2021 Elantra Limited is not good value for money. Limited costs over 26K before taxes and fees and yet has only 147 HP, cheap semi-independent suspension, no damped glovebox, and only driver's side window has one touch. Base Corolla L costs 20K and has fully independent suspension, one touch on all 4 windows, and a damped glovebox.
@@braetonwilson4296 It’s a good value for the features you get at the Limited, and the features you listed on the base Corolla are irrelevant to most people especially those who shop for base trim compact sedans. The Elantra SE has better safety tech like Lane centering and Hyundai’s advanced Blind Spot/Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist technologies than the Corolla L. Now, I agree LED headlights should be standard but that’s the only edge the Corolla has over the Elantra.
@@cjsgamingworld7568 Corolla L also has lane centering, it's standard on all trims. You're wrong, LED lights is not the only edge that Corolla has over 2021 Elantra. Multi-link independent rear suspension makes a huge difference to handling and ride quality and Corolla has that in all trims and Elantra doesn't, not even Elantra Limited has IRS. Corolla SE, which is still a lot cheaper than Elantra Limited, has 22 more horsepower than Elantra Limited. Corolla sport trims have a physical first gear in their CVT, improving reliability and off the line acceleration. 2021 Elantra doesn't have that. Corolla has several pluses over Elantra.
I recently got a ‘23 elantra SEL with the convenience package. I love the 10” screens and the ride quality is so good and it’s nice and quiet inside. It’s a lot of car for a bargain price.
I rented one yesterday and still have it for a business trip. I like the new Elantra a lot the tech is great and the gas millage is incredible. This is a great commuter car. I would and do personally recommend it.
Thats is a very sharp car I love the rear its aggressive looking. Hyundai and Kia are killing it. They are producing the best cars for the money by far.
my family has always driven honda’s, and I currently drive a civic myself, even though I’m not in the market for a new car I do like looking at new ones and I must say, I might have to get a hyundai next time!
I love your reviews, but you keep harping on "hard touch plastic", "cost cutting" or 'cheap" when the competition in this price point isn't any better. If you were reviewing a $35k+ car, you'd have a point. The Elantra starts at $20k. What I hate about this generation is that there's no trim level that checks all the feature boxes. Although I'd agree the hybrid limited is probably the way to go. Even the N's don't check all the boxes.
I just bought a 2020 Elantra last month, and I love it. I live in Atlanta, and it’s a great commuter car. I do mostly highway driving and average around 35-40 mpg. I’ve filled the tank twice since I’ve had it. Lol.
@@bextar6365 If it’s at a low price, then yes. Though, to have the amount of hard plastic this Elantra has at $26500 is too much. Now, when it comes to plastic on the dash, I’m less concerned but I definitely want soft touch on the front door panels.
@@bextar6365 Be a smart ass if you want, fact of the matter is the car should not have the amount of hard plastic that it does given its price. If they want go lower end with the materials, they should keep the price low end in the low 20s, not upper mid 20s.
@@cjsgamingworld7568 Guess you never owned a car with a stamped steel dash and window surrounds, including Cadillac and Lincoln. People / owners got bye just fine.
Funny enough, I checked on Tire Rack (early Jan 2021) and you can get Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4's on the Elantra Limited in 225/45ZR17's or the SEL's 205/55ZR16 in a Y (186mph) speed rating for, and y'all can update this in the future, $137.99 per tire. Make it so, number one.
I kinda like the front end, althought I would've integrated the headlights into the grill completely like the 2022 Tucson. However, the sides are unapealling to me, especially the C pillar. I still prefer the 2017-18 Elantra because it looks more cohesive, uniform and elegant.
I have 2017 Elantra, (drag coefficient 0.27) I got 55+ mpg going across town in slow and go at 45 to 55 mpg with out stopping. Filled up just before freeway and reset miles per gallon counter. Also on 120 mile trip same thing fill and zero just before getting on the freeway, I got 44+ mpg at 78 miles per hour, two or three people with AC on. Multiple times. I we all went 55 mile per hour many cars would get 55 + all the time.
