2022 Hyundai Elantra N One Year Review

One other mod worth considering is get in the trunk and seal up the subwoofer properly.. plug up all the holes and essentially have a airtight parcel shelf to trunk.. bit of silicone and sound deadening foam. The subwoofer sounds heaps better and the stereo sound really good thereafter. Cost you $10 for a tub of silicone and another $20 for sound deadening adhesive. Also throw in a trunk Matt to seal up the air in trunk as well.. subwoofers like a separate air chamber in front and behind the subwoofer.. have a look how many holes are in there. Killing your sound!
Be careful if ur sealing the subwoofer because it should have enough room to pump air back and forth.. otherwise you might break it
Congrats on paying it off so quickly!! Respect
This car it's been so great to me don't regret at all ❤️
So good to hear!!
@@n-power-automotive Hi brother what color do you think carbon fiber materials would look best on. Performance blue or white.
@@samuelsmith9180 I like PB better as a color, so I’d go with that.
@@n-power-automotive thanks.
Same
Ordered a 2024 Elantra N. Can’t wait to drive it in 6-7 months
How did you order it? I didn’t think that was possible yet. Or do you mean you put a deposit down and told the dealer what color/transmission you want?
Yeah same here. I didn't even know it was possible yet to order one, in the US at least.
Thinking about picking this up the baby momma had the regular Elantra and I loved the interior on that
@@demonofjapan if you like the regular Elantra interior you will love the EN’s.
This is a REALLY clean setup...you have excellent taste. Love the color...the red accents have always been tasteful and not overdone from the factory. My fave part are the wheels...black are practical and yes, this does look factory, which is amazing. I actually think this version looks better than the upcoming 2024 front end...just something really futuristic about it...a fan of the lines and silhouette. Keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
I don't like the refresh either. Made the rims look so much worse, and the front end looks like it's trying to be an EV. Bleh
Got mine 4 days ago. except i got a manual because automatics lol. Tinted everything and swapped to LEDs all around. not planning on any other mods. LOVE this car.
Congrats! I got the DCT because faster lol. 😉
@@n-power-automotive faster, easier, better? Manual is really fun, but not for a daily for most people. I personally like paddle shifters the most anyways. I like to pretend I have an LFA 😂
Wheels are SWEET! 1000% better than stock
Thanks!
Awesome review thank you for your honesty .. love the N content keep it up bro! Watch a lot of your videos and others on YT to help decide weather if I should grab one or not. Pulled the triggered this week can't wait to get it.. also on space gray !
Oh wow congrats and thanks so much for the kind words! I hope you have a blast in your new Cyber Gray 😉 Elantra N!!!
@@n-power-automotive That’s a great real world first year review. Congratulations on paying it off.
Can you tell me what CarPlay module did you use for the wireless?
@@eloneatmyshorts a.co/d/j73vDRK
@@n-power-automotive thank you for the link.
Great review, appreciate it. Dont know if i caught it on video, did you have any mechanical issues to date or other maintenance not including oil changes. Thanks
You’re welcome! Zero mechanical issues with mine.
The look is growing on me
It’s a piloting design for sure, but just like everything else in life, the more you see it the more you get used to it.
Would the wheel specs work for a veloster n dct? Which ones do you have btw couldn’t catch it on the video?
I’d assume they would be the same. I’ve seen EN owners running Veloster N performance wheels. Mine are 18x8 +45 Sport Edition A15-2 from Tire Rack.
@@n-power-automotive thanks!! I’m gonna go check that out
How are you getting such a good mpg in city and highway? Im not even at 600 miles yet and my average mpg in city is 18 while freeway is 22.... 23 on a good day. You drive really slow or is this normal on a new engine? I don't floor the throttle btw I just rev up to 3-4k rpms stop and go.
The MPG gets better with time, but you should be getting better than 22 MPG on the highway. Have you checked your tire pressure? Is the highway driving in traffic? I do drive the car conservatively and in ECO a lot of the time, but I also go into N mode on pretty much every trip around town. I also don’t drive much city, more suburban.
@@n-power-automotive Yeah i check tire pressure constantly on the N mode and when I walk around car, nothing seems out of the ordinary. Yeah theres a fair but of traffic when im going to work. I live suburban as well but the traffic is always so packed even on freeways. I also do drive kiiind of aggressive so maybe thats why lol.
@@Duran762 yeah I think I see why now lol
@@n-power-automotive anyway ill give you updates on how my EN 2023 holds up as well!
