I appreciate your perspective, especially considering that you own a previous version of the same car. It does add some weight to your comment. Been following up your videos lately, very professional. Keep up your good work gyus
Thanks! 😀 It was very intriguing to see how the same car has evolved over the last couple years and compare the differences
Iiuunujjhhhhhghww
Hello. You guys make very interesting reviews. Nothing skip your eye and you give all the information. Plus you keep silent for some seconds which is, maybe you didn't notice, is important cause it let's us hear the true sounds coming from the car being wind, road and windows noises. I was searching reviews like yours. You're doing a very good job and your comments are right on target. Plus, you're almost the only ones to talk abut comfort and ride. Keep on doing your tremendous job. Thanks a lot.
Thank you, friend! We appreciate the kind words! 😁
My whole family uses Gates Hyundai! My dad has bought the 2019 Hyundai sonata. My mom has the 2019 Senta fe. I am currently buying the 2020 Hyundai elantra sel. We have went through Buddy for all cars. TALK TO BUDDY FOR AMAZING SERVICE!
Can't wait for 2021 Elantra review, the car looks dope at first glance.
Awesome video guys
I actually like the new look of Elantra
Thanks! 👍 Hope you have a great weekend!
I love my 2020 Elantra, I bought it in April of 2021 and I love it and have not gotten tired of it at all.
would u buy it for 19000 now? in 2023
Just got the grey 2019 SE model with the black interior and I love it! Great replacement from my totalled 08 Accord.
That’s a downgrade in size
I just downgraded from a 2020 Tuscon to the 2020 Elantra limited. Loving the mpg and decent space for my two kids
Just got a 2020 SEL in Machine Gray. Absolutely love it. Excellent look and performance so far. Much roomier than I expected for a small sedan. Couldn't be happier.
Congrats on your new Elantra! 👍
@@CarConfections Thank you!
Same here ...new 2020 Elantra SEL .... amazed at how nice it looks and drives ...$16,444 plus “dealer fee” tax and tag ..$18,700 “out the door”
@@billgale5568 hi are u financing it or paying cash for it? So the 18700 is after all the taxes and fee? Im about to purchase this car but the price the dealer offered me is a bit steep compare to your price
How much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking. Im seriously considering this car since they have 0 percent financing over 72 months
I’m a new subscriber and I want to say thank you for making such an awesome review!
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing and welcome to our Car Confections'family'! 🙂
The Hyundai Elantra offers a reasonable price for so much safety features and other equipment, I believe Hyundai/Kia has changed a lot since 2016.
Thanks for the detailed review.
You're welcome, bud! Have a great weekend!
I have 2020 Value and you are spot on about the features included in the trim levels. great video
Thanks!
I am an HVAC major and the reasoning behind the delay in the blower is probably due to it taking time to heat the air up. In other words, the air hasn't had time to be heated up yet so if the blower comes on instantly it will be blasting the exterior ambient temperature at you since it hasn't had time to heat up yet.
Nice review
thanks for the video
Great review. Nice looking car. I have had 3 Hyundai's in the UK and they have all been excellent. Superb build quality and totally reliable. Now on the Tucson and its amazingly quiet.
Thank you! Mason is very satisfied with his Elantra over the last 2 years!
I’ve been trying to find a good review as it’s so new and so many reviewers in general don’t go into the differences between model years and usually focus on the highest end trims (to be fair, it’s probably what they’re given to review with) - I’m hoping to get a ‘Luxury’ model up here in Canada, which is the first trim level to get leather, blah blah, similar to the Limited trim in the U.S. but it’s wonderful to see how many features come base and how responsive the systems are.
I love the new aggressive look, the previous design was great! Definitely compared to the clown face of earlier Elantras, but this has a road presence and honestly, I’ve done big chrome grill look with the Fusion and it’s a bit played at this point, I’m glad they ‘spiced’ it with the sharp angles.
Thank you for this review!
Glad you enjoyed! Good luck with your future purchase!
Great job on the review!!
Thanks we appreciate it!
Nice review still waiting for the Volkswagen Tiguan please in the SEL premium R line as I am considering it as my next vehicle and need a detailed review as you guys do amazing reviews
You are too kind! We see what we can do!
