6:21 pre-1995 miata owners everywhere sobbing over this statement
pre-94 model year actually 🤓☝
14:30 the Chevrolet Skyline is my favorite car.
why did he say r34 skyline??
@@tawfeeqshhe's joking because that generation Impala tail lights resemble the Skyline. Maybe the front a bit too but not really.
@@Defy_Convention ohhhh ok, well he got me there lol.
thanks for explaining it to me
That's The Joke
13:18 we all see that red light runner lol
Great review king
Added to my first car list
It looks a lot better than the previous model.
Awesome review Chris!
We need a daily commute with the new sonata n line but this video was so calming to watch
From my experience, the most efficient way to drive a hybrid is to accelerate relatively firmly (i.e. let the gas engine turn on) up to speed and then coast in EV. Accelerating slowly in EV from stop is ironically less efficient, not to mention potentially rage-inducing to the cars behind you.
I love this car. So economic, a lot of tech, and really cool styling. Surprising amount of value, to be honest. I might even say this is way better than the Corolla hybrid! Great video Chris. Glad to see you uploading more Korean cars as well hahahah
Needs more Genesis videos. I'm eyeing on the GV70 but there's not that many vids out there.
@@QueueTeePies exactly. Genesis is super underrated
Until your engine blows.
@@luism8130 which doesn't happen, because this engine has proven to be extremely reliable
@@luism8130 LMFAO
Because of Kia/Hyundais DCT hybrid system and the electric motors placement in between, you can maintain EV mode at highway speeds on relatively flat roads.
we drove out east on the PA toll road, recently paved, slight decline, perfect for the hyrbid. we were getting 56+ mpg
Great video! Hope to see a Corolla Hybrid (probably with AWD) road trip or commute video from you.
I just traded in a Kona N for a 24 Elantra Hybrid limited. That Kona was a blast but after 15,000 miles of getting bounced around it was time for something more civil haha. I love it! I completely identify with what you said about being an enthusiast but behind the wheel of this your trying to keep the motor from coming on. This feels like it definitely has more sound deadening than a Civic. Great review!
Hows the car treating you!! plan on getting an elantra hybrid spring of next year😆
How much did the trade run you? Looking into trades right now
Just got the blue hyrbid a month ago, my first new car. i had driven a 1990 lumina, 1993 caprice classic, 1996 park avenue, and a 2004 lesabre prior, so this feels like a luxury car to me.
the song u used for the bose sound test brought me back years bruh
drop the time stamp
Sage Gray interior is the only one with a black headliner/pillars. For anyone wanting to buy it.
The first car I own. The Hyundai Elantra :D
I wish the new sonata looked more like this. Love the rear design. Last time I tried an Elantra it was too small tho :/
13:15 ahhh man i miss living here... it was just a different vibe. but yeah honestly a compact hybrid like this or the corolla hybrid are perfect for commuting in areas like this. you're "eco-friendly" and you arent breaking the bank with the MSRP either. just gotta hope these newer KDM products have less reliaiblity issues and in soon time they'll have much better reputation with other enthusiasts and consumers!
9:42 that holder/divider between driver and passenger is the reason we went with civic. Passenger space feels like seating in cab!
65.5 MPG is insane.
I was just in that parking structure yesterday on my talaria and I thought man I feel like a GTA character a real life GTA character
The Elantra is nice, but I wish they still made the Ioniq hybrid. I’ve got a ‘22 Ioniq hybrid and it’s downright effortless to beat the 55mpg EPA figure. Typically highway trips will end with me around 65mpg if I can keep to 65-70, and it’ll switch to full electric even when I’m going 70.
Also, as a hatchback, it’s got that extra level of versatility. Only downside to it in my mind is the 6 speed DCT, I think I would have preferred an eCVT, even if the DCT allows it to feel a little more fun to drive. But let’s be honest, it’s still a 139HP hybrid. Give me extra efficiency.
Great video! Can you do the 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited next?
