I'm 40 years old and have been driving my 2008 Civic into the ground and am finally considering a new set of wheels. I didn't realize that I needed more videos like this that goes over new-fangled digital features until I watched this. Now I have an idea that I got a lot to catch up on -_-
If you have an Elantra hybrid, then you don't have a conventional 12v accessory battery. It is not recommended to use your car to jumpstart another vehicle if that's the case. However in an emergency situation if you have no choice, there is a positive post in the fuse box under the hood on the driver side. The negative post is just one of the strut tower bolts. If you ever need to jumpstart your own vehicle, all you need to do is press the button on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel that says 12 volt reset.
Hey, thanks for the video! quick question: do you recommend rustproofing or undercoating the hybrid for Canadian winters? Does rustproofing or undercoating void warranty? thanks!
It's not recommended on hybrid vehicles. But can be done if you find someone experienced with hybrids. It doesn't void warranty, but if it causes an issue with service or repair, then they might charge you for the issue. Personally... I wouldn't bother
The review I've been waiting for! I ordered my Luxury Hybrid on July 25th, I was told 10-15 weeks for delivery in NS so hoping for November. Can't wait to get it.
Pre-Oredered mine last month. Took the Luxury 2 tone edition. I always said I would NEVER buy a white car as it becomes to dirty too fast so I bought the white one lol The "Z" pattern on the door really stands out in the white color so that the reason why its going to be white! I should get it by June or July 2023. They said theres a 10 month wait. Its going to be a Long winter!!! Thanks for the great video it really helps knowing whats coming!
@@infounbox6338 Got a call from my dealer, my car is now in production (11/May) dealer say 69 days before getting it in! I ordered it in October 2022 they had said 10 months wait so they are so far spot on the date.
Can't wait for my new Elantra Hybrid. I put deposit down on an incoming allocation, but they kept bumping the date out. Finally, this week and last the date has held firm, hopefully that's a good sign.
Ed, I don't want to be a pest... but do you know if the dual clutch transmission in the Elantra Hybrid is wet or dry? Can't find that info anywhere. Thanks!
@@charlesworton4020 yep, you're correct. The dry dual clutch in the N-line is sufficient for this vehicles size and power output. But for the full N performance model, a wet system was needed for the extra horsepower and abuse it gets.
Help! I purchased the 2023 Elantra Elite Hybrid. (I ❤️it) however, while using apple assist and navigation with phone charger connected, I’m getting two navigation systems announcing directions. Since I do Uber/lyft with in app navigation, I’m assuming this is my problem. I’ve been through every car setting 100x’s already. I’ve even gone through phone settings. I just can’t figure it out. I think it would be awesome if you did spend an insane amount of time going through all the settings because I find very little online. If your not sure why I’m having this navigation issue; who should I call? Lol Thanks in advance.
I have a 2023 Hybrid Blue. The cruise control has a small jerk that you can feel when cruising. Took it to dealer, nothing known about it. Me and service manager drove another Hybrid it had same issue. If your going to buy one check it out with cruise on. Oh, was wanting to trade due to the small jerking. My dealer offered me 7,000 dollars less than I paid. Only little over 1,000 miles and not a month old.
Your dealer isn't very good at trade values... These cars are highly sought after and are selling in the used market for as much and sometimes more then new! 😳 I've not heard of any jerkiness on these vehicles to be honest... But One thing I could suggest is to give it some time, the transmission and engine computers need to learn your driving habits and adapt accordingly. Is it perhaps just the adaptive cruise picking up the car in front of you? ( If so equipped?)
@@edsgarage001 ...No adaptive cruise. My 2019 Subaru has that no issues. I'm not sure it's a learning issue. No issues when not using cruise. Tried different drive modes with no change. It's a 2023, not 22 as originally posted.