Howdy, great review as always!😸😻😸
Thanks for binging reviews!
Very nice job on the review guys
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Nice review guys
Thanks as always for your help!
I’m looking at one next month. Would you drive it from NY to Florida?
I'm buying the value edition tmr what a nice looking car in and our with great features much better then 23 in my opinion 😊
I’m 20 years old and just purchased a 2020 Hyundai Elantra 😊❤️
Congrats! What trim and color combo did you go with?
Naveanna Hunt how do you like it so far?
I bought my first brand new car at 20 and drove it 18 years with very little problem. The rust is what killed the car.
The Elantra is the best car for the money on the market today .... pay a little extra and get the SEL model
Which trim did u get ? And how much did u end up paying if u dont mind me asking? Im seriously considering purchasing the SEL version but im not sure if my dealer is giving the best price
Nice to see Hyundai didn't cheapen out with steel wheels on this trim, which I feel they could've easily done even on this SEL trim; since it's only a step above base.
Can u please do a review on a 2018 Chevy Cruz
I like that you reviewed one of the lower models. Most of the big companies (JD, Car & Driver etc.) review only the top line models so their review is almost useless when you're looking to buy something basic.
So, I ended up buying one with a great deal. A 2020 model with 3k miles, got almost 40% off the list price after dealer/mfg discounts and rebates.
I literally just bought the exact same car yesterday and so far I LOVE it!
5 months later...Do you still love your new Hyundai?
I just bought it today
Just a quick note for potential buyers: he mentioned an updated cabin heating system for the 2020 models. However, from experience, my 2020 hyundai sel is moderately slow when heating up in the winter.
the upgraded packages have very fast & hot steering/seat heating but the ac can take 5 mins of running to warm. even in -25°C ;)
just my experience though!
Agree
Fulltime Uber and Lyft drivers be like 😍😍 at this SEL trim.
2019 SE I can drive 2-3 days on a tank and make over $400 in that time.
ThisIsIt what city?
2:52 Wait the SEL has heated windows? How do I turn it on?! How do I turn on blind spot monitoring on my 2020 elantra SEL? 11:40 The heater heats up pretty quickly imo on my Hyundai Elantra SEL.
My 2020 se doesn't seem to have android auto. Am I missing it or do some not have it?
Good review guys. I assume the engine is not direct gasoline injected? Hope not. I think Hyundai back in 2018 decided not to go that route for better eng reliability. As in no carbon buildup. It stays on my shopping list with a 3K rebate of course. Also like the non-annoying cvt and mpg.
Thanks! That is correct. The 2.0L engine is not a GDI engine
Small advice If like to drop. Your camera work is quite solid, but slow down the motion and panning, like in the intro shots, and you have some good work there
I like this Design better then the 2018. Mine is a 2020 too with White Exterior
Purchased a 20 Elantra VAlue and really like the Mileage and the CVT, although express down windows all around would be nice...
How much did you pay for it if u dont mind me asking? Im seriously considering purchasing this car in the SEL trim but im not sure if my dealer is offering the best price
Great review very nice car Hyundai has come a long way Drew at last a suuny day nice!!!!! Nice sunglasses as the owner
Thanks man! It was a fantastic day to film!
You guys do a great job! We own a 2013 Accent (a very good car and a peppy little bugger) which is getting a little more difficult for us seniors (my wife and I) to get in and out of. Would this new 2020 Elantra be easier for us seniors to enter and exit? Thanks.
Thanks, Stan! As far as getting in and out, I don't think you will be able to tell much of a difference since they are both sedans and are only 1 size category apart. You may want to look at Hyundai's small crossovers like the Kona or Tuscon since they sit higher off the ground
@@CarConfections Thanks!
I’m 6 feet tall and 84 years old ..no problem at all getting in or out ... wonderful car ... smooth, quiet, fuel efficient and loaded with features previously found only on luxury cars (SEL model)
Be nice to have an overhead handle above the Drivers door like the other 3...and a Drivers Power Seat.