Driving experience, cabin space and features-wise, how would you compare this to the Kia Niro Hybrid? I can't decide between either of them.
Never been a fan of the Elantra but this not too bad, I give it a 8 on the scale
Nice car.
I thought with 2024 it introduced the 360 cam AND turn signal cameras in the dash?
13:19 That was a bit late from the Escape in front lol
A Town Car plus the GS400 would be a hilarious old V8 Sedan combo tbh. Or find a Mercury Marauder since they look a bit more menacing
I want a Marauder..... so badly.
Im averaging over 51mpg on the 24 accord EXL even though the car is rated a lot lower than this elantra. I don't get the EPA ratings sometimes
Same! 23 accord EXL here and I am getting 56 in the city, and averaging 51 combined. Great car!
Yep same with my 2015 Kia Soul base 1.6L with automatic transmission, EPA rating says 26 but I did my own calculation dividing miles by gallons and it says 30-31. But drops down to 24-26 anything after 70 MPH.
I would love this Hyundai hybrid with a manual transmission
Never gonna happen
2014 Elantra was the best design so far….its getting a bit dated now ten year on, but still looks good with modern designs.
im getting 36 mpg in the city with my regular 2023 elantra SEL convenience
I had one of these (2023). Unbelievable fuel economy, easily in the 60s. But it was the most uncomfortable car I’ve ever owned, the seats are so stiff and feel like rocks after a couple hours. Everything in the interior including the seats just feels SO cheap.
23:31 The funniest thing I've heard this weekend, lol.
Yeah. funny that $26k is considered a cheap car by him.
I mean he does reviews of lambos aston martins and stuff
When the average new car price is creeping up on $50k... yeah, I'd say $26k is cheap.
@@chickennoodle6620 Truthfully, there's not much anymore that sells for less. Anything that does is probably not going to be a hybrid, unless you go used. If you want to blame anyone, blame your bosses for not paying you fairly.
That's a bit odd. I am sure that the limited edition has more options. 360 camera. Camera turns on instead of the cluster guages on turn signals.
Correction to my previous comment. I just bought one. The 360 camera is available on the limited. But on the gas version not on the hybrid. Which made me a lil upset. But it has ventilated seat which the gas version doesnt. Why hyundai.. Just.. Why
if it just had rear ac for my guest i would so buy it.
Can you do a commute drive with a qx60 please?
If I ever get my hands on one, absolutely!
My 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid's trip computer consistently reads around 45-46 MPG average, but my calculated average based on fill-ups and distance traveled is around 41.5 MPG. This is why I tend to not trust the trip computer readout.
Imagine driving a ford
I have a friend who worked at kia. When he was there he was all praise for the brand. After he left the company he told me about all the new engines that were taking up space at dealerships. All the engines that were to replace faulty ones
Nice ride, I like it.
Wait did u say AN car at 18:00?
Why not in Europe? :(
what about a corolla hybrid
Ive always loved Hyundai's styling in and out as well as its affordability, and this car sure doesnt dissapoint. Amazing review on the Elantra Chris! Much love from NYC ❤
You did not mention that Hyundai only charges $15,000 for a replacement hybrid battery..... Look it up happened to two people in Vegas....
It would be covered to 100k miles or 10 years. But yeah you wouldn’t want to take the chance past the warranty coverage
0:27: Fun Fact: Ann Arbor is home to Domino’s North American Headquarters, Founded in Ypsilanti.
Yes! My dad went to school with some of the family
@@TopherDrives, wow
This car looks on par or even nicer than my Audi. I'd have bought one if not for the fact that I had to push my friends 2013 Sonata across three lanes of busy rush hour city traffic, across an intersection, up hill into a burger king parking lot because their Theta 2 engines have a knack for disliking being unexploded.
“disliking being unexploded” 😭😭😭
Wait, car reviewers do day to day real world car simulations?
I'm always trying to show intended purposes of the vehicles!
