- FIRST LOOK: The Elantra N gets some big changes for 2024 from Hyundai. This is the first public sighting of Performance Blue on the refreshed N sedan. On the outside you will find an all new front fascia, lighting wheels and rear bumper. On the inside you will be greeted by the N performance seats, and (2) 10.25in screens. Powering the Elantra N is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 bolted to an 8-speed DCT. Is the 2024 Hyundai Elantra N a BETTER performance sedan than a Subaru WRX GT?

Your videos are the reason I purchased my last car and probably my next car. You deserve the sales mans commission lol
I’m just glad I can share my car passim with you
@@RaitisRides i have been watching your videos for so long. You do such a great review. Thanks 👍
I love the Hyundai Elantra N I think this is a dandy of a car.
You have good taste Luis
@@RaitisRides Sure I do
I agree they are great cars for the money a super fun to drive.
@@ReidsRides777 Yup
Definitely looks better than a WRX.
What doesn't tho
Agreed, Subaru did a bad job on that car lol
@ayyubjackson1769 the new Honda Accord 😂😂
@@ayyubjackson your car
It's not that much of a looker either, though. 2020s cars just look bad across the board... probably influenced by EVs and SUVs. i wish we kept the 2010s design language.
Thanks Joe and Lori! I’ve been waiting for this one, put down my deposit with the dealer 2 months ago. Great job as always, thank you for your hard work!
That’s so awesome! I’m glad that I can bring it to you!
Bringing us the goodies. Thanks Mr. & Mrs. Raiti!
You are so very welcome Marcus!
Luv all your videos, bro. keep em coming
I import Hyundai Elantra N (Avante N) DCT 2024 Full Options from South Korea to Saudi Arabia and it cost me with shipping, tax and customs about 31k USD 😍😍 It's a really great car.
nice
That is fantastic!
It sure is!
Import me those Stilo Venti Trophy helmets they gonna have now 😊😊
ورنا يبوعمر
Yes! You finally looked at the Elantra N. My all time favorite now since you went into details
Thanks for all your hard work this week!
You got it my friend!
These two are the hardest working reviewers on TH-cam. thanks for another great review Joe and Lori
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
They barely make the N models, they could easily sell twice the number they produce
They are really on to something for sure!
I think it's because most of them are built in Korea on the same line as the Genesis models. They weren't meant to be mass produced either.
you’d be surprised. many still go for the wrx or the type r, won’t give hyundai a try. I love my veloster N.
@@romanborris7919because of their notorious engine and electrical issues especially your veloster n. Those concerns alone are enough to steer people away from hyundai
Took me forever to get my elantra n
Great update the front end is much more defined now. I wish the Veloster was still a thing.
EU gets the I30N but we get this. Both are awesome but I think the I30N hatch is discontinued as of this year but maybe it’ll come back?
I’d love to see this out on the roads.
Love the videos man keep it up!🔥😎
Mr. And Mrs Raiti you are an absolute American Treasure! Thank you for superior automotive content you provide
That car really shot up in price! It was $32,900 in 2023, now it’s like $5000 more? Damn them! 😂
yeah I got my 23 for 31500, it was discounted heavily tho
Yes this is no longer on the list. A GTI with a tune and pocket some cash if you want a FWD car.
I'm pretty sure thats for the dct model the 6MT might be around $33k - $34k
@@DM72513 a GTI cost more than this lmao
Just cause they've spread the word that the car is crazy good, so now they can afford to charge more.
Thank you so much for doing this review . This is literally my dream car rn cause it's the best performance for your buck🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for all your hard work, JOE & LORI 👌
That is so wonderful of you to say!
I agree 100% 👍
I am liking the Performance Blue, but I think I might go with white! So excited to get one soon!
These cars look so great, I currently have a 2022 Kona N that has been an absolute *joy* of a car to own for the last 2 years. I'll be trading it in on something else towards the end of this year when the miles start getting higher. Every time I see these 24 Elantra Ns, it makes me want to get one. However, I'd really like to get back into AWD and a faster vehicle, something like an M240i or RS3... Or, save money and still be mostly happy with another N car. Decisions. At least we have some truly fantastic options to decide on these days!
Hey Joe. Thanks for all you do.
That means the world David!
We are about to drive OUR 2022 Elantra N from Delaware to Florida! Thr car is great for most all conditions (except snow on summer tires)
never thought I would like a Hyundai but I really enjoy my 23 N!
That is so fantastic to hear Wes!