@@billgale5568 keep going Bill! My father didn't give up driving till 94. And only reason was his eyesight was getting poor. I rode with him frequently, to keep on top of how his driving skills were doing. At 93, he drove exactly like he did his whole life. Too fast,! Lol, always in complete control, excellent braking and handling skill, did 75 80 on the freeways, and was still driving several times a year from so cal to Las Vegas with his early 70s girlfriend!! So, Enjoy your Elantra and keep on going down the road! Ps, I'm 60, and have a 2017 Elantra I bought new in june 2016. Fully loaded with all the goodies available on the SE. 68.000 miles now and 0 repairs or issues. Very pleased with it.
What are the new safety systems that come in the value edition trim for 2020 model year?
Aryeh Rosenthal lane keep assist, forward collision assist, blind spot and rear camera
DORITOS any 1??? 😂 and Great Review given what u had 2 work wit. Later
Doritos are the best!!!
i am thinking of getting a new 2020 Elantra SEL but after my 2017 sonata sport and plus that they have CVT or ivt transmissions on Elantra's i dont know if its good decision . I red a lot of reviews a bout CVT's and they are not so good as i was expecting
Why a new car after just 3 years? My 2015 Sport is 5 years and paid off...gl.
I like the 2020 Hyundai Elantra, it looks good, but the 2018 Elantra looks better!!!
Yup. That's what's I got. Dont like CVT trans
Automatic
CHAD ok!! I don’t like cvt Engines ether!!
Hyundai's design language is the best.🤩🤩
Especially this Elantra 🤩🤩
Seems like a nice car. I can't say much for the new styling though. It doesn't seem to do anything for the car. I liked the 2016 model the best as far as looks go. Also, no wonder cars are getting so expensive. I can see from your review the phenomenon known as "feature creep." Even an economy car like the Elantra now has features once associated with luxury vehicles. Nice review though.
Everyone’s hating on the CVT. They may be boring but they do have their pros. They get good gas mileage, and they make the most of a small amount of power
Personally, I couldn't care less about how a CVT drives. My hatred stems from their lack of durability. Imagine if you bought a car with an engine timing belt, except that the belt wasn't replaceable and you just had to replace your entire engine when the belt broke. Well, that's exactly how a CVT transmission is.
Nodak81 I agree but durability isn’t an enormous problem when they’re used properly, that being in a small car with not a lot of power. The problems start when they’re mated to V6s with 250+ horsepower in 4500 lb SUVs. The Elantra is a compact economy car. A CVT makes sense
Most 500# snowmobiles use a CVT but you don't drive it year round or daily...
@@nodak81 new CVT's including the transmission in these Hyundai's have a chain, not a belt.
5th comment, 179th view, and 20th like! And this might yours! “To TWIN”, it’s not like you guys get that at all....
Is there auto highbeams and pedestrian detection new for the value edition? I happen not to like the rear of the car that the license plate was moved from the middle to the bottom of the car.
The Value Edition does not have auto high beams or pedestrian detection.
Thanks! But what are the exact changes for the 2020 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition?
it now has blue link so you can start your car from your phone. that’s cool. lane keep assist and forward collision assist. that are the only changes but good ones. they do not have pedestrian detection which i think should be on all cars. safety should be standard. why should u hv to pay for these features? I understand the infotainment and Led lights and upgraded speakers being extra as those are wants and not needs but safety should be standard on all trims.
How many have caught fire? Transmission? Piston slap? My 19 is garbage!
My SEL has heated seats
I got the 2020 le very nice but the chair is uncomfortable
the jetta has the best base engine in this class
Just bought one it’s an awesome car!!!!
Congrats!
Nice. How much did you pay ?
Is it cvt
It really is awesome ... I can’t believe what a nice car it is especially at the price I paid .... fabulous warranty too.
Which trim did u get ? And how much did u end up paying if u dont mind me asking? Im seriously considering purchasing the SEL version but im not sure if my dealer is giving the best price
I have a 2020 6 speed manual se in canada
The chime sounds like Mazda and elevator
2:21 Which is what makes me nervous about it since people may want to steal ot
I have that same key fob on my 2009 Elantra 😂
Goonster72 has the same general designed key in our old 07 Entourage 😂
It is t a varaint of the cvt which is better
I hope you guys can review Genesis G70😊
Same
I prefer the look of the 2018 Elantra, still a good car to get though.