Back in the day, people used to buy ‘luxury brands’ because they came with premium features. Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infinity and Acura were known for the best safety and luxury features but nowadays, ‘economy cars’ have all those features for a quarter of the money. Even the interior space is the same or better. Then you add great gas mileage and warranty, buying luxury brands is overrated.
Never really like Hyundai but my god what ever Hyundai did to fix up their Elantra's and sonata's need to keep it up because the gas Elantra has such an amazing gorgeous interior and feels and looks very very luxury especially the Mercedes looking gauge cluster
In Canada, the 2021 Elantra Hybrid Ultimate is the top trim... but only comes with 16x6.5J alloy wheels that are black (not the nice two tone ones) and *no* Bose stereo, just a regular six speaker one, and *no* cooled seats, only the heated fronts. Generally it's nice, except for its wheels.
Who cares?! Now and days you can buy after market led lights. Doesn't cost much to change it. But let's not forget, Corolla was late for the party to offer Android Auto and Apple Carplay.

My 3 week old 2023 Elantra SEL started alarming Forward Collison assist warning and radar blocked after 500 miles. There is nothing obviously blocking either camera. The dealership won't agree to look at the car for another 3.5 weeks. I have to be in driving and the alarm starts at 0.5 miles. every time. I then have to go into the touchscreen and disable the FCA while I am driving. This is beyond unacceptable in a car brand new car that promotes technology as a star feature!
I've heard that Hyundai has the best warranty but I've also heard that you need it because of more problems. I wish Toyota would put the sexy bigger wheel on their Corolla Hybrid. The Corolla Hybrid wheel looks like a cheap throw in. Props to Hyundai for doing that.
The limited trim does have it. However, if you want to stay a bit below that budget and get many of the same features you can get the SEL trim w/convenience package (~$900 more than base SEL) which adds the radar module to the vehicle allowing for stop and go adaptive cruise control and cyclist/junction avoidance to the pedestrian avoidance that the base trim has. It doesn't have full HDA (i.e. automatic speed limit changing, etc.) which my folk's Limited Palisade has, but it has many of the core features (lane following assist, stop & go cruise control). So it comes down to whether the cost of the limited (and all else it includes) is worth it for the full HDA or whether you want to save a few thousand and go with a nearly complete HDA system (again the only significant difference between driving the two systems is the auto-speed limit change on the HDA from my experience)
@@MichaelBuckley284 thanks for the thorough reply regarding Highway Drive Assist. What is your experience with the lane-centering abilities? Does the car confidently keep you centered in-lane?
@@R56Cooper This is where it gets a bit more tricky. I have found that the HDA equipped Palisade does better at handling sharper curves, but will pass it off to you if it is more than a light bend in the road. Now, whether this is attributable to HDA, or in my suspicion, more likely due to fact that the camera module that reads the lanes is higher up in an suv than a sedan, is anyone's guess. But, where I think it matters most, that being long stretches of straight road with mild bends it does a great job of keeping you centered! For both HDA or lane keeping assist options. To note, the ideal way to take a curve (using the apex of a curve) is not something that either system will do well, it's going to feel a bit less controlled than if you took the curve yourself, but not horribly so. But since you deal with sharp curves not nearly as often as straight stretches of highway, I don't think it is that much of a chore to navigate those yourself and let the system handle the rest. Both systems do their chief task of making driving long stretches more enjoyable
Give it time yet, these cars arent proven yet in terms of reliability for the long term over other options, if they do then they are probably the best buy at this price point. In terms of sales they arent in the top categories yet so they havent taken over anything yet
A Civic can never beat the technology of the Elantra! The styling is more bold and in your face. Its giving me Audi A7 vibes. Which I'm not surprised. Hyundai designers and engineers are German.