I too never thought I'd ever step into one until I sold my e36 m3. I then learned that former ///M boss moved over and made these cars a blast! I test drove all 3 N cars that are available to US and the Veloster N was my favorite. The Kona N my friend has and it's a hoot too.
Same here, I was looking at the Type R and the Golf R, but the 23 EN just had me hooked from the moment I sat in the seats and started it up.
luv my 22 DCT
I have a 2023 Elantra N DCT and they are great and the sound from that exhaust is amazing!
New N looks so good! The front of the pre face lift was probably the only part I didn’t really like that much on the older one. Sweet ride!
Love that front, it looks like a throwback to the 90s, old skylines and toyotas; those flat rectangualr grills and headlamps
Hi Mr.Raiti! One question, which color do you prefer in this car? Thank you!
When I saw you laughing and screaming on throttle in your ‘22 review I went out and bought one. Very fun car!
Great review ! Over a WRX absolutely outside of living in Colorado & need that awd the EN destroys the wrx and even outgoing 21 STI from a roll & and DIG! Which is insane. As for a type R , the R just has more give & pull but the mark up these days on them are INSANE. I would have LOVED if they put the 2.5 turbo in the new EN & just called it a 2d Gen as the CEO did mention that the same 2.5 in the Cruz would fit…..still holding on to my 22VN DCT till 5N preorder comes witch god knows when 😅
The sharp cuts into the body panels (front, sides, and rear) does a great job creating the overall aero dynamics. The performance blue with red outline incorporated into the calipers is a very good look. The interior looks very nice for the price point. I Hope Raiti gets to provide feedback on the driving experience. Other than that this seems to be a solid ride!!
Thank always Joe for the nice stuff. Listen to this man, I live in Dubai. cars here are 20-30% more expensive than the US. The EN is for 44k the WRX gt WITHOUT the Recaros is for 51k. Anyway...
Im waiting for the EN 24 to try to even get it or get the WRX 23 (zero milage) for 46k 😅
One of my problems with the Elantras is that ALL the cabs here in Dubai are even Elantra or Camry or Sonata. When i look into the EN or ride it i see myself in a taxi.
Here there are no hills nor snow nor rain so i dont really need the AWD. But i guess im gonna get the WRX anyway. Dont know what you'd do if you were in my place
Just get a N specific color so it stands out
Absolutely gorgeous and head turning ❤❤❤
Keep the N’s coming Hyundai!!! I’m an owner of a 22 veloster N it’s so much fun I love that car so much!
I have had this one for last 2+ years and beat the crap out it. Still performs like day one after 17k miles. Its a 6 speed manual which is great. Love every bit of it, 0 compaints and 0 issues. Only thing is mpgs in mid 20s in todays world when even suvs get 30s due to hybrid tech.
I got my VN and love it too at 15k, about to go autoX a hell lot this season
40k miles on my 2022 Kona N. I've beat the absolute crap out of mine as well. Literal non-stop abuse for the last 2 years. Haven't had one single issue, been the best car I've ever owned, and just such a pleasure to drive. I've enjoyed it more than my heads/cam Camaro, LS2 GTO, 3.0t Supra, ~560hp Q50, etc. The N cars are absolute gems.
wait til you hate 80k-100k that's when the list of issues are going to start piling up
I’m at 30k and it’s currently been at the dealer for the past 2 weeks. They ordered a new ECM but that didn’t fix the issue. Last I heard 2 days ago, the service advisor said they have no idea what’s wrong with it and are still trying to figure it out. About 4 months ago, the clutch cylinder needed to be replaced.
@@radioguy801which clutch cylinder? Master or slave?
I was at the auto show today if only I saw you lol
I'd definitely get one of these. Wish they still made the Veloster version.
I noticed something on the tire, when Joe was looking at the wheels. After the Pilot Sport 4s, there's a HN on the tire.
I wonder if this is a specially developed version of the Pilot Sport 4s tire, specifically for the Hyundai Elantra N?
(Similar to how BMW uses a Star or Audi has "AO" on the tires of their vehicles)
I recently rented a hyundai for a month and I was completely shocked by how good of a car it was and it makes all the right noises really fun
That's some hard work men right here!
Amazing ❤I really wanted this car instead my 2023 Kia forte gt line,but u get more space and comfort on the forte .
You know whats funny about your comment? Its that ur wrong bro 😊
Elantra N has more interior space than a forte
I'm getting one for Laguna Seca track days. Triple
Very smart updates, and the sunroof is the icing on the performance 🎂. Hearing the exhaust thunder with the sunroof open must be insane.
