- This week we had finally had chance to test drive 2019 Hyundai Elantra. With 1.6 multiport gasoline engine and CVT, let’s see if the Elantra 2019 has what it takes to compete in compact sedan market.

The design basically grows on you every time you see it
That is great! Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead you are welcome
I think next generation elantra will destroy rivals
You're lying. Hyndai paid troll probably
I agree it's a design that is Miles Ahead of our grasp and the more you look at it in person the more crows on you it's simply a genius design and it's elegant sophisticated its aggressive and it's very very modern people just don't get it
I have a brand new Hyundai elantra sel and I absolutely enjoy the the whole car the technology the fuel economy I could just keep going on about how much bang you get for you buck good job Hyundai keep up the good work!!
Hi Allen. Glad you like it. Thank you!
I luv the new front end, as the old model's front end dipped too low, and was not at all aggressive or a balanced steady look. I love the triangular look, and the rear lamps make it more of a balanced connected body whole.
Wow, Dahmen. The new front is controversial, but i guess design is subjective thing. Thanks for tuning in
You deserve more recognition 👏👏👏 Honestly your reviews are spot on and are more realistic compared to other car review channels 🙌👏👏👏
Thank you Hamoozi. Glad you like this new Hyundai Elantra. WE will keep it coming. Thank you!
New design is fine. No problem for me. Nice car.
Thank you for your comment.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For me I don’t like the new design but I like the engine and transmission.
Well, yes. I agree with you! Thank you so much for tuning in
Great thorough review ✌ I am yet to like the new design but you've definitely earned my subscription 👍
Thank you so much Mr.Collier. I will great you often with test drives.
I don't know what everyone's bitchin about,...I luv this new design/refresh!!!!!...The front end incorporates Hyundai's new cascading grille, and luv the triangle lights/LEDs and to me everything looks very well integrated!...The rear is ok as well,...but I really like how they tweaked the interior which looks better and more premium IMO!!!!!...So overall I think they did a good job on the refresh and looking forward to the completely new design at some point in the future !!!!!
Yes, i think they done great job with rear and interior. But front will take sometime to get used to for most of people. But if you look at the car in person, it is not so bad. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead yeah the front is more something for hatchback but back and everything else look okay
That's right, people like me are bitching. About the restyle '19 Hyundai Elantra.
According to me its the best front in new era even i dont understand why ppl don't like it if have money i will definitely buy this only
I love it
The old look was jst perfect then the new
I know... thanks.
Believe me. when you see the new elentra 2021 front design, you will definitely like the current 2020 design alot
Really?
Very good review: polite, accurate, no nonsense. I like the looks of the old Elantra better. They took a friendly looking car and made it mean looking like the nasty Toyota monsters we see on the streets these days. Your automobile should look like a trusted friend, not like a cruel killing machine.
Thank you for your kind words. I mean the new front look take a little time to get used to. But i personally think it is better looking than Prius. Thank you.
Haha, your words are descriptive.
this car is pretty legendary. you can drive across the country with no problems as long as you keep up with all the maintenance items. i did some long distance drives like a champ.
Wow, glad you like this 2019 Hyundai Elantra review.
2019 Kia Forte EX Launch 🚀 Edition In Fire 🔥 Orange 🍊!!
Forte looks pretty sleek. Thanks for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Thanks.
Love the 2019/20 design!
Thank you for enjoying the Hyundai Elantra review.
I like the new design, I got this car yesterday and it's nice to seperate the similar looks for accent and elantra
How do you like this all new Hyundai Elantra N? th-cam.com/video/qYXKeWn1tSg/w-d-xo.html
@@AsianPetrolhead I've been a fan of the veloster n and was gonna get it if the market didn't go so high for prices but when I heard the elantra got an n model, I couldn't be more excited. The 2021 design already looked phenomenal and the n just makes it look even more amazing. I rlly like the direction Hyundai took with the car
Still love my 18’ Elantra Sport.
Oh yes, i think 18 Elantea Sport was the pinnacle. Thank you for tuning in.
Thanks for your fair review👍👍
Thank you Mr.Ramadan
It is a pity that in Russia some options are not available. For example, a smart cruise - control, full-time navigation, sunroof, Clean air system.
Yes, makers tend to put different options by countries. Thank you.
This elantra is launching in india on 3rd October.
But i am show first time the modal on your channel bro.
Love you from india.😘
Thank you Rvi for tuning in. And i hope you like new Elantra. Thanks
@@AsianPetrolhead ofcourse bro..!
