- FIRST DRIVE: The Elantra is getting some BIG changes for 2024 from Hyundai. On the outside of the N-Line you will discover new led lighting, front fascia, badging and wheels. On the inside you will be welcomed by sport seats, (2) 10.25in screens and a large drive mode selector button. Under the hood is a 1.6L turbocharged inline-4 that pumps out 201HP & is mated to a 7-speed DCT. Is the 2024 Hyundai Elantra N-Line a BETTER new sport sedan than a Honda Civic Si?

That colour. At first glance it's blue, then after a second look it's purple. Very mind-tripping😂
I have a 2024 Elantra in that color. It's not very purple in person, it's just a really deep and beautiful shade of blue. I can definitely see how it may seem purple though
Wtf.. you’re totally right.. I wouldn’t want a purple Elantra..
its called Intense blue, i have the 2020 Elantra sport that now is called the N-line. same 201 hp and 192 Lbs/torque. 😇
@Brian_Eugene_LeeUnfortunately Hyundai discontinued the 6-speed manual transmission for the 2023 Elantra N Line. It's only available on the 2021 to 2022 model year cars. I have a 2022 Intense Blue 6-speed and it's a hoot to drive. If you want a manual you have to spring for the full blown Elantra N model and those start around $32-33K.
i would assume the demand for manuals are just not there for Hyundai.@Brian_Eugene_Lee
The day isn’t complete without a post from the raiti’s
💯
The front looks way better now. This refresh means business... Better than the Si
Wheels look nice as well
Great video keep up the good work bro
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Loving the new Hyundai Elantra N-Line & even though it looks cool on the outside I feel like the interior should be a little bit nicer but, it's not meant to be a luxury car, it's supposed to be sporty.
For being $2k less than civic si I think this interior is slightly better in terms of looks and tech but civic has better materials in my opinion but it’s the price you pay for $2000 less
@@OmarValencia-xo1is Yeah
I have an nline and the interior is on point for the price really. It's easily on par with Hondas of a few years ago imo.. the steering wheel is one of the best I've felt in any car I've driven.
It all melts away when you're carving corners.
Thank you for the review, I just got one, diggin the new look forsure!definitely an epic ride for 2024
That fart exhaust had me going 😂. But at least it’s good on gas, I like that they have the dct but I agree with Joe on the manual in the Civic Si.
As someone who has the same blue N line but 2023, I love the improvements they’ve added and features they added along side the exterior facelift I totally recommend this car(am going for the 2024 N tho🤪).
I have a 2023 N-Line i bought brand new and have absolutely loved it. Just hit 25k miles. Stock for stock I can confirm it's quicker than the SI. The DCT is a little jerky in traffic but you learn to drive around it in a way. Really like the new face lift look, it almost looks like the previous gen Elantra N now 😅.
Dope spec … and love it even more in the Exotic Green color 🔥
Awesome review brother
Hope you're able to get a Kia K5 GT w/ GT1 package to review when it comes out this spring. Love the refresh video you did in Chicago last time.
I loved that intense blue color
@Raiti's Rides good review as always. Question, I'm looking forward to buying a new car and trying to find out which car is better for in terms of driving experience, technology and for the money. I was looking at the Honda civic sport, Kia forte gt, and this Hyundai trim but the same trim levels as the other two cars. In your your experience with driving the cars I just mentioned... would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
"We have four doors......... for more friends" LMFAOOOOOO
Clean bold design, with the snappy performance to match. Balaced, sharp, and not just the look of it. Glad to see an auto maker not afraid to carve out a spot on lower-budget tier, yet be a prize to their owners nevertheless.
Love the color, I'd go with different wheels if possible. Not necessarily shiny chrome, but something other than black.
