I honestly love when Chris is part of your reviews, he just adds a nice touch.

Big fan of the videos with regular and substitute topher. Those feel a lot more natural to me than just Topher driving and talking to himself
i know solo POV style is your thing but these recent collabs with SubToph are awesome! also whens next twitch stream?
One of the most economic fuel cars I've ever seen in my life
even the elantra n line has good fuel economy haha which is surprising
Mitsubishi mirage (g4) exists but it trades too much for being slightly cheaper and more durable
That’s amazing to hear. Just bought it today. My first ever car was a Hyundai ELANTRA end it lasted for 15 years. It was already six years old when I bought it used. They are great cars.
How would you compare it to a corolla?
@@ammarisrar2005to me they are much nicer than the Corolla and I enjoy my Elantra so much
I was just driving a 2023 Elantra Essential (base model) and I really like them. It’s comfortable, I LOVE how the turn signals feel. I did 150 mi trip with cruise control set at 75 mph and according to the car I averaged 49.5 mpg.
The 2.0L and CVT are honestly a good pairing. I like how responsive the CVT is. I personally like it more than the new Civic and Sentra. Although i think the Jetta and Mazda 3 are nicer to drive.
Another thing that I love about this car is the ambient lighting (which we didn't get a chance to see). Just adds that extra bit of drama/style a person looks for.
Another pleasant, informative review. Thanks, Chris-s
Great video! It's nice to see the hyundai elantra with an easy access to struts replacement without removing the top wiper panel.
I like when the two of you get together for a review. A little banter goes a long way. I smiled when you said Hyundai & reliability in the same sentence. I laughed out loud when passangers get annoyed having to hold the window button up or down for 3.4 seconds. How far have we come. I have a 03 F150 we keep around for whatever. Getting is inspected for smog a few weeks ago. I apologize to the technician for having to manually roll down the window. He laughed and said it probably will never break. I vet he right.
Had mine since February 2023 bought it kind of spontaneously was looking for a cross over but went with this love the bose sound system and the MPG great little commuter
Omg me too! I Iove my car got a limited trim at a very good price.
You guys are so chill. Great review as always Topher & subTopher ;)
Right?? I wish Joe from raitis rides was more like this. Seems like he's always yelling for no reason.
@@porfiriato84Hahaah but he’s alsl fun as hell
@@user-id6wr1bu3i ehh hes okay. He needs new jokes bc he's been using the same ones for 2 years. But I respect his grind.
the mode button on the steering wheel is the home button as well. also, if you go into the setting, you are able to change the dash
I own a 2023 N-Line Canadian Model, great car with a decent amount of performance and very luxurious for its price!
I have the 23 Elantra N and I agree with that white normal drive mode cluster. I set it so that any mode I’m in has the eco blacked out gauges. It’s so much easier to look at, but I use N custom most of the time anyway haha
Guys you can go into settings and change the theme of the clusters so you can avoid the white all together
Hi guys! You can change gauge clusters to 4 different styles. Which stay on all the time until you change it. It’s under Vehicle information I believe and it’s listed as A, B, C,D. I like the blue one that shows speed and Rpm In digital format in blue color.
Re transmission options at 5:40: The N comes with an 8 speed, dual wet clutch auto shifted manual transmission with shifts so crisp, it will realign your spine. The Hybrid comes with a 6 speed, dual dry clutch auto shifted manual transmission which is somewhat more sedate and civilized, but still vastly superior to a continuously variable transmission.
I have a 2021 Hyundai Elantra and I’m loving it
Great video guys.
I have this exact one, my last was the 2018 and I love the new taillights. At night it’s a thin sleek line .
Insane Elantra !! ❤❤
You're able to change from the standard white gauges without changing drive modes. It's under cluster settings if i remember correctly.
That cluster can be changed permanently so the different drive modes doesn't change its appearance I made it to where the sport gauges are permanent on all 3 drive modes in the system settings
you actually can change the gauges manually if you go into the dashboard settings and choose Theme Selection. In addition to the white/sport gauges there is a dark theme and a digital theme. (I own one of these)
So you can have the car in smart mode but set the dash to operate in Sport mode theme?
