2021 Hyundai Elantra vs 2020 Elantra, worth the switch!
• 2021 Hyundai Elantra v...
The Sentra does have a Sport Mode, it's the button on the back of the shifter, it changes it from "D" to "Ds," which of course means "Drive Sport."
This is the video that convinced me in buying my new Elantra.
I owned a Sentra for 5 years and before upgrading to the newer model, I figured I’d look into other brands in its class. The Elantra was on my list. Test drove both of them. The new Sentra’s interior was way better upgraded than my 2017 version. But as soon as I sat inside the Elantra, I fell in love with it immediately. The amount of tech you get for the money is insane. I’m 33,000 miles in on my limited trim and I have had no issues. It’s a great car. Can’t wait for the chance to get the N model someday.
I’m a Hyundai guy. Have had an Elantra Limited since 2015. It has been perfect in operation since day one. Never needed the 5 year 60000 bumper warranty or the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. 61000 miles so far. Has only needed regular maintenance tires main battery and front break pads. Oh yea, wiper blades too! Love my Hyundai!!!!
Had a 2012 Elantra. The unique styling blew me away! Looked like no other compact!
@@wilchambers1401 we/I sold a zillion of them great little cars!!
I got a question
We bought our first Hyundai in 2002, the Elantra! And we didn’t get rid of that car until it had 175,000 on it!! Only major thing that went after the warranty ended was the catalytic converter, which eventually goes on basically all cars anyway. And then a few hose and sensor replacements, again totally normal wear. Oh, and if we tried to top off the gas, it would shoot back out a bit 😂 Come to find out, you’re really not supposed to top off your gas tank, it messes with the sensor in your gas tank that gauges the gas level. Other than that, that thing served us well. It was a beast, best $13,000 we ever spent. Before that we’d buy used cars and then spend a load on repairs for however long we could keep it running. That Elantra changed everything for us.
So in the past 19 years we’ve remained loyal Hyundai customers. We just bought our 5th Hyundai, this 2021 Elantra for my daughter! We got her the SEL with the convenience and premium packages which brings it up to right to to below the limited trim in features! The limited for some reason loses the wireless Apple CarPlay, which I cannot understand why. The only thing I can think of is maybe it interferes with the navigation that the limited comes with that the SEL doesn’t? Really nice sporty looking car, jam packed with tech and safety features, makes this mama a bit less anxious about her being on the road ☺️
Out of all of the Hyundai’s we’ve owned, 2014 Santa Fe Ultimate with the third row, 2017 Santa Fe Sport (which got totaled in an terrible accident but all I got was a scratch in my knuckle) and my 2018.5 Sonata Limited 2.0t, only one had any need for a major repair BUT because of Hyundai’s incomparable warranty they fixed the problem (couldn’t repair the transmission in the 2014 Santa Fe so they replaced it with a brand new one, not rebuilt) and gave us a loaner car while it was in the shop - all at no cost to us. We won’t buy anything else anymore. As long as you keep up with the recommended routine maintenance schedule, your Hyundai will serve you well!
Bought the 2021 limited. Love this car, it's like the Tesla for the budget conscious!!
There's actually a button on the gear shifter that takes the sentra into Ds which I'm guessing is their sport mode!
That’s what’s that button is for?! Good to know I’ll try it next time
Yes I have the sentra s base model 2020 ...and it has this... Funny that they are hiding this feature lol... .. it works extremely well providing excessive power to the engine... To quickly overtake cars that you need to get in front of ect ... Just remember when you're done with it.to turn it off you don't want to damage your CVT ...
@@kevinpatino6318 yes
I would say the Elantra is for me. It doesn’t look like any other car that’s out. The Sentra, looks like a mini Altima or Maxima, and even the Versa.
Es igual = changan eado 2020
tf the sentra looks like the versa?? smh
Yup... totally looked like the 2021 versa
I thought I saw a maxima in the thumbnail I didn’t know it was a Sentra at first 😂
The sentra definitely gets a plus from me. 👍
19:50 FYI, the Nissan does have a Sport mode. It's a hidden button the shifter. I test drove one recently and the salesperson had to show me where the tiny button is. Once you know it's there, it's fine. But it sure isn't obvious.
Reason not to rely on YT reviewers. Most of them wish they were test driving a F1 and they base their review on their disappointment of not driving a F1. Biased.
What a coincidence! My 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL in blue is named Aurora 💙 🚙
Nice
Lol that's the colour of samsung galaxy note 10 plus Aurora glow
How do you like it so far? How is it on gas?