Man, that Drive Mode button. Adds to the cheap factor. Should be on the steering wheel. And Hyundai needs to start putting their fingerprint scanners for other countries on the center console or something, so we don’t get the leftover, stupid blank spaces on the dash here in the States. At least on some vehicles it’s magnetized to provide some purpose.
was a honda boy since high school. Not going to lie I would choose the 7speed DCT elentra over an Civic Si as a daily. Not to mentione this face lift on the N line look really good.
Finally. I love that you could fine one to review Joe. I still say this is the best bang for your buck performants at $30K. BUT if you can pay a couple more thousand you can get the outstanding GTI. I did.
This is so very true!
I love the look of the new gti I just can’t get past the infotainment 😢
I got to test drive a '23 ELantra N-Line when I went to get my Kona N-Line and I almost got that instead. It's super sporty. Anyone who gets this I feel is going to have a great time.
Thanks for sharing your your driving experience Mike.
Picked up the 2024 Sonata N line and love it 🎉 good tech , good looking and good power… doing a bunch of upgrades on my channel
nice. i heard getting better tires will help with some of the wheelspin on that one.
@@noob.168 yeah I’m looking into a street/summer tire
@@nickclashez michelin pilot sport 4s seems like a popular choice
Looks good. The only things i would change is the addition of an lsd, soft touch material at the top of the door panel and a cushioned arm rest on the doors.
That’s why you buy the real N. This car is for child’s play
@jsandy44 it's just fine.its interesting the insults people always find
@@slow_rednline4874 what insult?
I’m either the 3rd or the 37th 😁. Thanks Joe !! 👋
You’re always #1 to me Tom
Some feedback on the new POV Drive style. I think the 0.5x zoom out if a bit distorted. Try bringing it closer to a 1x so that we can truly see POV. We dont need to see 180 degrees of car all of the time. Just my two cents.
Nice Color and front end. Little too aggressive for me. Good Job Joe!
The exterior of the car is nice, the infotainment screen is another story, and when you were revving it, I didn’t like how it sounds like it was hitting something 😮
Cheap thrills. Nothing wrong with that at this price point. Looks good and has good features for the money too. Thanks for taking the time to review affordable cars for us, Joe.
A great review. Regarding 16:50, interestingly in Australia the 2024 Elantra N-Line (known as i30 sedan N-Line in Aust') comes with rear A/C vents in both the base model and the Premium model.
Man that would be nice, they don't in Canada. Does it have Ventilated seats???
The blue color looks so good on the car.
Beautiful car!! Thanks for the review
Looks great.
I’m quite impressed with it. It’s got a lot of safety stuff. I was reading about it on their website. I don’t mind hard surfaces plastic. It’s easier to clean than soft. Soft surfaces seem to be harder to clean for some reason.😂
I’m looking to get a Elantra N but damn they are hard to find, even the 22 models
Thank you for test and information 🙏🏻
In comparison of Toyota Corolla SE or XSE and Hyundai Elentra Nline,which one is better?
Thank you 🙏🏻
Ah, the hellraiser doll. It was my favorite, good times.
Thats funny lol, I was just at Crown Hyundai shopping around for an Elantra N last week
this is hands down the best looking car in its class.
For the price I think the new version looks amazing! Had the Sonata N-line and absolutely loved it. Great job Hyundai.
you loved it but don’t own it anymore? 😁
Joe is a machine with all these reviews...do you ever sleep man?
having drove the K5 and the Mazda 3 is this good for long road trips without my back hurting like it does in my 99 ranger or kia rio
Very cool looking
Im actually a fan of the side panel of the Elantra. It is very Lamborghini-like in design. Very exotic and aggressive looking. Something different in a seas of blandness.
Just put a deposit down for one of these in black! Would've loved the full N but cost + wait time was just too much
Trust me I totally understand where you are coming from.
Cost? The N isn't that expensive it's same price as last N .. the N is deff worth the wait trust me
In Canada the N is $10k more expensive. Not crazy but when the interest rate is at LEAST 6%, it adds up
When are the full N supposed to come out?