@@seanpark3106 yeah there’s an option to match gauges to drive mode. If you choose any of the 4 themes manually the drive mode will not change it.
@@Mtnfew wow that's awesome you can do that. I appreciate the info 👍👍🙂🙂
Was just coming on here to share the same thing. Hyundai/Kia allow you to separate the gauge display from the drive mode and keep it fixed on one of the options all the time.
@@BrandonG8Manamazing I’m buying this car tomorrow and now I’m getting excited 😂
I’ve owned a 22 Elantra SEL for about 11 months now. Bought it brand new with only 10 miles on it and we just put 32,000 on it a few days ago. It’s been great and for some reason…getting better. 2 days ago We finished a 308 mile trip, cruise set between 72-78 averaging…🥁…46.6 miles a gallon. From a non hybrid. For the first few month of owning it we could only get like 41mpg but it’s fantastic for a car advertised at 40mpg on highway.
Really great car in my opinion.... Thought my Caribbean roads were bad but damn those Michigan roads are shocking 😬
You can certainly change the dash display settings. You can choose from the three different options to remain on whichever drive mode you're in.
20:30 Glorious harmonization.
The Elantra Bose audio system comes with noise filtering set to medium; if you turn this off in the preferences section, you'll get considerably improved audio response. I have a $2,000 home theatre audio system in my living room, and the Bose audio system in the Elantra sounds as good or better. I often find myself just sitting in the car, just so I can listen to it. When you turn the noise filtering off, it's really much better.
You call it opening the trunk, I call it an active spoiler. We are not the same.
I can't wait for you to review the 2024 G70 with the updated engine.
A review for the 2023 Elantra N Line would be great!
Love this Car ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love this car ❤
you can change the default gauges thru the settings, i never have the white ones on.
I have this car in the red also. Love everything about it! I traded my '21 elantra limited for the red '23 limited!.
If the LTD is like the LTD hybrid I have, you can go into the vehicle settings and change the cluster to something better, with lighter (almost white) markings / numbers on a darker background. Still not optimal with the neon blue pointers but better than the default scheme which has horrible visual contrast with thin black typeface on a silver-ish background.
You can change the look of the default gage cluster actually in the setting ;)
Re hybrid fuel economy at 3:00 : I regularly get 56 miles per US gallon at 70 MPH in my 2023 Elantra Hybrid. The 0 - 60 time in the Hybrid is 8.4 seconds, which is faster than the non hybrid variant (and many 1970's era musclecars); and the handling is also superior due to the fully independent rear suspension, which the non hybrid variant lacks. The Hybrid version is definitely a great combination of acceleration, handling, and fuel economy.
look up comment higher: non hybrid get 49.5 mpg on 75 mph. Difference not a big. I can understand choice hybrid becouse it has independent suspension, but not for economy when it cost more 2k dollars... By the side, hybrid version has problem then, after ~8 years... You need SG (Hybrid Starter Generator) Belt Replacement after 108000 km of 48 month... Then battery... DCT clutches...
You can manually change the gauge in the settings.
Just bought one but still waiting for it to come 😢
Hello from the Dominican Republic, the best country. Impresive car, all power, good video!!
Many people are unaware of this - the base Elantra is one of the lightest cars on the market! And add the well-tuned IVT, it became the fastest car in the low $20k.
Might be a good video to compare the Kia Forte GT to the Elantra N-Line
I have an SEL Convience and I honstly feel like the bose system doesn't add too much besides that little sub in the trunk. The base system sounds pretty good and it gets loud enough to shake the windows if you crank it!
good review. So between this elantra limited and toyota Prius SE, which one do you recommend more since price is so close.
would like to see the n-line review please your are the best
The Elantra engine bay looks almost just like my Venue's. Looks like a great car.
Dream car right here 😭💕
does it have ambient lighting that comes standard? i heard the limited trim has it.
