The 2017 Elantra is available in five trims: SE, Eco, Sport, Limited, and GT. The base SE model is pretty short on features. It comes standard with remote keyless entry, satellite radio, and a USB port. Most shoppers will be fine with a base model equipped with one of two available packages. The Popular Equipment package adds a 7-inch touch screen, a rearview camera, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, cruise control, and alloy wheels. Better still, SE models with the Tech package gain blind spot detection, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and push-button start.
The Elantra Eco and Elantra Limited trims come standard with all of these features. The Eco adds a more fuel-efficient turbocharged engine, while the Limited adds leather seats and Blue Link connectivity. Look for Limited models equipped with options like heated rear seats, a navigation system, and a sunroof. Notably, only the Limited trim is available with advanced safety features like forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control.
If you want more athleticism, look for Sport and GT models. The Elantra Sport shares most of its features with the SE trim (with the Popular Equipment package), but it adds a stiffer suspension, revised steering, uprated brakes, and a more powerful turbocharged engine. Last but not least is the Elantra GT - the only hatchback in this lineup. Its standard and available features are fairly similar to the SE model’s, but it does have a more powerful four-cylinder engine. Expedition Money LLC

I bought a 2018 and what I like most about it is what it doesn't have. No troublesome cvt or dual clutch transmission. No gasoline direct injection to cause carbon build up issues. No turbocharger to waste gas and shorten engine life. No complicated multi link rear suspension to cause alignment issues an to eat tires prematurely. Just a cheap and simple commuter car for the long run.
Your points are exactly why I bought my 2018 Elantra over the competition, plus the long warranty and lower price. Unfortunately, it's been nothing but problems from day one. Very disappointed. I think I got a lemon.
palebeachbum What kind of issues are you experiencing? I’m test driving some used 2017-2019 Elantras this weekend :/
@@datrizz Most notably, a rattle during moderate to hard acceleration. Elantra interior noise is very well insulated, so you have to listen closely with fan low (stereo off, of course). Also the engine surges getting up to highway speed and once cruising, it occasionally stutters. Pay attention to these characteristics during your test drive. Doesn't seem to affect all Elantras, but it's common enough. I think it has to do with faulty coils, from what I've read online. Whatever "coils" are.
Ignition coils, an easy fix for a dealership that will be covered under warranty, given they've dealt with a production flaw and install good parts. Takes all of 20 minutes to do for a weekend mechanic.
CVTs suck, and the dual clutch autos are sketchy, yes. After another generation or so, the dual-clutch will reign supreme even over manuals. The performance gained from using GDI is worth the carbon buildup on the valves. Get an oil catch can and do the GDI cleaning, and all is well. I'm hoping Hyundai/Kia will do the port+direct injection soon. Having a turbo or not, an enthusiast is going to drive with a lead foot, so even a modern NA 4-cyl can become inefficient. My 1.6T Koup SX is efficient enough, but we aren't buying turbo cars for fuel efficiency. We want to dust some bitches. If you're an A to B driver who could give a shit, yeah get a NA Corolla/Forte/Elantra
@@ES350gitgapped My Elantra has been to the dealership 3 times for its poor running. They said they can do nothing until the engine throws a code. So I'm SOL until the check engine light comes on. Going on 10mos now. The Elantra GT (hatchback) offers a GDI engine of the same displacement as the MPI 2.0L in the sedan. It only makes 14hp more. Not at all worth the extra frequent expense of carbon cleaning recommended by Hyundai every 7,500 miles. MPI engine runs quieter too. No GDI tick at idle.
I’m thinking about buying an Elantra so thank you for the comprehensive overview!
Just got a 2018 SEL w/ 37k Miles as my first car! Absolutely love it.. 😃
How much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking? Im about to buy a 2018 SEL also with 39k miles for $14,000
@@paytonhankins3124 $12.5K, $500 down
Same LOL
Danm inflation same condition and I bought it for 17k
Awesome video! Very detailed opinions and everything made sense definitely answered all my questions before buying this car!
I love the separate key and key fob combo, the combined key fob with key setup causes the key to become a little loose after awhile
I bought a 2018 Hyundai Elantra in January of 2019, only 4K miles. It is the best car I've ever owned. The Sport mode feels like having turbo, but I don't use it very often.
I just bought a 2018 SEL, with 41,000 miles and I love it. Amazing car.
how much did you buy it for?
Kranthi Teja it was 14.5 after taxes, registration, insurance. I put 5k down.
@@metzler1823 cool ty for the info
Metzler18 how much is your monthly payment bro
Beast Boy Inc. I put down 5k and I pay $225 a month!
This material is fine, comfortable, and SUPER DURABLE. And very similar to many cars today, you probably have too much air pressure in tires. I bought mine new and noticed after several days it felt every bump in the road. I checked my tires, all 4 were at 45 psi !! I Lowered them to 36, thats the correct psi. Made a big difference. After 4 years and 75.000 miles, car was purchased june 2016, it has been absolutely flawless, 0 problems, 0 repairs. Mine is loaded with all the goodies you would like. The value edition would please you quite well I think. I alway get 28 29 mpg in town, and 38 40 on the freeway, at 80 85 mph. Normal mode.
Got a 2019 elantra sel, i love everything about it
The elantra value edition has the leather wheel and shift knob, heated seats, sunroof, dual zone auto climate control for just a little more money.