Me too
Looks like a cross between the Ioniq and the I30 fastback.
What exactly is the change for the 2020 model year?
CVT, safety systems across the lineup and dual zone climate
Thanks! The CVT new transmission is something new for the 2020 Hyundai Elantra. My question is will the car sit better on the road because of the new transmission that its getting?
Aryeh Rosenthal ...I don’t know about “sitting better on the road” but it sure is smooth, quiet and fuel efficient
The nice cover is gone over the little compartment, Unfortunately. Also the chrome trim around the cupholders is gone, more plain looking. Other touches like weirding out the plastic housing around the display , the vents, not an improvement. I much prefer my 17.
La voiture est belle
It is a pos wate till it gets a lot of miles on it and it uses oil and the check engine light comes on because of the oil going into the cat if you have the 2.0 engine you will have that problem trust me I have a 2018
Dont fret on the IVT you guys, it's an option on the 2020 elantra. If you look at the configurations, it will say the trim and the same trim below that says SULEV which is the IVT, with the exception of the sport trim.
15:15 Does anyone know what this song is called? Thanks.
It's called Invisible by Vibe Tracks. Thanks for tuning in!
@@CarConfections Thank you and your welcome.
Interesting review, though the critique was a little lopsided and only on the positives. I rented this car a few days ago and the ride was awful. I felt every bump on the rode. Let me put it this way: if I would have drove over a tic toc I would have felt it.
I have the same car but rental
Can anyone here tell me if there's a difference in suspension between the 2020 elantra and 2019? I have the 2019 without the cvt
There is no noticable difference
@@CarConfectionsThank you. I appreciate your answer.
@@CarConfections I do have a another question though between the 2018 and 2019 is the cabin noise different and also are there any changes in handling between the 2018 and 2019? Is there blue link in the 2018 or did they install that in 2019 and above?
@@CarConfections so your saying that the handling and suspension is the same between the 2019 and 2020? I heard people say that the cvt in the 2020 helps with better handling
Another nice review, guys! One aspect of my 2018 Elantra I'm not thrilled with is the 6-spd auto transmissions behavior. Driving around the city, it shifts too much and acts confused at 30 and 40mph. I am thinking of replacing it with a 2020 Elantra for the CVT to eliminate the constant shifting and shift shock I experience with the city driving I do, but haven't driven a 2020 yet. I'm disappointed hear the CVT's artificial shifts are firm and abrupt. I was hoping they would be smooth and seamless, since no gears are actually changing, just ratio changes within the CVT. That may be a deal breaker for me, but still worth a test drive. I'd appreciate having the standard auto climate control as well. I was spoiled by it with my last car. I'm also thinking I may get the SE instead of the SEL. Although I do use it fairly often, I'm not a fan of using the Android Auto. I only use it regularly for the navigation and I'd say about 25% of the time using it, the system crashes and takes a couple minutes to bring my route back up. Total pain when you're navigating in the city and turns happen frequently. My old Garmin was a lot more trustworthy.
Get a manual transmission and quit your whining already.
i just got the 2020 and the artificial shifts seem smooth to me
2020 Elantra SEL here ...transmission is great ... smoothest ever
The shift points are only noticeable when in sport mode and ur really getting on the gas. In normal or eco/smart, I can't even feel the shifts.
@@dualityofman1253 It's not 1987. Get with the times.
i am the only passenger in my car so i cant complain too much, however, they did away with the pocket on the back of the front passenger seat. (I had it on my 2018 VE, I just bought the 2020)I mean that costs $5. I remember when cars had them on both seats and just having only one was awkward looking but to have none? smh. BTW, i like the IVT because it has faster pickup than the 6 speed AT does. I used to hate the slow acceleration of the AT. Everyone including a turtle was faster.
Congrats on your new car but why did you switch cars after just 2 years?
Hyundai offered traditional automatic, but then, everyone who whined about CVT was whining about low MPG and even competition SUVs with CVT sold like hotcakes lol.