After 1k Miles you will see changes i had same in my car till i hit 1k of course you have to drive Eco or normal mod N mod not gonna give you 33 mpg on highway congratulations very nice car🔥🔥🔥
Have you had any reliability issues? Anything going wrong with the car that leads to expensive repairs? I want this car so bad lol
I have not. It’s been very reliable for me. I’m just about to hit 23,000 miles.
Where do you get those rims? Nice review, Thanks.
Thanks. They’re from Tire Rack. I have an entire video I made about the wheels on my channel.
Beautiful wheels! Do you have a link to those Kona N-Line caps that fit on the A15-2's?
I don’t have a link because I bought mine 2nd hand, but I have a video on my channel all about the wheels and in it I show the Hyundai packaging with part number so you can Google it.
The wheels look Awesome on the car! Love it.
Thank you!
Saw a video with panel mods to cover the black below the headlights makes it look so much better at the front
I’ve seen those. I’m not really a fan.
Where did you get the white N logo on the sides? I think this looks great and would like to add it to mine!
I have a video all about it on my channel with where I ordered it in the description. It’s from N-Club Canada.
Great review! I've heard that changing the engine mount is an easy way to reduce wheel hop. Did you notice any negatives when it comes to everyday driving?
Thank you! The only side effect is slight vibration at idle, mostly in Normal and ECO mode. It breaks in a little though, so now I barely feel it.
@@n-power-automotiveHow many miles can you do on the Nline
@@ibrahimabah3693 not sure what you mean? This is an N, not an N Line.
@@n-power-automotive Oh sorry I meant N, like how long can you have it for without it having any problems. How long can it last.
@@ibrahimabah3693 dont keep it over 75000 miles lol
how’s the reliability of the EN? Can it handle abuse? of course nothing too crazy, bud i have a heavy foot and i tend to drive fast all the time
I just hit 27,000 miles and it’s never let me down. It’s been very reliable and I do use it like it was built for quite a bit.
Did you notice any additional vibrations with the purple powerflex bushing? Is it bad compared to stock?
Yeah I'm curious
Yes, there are additional vibrations over stock, but it’s very minimal, and it gets less and less as the bushings breaks in. It’s really only noticeable while idling in Normal and ECO mode.
I have a manual EN and fitted purple lower mount bushings, purple gearbox bushings and upper engine mount yellow and honestly I can’t feel any vibrations over stock.. wheelhop is pretty much gone and can launch the car properly. Best of all fully reversible mods. I fitted black upper engine mount for testing and it felt more vibrations.. but purple/yellow combo no issues.
By Continentals do you mean their Extreme Contact 06 Plus DWS? I have those on my BRZ year round and in the snow (WI) and they are amazing; I think we will be rolling out of the BRZ into the 2024 Elantra N when it is released with the DCT
Yes, those are the ones. Absolutely fantastic tires.
I still Have my old Gen 2018 and its still a fun car✅️ These look amazing as well!!!
Hyundai styling has really come a long way in the last decade!
how tight is the bolstering on the back side of the seat? i want this car so much but cant have the back squeezing me because of some back conditions
My biggest gripe is the fuel economy. I drive like a bit of a dick but only sometimes, but my car just stays in the 23 mpg range with not alot of highway driving. Apart from that this thing is great. It just drives so well. Great grip, great steering, great exhaust, great seats, functional interior, just fantastic.
Even in ECO mode? Or do you drive in N mode?
@@TheWhisperingPenis i rarely use eco mode but it doesn't help that much. I drive in normal mostly but short shift manually, and only use N mode a couple times a week for a minute or two. My bigger concern is that the trip computer average mpgs are always mismatched to what I actually do by a different amount in each fillup. It once showed 26 mpg but I actually did 23.5 which was infuriating.
@Nomad624 Yeah, that's my biggest turn off. It seems like a great car honestly, but for maximum fun and efficiency, I just feel like I have to buy a Civic SI. It's not as fast, but every review says you won't even notice with how fun it is. Most reviewers were also getting 36-38mpg in the Civic with mixed driving. That's insane considering it's barely slower than an 86/BRZ
@@Ben-vy1obwhen was the civic si ever mentioned lol
Perhaps you're looking at Accumulated Info rather than Drive Info or Since Refueling info?
Accumulated will be the average across the whole time the car has been on the road or since it was reset.
Just got my EN a week ago, it’s amazing! What brand of oil/oil filter do you use for it? I’m looking and it seems really limited.