I can vouche, it sounds great with that and the windows down. Not just volume, but it seriously is one of the best sounding 4 cylinders ever made.. idk how they did it. The tone is an evolving symphony as the rpms run towards redline
The exhaust is one of the best parts of this car. the sound is amazing. I drive a 23 N DCT. fun car
22 VN DCT is my weekend stress buster.
I love my 2023 DCT. I will say the braking performance is fantastic. As a former FK8 Type R owner your not missing anything not having the brembos.
I have the same car a 2023 DCT and they use the Sonata brakes which are much bigger on the N. they do the job.
Love the look of this car overall.👌🏼
"TO THE DOOR PANELS"...😉
Heck yeah Paul! That is how we roll!
What is that circle on the left of the gauge cluster, he called it a Death Star
Hi Joe! Are you going there today? I’m going today!
I’m first on the waitlist I hope this comes to the west coast soon!
I sure hope so as well!
Late April I believe
should be there now on the west coast. we have them on the east coast now the 2024 N
The car looks great. It has amazing performance for the price too.
Great review Joe! It's a great car (I've driven the '23), but for daily driver, I'd go with the Golf R in a really close call. AWD and a hatch with all that HP is just too good . Yes, I know it's more $, but isn't that how it always works with our subjective desires!
It is always nice to have options that is for sure!
We have performance blue stitching on our door panels in Australia Elantra Ns
I'm pissed off that I recently purchased a 2023. I couldn't wait for the 2024 because I totaled my 17 elantra on some black ice
23s look good too, this is just a refresh of the bumpers
I can understand how you feel but you still have a great car!
Don't forget wheels, grill, and headlights.
@@RaitisRidesfrom the few i saw that are actually out, those wheels dont come standard.
@@Subzero_N Really? Boooo. I like my rims but they woukd be better black with my cyber gray exterior
Let’s get it Joe!!!
Definitely will be my next car💯💯
That’s really awesome!
Short answer yes. In performance value absolutely.
Wish the veloster was still around
This is so very true!
Agreed 100%... I still think the Veloster N in black is so mean looking.
Yea haha. Mine is for sale. Trying to make room for one of these
love those wheels. If I ever went for a sedan over a hot hatch I'd 100% reach for an Elantra N . The price increase is disappointing and I feel like its verging into territory where you can get a better performance car for the money but its still not the worst and worth a thought.
I have questions. If I buy a set of brake pads at autozone or orelliy, would I get the N brake pads? Are the N brake pads and regular car brake pads the same? Are the N brake pads only sold at a Hyundai dealership?
Cant go wrong with getting OE but most ceramic pads are more than enough
Buying one!
Dont ever stop making videos
Wheels look much better with this one.
i love the wheels on my 2022 elantra n and prefer the design but the 2024 still looks sweet
OG Wheels are beautiful, New wheels are sportier.
I 100% agree with you they are much better and forged 8lbs lighter per wheel. I like the way they now show the red calipers almost floating when going down the road.
As a 22 EN owner, you're so right about that thing on the left of the dash being the stupidest thing they could put there. I haven't figured what to do with it but it's so annoying.
Have you checked to see if it's magnetic and maybe a spot to mount a phone? That's what I heard someone else say 🤷
they do not know either.
Definitely looks better than a WRX and ive been a hardcore subaru fan since 2000. I had the opportunity to drive an Elantra N DCT last summer at a autocross and i was very very impressed. I would buy one
Hey Joe what's the address to it it's complicated and will you be there all these days? I think we going one of these days
In Australia we have the option of getting both the manual and dct with and without a sunroof.
That is so fantastic to hear!
that is good in the USA the auto comes with sunroof and the 6 speed is no sunroof
Elantra N is an unsung hero!! I love the Cyber Gray slightly over Performance Blue. But it's really close. Way to go Joe.😎
When is that color coming to the us? I’ve seen black a red but no PB
I hate PB. Ever since they came out I thought it was the ugliest color. IMO the grey one doesn't get enough love as it's one of the nicer colors
@@porfiriato84 initially I didn’t like it much but after seeing it in person I love it so freaking much. And the grey does get a lot of love but the economic grey would be so much cooler
@@adamz4737ecotronic* grey. Yeah that one is so nice. But not sure if the US market gets that color.
Best car reviewer on the TH-cams! :)
He is great for sure 👍
Yes. Most definitely
I'm surprised the price jumped that much. I got my 23 for 37k out the door. Definitely going to be in the low 40k out the door with the 24s
Yup. Caused me to jump up to the Type R instead of
@@SIIKAP1 but the markup on the type r though 😵. I haven't seen any for msrp. People paying 60k for them. That's ridiculous.