Honestly, I still think the old one looked better. I just can't get used to this new look.
Yes, old one looked solid. thanks
I actually hated the old design which was why I bought a Honda instead do the ugly old Elantra. 4 years late I finally traded in the Honda for the Hyundai Elantra coz at least I can live with this design. Old one is ugly imo.
People can think all they want but I just bought this car and it actually looks great and it sure beats my old car which was a Toyota Corolla. I would like to see you negative people design something better
Thanks Agostino. well, the design is kinda strong at first, but you can get used to it. Overall it is nice update. thank you.
Really love this car. Unique design. 😘
Than you for tuning in! Many dislike the new design. But glad you like it!
Ya haha I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews. But ya I love it. I just bought the car actually. Waiting for its arrival 😉
Anyway, your host is amazing! Keep up the great work. :)
New design looks pretty
Thank you Joshua for tuning in.
According to me its the best front in new era even i dont understand why ppl don't like it if have money i will definitely buy this only
Good to hear that some of us like the new front design. Thanks.
I like this front end, at first i didnt like it but if has grown on me! Really like also details you talk about ! Merci beaucoup de la part d'un Québécois ( french part of Canada, in the West) I have a Chevrolet Spark 2016 Built in South Korea... I hope GM will continue to make this model!
I think the 18 Elantra was a perfect front design for the car. Still a very good vehicle
Thank you TB for tuning in.
I like how he rev right after he finished his speech
Yes, just feels good. Thank you for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. thank you.
US Elantra with 2.0 MPI takes about 9 seconds 0-60 mph (100kph).
Base Sonata with 2.4 GDI and 6 spd automatic takes about 8.2 seconds.
Thank you Doug always sharing info with us.
Keep posting your good work
Thank you sandeep for supporting us.
Charlie, you went around that corner like Batman in the Batmobile.
hahahah it actually a hyundai mobile. Thank you!
In my opinion, new front and back design is better than elantra 2017. I really like the led headlight, it is very nice and modern. I will buy this car when It come to Vietnam. Love elantra !
Thank you for tuning in all the way from Vietnam
The facelift will take a bit of getting used to but I think the design is good looking and the feature list is quite good. I love the tail lights and the way they integrate the button to open the trunk into the logo. It looks like it will also handle pretty decently for a non-sporty model. I enjoy the fact that Hyundai and KIA are making their cars quieter but some of their tire choices could be better or they can at least put some more insulation on the cars to lessen the road noise. Looking forward to seeing how the Sport version performs.
Will you be doing a video on the Forte GT any time soon?
Thank you for your comment. Yes the trunk opener is same as Sonata’s. You push the upper part of the logo. Hyundai & Kia is getting better in terms of handling and insulation. Hope they have bigger picture with their design.
Actually the front is very similar to the Nexo. I like it
Well Elantra looks much more radical to my eyes. Thank you for tuning in.
I got to see the facelifted Elantra earlier this week after work, and it looks better in the flesh. The thing that sucks about the Elantra for me is that unlike the Elantra GT, you can't get Apple Carplay/Android Auto with the Elantra SE M/T. :(
Thank you for your comment. Well the design looks better in person. I think so too. Maybe it needs sometime to get used to. Thank you.
Actually, I'm getting to like the grille. Here in Australia, only about one in ten Hyundai small cars is an Elantra, the rest being variations of the i30 hatch. I hope the '19 Elantra Sport has the 1.6Turbo with 201 horse power and maybe mated with a 7speed DCT or manual.
Yes it is the Elantra Sport is introduced in Korea few days ago and it does have 1.6 turbo and dct. But looks are pretty similar.
It doesn't look quite so bad in person, in darker colors. The grille is too busy, and the lower fascia looks like a snowplow.
The dashboard looks like a doodle by a fourth-grader in detention, with the checkerboard gauges and half-chromed vents. The back isn't too bad.
I was amused when you said they changed from direct injection for fuel efficiency; that's why they said they went to it in the first place, until people complained about having to have the valves cleaned.
Yes, but the powertrain might vary depending on your country. Thank you.
I do prefer the last design better in the front but I do really like the rear except the part that there are lights on the bumper instead of with the rest of the lights. That’s odd to me.
Yes, i like the rear design better too. Thanks.
Awesome review! I’m subscribed! Now for almost the same money, Honda Fit or Hyundai Avante?
This is Hyundai Avante. You can get Kia forte with similar money. Thank you Sean for subscribing.
Nice review! The MPI gazoline engine is rubbish where the diesel engine is good enough and i recommend this one.