@@Shelissssaa I mostly just drive to work with it (it’s 20 mins away), but it’s really great on gas!
@@ChiChi-sb4ys what’s your opinion on that handle bar (I’m not sure what it’s called) that is next to the transmission? Have you ever ridden with someone in the front passenger seat? Does it create un-comfort or make it feel like there’s a distance between you two?
Hyundai all the way. Im from indonesia. I love hyundai
Elantra 👍
Actually, Canada has a new 2021 Sentra SR with an optional 6 speed manual and a base model S (that I think was available last year as well) with an optional 6 speed manual
Lucky! Mines automatic
Bring it to the US ..i want one
Nissan got the styling inside and out just right.
The Elantra is meannn just picked up a limited version a week ago!
Elantra for sure!! Hyundai is killing it!
Looking forward to the new Tucson arriving in Canada..
The Sentra interior is so nice
he forgot to mention that the sentra with the sv trim has a premium package with real taneed leather all for 23,000. also the sport button is on the shifter the little white line on the back.
My girl just got the fully loaded elantra. Interior is cheap. Nothing is soft touch except the top of the dash. But the layout and tech is what sold her on it.
How has it been? Thinking of that one
@@dopemuffinz1000 she hasn't had any issues and loves it. I like the tech alot. It's basically self driving as it steers itself in lane(without wobbling side to side and looking drunk) which I really like. I also like the digital dash and the infotainment. Not my cup of tea as a car. But for her it's nice. I drive a challenger scatpack and have always driven big body V8 cars . So I wouldn't personally buy one but if your in the market for a car like that I'd def say its very nice
@@MLProductions.1 what mpg is she averaging
@@dopemuffinz1000 she pretty much drives local only downtown LA stop and go traffic last time I saw about 21. Which is impressive because my Challenger gets 8 lol
@@MLProductions.1 that's crazy low compared to epa
FYI, it’s not a fair comparison. The Sentra is a SR trim with premium package and MSRP nearly $26000. The Elantra is the SEL trim without any package so the MSRP is about $22000. If you load the Elantra to the same price that’s gonna be much better than the Sentra
The Sentra is the best looking hands down
I like it too
This man drunk
Definitely the best looking in class. I do wish it had more powertrain options
@MAGA Elantra is garbage, Corolla is King
@MAGA You're the weird troll and please stop stalking me. Please stop watching the youtube videos I watch, creepy stalker.
Sentra has sport, at the back of the shifter - the little "-" button...
I bought the 2021 Nissan Sentra SR with premium package this past January 2021. Great car except for the horrible paint job. It looked great a few months ago, but it has so many tiny scratches and a hand full of paint chips it spoils my initial feeling about the car. I never owned a car that had its paint/clearcoat made so inferior and cheap. It really is disappointing that a brand new car in a matter of months looks like crap.
Yes Nissan skips out on the premium paint job on all there cars. I would suggest you get a full detail paint correction and then paint protection. A good wash, clay bar treatment, deep wax and apply a ceramic coating can benefit
Elantra without a doubt.
Elantra N is the one to get
Sentra wins for me.
How about Elantra driver's seat? Is it still too short as it used to be on the older versions of Sonata? I remember Nissan used to have more comfortable "full size" driver's seat than Hyundai, not that shallow.
This dude is bias toward the Elantra so whatever...he can't even get the name right, keep referring to the Sonata...LOL
I wish all Nissan cars had their anti gravity seats
I purchased the elantra n line it comes with the turbo. It comes with paddle shifters, leather sunroof and burnt orange with black trim and wheels.you can't hide in that car it stands out like. A sorethumb.it has a lot of other features. Three year free maintenance the grill and rear end are different.also comes with the stereo system.that didn't impress me much.it has the n line emblem on the front side and back..it's 28,000 thousand .for everything you get I'm a happy camper.oh there's also push button start ,you can remote start it also ,you don't even need your keys you can use a card .there's lots more my tablets going dead
The Sentra needs a turbo motor option
Hyundai For me Best Sports Design And Technology.... 😍🥰🇨🇦
The tail lights on new Hyundai new cars look like they’re from Cyberpunk 2077 especially the new Azera unfortunately we don’t have it here in North America
He is confused the sentra that same model has a sport button under the stick shifter,he should research these car a bit more
You are right it has a hidden button for sport mode
On the Elantra you can change the color of the lights across the dash board to any color a cool feature just like on the Mercedes
I like Sentra over every compact car. It’s just simply amazing
Even the Civic?