What's your climate like?
I use 0W-30 Pennzoil Platinum Euro, but I think I’m going to switch to 5W-30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum for the summer months. I use the OEM oil filter.
@@IzzyEG6 I’m in New Jersey, it’ll get hotter in the summer but typically like 70s and maybe 80’s. Sometimes 90’s but it’s not constant. Winters are cold but not typically below 30 degrees.
@@n-power-automotive okay I hear that. I saw Pennzoil too but it only sold by the liter. Do you just order the filter directly from a Hyundai dealer then?
I'm in Texas and dealer uses either 0-30 or 5-30. N75 recommends 5-40 because how hot these engines run & I think I'll take them up on it...AMSOIL of course
Well done. Looks great
Looking forward to seeing you touching up those stone chips with Dr Colorchip DIY kit
That last payment must havee felt one of two ways very good or very bad... either way good sh#t and more power to you. With all the positive energy my guy i say N JOY !!
Thank you! Definitely a very nice feeling!!
If you learn the left foot breaking or two feet technique(N mode), your seat problem will solved.

Haven’t had mine in over a month now. Hyundai said the DCT failed a Judder test. It was in for a window seal. Can’t wait to have it back.
That stinks. What’s a judder test?
@@n-power-automotive The 8 Speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which might exhibit clutch judder when accelerating from a stop. If the vehicle body vibrates without the steering wheel shuddering when performing creep driving test (driving the vehicle up to 3mph), the vehicle is exhibiting clutch judder. The creep test can be conducted by driving at a speed slower than 5 mph after releasing the brake. In order to remedy clutch judder, the Dual Clutch Assembly must be replaced and the TCU will need to be upgraded. That’s what Hyundai told me.
I think you mean shutter
Wheels are these? They are beautiful!!!
Thanks! They’re Sport Edition A15-2. I have a video on my channel all about them.
Man the more reviews I see of these cars the more I think I might get one when I'm in the market next year.
It’s an amazing car. I just went on a therapy drive and it makes me forget about all the everyday stresses.
@@n-power-automotiveI want that fl5 type R more than any car but if it's still going for mid to low 50s I can't justify it.
@@Alex-ku3nk the FL5 and new ITS are both amazing cars I’m sure, but honestly the DCT is so good in the Elantra N I wouldn’t want a manual again. It’s crazy to say that, but it’s true for me. And the EN is at least $15,000 less than the FL5 and $23,000 less than the ITS. It’s every bit as fun considering the exhaust sound and playful handling.
how long did you wait when you ordered it in to the dealership ?
I actually didn’t order it. I called and got extremely lucky that one was ordered but the person who put the $500 deposit down backed out, so I was able to put a deposit down on it. It was about a week and a half later when the car arrived at the dealership.
@n-power-automotive no way now that pure luck !! I'm waiting for mine been 2 weeks I'm excited !
It looks very sporty and cool👌
How much do these retail for ?
Right around $35,000
I drive a toyota and i never drive in eco mode. Eco mode on toyota it trys to keep the engine rpm around 1500 rpm at all times. When i drive in normal mode and as my engine is around 2500 rpm, if i press the eco button the ecu will upshift the trans and the rpm will drop to 1500 rpm as close as it can be.
Yes, that’s how ECO mode is supposed to work.
@@n-power-automotive i know i just dont like it
Does the catch can and/or the bushings void the warranty?
No, not typically, but some dealerships will look for any reason not to honor a warranty, so if you have any doubts ask your dealership first.
What r your wheels?!?! They r great. Edit Oh nevermind I wasn’t patient enough. Lol
Wow I almost forgot about that old interface w the bulbs for radio lol. I’ve had mine for about a year and a half now. No regrets! Love it. Have to say.. I’m a little disappointed with the MPGs in it. Which is not important to me really, but I had a Sonata N Line before which is heavier with more power and I could get in the 40s on the highway
So you updated your infotainment and the bulb graphics went away, right? Interesting that the SNL would get 40mpg on the highway. I wonder if it’s a combination of gearing, less grippy tires and 87 octane gas? I don’t know. I’m pretty happy with almost mid-30s on the highway in the EN though, especially coming from a gas pig Dodge Charger R/T lol.
@@n-power-automotive yeah they have a much better looking update than the bulbs. I hated those. I always ran it on premium and it has the same 8 speed that the EN has. I have the 6 speed now in the Elantra and I can’t get above 34. 10mpg difference is pretty substantial. Once again not complaining just a crazy difference imo
@@vjdfl5 I have a 23 SNL and I did a road trip of 450 miles and the most mpg I could push was 34.5 mpg.