The biggest problem with these hybrids are these GDI engines. Not specific to Hyundai. I have the same problem with fuel dilution in my Santa Fe Hybrid. Short trips don't allow the gas to burn off. I have about 5% fuel dilution in my latest oil analysis from Blackstone which is causing premature metal wear. As a result, I need to be changing oil at 4000 miles and using higher viscosity oil (switching to 5W-30 from 0W-20).
Not sure why they don’t pair the 2.5L (which is GDI/Port injection) together with their hybrid systems. Unless this is intentional…
Hyundai is really messing up not offering this with the 1.6turbo hybrid system in the SUV's.
i want to see ur lexus gs400
I've got 3 videos of it on the channel!
Next one K8 ?
Or K5 GT ?
Or Grandeur ?
no such thing as azera in united states bro
No such thing as a K8 or Grandeur… tf
@@canadianaviator I know that, but unfortunately, the comment is intended for the channel owner with a driving experience behind the wheel and is not intended for you!
@@hq7 Shut up and get a life
Man, I wish! K5 GT is the only one we have here in the US, so I'll try to get one of those.
I want to drive the K8 so bad. Big luxury sedans are my favorite
11:54 excessive EV in a hybrid without a plug is a net LOSS since the engine must recharge the battery after a heavy depletion such as trying to accelerate in EV mode. Getting up to speed at a reasonable rate is MORE efficient.
How is this like compared to Toyota's E-CVT system?
similar but wont last as long.
It's a different flavor of hybrid. Toyota has always been on top for hybrids, but I appreciate the smoothness of this 6DCT, and the way you're able to realllly milk that EV mode with it.
the pre FL looked better. The new front with slimed down head lights are ugly.
Roof beside construction site 🎉
What city is that?
ann arbor michigan he said
my issue is that it's a HYUNDAI. From 7 people that own a Hyundai that I know, 5 had a catastrophic engine failure and luckily had it replaced under warranty (the other two just have really old models, perhaps they built them better back in the day). And then there's cases for hybrids where the battery replacement is like $15k and the EV battery replacement because of a minor scratch is like the price of an entire car....I'd just NEVER trust a Hyundai.
Hybrids and anything with batteries will be very expensive in the long run. Most people don't realize Li-Ion only gets so many charges and has to be treated properly too. I have an older Kia which shared parts with Hyundai and its been pretty trouble free but I would never purchase a new one with all the complaints of quality issues. Not that any manufacturer makes anything trouble free nowadays. It's simply not in their interest to perfect anything, as you'd never have to buy another one if they made it last.
But you have Kia Rio lol
Battery has a long warranty and 15k is a huge stretch
I work at a dealership and work in the used car dept, and we get Hyundais as trade ins all the time. Most of them we end up auctioning off because it’s not worth fixing the issues with them. Funny enough we have a 21 Elantra hybrid with 41k and the engine and transmission shit itself. Luckily we pay nothing due to Hyundai’s powertrain warranty. But I think new Hyundais have their place, as they are relatively cheap and have good warranty’s and give you peace of mind while the warranty is active. But once it ends trade it in ASAP
@nevousabonnezpas4286 don't listen to this fool. Look, nothing is as reliable as Toyota, but that doesn't mean that anything that isn't Japanese is trash. I'm so sick of people shitting on anything on the basis of long term reliability, which is not bad at all within the hyundai kia motor group.
This is the worst hybrid they make by far imo. Super smooth and quiet in electric mode and then when the engine kicks on it's like there's a $30 home depot generator behind a firewall made out of drywall. Tucson hybrid absolutely fks tho
What, the dirt bike in the front too much for ya? 😂
Not everybody likes loud car why you think some ppl drive electric cars and smooth hybrid?
looks like a toyota knockoff to be honest
It's a shame we don't get the limited trim here in Canada
It loses features the Blue gets as well, switching the lights to reflector LED's, and it costs the same as the N-Line which has significantly more features and not much worse fuel economy
If they brought this trim over, especially with the costs of everything I feel it would do well