So naturally Hyundai brought in CVT and gave it as an option, just for the smaller entries(they are still sticking to non-CVT for SUVs at least)
,but now ppl are complaining about CVT again when they got the MPG and quiet cabin
Yeah, I guess some CVTs weren’t good. This is an IVT, an improved variation on the CVT. We test drove both a 2019 Kia Forte and a 2020 Elantra with the IVT and we really liked them. Does not feel like other CVTs. Smooth, quiet and best gas mileage in a non-hybrid/electric car. If they’re durable, we actually prefer this transmission. We were thinking of leasing one first, just to make sure there are no problems with it.
Yo, my dad has the same car but in black 😂😂😂
I just got a 2020 Elantra Value Edition. You should try this. Go 60 MPH (Or any speed you want) and set the cruise control. Make a note of your RPM's. Now go 60 MPH with your foot on the gas and check your RPM's. Anyone care to explain why when you have the cruise set the RPM's are around 2250 and with your foot on the gas there around 1500 RPM's?
how much did u end up paying if u dont mind me asking? Im seriously considering purchasing the SEL version but im not sure if my dealer is giving the best price
@@bismatedja86 Off the top of my head I think it was 18,600. But that was on a special promotion in Michigan.
@@m28us41thanks, is that price after or before taxes?
@@m28us41 so overall , do you like the cars performance/reliable?
@@bismatedja86 Yes, I like it very much. Especially the gas mileage. I've only have the car about 8 months with about 9500 miles on it and over all MPG is 36.6!!! I guess it helps the last 2000 miles or so I've been driving 55 mph.
I’m sorry I feel like Hyundai went a step back and didn’t the 2018 just get redesigned 2 years ago?? Why so fast ???
At least Honda gives you standard led DTRL on the Civic
It got refreshed, not totally redesigned
It was redesigned for 2017, and the 2019 was a refresh. This is still the same generation as a 2017. The next generation will be the full redesign in about 2022
Engines catching on fire and reputation for poor fuel economy has forced a quick pivot. I'll let early adopters take a chance on a new engine and new CVT before even thinking of buying one.
“Standard LED “daytime running lights ?????? ....and a warranty that’s half as long ????? .... I’ll take the warranty.
I have one how do you turn the eco system mode off??
Owners manual will reveal all that you question.
The blower motor is too loud
40th like no dislikes ohh yeah
Fantastic 👍 👍
For those that don’t like the CVT...get over it! Yes, the early generation suffered from noise and reliability issues, as well as a different sensory experience that many found unpleasant. The newer designs have addressed these concerns, including a simulated “shift” sensation, which personally I find silly in a non-sports car, but if it makes people more comfortable, so be it. The reality is they will be with us for the foreseeable future given the added performance and fuel economy they eek out of smaller motors. The 41 MPG in this Elantra is within hybrid territory, without the need for more complex and expensive solutions. For most daily drivers, a modern CVT works just fine.😊
Not sure where you came up with the fantasy idea that they're suddenly reliable. A CVT belt WILL break and seemingly tend to do so right after the warranty expires. It's an inherently weak design. If you change your car every couple years then it'll probably be fine, but if (like me) you keep your cars for many years then it's just a ticking time bomb.
@@nodak81 Not fantasy, but rather the typical life-cycle of most mechanical design. The early 8/9 speed geared transmissions had reliability issues just as the CVT, but both are improving as the engineers benefit from real world experience. No car company will survive with a reputation as being unsafe or unreliable, so they have a strong incentive to continually enhance their products. I get that a mature design is inherently less risky than something new, but the challenge for the manufacturers is to achieve the mandated corporate fuel economy average, while still offering affordable models. With currently available technology, the CVT is part of that strategy for low and mid-range priced vehicles.
@@nodak81 Bruh, must you make it your life goal to bitch about CVTs on everyone's post? They're better than they used to be. The base car has 145hp and next to nothing in torque. The "CHAIN" isn't going to break anywhere near the rubber belts life expectancy. Unless you're stupid and constantly engine break or switch between reverse and drive while in slow roll, fail to do regular transmission fluid maintenance, etc. This is on the 2.0 model. If you hate this so much, fuckin buy the 1.8 turbo and jog off. You're a broken ass record.
Nodak81 ..Elantra CVT does not have a “belt” ..it is chain driven
@@kafalias1 His opinion is as valid as yours....