Yes, i mean its efficient and well has enough power to move the sedan. Thanks.
I love the new design. The black model in particular gives me batmobile vibes.
Yes, but because of too many triangles this new Hyundai Elantra didn't sell so well, here in Korea. Thank you Nick. And if you love cars and car reviews, do consider subscribing to our channel, so you don't miss out in the future. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead just subscribed! I recently bought this vehicle here in the United States and it’s an awesome ride. Looking forward to tinting the windows, putting some black rims on it, and getting a nice little spoiler attached; to just make this car go from good to great. Thanks for the review.
Wow nice car i like this new Elantra i hope for engine with more hp.
Hyundai said they will introduce Elantra Sport with 1.6T & DCT this November. Thank you.
Good review 💗
Thank you sir!
Sehr schön
Thanks for tuning in.
I bought a new 2018 white Value Edition two days ago... Love it. Much prefer the looks of this version vs the new 2019. I bought the 18 for precisely that reason - do NOT like or want the 19.
Congratulations on your new car. And thanks.
The new design is very good...but if always accelerate like him ,1 year later ,this CVT gear box will have many problem .No matter how its program, CVT still CVT.
True, but what i can tell you is the new has imroved a lot. Thanks.
I think it looks cool from front
Wow, you are one of the few. thanks for tuning in.
I would have liked it more if the headlights stopped at the edge of the grille, and didn't continue to a point. Overall nice design tho.
Yes many miss the old design. Thank you for tuning in.
We need a great g70 review!!
Sure thing. Hyundai just rolled out 2019 Genesis g70. I will try to arrange a press car. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead awesome can't wait, the cars will finally be on sale next month here in the states
i own the 2019 elantra value edition, i wasn't impressed with the body style very much but i didn't hate it. i just thought it was plain but a good bargain with 7k off sticker. to my surprise i have had a few people tell me they really liked the body style. no one has told me they dont like it. for the price you can get these for they are a great bargain. you can pick up the se for 12500 after rebates. thats w/power windows,locks, keyless entry, air, bluetooth, automatic. so far i really like the car for the price paid, drive train is very smooth, the ride is stable though i wish it were softer, there is some tire noise but not horrible. mpg is very good but about 3 to 4 mpg off what the computer states but still gets rated mpg. dont test drive one and believe what the computer says, i guarantee you its way off. i get about 39mpg on the hwy US. i had a couple minor rattles but i easily fixed them. i would never pay sticker price but with the huge discounts you get this is a great car and a great bargain.
thank you Ben for sharing your thoughts. Glad you like the car.
Wait I have a question. Why is it that this car in Korea has more features than here in the US. I saw ventilated seats, which isn’t an option here, and parking sensors. This is unfair.
Wow thanks for the detailed question. I have not looked at the 2019 Elantra option list, but options and powertrain will differ regionally.

Thank you the option list, it is unfortunate Hyundai omit some of option depending countries which they sell cars. But i guess it has to do with pricing and many other factors. Thank you.
Fyi I just moved to the US from Korea and was very surprised that parking sensors are not standard or at least in the upper trims even for the medium/small sized sedans. Maybe because parking is much easier/roomier here? As for ventilated seats, it’s usually an option for the top trim in sedans in Korea. Here, apparently not.
nice video.i really think the outgoing model looks better than this one
Thanks many feep than way. We are just getting started so pleae share our channel with your friends.
Thanks for this video's
Thank you Mohamed. This elantra isn't good looking, but it drives quite well. Thank you
Thanks for the nice review, what color is the one you were standing beside at the beginning of the video?
Finally. Thank you for this review. I am glad Hyundai decided to revert to MPi and ditch GDi for better reliability in the long run without the concern of carbon build up at intake valve side. Though I felt both interior and exterior are better looking than before, it just lacks of character. Very much like and miss the Elantra MD fluid design version 1 by Hyundai's truly Korean designer instead. Is just too bad. Due to ex Audi designer input some Audish DNA to the nose, it just doesn't work. New Corolla works very well in the design department. To the ex Audi designer of Hyundai, give Hyundai something original with character, ditch the audish DNA.
Thank you Mr. Polo for your comments. Yes, i mean i see designers and engineers working hard to improve the AD. Hope people start liking the front design. Thank you.
The design is awesome except the wheels are too small..it should be bigger
Thank you for tuning in. It is bigger than the predecessor! Thank you!
Классная Элантра! 👍
Thank you for tuning in!