I will never buy a Nissan again. I hate cvt transmissions.
@@ARUclipsChannelwithNoName the new civic looks fat
@@Geno20916They all have them on base model except Mazda 3
Sentra - the Elantra looks odd to me
Frrr the grill on the Elantra looks ugly but besides that it looks good. I just got the Sentra and I love it !
@@user-vm4he3gk3c I actually think the rear end of the Elantra is ugly and the front looks good
Sr is the highest trim, and it does have a sport mode. Get your facts right before bashing the sentra.
Please do a elantra hybrid and corolla hybrid comparison 🙏
I like the Sentra's interior, but the CVT is a deal breaker for me. The elantra at least has a manual available.
It's the 2021 model it's not 2008 anymore... a lot of the most reliable cars in the market nowadays have CVTs transmission. That's just an excuse
Btw.... sentras have manual options too and sport mode as well... this guy didn't do much research on the sentra I guess
Sentra looks fabulous and premium
I’ve had issues with both vehicles. Mind you, they were rentals, and not personals.
Dude these are the newest top of the line in their class.. not some shitty rentals lol
I bought a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Luxury Hybrid a few months ago, and am absolutely blown away by the vehicle. The 6 speed auto transmission has lightning fast shifts, and the handling benefits from the fully independent rear suspension. Acceleration is excellent, due to the in line electric motor with its instant torque. I have the upgraded electronics package which is stunning, and I added a wireless adapter - $85 CAD - so I have wireless Android Auto. I'm averaging 4.8 litres per hundred kilometres with mostly short city trips - on the occasional highway jaunt i will actually get 3.9 L/100K. The Bose Audio with the sub woofer is as good or better than my home stereo, and the cabin is very well insulated against road noise. I just love this vehicle, and highly recommend it to everyone.
Both Cars are amazing value for money ... Elantra beats the Sentra with its features and variety of optional trims .... Hybrid , NLine 👍🏻
Good points
It not even a top trim for the Nissan, that Nissan look beautiful
Nissan top trim has a couple of more tech features- and the sentra isn’t fully loaded
Arsenal fans should not talk at all
I'm sure this generation most sentras sold will be the manual one.
The man has to fold himself in half to get into Sentra rear seat. How does it feel to be a giant among men?
Its hard
They both look nice but I’ll take an Elantra. Better yet, make it a Tucson.
What does the tucson offer that elantra doesn't? i think, U wud only be giving away the advantages of less weight, low seating position and sportier dynamics for nothing.
Elantra N Line and Elantra N will make ur jaws down. Nissan is sinking into the Pacific.
1000% agree with you
True
the N line is a real deal I’m quite confused what to buy but both of these cars are really good
I am in favor of the Elantra, after test driving both. However, it seems suspicious to have an ad for that particular Elantra in a video where you can compare two cars against each other.
That new elantra looks nice!
In Canada you can get a Sentra with a manual.
Paint on Nissan cars has never been a strong point. The Sentra is a the better deal just don't buy it in a dark color.
The sentra looks stunning, but it's dangerously slow and that's unacceptable
Test drive it, it is fast, just not good for racing light to light - only kids do that anyway lol
@@goregeegaming lol I'm not talking about racing. Lol it'll be easy for someone to get bullied while trying to enter the freeway with this.
@@kyron2092 I drive it on the highway everyday when I need to get in front of the highway bullies I just put it in sports mode, maybe mine came off the assembly line faster than others I dunno but this thing has enough. Also you need to take it on back roads it hugs like a bear a pretty high speeds!!! I should do my own review! lol
Its definitely not DANGEROUSLY slow. I have the 2020 and i have 0 problems in our 70mph highways.
@@spoonky85 these people that think this sentra is slow a morons not a sports car designed for fuel efficiency its 149hp is acceptable 👌
There’s is a sport mode in the Nissan Sentra. There’s is a button on the actual CTV transmission, facing the back side of the car.
So stinger steals the 3 circular vents, then the sentra steals the vents from the stinger. Copy of a copy.
Kia/Hyundai motors have copied literally every Japanese manufacturer. Lmao
@@vacuumlover1yes Elantra copied Civics fastback style
والله شي يقطع القلب السنترا حقتهم ما شاء الله مافي احلى منها والسنترا حقتنا الله يستر عليها ولو يمديني اجيب السنترا ذي للسعوديه بس
El Sentra está mucho mejor, como dijiste, el frente ese ve super bonito. Es elegante, atractivo y agresivo. Los rines que tiene creo que son 18'' y están super chidos y muy aerodinámicos.