You thought the hybrid would be slower than the regular one because the hybrid lost all electric power while you were pushing it on the winding road and it was running alone with 1.6 engine. The hybrid should be faster in regular situations as it has more torque:)
We need to see if these new gen hyundais are reliable in the long run, 100k+ miles and more. Their older cars were to know to fall apart at higher miles compared to honda and toyota. They stepped up their game in the looks hopefully they did for the reliability. All this brand needs is a V8 sedan and a V8 option for their SUV then they can be for real
Can someone please tell me the difference between the Elantra hybrid and the hybrid limited. Is it worth getting the limited version over the standard hybrid model???
The new Elantra looks sleek, but there are a lot of obvious cost cutting details (not all windows automatic, cheap cloth box, no air vents in the backseat) which make the hole car less attractive as it seems in the first place. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to the sibling i30 which we will get in a few years in Europe. Compared to the new Elantra, the current i30 looks outdated inside.
They cost cut in the US Market. In Korea, they do offer rear vents and heated rear seats in the new Elantra (called Avante in Korea). Which was first offered in the 5th generation Elantra. They did the same thing to the Kia K5. We get analog dash and tradition shifter. While the Korean market gets the full digital dash and rotary shift knob. It's all a marketing strategy to keep the cars affordable for the US market.

@@MichaelBuckley284 thanks for the thorough reply regarding Highway Drive Assist. What is your experience with the lane-centering abilities? Does the car confidently keep you centered in-lane?
@@R56Cooper This is where it gets a bit more tricky. I have found that the HDA equipped Palisade does better at handling sharper curves, but will pass it off to you if it is more than a light bend in the road. Now, whether this is attributable to HDA, or in my suspicion, more likely due to fact that the camera module that reads the lanes is higher up in an suv than a sedan, is anyone's guess. But, where I think it matters most, that being long stretches of straight road with mild bends it does a great job of keeping you centered! For both HDA or lane keeping assist options. To note, the ideal way to take a curve (using the apex of a curve) is not something that either system will do well, it's going to feel a bit less controlled than if you took the curve yourself, but not horribly so. But since you deal with sharp curves not nearly as often as straight stretches of highway, I don't think it is that much of a chore to navigate those yourself and let the system handle the rest. Both systems do their chief task of making driving long stretches more enjoyable
Hyundai kia taking over the world. Best value hands down
Give it time yet, these cars arent proven yet in terms of reliability for the long term over other options, if they do then they are probably the best buy at this price point. In terms of sales they arent in the top categories yet so they havent taken over anything yet
@MAGA About all those defective engines over the last decade? lol
@MAGA why are you being weird? Do they pay you to brown nose on their behalf? I hope your being paid by them at least
3rd biggest car maker after Toyota and Volkswagen, that's all I gonna say! #HyundaiTheBest
@@paladin3116 I wouldn't doubt it. Paid shills for various companies are all over social media.
Nice to see Alex
Shut your face😈
Best intro music ever
The interior and exterior of this car for some reason reminds me of my 2020 Civic.
I really don't see how this looks like a civic, this looks very over styled and ugly in my opinion
A Civic can never beat the technology of the Elantra! The styling is more bold and in your face. Its giving me Audi A7 vibes. Which I'm not surprised. Hyundai designers and engineers are German.
@@Tritonal92 Exactly, even the 2019-2020 Elantras look better than this... love me a 2018 Elantra
Fast back Civic with sharp anguls and creases
It's a video on the 2021 Accord coming?