You can change gage cluster in settings thru radio
You can always choose a digital cluster to be standard I have the blue digital cluster on my Elantra! Proud Owner of a Elantra Limited and Ioniq 5
What i don't like is the passenger seat side bar that extends up the left side shift area console. That would be if your sitting in the passenger seat on the left side. It feels very restricting and they should have left that out to open it up more. It's like sitting in an airplane seat.
I Personal own a 2023ELANTRA SEL convenience package and I was gonna let you know you can change the gauge cluster in the settings
Thank you so much. Your explanation was perfect for my 2022 Hyundai Venue. Marianne 😊
I’m pretty sure you can change the color of the speedometer without changing the mode.
IT IS SO COOL
Nice big car, i can imagine go inside and see i can fit in
Dunno about this particular car, but in 2022 Kona you actually CAN get rid of white gauges, they are configurable.
I never knew the Elantra had a CVT transmission, but I think Hyundai does a great job with this CVT transmission. Same transmission that's in my Venue, and it's very responsive.
I was wary before my test drive coming from a 6 cyl, but when merging onto the highway I didn't even think about the acceleration, it was just there when I needed it! Hyundai has some surprisingly zippy little cars now.
you can change the gauge cluster
Yes! There is a checkbox which can be unchecked so the gauges are not linked to the drive modes. This way you can use sports mode gauge for normal mode.
On the 23 limited like mine it’s changed through the infotainment screen. Has a cube mode and black face gauge
bro , this might not be a popular request , but if you could , can you try the geely coolray ?
I really like this car but the one thing I don't like is the steering wheel spokes. I mostly drive with my hands on 8 and 4 but this seems impossible or really uncomfortable on these newer hyundai steering wheels. It seems that it's only meant for 9 and 3. Has anyone tried driving with these new steering wheels with their hands on 8 and 4?
I've had this car since 2021 and I really love it. And so do all of my friends. They always seem to complement how spatious it is and the ride quality is very smooth. I know it's not fast in a straight line but I've noticed that it handles like a dream and you can definitely have fun with it. It's my first car and I couldn't have asked for a better one
Review the 2023 n line! 🙏. This limited and civic hatch are the cars in torn between.
I get 39 mpg going 90 on the highway for extended periods of time and 45 going 75
A lot of people don't seem to realise but you use the gear select mode when you're going down hill for more engine breaking 👍🏻
Also a Sonata N line is 35k! not 27!!
in USA and korea, they get 360 degree view camera, blind spot camera on your gauge cluster when u put on turn signals, front parking sensors, and im pretty sure a few more
canada sadly does not get them.
No, USA doesn't get it. Korea does. I do wish we got the limited for the 2024 in Canada as the luxury is missing so many features which is unbelievable
Nooo KIA did not ditch the manual on the Forte GT! They have always had the 147-hp 2.0L NA 4-cyl IVT on the GT-line *AND* the 201-hp 1.6T 4-cyl DCT/6spd-manual :) GT still gets the manual, on the contrary to what Chris said at around 5:30
Naturally aspirated? That’s pretty interesting. Most 4 cylinders these days have turbos.
I find it so weird that every car doesn’t just come with auto up/down windows for all windows. My 2008 Passat has that.
Some ppl don't even want it, I never cared for them much
@@tempestsquall5882 why not? I can just not use it if I want to. The switch is two stage. I think it's awesome for when you get in your car in the hot summer and just roll all down. But I just use my key to do that before I get in.
@@Addison0526 sometimes it can be a bit annoying if I can't catch my window from going down further then I want, my E39 has two stage activation which makes it better but I still say it's one of those things I can live without, like fully telescoping wheels and what not.
6:50 Hyundai has been doing that since 2010! Or maybe even earlier. My old '11 Sonata had the same.
My 2005 Sonata had the same 😂😂😂
my 13 elantra had that
I think it'd be good if could tell weaknesses
I just bought a 2024 Elantra Limited today 🤍
I'd love to see you review the new Impreza RS or the 2024 crosstrek sport.