And now in 2024 they changed the look again
I hate...the shape. It’s too angular and just doesnt look good at all. Look better in the older models exterior wise
The previous one looks way better like bruh what was Hyundai thinking
It honestly doesnt look too bad
@@andybub45 yeah the higher trims don't look that bad
It’s a lot better looking than the new Corolla or the new civic (with twice the warranty length) ...interior blows away the Corolla (I sat in one)
This is Perrell Brown's car
Imma buy it then
א ח ל ה !!!
It looks nice, but a CVT just never seems to work out correctly.
This a chain type CVT not the rubber band belt we’re used to seeing.
@@tails300 yes
The CVT has a 10 year/100k mile warranty so you'll be fine.
It came out for the 2019 Kia Forte and another model, now for the 2020 Elantra and Accent, so, technically the IVT is in it's 2nd model year in company's eye.
Those are almost always the bad CVT’ S in Nissons (made by Jatco)
It's an IVT not a CVT.
CVT is a type of transmission, IVT is just branding
You meant 2019
Umm no. It is a 2020, we talked at length about the changes
My bad
CVT transmissions are no bueno. They are either unserviceable and have to be completely replaced if something goes wrong, or they are incredibly expensive to repair. Any vehicle that has a CVT loses it value extremely quickly a la Nissan Murano.
That key is old
But is the best for anti theft. Keyless entry signals can be cloned with a special device.
@@hectorfernando4445 to be honest, in my country(Puerto Rico), the Elantra and any Kia or Hyundai in general are one of the most stolen cars because those keys are not equipped with immobilizer like the smart keys does except for their more expensive models like the sorento which came with immobilizer no matter the key fob
@@edwinalfredo310 No immobilizer chip on the basic key? That's bad.
Great! Hyundai just lost customers. Making the front grille so ugly, and adding the CVT was the worst possible decision.
There's nothing wrong with CVT for an economy car. It's being equipped with a chain belt, not a rubber belt. If you want a car equipped with standard automatic, then go with the 1.8 sport. The base car without turbo was not meant for speed or power. The reality is the CVT will be perfect for the standard 2.0, especially if they can preset past a the current 6 speed. Maybe an 8 speed.
@@kafalias1 The driving experience is shit. Only wins by 1-2 mpg's in perfect conditions.
Dima K .... 2020 SEL here ... drives like a dream (and I have a 2018 Camry LE to compare it to)
No thanks. Another car ruined by an unreliable CVT transmission. I'd rather buy an Accent just for the 6-speed auto. Unless they've changed that to a horrible CVT by now too.
The Accent's getting a CVT for 2020 as well.
The “CVT” is by no means “horrible” ...I have a 2018 Camry LE in my garage along with the 2020 Elantra SEL ... I prefer driving the Elantra
CVT??? no!!!!!!!!!!! POP the hood/trunk, full size spare?
Kia Forte is better.
Hyundai owns 33% of Kia 😜
They actually share a lot of the same vehicle structure.
Got one of these as a loaner this weekend. The CVT is horrible! just like a Nissan. Drives like a slipping rubber band. Bye Hyundai!!!!!
hellboundTX333 .... my 2020 Elantra SEL MOST DEFINITELY DOES NOT feel the least bit like that ...it’s the best transmission I’ve ever had (comes with a 10 year 100k warranty too ....try to get that on your Toyota or Honda (by the way both their comparable cars (Corolla and civic) have CVT’S TOO.)
Lol. Mine feels nothing like that. Hyundai did a great job designing this IVT transmission.
this car looks disappointing compared to it's competition. I would rather go for a civic or a corolla over this. In fact, The new Mazda 3 smokes all of them.
CVT's rarely return the promised MPG's. I've always liked the Elantra. But Hyundai has effectively made the Elantra drive as bad as it looks. Hard, hard pass.
Sam Chatham .... 2020 Elantra SEL is the nicest driving car I’ve ever owned and at age 84 that’s a bunch ..... feels almost like a luxury car.
So now the Elantra looks like the Sonata and it has a crap engine. Glad I got the 2016 model.
2015 Sport here...
They destroyed the look of this little car.
Delusional comment
too expensive for a Hyundai
Never pay MSRP...