BUTTTTT I had cruise set to 85-90 the whole trip. Idk if I coulda gotten 40+ by just slowing down 15-20mph. I also run 93 in mine instead of 87.
beautiful wheels, the best I've seen
Thank you!
@@n-power-automotive what wheels are they?
@@nxdro1932 Sport Edition A15-2
Can you please share us the link?
I couldn’t find it online?
@@TheAbhishek2828 they’re Tire Rack brand wheels.
Hey man, Could you please help me out in trying to find a 18 inch wheel and tire setup I love those that you have could u refer me to a link or website where I can find them
They’re from Tire Rack. I have an entire video I made about them on my channel.
If you car is DCT, I just uploaded a video on how to properly octane learn N cars. In the same video I have the second by second section done live on the street, and the short version in the beginning of the video.
Cool, I’ll check it out. I have gotten mine to octane learn a lot, but it’s just not convenient all the time, so half the time I don’t do the highway thing. A tune someday will fix that issue.
Great car I have 22k on mine in 10 months. Hyundai paint is crap due to their environmental regulations.
Looks amazing!
Thank you! 😎
Had my N for 8 months and it's already broken down twice, wish I had other people's luck. Don't drive in the rain, it's the bane of this cars existence....
That’s unfortunate. How does driving in the rain make it break down??? Knock sensor?
@@n-power-automotive Yep, you're spot on. Wish they'd fix the knock sensor issue. I'm glad it doesn't seem to be an issue with every N but people certainly need to be made aware to be wary of heavier rain in this car. I'm hoping they do a recall and fix it.
@@StampedePC dang that’s crazy. I’ve driven through some heavy rain and never had an issue, but I know a lot have. I think all it would take is a simple plastic splash panel put over the sensor. How they didn’t think of that when building the car is beyond me.
What CarPlay dongle do you use?
2022 Carlinkit 3.0 Wireless... www.amazon.com/dp/B08GLVW169?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
How much did you get yours for from the dealer
MSRP
I live .8 miles from my work and my gas mileage is always at 18 because rarely take it on the freeways or highways
Yeah, I can definitely see that being the case. If I were you, I’d drive it at least occasionally on the highway. I’ve heard never getting the car up to temperature and only taking it on short drives is not good for the engine.
Looks great with the murdered out wheels! I’m still crossing my fingers for my SmartStream engine. No tunes for it. Like ECU burners or send in tunes yet. I’m not really into the JB4. A well written ECU tune will without any doubt always beat any piggyback. The theta II 2.0 is a carry over from the AD chassis. The new 1.6t (SmartStream) Gamma II is redesigned differently such as pistons, crank,
longer rods. Cyl Head. VVTi and CVVD workin independently on the cams. So real tuning for power will be more complex on the SmartStream then the Theta-II. It might take a real brainiac to figure the
new 1.6t GSS and make the power the older Gamma 1.6t did tuned. 400+ Hp easy!
Can you list and link the wheels, wheel caps, the engine mount to prevent wheel hop, and the oil catch can pls🥹
I have videos and descriptions of all those parts on my channel. 👍🏻
@@n-power-automotive great, thank you so much
Just cracked 23K and im still fluster'd everytime i start'r up.
Yep. Every drive I have a big smile at some point.
For the dust a swiffer duster works very well 👍
I’ll have to give that a shot! Right now I just use a tiny bit of dawn on a damp microfiber cloth.
If it's actually dirty, sure, but if only dusty & w/ fingerprints; a swiffer for the dust & a microfiber for the prints and your set. I have 22k miles on mine in just over a year and still looks new. I'm more modified than you, but the car is holding up great, and I also agree that the bast mod is lightweight 18" wheels. At just over 18lbs. my Superspeed RF06RR felt like an extra 30hp were added to the car.
@@IzzyEG6 thanks for the tips. Yes, the lightweight 18s are a game changer for sure. What other mods do you have done to yours?
Wow..paid off already in one year!! Wish I can pay mines off already.
You can totally do it! It just takes dedication and resistance to spending money on other things you may not really need.
@@n-power-automotiveimma try lol anyways congrats on paying it off. For me, only if I hit lotto haha
@ENtyce_5five9 the way to buy a car: walk in, write a check, walk out with the keys in hand.
@@MeltingRubberZ28 definitely is, but it’s not doable for most people nowadays.