Impreza RS! th-cam.com/video/BDNTFimr868/w-d-xo.html
Should be getting into a 2024 Crosstrek soon...would recommend that over the RS
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates it when automakers place their trunk release button somewhere ludicriously out of view to "integrate" it into the design. Try to find it on a 2015-present Charger. It took me nearly FIVE minutes to find that stupid thing. My lord.
Recently rented a Charger for a road trip and this is 100% accurate
That centre piece with handle was one of the dealbreakers for us and we chose to go with Honda Civic.
That interior design language feels reminiscent of Mazda, but mazda is more minimalistic
I went for the Elantra Hybrid Limited. For the tech features it was way more bang for your buck compared to the Sonata
Have mine set to blue. Keep pushing the screen, lol. 😊
I love the elantra❤
This or the new Honda Accord touring?
Can this guy change the music track?
bro sounded like patrick bateman 0:15 💀
Driving my 2018 Civic on country roads going going over 50 I got 43 miles to the gallon
what's the weird crackling sound when you are driving on at 14:50 on the bumpy road ?
If i had to guess it’s the salt or rocks in the wheel wells kicking up from the tires
The song ?
2024 gets a facelift will you review it?
I have an Elantra 2023 hybrid it gets between 55 and 60 miles per the gallon.
Not sure if you’ll see this but I’m thinking about getting one in the next couple of days. How do you like it?
Re justifying higher trim levels: get the Hybrid, and over the lifespan of the vehicle you'll save back 15 grand or more in fuel costs. That's way more than the difference from the cheapest Elantra to the top of the line Elantra Hybrid. You get your cake, and eat it too; you get to enjoy the very top trim level, but over 15 years your total out of pocket cost is less than if you'd opted for a bare bones, non hybrid Elantra. And the improved performance and handling is just icing on the cake.
Is there a Elantra Limited without leather Seats?
Yeah that’s basically the N-Line
No chance man. Anything Hyundai/Kia has a target on its back. I wish that wasn't the case because I really wanted the Elantra N but they've failed massively.
What do you mean
All of the new models do not have the theft issue. Any older ones from 2014 onward with a push button start are also unaffected. And even then, thieves will not care even if you buy a different car. I've seen brand new Audis broken into. 🤷♂
What are you talking about?
@@trashrabbit69 last I got my carserviced Hyundai is having their dealers install a new anti theft system. Maybe that’ll help the issue.
@@xxxaiten8129 It's been sloppy for some models. There's some software updates for newer models which will help increase security, others have simply been recommended the Club for their steering wheel.
What's the best economy car on ge market?
If you're looking for a hatchback or sedan, then probably the 2022 Civic e:HEV hybrid
Corolla hybrid
Have a 2021 SEL premium LOVE it!
Nice hyundai
I'm surprised this weighs the same as GR86.
I love the Elantra but what kept me away is the fact that leather is only available on the limited. Sel w convenience is the sweet spot in the lineup but it has Hyundais awful cloth at least give leatherette. I do appreciate the ambient lighting and the grey interior w the grey wool like material offered on the limited
If only the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic looked that good and had as much modern tech and futuristic styling as the Elantra.
See, I wonder if the Japanese even care about competition like this if they’re supposedly not as reliable as them.
Maybe they know they’re running on reputation then.
@@faheemabbas3965 id rather have a more reliable car than deal with shitty dealers and questionable reliabilty for the sake of more gimmicks
@@ShaiyanHossain my last Toyota, which was a 2016 Corolla, getting any Toyota dealership to honor warranty work was like pulling teeth. Toyota's customer service was an absolute joke, and I even had to sue to get them to buy the car back. That was my third and final Toyota. Plus, they were never as refined as my other vehicles from different brands. And their interiors got cheaper and cheaper the newer they were
@@ShaiyanHossain and to add insult injury, every Toyota lacked several standard features that I get on my Kia and my Fords and the one Mazda I had in the past
I’d take either of those cars over this
There's a lot to like here but I wish it were less swoopy (thus having more glass and better visibility.)
That's really my only complaint. I really like the dash layout and interior design..
It's definitely not the same fuel economy as the hybrid, but good