@@SIIKAP1type R doesn't give you an AT transmission. You can pay less than 38k for the MT elantra N.
@@stefanb974 got it for MSRP. But yeah the markups were crazy before
@@avis1978 I don’t want auto. The manual EN will probably be 37.5k with destination
Where I live I see a lot of them, I have seen exactly one latest model type R, See a few latest model WRXs, Hyundai N is getting numbers on the road.
Well damn. Where I live they're frikin non existent haha.
That is really cool!
Isn't that funny how it works out?
Shouldn't we turn on the emergency light to show how the car blinker turns on? And the light.
I got your back next time!
Definitely wasn’t expecting a 4K price increase and to still have the Death Star 😭
I got a Kia but after seeing these Ns man I want oneeee. It’s beautiful. Shocked it doesn’t have led interior lights. Easy to swap though.
It does have the ambient lighting on the interior. its a strip across the front. i own a 23 EN DCT
Im a fan of the EN, but getting a CTR at MSRP will still be the way to go over this car. Now if only the CTR had the ENs exhaust.....
I think you are so right!
I am trading in my 2023 Elantra N DCT for a 2024 Civic Type R in Championship White, key is getting the Type R at MSRP which you can do now at many places. A fully loaded Elantra N DCT is $37K now. so $10K difference there. and the Type R will hold 90% of its value for the first 3 years, I have seen a $6000 drop on my 23 EN DCT off MSRP
I want one in Black ...
Still waiting to be able to buy one
These were definitely a bargain the last couple years when they were only 32-34k. Now that they are up to around 40k MSRP, there’s no way I’d take this over a Type R.
you are correct and reason I am trading in my EN DCT 2023 for a 2024 Type R, price keeps rising on the EN
Its definitely nice car， If I don’t owned my k5 GT,this car will be my first pick!!
That is so great to hear!
Hyundai sales team trained you well on the pricing pitch. Better than saying msrp is $5k higher than last year's model 😊
It’s weird that the n line has a drive mode selector button in that Death Star spot. I hate that Death Star. I’ve also seen some that have a fingerprint thing. Either give it a function or take it away. I do not get the Death Star circle idea one bit.
Agreed, though in the N, it does make for an excellent phone mount location.
That is the one oddity of my 2023 Elantra N DCT. The N-Line gets the Drive Mode there. Why not just put all drive modes there instead of what they have. I have spoken to representatives of Hyundai and they just can not explain in expect it is for design purposes to balance out the other side????
It’s the best way to go for the money! But if you drive a FL5 you will notice a huge difference in quality! Also you have a huge Community for the the FL5 platform with tons of aftermarket mods easily accessible and found. Elantra Doesn’t really have much..
But Stock for Stock Elantra N wins with the Raw performance.
To add to what you said: Type R aftermarket is extensive (as expected,) but it isn't as easy and cheap as people think. My friend has a Type R, and it's a money pit for performance mods. And don't think for a second that it won't have potential reliability issues at over 400 whp just because It's a Honda.
Type R got good quality, badge prestige/ nostalgia, bigger aftermarket at the extremes, but mod for mod a lot more costly.
DCT EN with just Downpipe, N75 flash tune and meth kit on stock cooling and stock turbo can hang with Fbo big turbo Type R's while being reliable. And the EN costs less to work on!
This is one reason I am getting a 2024 FL5 Type R and trading in my 23 EN DCT with 12K. it dropped 6K in value off of MSRP in 1 1/2 years of ownership and 12K miles. FLK will hold 90% value first 3 years.
I can't believe dealerships near my place are all marking up 7k~10k on 2024 EN now. I'm not sure if they really want to do that... at least WRX isn't marked up still. But Hyundai dealerships are starting to do this, I'm passing it.
No one is paying over MSRP for any cars these days. it is a buyers market and do not pay over MSRP for a EN.
How many Twinkies fit in the glove compartment
What a beautiful car
The blue really works on it!
I agree very nice car and fun to drive
Love this car, unfortunately doesn't meet my requirements (adaptive cruise control is a must) so im gonna wait for the next gen (next 3-4 years) and hopefully the elantra gets the rumoured 2.5L or awd.
Cool. No one asked.
Need the video of the Ioniq 5 N in the background
I just got back from the show. The ioniq 5 N is insane! They also give you an acceleration testdrive
I have the Ionic 5 N in my showroom and it is an amazing car. The orange button on the steering wheel helps you to get to the 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds and the feeling of weightlessness a co worker sold me when driving it. This is the only car we will not test drive. you can test drive it home after you buy it. Its just too fast.