Just bought a CPO 2018 SE with 27k. So far so good. Coming from a sort of loaded Chevy cobalt, it's back to basics. Gotta get used to turning on the headlights manually lol.
Great car for the money!! I learned that if you buy one with lower miles that the first thing to do is change the plugs and coils. The factory coils and plugs suck!!!
The quality and ride is impressive for a cheap car. I bought a 2017 from Hertz Rental Car Sales with 34,000 mi for $12,000 two and half years ago and now has 108,000mi
and only thing i had to fix was coils, plugs, gas cap, oil pressure sensor and brake pads( all purchased on AMAZON) ,did it all myself. This car still runs and drives wonderful.
I would recommend the 2017-2018 Elantra for a good used vehicle!!!
Did you sold the Fiat? :(
I have a 2008 hyundai elantra like the car but the check engine light came on put 5 sensors on it still can't get it to run smoothly
I bought my 2018 SEL with only 5k miles on it, i’m up to about 16k and i’m loving it so far, my keys look nothing like that though i have some chestnut leather looking fobs that are VERY stylish
I got mine all gunmetal grey with the rims and tinted my windows, looks very sleek for a car i got for less than 15k
Almost looks like a ford fusion if you quickly look at it. Dislike the trunk, I miss the days of larger hatchbacks. It just gives you a tad more room and ease of loading. Im sure cheaper to maintain than the audi line. Thank you.
Yeah, it does look like the Fusion. Interesting.
Volume control is on the left because they kept stick shift drivers in mind👍 steering wheel is flipped for RHD countries
Hyundai sells a lot of value, based on Consumer Reports. Used market is an opportunity for cash buyers as resale options are limited and Dealerships generally dump trade ins to auction. Cheers
Interesting that the dealerships dump the trade-in to auction. I wonder if they get more money that way or the headache of selling used cars is just not worth the money. I keep telling myself that I'm going to snag me one of the Kia K900s that come back in after a lease because I like the cars, but I ain't paying $70K or a Kia. =)
@@joshuaychung Bought my garage stored ten years old Kia Amante with 52,000 miles, still under warranty, loaded for $6,000. Best bang for buck car I've owned.
Very thoroughly and well presented review. It's hard to tell on video, but it looks like your rental did have the beige interior. A light gray interior is also available, in addition to monochromatic black. I too find Sport mode pretty pointless and annoying. For me the car isn't drivable in Sport mode. The throttle is far too jump and the revs stay way too high cruising. Needlessly wastes gas and makes extra noise. In Eco mode, I personally find the transmission overly eager to upshift and far too reluctant and unresponsive to downshift. I can't keep up with traffic in Eco mode. I'm averaging 35-37mpg in mostly city driving with short jaunts on the interstate. In 100% city driving with the AC on the whole time, I average 30mpg. In 100% highway cruising with AC on, I exceed 45mpg. It's phenomenally fuel efficient considering it's a fairly peppy car and not a subcompact. The interior fit and fit is top rate for the compact economy car class. I'm not a fan of the satin silver interior trim. Looks too cheap. I wish instead they had used the brushed chrome looking pinstripe trim that outlines the air vents and stereo pod area that you pointed out. That would have looked much more upscale IMO.
Thanks, awesome real world experience!
Really enjoyed all your information on the car. I have 17 Elantra having lots of problems right now. On my second engine because of the dealers failure to complete my oil change correctly. Problems ever sense. Trying to find the best way to get out of it and go back to a Toyota.
Does the SEL not have SiriusXM? For a 2018 car I'm surprised XM isn't available
SIRIUS XM is a joke, Don't get it.
I have a 2018 Elantra SEL, Sirius XM is available.
Got a 2018 Hyundai Elantra SEL 37,000 miles as my first car today. so far so good (:
It's a nice car!
Congratulations!
I'm dealing with poor suspension issues
I thought these had ISG.
This is not a 2018 Hyundai Elentra SEL, that SEL version comes with a keyless start. You probably have the SE or standard version of the car….
I have an SEL. It is not push to start
You do realize, the more tech, the more expensive! I prefer the look of the 2010 and I've seen one with 100K miles and no problems. "Sporty"? It's a commuter car and bigger wheels means a rougher ride.Want more trunk space? Get a 5 door!
I don’t understand how so many people like the look of this car over the 2019/20 version. This look reminds me of a huge catfish with its mouth open.
Any burning oil issues? Anyone?
Does the American version of Elant also have the problem of burning engine oil?
Not a huge fan of the exterior body styling. I think the shift knob is cheap looking and worse shifting than the 2016s. Interior plastics look worse quality than previous gen. I do like the headlights, front fascia and back end.
Is there a problem with the paint loss and cracking of the American version of Elant interior plastic board?
My 2017 has a key fob what is keyless lol
Keyless is when you don’t have to use the key to start the car, but just have it near you
you cannot compare a Audi or a BMW to $20,000 dollar car
Wow this looks VERY similar to Audi. Almost identical esthetic
I agree! And they both look pretty good to me.
Only the front grill
By the way this is an 2018 SEL. That sucks getting a car with 36,000 miles on it. I hate getting old rental cars.
Wow, man you have a good eye! How did you figure that out?
I bet I can take the SEL with just a iphone charger 🚫no key🚫
The big grill is horrible. The designer must be watching Jaw too long. Awful. Small instruments Dashboard is silly shaped.
Lmao still better than newer models.
The frame of this car is cheap looking in my opinion.