@@n-power-automotive what interest rate did they quote you
Love it 😅 Got a 22 SEL Premium and I like this, but Id rather have more luxury features like adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist. Wish the other models other than the Limited came with LEDs though
It does have lane keep assist, but no adaptive cruise.
I got the the same color Elantra n Dct last week. So do we have to use premium gas?
And what miles need to the 1st service?
Nice, congrats! Premium is highly recommended, but I do hear about people using 87 octane. I personally would not use it though. First normal service is 7,500 miles I believe, but I had my first oil change at 5,000 just to be safe. I service my car as severe service schedule because I’m overly cautious about my cars.
I paid out of pocket @ 1k for an oil change to remove the brake in debris. Then just simply go with scheduled intervals. Make sure they use full synthetic. I'll switch to AMSOIL once freebies are gone.
Owner's manual recommends you use any octane level, not just Premium. Its actually quite strange the way they word it. But I use 87 and get much higher mileage than he states in the review. I typically can get around 40mpg highway
I've always heard octane levels are a myth. If the owners manual states you can use any, then do it. Higher octane will not hinder performance one bit.
Octane ratings are not fluff. The engine will limit power by retarding timing at lower octane levels due to their higher tendency to knock
I'm going down to 18s soon too. The 19s are way too big!
Smart move!
I really really wanted one of these but my buddy is a Hyundai mechanic and has replaced alot of these 2.0 turbo motors already
Good thing they have a solid warranty
I haven't seen one report of this... This engine is very reliable and been in N cars since 2017 ...
I haven’t heard of any widespread issues with the N engines. Not sure your buddy is being honest with you.
he sounds like a liar
@@mharro88 what car was it in, in 2017? VN?
any chance you can link the wheels?

What is this color
Cyber Gray
How long can that car last for
There’s a lot of Hyundai Veloster N’s getting up close to 100,000 miles now, so it should hopefully last well into the 6 digits.
@@n-power-automotive that’s good, I just wanted to know before I buy it, thanks for the notice
What are the rims?
Watch the video lol
#SaveTheManuals
In order to do that, people need to start buying them, otherwise they go bye-bye forever.
Love mine, i put 28k in 10 months lol
Dang! You must really enjoy driving yours!
If I had this car I would put te37s 🔥🔥🔥💭
Classic wheels! But for me, cheap car = cheap wheels lol
People are nuts if they think the front end of this car looks ugly. It’s a bad ass front end style. I own the same N as you.
Elantra N 2024 front end, now that’s an ugly front end. Nothing racing looking about it.
Ha ha glad we agree!
See here is the thing I find hilarious about your comment. Literally almost everyone who thinks the current front end looks better than the 2024 are people who, like you, own the current Gen. And those who prefer the new one are mostly not current EN owners. It's just funny how that works. Personally, my honest opinion is the current front end look is what made me very hesitant on buying one. I have always thought it was plain ugly. Now that I have seen the new one, the "minimalistic" changes are enough to make me buy it. So in one year it'll come down to EN or 24 G70.
You paid your car in one year 😮 🙄 I still need 6 years to finish paying it off 😞
I’m picking up my 2023 manual in Black on Thursday. Only 7000km because the guy found out he was having twins just a few days after! His loss may gain.
Very nice! You’re gonna love it!
@@n-power-automotive my only concern is the knock sensor after washing it issue but I decided…screw it I know I’ll love the car anyways lol
Funny is I think the new Mustang looks like it stole the rear from the Elantra
Yes, I feel it definitely resembles the back of the Elantra trunk as well.
Whats next for you?
Still trying to decide which intake and turbo inlet I’m going to go with.
@N-Power Automotive are you worried about your warranty with any of these mods?
@@MeltingRubberZ28 not really unless he’s tuning the car. Putting on an intake is so easily reversible.
@@MeltingRubberZ28 not with an intake and inlet. Tuning the car is when you start getting into dangerous territory with warranty claims.
@@n-power-automotive gotcha. I take it the turbo is pretty quiet with the factory intake?
Now sell the car and get what you can for it and put that towards a real car before you get nothing.
Why would I do that? I’m nearly at 2 years and it’s still the most fun car I’ve ever owned.
start autocrossing the car.
Lose 30 lbs and the seats are gonna be fine
Ha ha I wish. It’s my hips that dig into the seat bolsters. Losing weight won’t change my bone structure.
I was excited for the review until I realized you got a soy boy automatic.
Ok