Cute Elantra now I'm torn on rather to get the Elantra or Sonata
I like Sonata better, because of roomy interior and lot of high tech features. thanks
I know it's hard to see, but I'm assuming Hyundai wanted the front and headlights especially to look similar to the ones on the Audi A4.
Yeah, maybe. But it looks to triangular to my eyes, too.
@@AsianPetrolhead yes, I suppose it didn't turn out as well as they would've liked.
Nice review and nice looking car but I used the new accent with CVT unfortunately its annoying and drink so much fuel because of its transmission and low power also its electric wheel is not accurate.
The new CVT seems like it has improved very much. And you might not get the CVT in your country. Thank you!
@@AsianPetrolhead yes it is not in the Indian version even not in USA
123hp with a CVT? Glad I went with the Elantra GT
Yes, GT is nice car.
Actually it's a lot more horsepower than that do your f****** homework buddy
It’s a nice alternative
Thank you Gary!
Thanks Mate. Do you have any user review after a period of use. Thanks.
Not at the moment. We want to do owner’s review. But it is not easy finding English speaking owner in Korea. But nonethless we are working on it.
damn! that looks like honda accord and toyota prius had a baby
Haha thans Paul.
new front design is very good except that lower bumper.
The front is very controvertial. Thanks.
You are absolutely correct
Awesome Elantra sport is the new N-line?
No they will have Elantra Sport debuting this Nov. In Korea, Hyundai have introduced I30 n-line, today
Which is you know filling the gap between the real N and regular i30. Thank you.
good, thank you.
I will keep an eye out for your review on the 2019 Elantra Sport, cheers.
@@sonsofmatriarchy5552 next year
Hyundai Elantra or new Kia Forte??? Which one would you personally pick?
I would choose Elantra, just because i like interior design better over the Forte!
@@AsianPetrolhead The Elantra. Because it's a bold new design that looks fantastic!
i think previous gen elantra looks better to me..
Yes many miss the old design. Thanks for tuning in.
I suspect whoever designed the US Elantra GT front end did this....the 2018 Elantra Sport is a beautiful front end but the rest of the hyundai lineup has some pretty bad ones throughout....hopefully they "refresh" with a new bumper....I'm ok with the headlights and the rest of the exterior....
Thank you Mr. Santiago for your comment. Yes, i hope Hyundai have bigger plans with its design maybe just like Lexus did. Thank you for tuning in!
The front design actually grew on me somewhat.
wow, yes. it does need some time. Hyundai will roll out brand new Hyundai Elantra early next year. Thank you for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Happy New Year.
How about review elantra sport?
We are trying to get a hold of Sport. We will do when we get a chance. Thank you
Best car.
Glad you like it. Thanks for tuning in.
2018 model much much better than 2019
Yes, many miss the old design. Thank you Tushar
I like the 2018 Elantra better.
But I understand an all new Elantra is coming out soon
Yes, many miss the old design. Thank you Doug.
Front design...superior to Camry. Also most other Toyota models.
Wow. That is something new. Thanks for your comment.
Very bad
Toyota is known to be driven by people with no personality lol. Although Toyota's are way better quality wise.
Like to front design, and it look like Tesla.
Could you make a video of the sport version?
Welcome Kapui. Trying to get hold of a testcar. We will try harder. We are editing Veloster N. So please do watch it when it comes out next week. Thank you.
I do NOT like front grill and headlamp designs on the 2019 Elantra. Go back to 2018!
Thanks Kenneth for tuning in! And yes many miss old design.
what color should i get? grey, platinum or star gaze blue
Grey looks okay, but how about blue? Thanks.
elantra of course
Hi Imam. Yes, Elantra. Called Avante in Korea. Thank you
I don’t know why hyundai is ruining this master peice day by day
Yes, many miss the 2017 design. Thanks for tuning in.
Wow he really test the hack of these cars lol.
Please I have avante ad 2019 private gasoline 1.6 smart auto facelift but check light appears for me and after examination I found code P0867F0 can you tell me how to fix it?
Thank you
Thank you, sir!
but the malaysian version is ripped out most of the vital safety features.
Front looks OK
Thank you for watching.
What car do you recommend, Kia forte or Elantra 2019?
I would choose Elantra for handling and choose Forte for exterior design. Except those they are very similar car. Thank you Francisco.
@@AsianPetrolhead Thanks Charlie, greetings from Monterrey México.
Kia Forte hands down!
So what is the verdict?
Efficient engine and great CVT, but controversial front look. That's my short verdict. Thank you
Ouuuuuuuch!!!!