The performance blue looks great in natural lighting. It looks washed out under those lights at the show.
I drive a 23 EN DCT in Performance Blue and it is a very unique color. Hyundai Racing Colors. reason I ordered mine in that color. It stands out when driving and turns heads.
Getting mine next week, can’t wait 💪🏾
What color? Did they tack on mark-ups?
@@porfiriato84 getting it in atlas white and the mark up from last year is about 1.5-2k, mine is 43k msrp Canadian dollars
Congrats!
would u guys recommend me buying this car? as a daily driving car
Yes, I have a 23, will preform the same. Great car
yep it's just a 2.0T, nothing hardcore
Yess 100% Bobby!
I appreciate you sharing that great ownership insight!
Yes. The N cars are fantastic. I've daily'd my 22 Kona N for the last 40k miles and it's been nothing but excellence. There simply aren't better enthusiast vehicles for the price.
6:35 GR Corolla Circuit Edition is ~$45K
Well there is a reason why the Elantra N is winning races. I think that answers everything. Alot of pro drivers have moved from the Type R into the Elantra N. I can't wait for this season of IMSA so they can win again.
Getting this car in 5 - 6 months. Had to be a factory order, ordered today (6 speed manuals don't sit on lots). Negotiated slightly below MSRP. From a 2022 Elantra Essential, manual (was released for Canada) to a 2024 Elantra N, with mud flaps and all season floor maps. She is going to be a joy. Anyone getting this too, dont forget to PPF and Ceramic coat it, in that order 😎
It's crazy that you Canadians have to wait months to get all kinds of different cars.
@porfiriato84 lots of Hyundai models sitting on the lot. Dealers don't get a lot of N's allocated to just sit on the lot. It's the same across North America, not just Canada. Factory orders aren't built in a day
@@thedragon6499I'm well aware how it works. Still, Canadians have to wait longer than the US for a car regardless.
@porfiriato84 I mean, it was simultaneously released at the same time for both markets. Sold out the moment they touch the lots. Majority have to factory order which takes months and there is no proof to back your claim. But I been reading about the N selling way above MSRP in Florida and other states. Must suck a$$
@porfiriato84 Either way, did you order a 6 speed manual N, or just talking for the sake of talking, unlike me who will receive one.
Hyundai dropped the ball on putting performance blue on the door panels and other parts of the car that could have used it. But beautiful looking car 🔥🔥
LOL if Lori let you record everything we would have at least 100 videos by the end of the auto show
The lack of camera on the front grill tells me that it doesn’t have the 360 camera that the Korean spec has… what a shame
Australian version missed out on 360 degree camera and adaptive cruise control , just get normal cruise control
No 360 camera available in the Elantra N.
It’s funny how crappy the handbrake in the EN is compared to the KN.
very much contemplating purchasing one. But everywhere I see they say that they have terrible engines and give out around 25,000 . What do you think about that?
The N car engines are nearly bulletproof. Not many issues with them. I've beat the absolute heck out of mine for 40k miles and have had zero issues whatsoever. 10 year, 100k mile warranty as well.
@@apexcobra.officialthe EN subreddit says otherwise. I've only been on it for a couple months and I'm always seeing people post random issues. Saying it's bulletproof is crazy talk.
Not at all. These are actually some of the strongest engines. It's the lower trim base and NA Hyundai's that you're hearing about with the issues/ recalls.
I have owned a 2023 Elantra N DCT for 1 1/2 years now and no problems at all. I have driven it everyday as a daily driver to work and have 12K miles. The engines are strong in this car.
Just gonna wait for the Kia k4 to purchase
Front looks better to me now
I agree 100% it needed the face life and Hyundai did it
Great refresh, but very disapointed in the increase in price. If the cost is going up, they should have made the top of the doors soft touch.
No awd
The Elantra N is amazing if don't like awd and if you like a ton of wheels spin and torque steer. It's faster than a WRX in a straight line because it's fwd and it's lighter.
It handles better than the wrx. I left a 2022 wrx for a 2022 EN.
Torque steer is fun. FWD is extremely entertaining in this cars, but there is definitely a ton of wheelspin off the line which is the only real downside. I've replaced the front tires on my Kona N 5 times in less than 2 years lol.
you only need to replace the Lower Engine Mount with and EMT Poliurophane one and the wheel hop is gone. cost around 249
Does any one know when they will be officially out for the USA and y they have been pushed for so long
They're already available dude
yes i drive my 2023 N DCT as a daily driver everyday. The different modes you can do make it very easy to do. Its a load of fun to drive too. you will get to work with a smile on your face. 😀