The full N is very difficult to not get in trouble with.NLine more sensible choice.
The same exhaust sound at around 10.01 is what i make as soon as i get up in the morning.
Nice, the 1.6t in these cars is a solid engine and will last super long.
The Hyundai ELANTRA N Line has the advantage in the areas of interior volume and base engine power. The Honda Civic Si has the advantage in the areas of reliability, resale value and overall quality score.
1.5t engines are having head gasket issues. I wouldn’t call that reliable.
At first I was like, that blue is nice but it's too intense.
Nice to see Hyundai still being competitive. I put 141k on my Genesis coupe 3.8 with some light mods (headers , intake, exhaust), and shes been very reliable. I alway kept up with the maintenance. Had it walnut blasted to clean the carbon out due to the direct injection. I also ended up buying a new 2023 Elantra N DCT last year and love it! Hyundai gets a bad rep imo. Keep up the maintenance and you will be fine
I have a 23 elantra n line. Same color. I like it a lot. At first, i hated the new 24 front end. But it is definitely growing on me. But as of now, I am still unsure.
Joe "Hard Work" Raiti!
What in the world is that pin stripe.
Is that stock?
I think you should make mr steven flood do his own review one day !!
I have a 22 N Line, and I love the redesign. LED headlights and the interior changes are a nice upgrade, but $2000 price tag increase isn’t great to see of course. I don’t like the new wheels though
How about the exhaust loudness? Is it loud enought till inside or?
It's ehh if your looking for a loud exhaust your best bet would be the elantra N
I really hope that cars Like this become even more popular
They seem great and cheap to own
Been tryna decide on this or the new 24 gli autobahn. Any guess on when yall will review that.
Get the Elantra N Line. I tried out the Jetta GLI and it's just not as luxurious and comfortable. Plus it's super unreliable. Thank me later bro.
@neuviswife i tried out both and think the exact opposite lol. Accept the reliability part.
Get the N
Elantra N-Line Backseat somehow leads to Hellraiser lool I love Joe
Can't wait until you do the actual N. I have a 6 speed 23 N. Definitely a great car.
Same heer! Stay tuned Stefan.
looks nice
I want one in the exotic green color. I love green
Love that color!
Did you just do a Star Wars transition on 17:23 !!!!!
I hope next-gen they replace the 7DCT with their 8 speed auto like they did on the Kona with the 1.6T.
I'll tell you what though - I love the design of the new Elantra. It looks really nice in-person, even in base trim.
We will see if they actually do that. I think eventually they will kill the N-Line off.
Current 2018 Elantra DCT owner with 110k miles,
Not sure how it is tuned on the 2024 Kona 1.6T but the 8 speed AT on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe 1.6T just felt sluggish between shifting compared to the 7 speed DCT.
Okay on a boring SUV but would be a downgrade on the Elantra N-Line. Just my 2 cents.
@@borisramirez6083the 8 speed auto on the 24 Kona NLine feels sluggish too, not as good as the DCT
Did you know the size of the tires?
Love Florida Raiti
That color reminds me of the 10thgen Honda Accord SPORT called STILL NIGHT PEARL
Yes please!!! Plenty of power and not crazy …..
Well at least they did something with the hideous death star area lol.
Its cool how they angle the infotainment center toward the driver.
This is so very true.
The death star is still on the 2024 N not to be confused with the N line in this video
@luisarreguin2202 what's this death star thing you are talking about??
@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621 on the 15 minute mark on the left side of the steering wheel you'll see the drive mode button in the video. But look up the inside of the 2022 2023 and 2024 Elantra N and all you'll see is a circle with a dash through it and it does literally nothing
The color nice but I still think it looks better on a crV hybrid sport tho
I still prefer my 2023 Fluid metal Elantra Nline ultimate :D I do like the newer DTR lights but the front nose now looks squished and Im not a fan of all that gloss black plastic. The newer wheels with the N badge on the centre wheel caps is cool touch.