If Nissan fixed their Transmission reliability, they would be more competitive. They have beautiful cars.
They have come along way from their terrible CVT transmission. I could say that nissan have done it.
@@fahalqa5209 yep, their new cvt is much better
Sentra for me
Thee manual transmission offer is actually opposite as of 2022 Only Sentra offers manual in base model despite what website says
Win the Super Bowl and drive off in a Hyundai.
-Kanye West.
Everyone loves to adopt new trends and totally front all the brands we spent trillions on. Ive driven both. That Elantra sits so odd inside. Its too low to the ground and doesnt line up with the dash board. While driving it feels like a toyota. They wanted to compete with the smooth transmission. butttttt....The Sentra is a road beast. Very high Rpms and it sits much higher off the ground. No nissan does not have smooth engines or transmissions but in sport you almost lightly tap the pedal cause it will jolt right away. Once Nissan fully redesigns and redesign Infiniti. Watch people flock.
There is a sport mode on the shifter
The sentra does have sport mode... its a buttle on the gear shifter @15:50
Elantra
Cant compete with 10/100k warranty. That alone shuts down the argument .
That’s a scam,,,if you don’t do all the maintenance with them when it’s time they won’t honor that warranty when it comes time to use it. Been there done that…won’t fall for,that scam again
I thought the SR was the highest trim: S at the bottom, SV in the middle, and SR at the top. Have things changed?
There’s an SR with the premium package, which he doesn’t have in the video
@@TheRailShooter well in the United States the sv with the premium package with the diamond stiched brown leather is arguably the highest trim
@@occckid123 I don’t think so. SV is missing a few features the SR w/ premium package has, and it’s cheaper. The SR is still the highest trim, based on cost & a few of the things that it has that the SV with premium package doesn’t have
@@TheRailShooter the sv premium is more expensive than the sr premium i thought here in the US. Its missing the bose audio system i believe but you get the diamond quilted seats and leather everywhere interior.
@@TheRailShooter i think they def need a sr premium with sv premium interior package.
Elantra is a much better car with more options. The fact that Nissan doesn’t have the driving modes is very disappointing.
😊 of course Sentra has a Sport mode -- it’s a little button on the back of the gear knob .... push the button and see the way it drives.... goosebumps
Does it make that big of a difference?
Actually, it does
@@deadsea98 Love the styling but think i will wait until HOPEFULLY they come out with a nismo trim.
Elentraaa is much much better 🔥🔥🔥
This isn't fair. The Elantra is miles/kilometers ahead of the Sentra. Design is personal but the driving characters, space, interior materials, and tech in the Elantra make the Sentra look 10 years outdated.
Hi Sam, how tall are you? i currently have a jetta 2012 and im looking forward to buy a Sentra SR 2020. Im 6.13 feet tall and im afraid the the sentra will feel a little bit cramped. Due to corona virus in my country i cant go and test the car! Thanks.
I am 6.2 :)
I have a 2020 sentra SR, im a solid 6', there is plenty of room.
This is between S.Korea vs. Japan, so i'll go for japanese cars because it's more reliable car and too fast too furious. Nissan ☝️😎
The Sentra has 44" of front legroom and the Elantra has 42.3". Don't know where you're getting the idea that the Elantra has more legroom. The Sentra also has "zero gravity" seats whereas the Elantra has pretty basic seats that most reviewers found kind of thin.
Elantra is way more luxurious looking and feeling
Sentra has a sport mode its a small button located on the shifter nob has a line across it
Sentra is better for me. But all both are beautiful.
I love Nissan but it had a strong past now, why is it not strong before? Hyundai is ok, but not the power of Nissan. I hope the Sentra car is strong, and the problem is the maintenance in it, not like Hyundai
Nissan has a long history of great cars. It’s just when Renault and Nissan joined together that Nissan quality dropped and just recently picked up again.
Tried an elantra last weekend and feels so cheap inside. This weekend I will try the sentra SR of course both cars with manual transmissions... I dont trust the CVTs...
This is exactly how I felt a few days ago when I went to test drive one. I am considering getting the limited one, but I decided to see what the new Sentra was like. I am really liking the exterior design. I also agree about being wary about the CVT but keep in mind Hyundai has many problems as well. Like most recently, the last gen Elantra was prone to catching on fire, and Hyundai had to pay out a class action lawsuit. The 2021 Hyundai Elantra just came out and it already has 3 recalls, one of which is an important safety recall which can cause injuries during an accident if not taken care of. So far the Sentra doesn't have any recalls. The Civic with an equal spec to both of these, costs more and the Corolla looks ugly. So there are really only 2 options for meand right now I am leaning towards the Sentra.