Totally different car, so no point comparing the two. In any event, I honestly have never heard of this complaint. I wish I could help you further. You should sell it privately, could possibly make a profit, depending on your location
@@edsgarage001Safety rating and insurance companies agree with you haha. They are neat. I simply console myself that a replacement LED is about 1500 USD at MSRP - and sometimes things die prematurely. My gf has astigmatism and she finds LED lights to be blinding in particular. They are so much brighter and have so much greater distance, for better or worse.
It's not in the same size class as the Camry.... That would be the Sonata hybrid. This competes with the Corolla hybrid, and it's definitely better then that. But if you're really comparing the Elantra to the Camry, then, The Camry has a nicer ride, but the Elantra is WAY less expensive and gets better fuel economy.
@@edsgarage001 Thanks for replying, In Australia where I live we don't get the Sonata Hybrid so its either the Corolla or Camry Hybrid for now and from next year we get the Elantra Hybrid. I'm leaning towards the Elantra Hybrid as the next gen Camry Hybrid wont be out until 2025.
@@edsgarage001 Next year we get the same Elantra Hybrid as sold in North America in 2023 and the refresh will most likely be with us in 2025. We're late as always🙂
@@edsgarage001 Thanks Ed’s, I will go to Hyundai dealership in my city to start a deal how to get a plug in Tucson 2022 N-line. After watching most of your videos I guess that is the best with the full options in it. Do you have any advice?
@@edsgarage001 Thanks, Ed. Played with it a bunch, discovered that if I unplugged my wireless android adapter, pressing media brings up a menu which includes Sounds of Nature. But with the adapter connected, pressing media dumps me directly into Spotify. That was the difficulty I was experiencing. Thanks for your clarification. BTW, the new software update seems to have deleted the vacuum tube radio display; now you get a text window displaying the callsign and frequency, and the stations logo. There's also a scrollable list on the left displaying other stations. But I miss the vacuum tubes.
You can also just hit the mode button repeatedly on your steering wheel .. it'll cycle through the options. If it's not there as one of The options, then hold the mode button until the settings come up on the infotainment screen. Just make sure it's checked as one of the available music sources.
Ultimate has wireless Android auto. Luxury does not. Google maps is superior to every on board map and google assistant is better than any on car voice commands by a wide margin.
Any Hyundai that has built in navigation, doesn't have wireless AA/carplay. The ultimate is the higher trim though, I think you meant the other way around
@@edsgarage001 It makes no sense but what I said is true haha. The Ultimate Hybrid 2021 that I have does not have the bigger screen with navigation but has wireless android auto and wireless charging which is a convenience I love honestly as I would only use on board navigation if mobile internet was down.
Didn't even get the automatic seats? Not much FOMO at all in comparison to Ultimate. The lack of wireless Android auto is a major failure in this trim in comparison to Ultimate as well. What's the point of wireless charging when you need to use a cable for Android auto which is head and shoulders above any on board system.
Honestly, the blame is on the lack of chips and other components. Hyundai like other brands is doing its best to put out *anything* right now. We now have a Palisade that doesn't have proximity entry and push button start, yet comes with navigation 🤷 Things are going to be weird for the best couple years still.
@@edsgarage001 Interesting times indeed. Many are getting one key fob with a new car. I also hear that people are waiting months for repairs. I suppose we take much for granted.
Not quite.. I'm actually in Canada, so our trim levels are a bit different. The USA limited model actually has a few more features then our luxury model.
Nope, just can't show it anyway as it requires a bluelink account to function. So until it's sold and delivered, and bluelink is setup for the buyer, it doesn't work.
Only vents buddy? I was so much in love with his car and they didn’t give Elantra same love as they did in USA 1. no power driver seat 2. No rear vents 3. No rear heated seats 4. No wireless carplay 5. No auto dimming rear view mirror 6. No LED low/high beams
Yep... But the price reflects that all of course. You know what's crazy though, I've got several clients with the 22 Elantra ultimate (non hybrid) reporting around 4l/100km on the highway. That's insanely good fuel economy for a non hybrid. So maybe consider the non-hybrid model in order to get all the features, it'll still be a fuel sipper 🙂