I agree. Love the new wheels.
I have a 21 6mt. Still no LSD, same amount of power. Still pretty basic interior. That new front fascia is very nice though.
I love it!
I’m so glad you are digging this one
@@RaitisRides thanks Raiti!!!
any ideas when you'll be able to review the 2024 Elantra N?
They're just now getting the car in places like Australia and I THINK Canada..... America is just now getting the N Line 😅 it's probably going to be late spring or early summer when the N comes out sadly
I’m waiting on the Elantra N and the dealership by me said it’s in production and they should have it by May or June. That’s what I was told but we will see.
I have the 2022 Hyundai N-Line. This one looks way better on the front end. Ratio always love your reviews!
Only problem is, there's a Jetta GLI 40th Anniversary Edition right about the same price.
That’s good that you mentioned that Elantra has 1 hp more comparing to Si, but forgot to say that Si has more torque and faster 0-60. I don’t know why, but you are professional so might be you know better
Compact these days is more a suggestion than it is a size class.
Don't know if it's better but for the price it is a nice option.
This is so very true Omar!
What was that nice coming from the exhaust system? That did not sound good.
So that’s the basic n line ??? Cause is missing the big spoiler the red calipers the dual big exhaust the N logo on the seats the lights up etc am I missing something ?
This is the N-line, not the full N.
N-line (car on video): 1.6t, 201hp
N: 2.0t, 276hp
Different trim models.
@borisramirez6083 so a base version of the n??
Should have did the wheels the same silver color that's in the grille.
Once again got hit with the hr from work for being ‘too’ nice to a coworke, thank you Raiti for a video to help me through this.
I watch his videos at work too lol. Dealership life is rough. Watching some car reviews helps me destress during the day
ROTFL 😂 😂 😂... The food references though 😂 😂. This and the current Sonata went totally under the radar for me; I saw a review for the Elantra N and that's what I'm going with on the next lease. Sleeper cars that have all the necessary tech and speed without the hefty price.... Wow.
I wish the emblems and everything else was black and i hope the N will have this color
Its funny how the us spec is missing features that the cad spec has. Seems to be a regular practice tho.
Yes of course Joe & I really loved the color.
Something you might need to think about before buying a civic. SI. Especially since this comes with a DCT.
I THINK THE GREEN IS COOL❤
are you digging the pin-stripe?
Not for me
I’ll still take my 2022 N Line over the new redesign. The wheels on the 2024 are too busy and not a fan of the front grill. The 2022 is tougher looking. And I replaced the Hyundai logos and Elantra with all black, max tint on the windows - on a stark white car. Badass looking vehicle!
I thought the same until I came across the vehicle in person. Trust me, you will change your mind lol
At 19:00 dude on a bike was "on throttle" 👍
CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW ELENTRA N who wants a n line either N or nothing
car wld be so much better once they get ride of tht zig zag on the doors, Hyundai cars always seems to have tht weird shaped style esp at the front, seems to wide. But glad its not a manual never been a fan of manuals, when I drive I dont want to work I just want to relax lol
The visible seam on that grab handle is incredibly cheap looking.
I had the similar one of this vehicle the 2019 Hyundai Elantra sport with DCT and was the worst car I ever had. The DCT went out at 30k. The paint started peeling at 40k. Ac issues. Breaks would pull to the left and the service department was awful. So happy with my 2024 Honda civic.
You had a lemon then.
N-line in Korea is a 1.6L NA engine without the turbocharger... N-line only offers the appearance resembling N without engine upgrade... Please sell it with a turbo like in the US!!
Yes
Thanks for your vote!
I don’t like the sea of gloss black on the outside over time that’ll get scratched up should’ve been all color matched with the rest of the car
I'm gonna need you to get your hands on one of those Rivian R3s. I don't care how you do it. I will help with your legal bills.
Where is the n mode