If it feels cheap inside then why are you shopping at that price point? Its not an expensive car.
@@Sinz_-fl9nj Because there are cars at a similar price range with a much better interior. The Accord is only $2k more and has a much better materials throughout
I own the 21 Sentra and my son has the 21 Elantra .
Mine is the sr premium pkg you said alot of untruths about the Sentra like it only has one standard way of driving it comes with a. Sport mode or eco the Sentra driver seat is not manual and try and resale a Elantra they don't hold their value at least not in the US
Unfortunately, not big review about driving dinamics, about gearbox
What's the color name of the hyandia elentra car? Love the color. Please let me know am ordering the car soon
You said in your video sonata made less noise when you were talking about Elantra.
Not the only mistake made in this review...He stuttered when talking of the Sentra calling it "Infinit...'
At what speed did you measure the interior noise of these cars?
14:44 I can hardly see the screen on the Sentra
I think sentra looks miles better but Elantra probably drives better, if only Nissan adds a turbo to the sentra!!
You know I loved the Sentra but the lack of performance is what made my mind on getting the Kia Forte gt plus 6 manual transmission
Turbos on low end cars like these usually suffer from terrible turbo lag
@@MrRtHemi We get the manual transmission on the Sentra S and SR trim in Canada, I do wish that it has a turbo version. I also like the Toyota Corolla SE Apex, but sadly it has no turbo either
which parka are you wearing? looks good
Toboggan
Tried both of them. Bought a Sentra SV.
Good luck with the CVT.
When a nissan drives better and sportier than the other car ,you like more the space general,when a nissan have more space than the other one, you like more the sportier driving...you just hate Nissan, nissan is far more beautiful and sportier and the best ,I have a lot of friends here in Europe with Kia's cars,they have a lot of problems especially in quality of their cars. you just hate nissan.
@MAGA alien Hyundai design fangirl
@MAGA ha ha ha, Hyundai, plastic interiors like chinese toys,all of them burn oil and their electrics are ha ha ha a fire joke
@MAGA???????
@MAGA ???????
@MAGAI don't understand,you first said me fangirl,i have my opinion ok?you defined me first,ok?
Manual is the way to go . Nissan automatic is a deal breaker.
@Samuel Hulan 14 (STUDENT) I think they should. But they are not in all global markets. Cheers.
that particular Sentra SR base, comes with leather steering wheel and leather shifter knob, also SR comes with leather seats! in SR premium package.... Some stuff/info is missed, sport button is on shift knob lol . if you doing car review, take some time and gather info. seems like this review were sponsored by Hyundai lol
I heard that elantra has a long display panel...why canada misses it?
That version he has doesnt has technology package
The limited gets the big infotainment screen but you can get the digital gauge cluster on the SEL and SEL plus trims
I had an Elantra... My friend at work had one too ...we both loved em'
Sentra looks way more beautiful than Elantra, it does share exterior lines with other Nissan cars, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Look at Mercedes CLA people call it mini CLS
When you get every option it feels like the Elantra is the better deal
I don't care if this old guy looks homeless, I love the straight forward honest reviews. Keep up the good work! 💙
Thank you
You just wanted to say that he looks homeless..
What was even the point of u saying that?.. he doesn’t look homeless
"Old Guy"? Let me guess - 20 something year old poster. lol
😂
Sentra looks way better
I still like my Nissan Sentra better it's a solid car looks also nicer than Elantra. Hyundai Elantra is a cheaper quality car in my opinion.
Lol cant even compare no more
The Hyundai elantra eats the New Nissan Sentra, absolutely annihilates the new Sentra, plus the elantra wont be an unreliable junk box like the junky Nissan
No thank you on the Sentra. Visited a Nissan dealership…initially saw a Sentra with body gaps (between the hood, bumper and headlights). I though maybe it was the only one…nope, all sentras in that lot. Some of the Kicks rear hatch was also uneven to the rear bumper.
Walked away.
RIP 90s Nissan.
If the Elantra is anywhere near as good as my 2007 Sonata it’s a winner. Fifteen years of driving with virtually no repairs.
Sentra for me ... SR trim of course
Sentra hands down
The Sentra looks pretty good. I would literally just buy it for the looks because the other car is ugly
“The other car” killed me lmao jajaja
You get blind spot cameras and the higher trim on the Elantra which you'll never get in the syndrome
