Gawd Damn! That was totally not expected. I thought the K5 GT would take the Elantra N but not by much. I was wrong. Damn wrong.

Bought the Elantra N in performances blue 4 days ago, satisfied asf. Traded in my K5 Gt-Line, was really looking for the k5 GT but my area and ones around me didn’t have any nor were planning on stocking up on them. Took months and finally a Elantra N showed up, had to snag it since k5 GT is no where. Love it, always drive in N mode and the pops are glorious. K5 looks are unmatched and very unique I’ll miss it but, I was looking for something very close to sports-like. 42k for it unfortunately because of markup but it is what it is, worth it, definitely tuning it in a month or so.
@@WatchesYouAtNight yeah however I’m not gonna go for another 42k car then look at the markup price of 7k for it to be 49-50k it was best I settled with this, satisfied as hell not gonna get a car for exact msrp

The K5 and nline are two annoyingly frustrating cars because one race they will surprise the hell out of you and another race it will surprise the hell out of you.
@@ItsPaulby Exactly. I have a Sonata Nline now but on Monday put a deposit down on an Elantra N which arrives on Dec 12th. The dealership I am dealing with does currently have 2 Kona N's on the lot that I could likely get a bit sooner but they first have to iron out this recall with the DCT which from what I was told only affects about 65 brand new 22 and 23 vechiles with the dct so not many.
I definitely was pulling for the Elantra being a strict Hyundai brand owner. Now I could see myself owning a Kia only because everything about the vehicle is a Hyundai. Engine, metal, tech. Hell even the designer and head performance team are all hired through Hyundai. Currently own a G70 and previously owned a Sonata. I liked my Sonata, but I love my G70. Not sure I can leave Genesis after this car as much as I like the Elantra N.
@@slimv3.162 it’s a sedan it’s supposed to be comfortable lol, my point is the Elantra is a sleeper, whether the N or the the SE it has plenty of space and in sports mode has pretty decent acceleration.
@@allenleroy9109 the elantra n is not designed to be comfortable sedan. It's a performance car and last time I checked performance cars are designed for performance not comfort. The k5 is designed around comfort. Even having said that, I believe the elantra n is a far better value for what you get.
For everyone saying this is a track car. It got beat by a VW GLI on a 8 year old platform with sh*tty hanook tires 2019-2021 and 2021-2022. This car is not worth the price. You want something sporty and fun get the N. You want something mature with great tuning potential get the GLI/GTI/SI. I dont see where this car fits. Unless you are some 18 year old teenage boy that has dreamt of this car since you were 12
The k5 only offers straight line performance, where as the N is built to go around racetracks, they really aren't in the same class at all other than price-wise.
After that first race I started thinking did I make a mistake buying my Elantra N lol? That was much closer than I was anticipating. Great comparison between the Korean cousins. The EN came through with the Ws.
See I felt and feel the oposite becsuse last June I traded my 18 2.0 Accord Sport for the Nline. Every time Sam breaks out the Elantra N I get extremely annoyed with myself for not waiting a year and instead getting the Elantra N. I knew down deep that it was a brash decision. I just wanted out of the Accord so badly. It is tourture every time Sam runs it becsuse it is such a fsntsstic car!
The elantra n is definitely made to be an entry level sports car. The gearint, suspension, steering, its just all around a better car. But the k5 is for a more comfy, driver focused vehicle thats great for a small sized family
The K5 GT\Sonata Nline (with summer tires) should be compared to a Accord 2.0T, Camry TRD, the N should be compared to a Type R, GTI. One car is a sporty mid size sedan, the other is a sport tuned compact sedan that can annoy neighbors and trigger HOA letters . Great Video.
Wow they both seemed to really struggle putting the power down off the line, but as expected the EN was walking the K5 GT on a roll. They both desperately need AWD though to have any consistency on a dig.
Yes. I test drove the Elantra N and the Accord 2.0T. At the end I went for the Accord 2.0T because I got a better deal and its more reliable, but the Elantra N its a superior performing car in all aspects MT or DCT.
What tires are on the cars? Maybe dont launch it and just go so not so much wheel spin. Good comparison video. I like the looks of the K5 but the sound of the N.
As an Elantra N owner I can confirm it launches pretty good while stock. Wheel hop can be an issue. Where she really shines as seen is rolls. The sheer quickness of the Elantra is surprising

Are they using the sport mode at all ?? Or sports plus
Should be using the paddles to really control the get up on that k5 fr
I cant help but look at the grease stain on the drivers headrest of the K5 😅
Great video sam! Why not face off that civic and Elantra N. it would be great race
Elantra N would win unless the Civic is a Type R, then it would be a close fight
@@jmmch3358 Absolutely it would. But there used to be a tuned civic. It was tough competition
@@rashidadat6494 stock vs stock or tuned vs tuned
As an accord 2.0T owner, many props due to the Elantra N. There’s still a hope !
whats crazy, the k5 gt, can blow out an accord 2.0t, a vw jetta gli, and a 5.7 hemi, they raced it against a hemi and it won...
Yes. I test drove the Elantra N and the Accord 2.0T. At the end I went for the Accord 2.0T because I got a better deal and its more reliable, but the Elantra N its a superior performing car in all aspects MT or DCT.
Hyundai (N) vs Kia (GT). 👍🏼😉
Hyundai Elantra N is (🏆🥇).
Thanks this video. 😎
I thought the K5 was equivalent to the sonata....🤔 Always great races!!!!
You are correct. The Elantra is a compact, & the K5 is a mid-size car like the Sonata.
The results would have been the same with a sonata n line…
Anyone know where to buy bumper or parts in General for the Elantra N 2023 other than straight from Hyundai!
Can’t wait to see the Elantra N take on the new CTR
I have both ctr is faster
I would like see comparison to 2023 altima turbo with these two
What tires are on the cars? Maybe dont launch it and just go so not so much wheel spin. Good comparison video. I like the looks of the K5 but the sound of the N.
As an Elantra N owner I can confirm it launches pretty good while stock. Wheel hop can be an issue. Where she really shines as seen is rolls. The sheer quickness of the Elantra is surprising
A relatively inexpensive motor mount solved that issue for a friend almost 100
Same, just put 500 miles on mine
Wouldn’t it be better to race the K5 vs the sonata n-line, that would be a more fair race imo
@sam what’s tires is the k5 sitting on
Can you do one with Lexus iS 300 4 cylinder turbo with a Hyundai Veloster N.?
AWD option for the elantra would be insane
So would the cost