Thank you~~~
That didn't shift like a CVT
Yes, it shifts just like a regular automatic
Saw it in person, somehow they made this ugly in an age of dying sedan sales.
Well, like other makers maybe Hyundai is trying too hard.
Somehow you look like a f****** TWRP from 1964.... you stupid in sophisticated waste of skin you have no idea what modern age even is
MPI is more efficient than GDI?
Hi Doug. Well, yes for this case, they are using dual MPIs per cylinder.
@@AsianPetrolhead ...
What's your name?
Oh. It's Charlie. Hi Charlie.
How's the under thigh support? I'm just a bit taller than you.
Well, it not extra long. And it has no extention. So if you are taller than me, you might find the thigh cushion a bit short. To be honest, i find seats from Tucson more comfortable. Thanks.
I had a 2007 Kia spectra. Car was great, very reliable and drove fine. But seat was too short for comfort. 1st thing I noticed when I sat in my 17 Elantra was a longer seat. I'm a little over 6.1. Much improved over the other seat. I'm comfortable now, though an extra half to one inch more would be perfect. But as is, I'm fine. I did mention the seat in an online review for Kia. Hyundai listened. I just turned 40.000 miles in the Elantra, been completely flawless. Very happy with it.
The new front doesn't look as good as the previous one unfortunately.... Great video though!!!
Yes, i know. Why change the good stuff. Thank you Big Bert for tuning in.
I bough a unlimited 2019 Elentra in Canada an iit didn't came with memory seats , did I just got ripped off ?
Well, i wouldn’t say ripped off. Companies give out different options at different price point. In Korea, we are offered it on the top trim. Thank you for tuning in.
@@AsianPetrolhead okay thanks cause mine don't even have back vents
Really? That is odd.
@@AsianPetrolhead very I bought it thinking it will be like in your video .. no back vents no memory seats .. it have heated steering heated front an back seats
@@AsianPetrolhead I'm gonna call an inquire with hyundai directly
I saw this on the road earlier...and I puke instantly...was sent to the Kia showroom immediately and was attended by Cerato... felt good immediately and was discharge!
Thank you David. For sharing your story.
Asian Petrolhead - where was this test-drive done?
Hi Bryan. It was taken in Paju, which is about an hour drive from Seoul, Korea. Thanks for tuning in.
@@AsianPetrolhead Coolio. Your reviews are very well done. Not only are Hyundai and Kia making the best rigs out there (to be honest, I also love Nissan's) but the best review of the 2019 Hyundai Elantra is also done from South Korea. Thank you, Asian Petrolhead, for your great review of this '19 Elantra. I really like the detail you pour in to your reviews, right down to punching "the upper part of the 'H' Hyundai symbol on the back of the trunk to get easy, one-touch entry into the trunk!" It seems like the American drivers and reviewers are much too stoned on power in automobiles. It's really goofy ta be like that, because so many of our roads don't have room on them to speed! No kidding! Americans are so drunk on NASCAR that they think the 2017-19 Nissan Sentra NISMO's 188 hp is not enough. They put the car down like Nissan failed in making that car because it doesn't have enough horsepower, when really, Nissan themselves says they purposely built the car with a mix of power and driveability and versatility. IOW's - the Nissan Sentra NISMO came out exactly how Nissan wanted it to come out, but, goofy American consumers can't stop putting the car down. DUMB WITH CAPITAL LETTERS. American consumers want big rigs.
Not me. The '19 Hyundai Elantra's dimensions and power look just right ta me, man. Good job on your review. I will watch it again, because, it tops all the other reviews on the car coming from this side of the pond by about 60%! The design up front looks better each time I look at it, and the car looks really impressive in person. It looks great in pictures but much better in person.
👍🏻
Thank you.
Asian Petrolhead pardons🌹
0-100 in 10 sec? i am hitting 8 sec in my civic rs this is one slow car
Well. There is GT version. That would be much faster. 6-7 seconds.
Bye bye toyota! Soon to be a new buyer of Hyundai, Kia or Genesis that offers best warranty on the market. However I don't like huge plastic on them. Go go Hyundai and KPOp
Thank you 최Boyoung Park for tuning in & supporting!
That "Car Confections" music sounds absolutely horrible in the background
Thank you Silent Refusal, i will make a note of that. Thank you
@@AsianPetrolhead sorry if I sounded too harsh.
Now coming back to the reviews, can you please do a comparison video of 2019 Elantra against Kia Forte (Cerato)? And Tucson against Sportage?? Is that possible?