You thought the hybrid would be slower than the regular one because the hybrid lost all electric power while you were pushing it on the winding road and it was running alone with 1.6 engine. The hybrid should be faster in regular situations as it has more torque:)
We need to see if these new gen hyundais are reliable in the long run, 100k+ miles and more. Their older cars were to know to fall apart at higher miles compared to honda and toyota. They stepped up their game in the looks hopefully they did for the reliability. All this brand needs is a V8 sedan and a V8 option for their SUV then they can be for real
@MAGA there old gen cars are known to fall into pieces at high mileage, they were just a cheap quality car
Someone is stuck in the 90s time warp..smdh roll 🙄
@@jraheemjefcoat429 triggered
Can someone please tell me the difference between the Elantra hybrid and the hybrid limited. Is it worth getting the limited version over the standard hybrid model???
Keen to see a comparison with honda insight 2022
The new Elantra looks sleek, but there are a lot of obvious cost cutting details (not all windows automatic, cheap cloth box, no air vents in the backseat) which make the hole car less attractive as it seems in the first place. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to the sibling i30 which we will get in a few years in Europe. Compared to the new Elantra, the current i30 looks outdated inside.
They cost cut in the US Market. In Korea, they do offer rear vents and heated rear seats in the new Elantra (called Avante in Korea). Which was first offered in the 5th generation Elantra. They did the same thing to the Kia K5. We get analog dash and tradition shifter. While the Korean market gets the full digital dash and rotary shift knob. It's all a marketing strategy to keep the cars affordable for the US market.
0:40 a wild alex appears!
Too bad you can't get the base model with the manual transmission that would be a super deal, and no worries about the CVT.
I'm surprised you're watching a dark skinned nonwhite reviewer like Redline Reviews. You've posted racist comments in the past, stating how whyte people are superior and mocking nonwhites.
@@braetonwilson4296 There is no such thing as racism, that is a confabulated term coined by the l!ttle hats. Asians aren't much of a problem of course are they?
@@watershed44 Using negative stereotypes to belittle, insult, and put down people of a different skin color is racism and you've made such racist comments in the past.
You definitely would not like a taste of your medicine. If people used negative stereotypes of whytes to insult you, you wouldn't like it. So why do it to others. Shame on you. I agree that Asians (Chinese, Indians, Filipinos, Koreans etc.) aren't much of a problem.
@@braetonwilson4296 Take a hike buddy, read the 1790 Naturalization Act, the FIRST immigration act passed in the USA. The bottom line is that unless you are a white European you shouldn't even be in the USA.
And preferring to be surrounded by your own race is 100% natural, no matter which race you belong to, ask the Japanese, Chinese, Indians, ect. Notice how all these races have their own homogeneous nations but somehow the white European no longer does, why is that I wonder...little hats know.
And no they are not white Europeans.
@@braetonwilson4296 I don't give a rats butt what somebody thinks of my race, call me a cracker, honkey, whitey, whatever, it doesn't matter to me. Why? Because the white race is the most noble on Earth, and the most innovative, productive, and creative as well. Not to mention the most benevolent. History proves it.
Cool intro music.
It's terrible bruh
That weird circle thing seems a stupid designed feature, it should be a screen for a camera for the drivers side mirror or something, so when you turn on the left signal, you can see who is in your blind spot and it shows up where that circle thing is.
The circle is a drive mode button selector for the N-Line DCT version. Just blank on the other trims.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 they said it was for decoration.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 From 7:49-7:52 Hey said that according to Hyundai it’s for design.
@@bradleymeyer9775 Trust me. Look up 2021 hyundai Elantra (Avante) N-Line. That circle piece is a drive mode for the N-Line Elantra with a dual clutch transmission.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 well they should have left it blank or maybe add another screen or made that drive mode selector available on all rims, I think it’s weird just being there.
I'd go for the gas , when you start a hybrid it's just not as satisfying as the gas version.
5:30 I'm getting '02 Acura TL Type-S vibes from that speedometer...
the rear is beautiful. the front is almost as cat fish as the sonata
I believe you get memory seats in gas version via the the main screen
Hyundai kia for world domination. Only thing left is an entry into formula one . They need engine suppliers
Elantra should've gotten a horsepower boost.
That’s why the n line and N mode exist
Shut your face😈
I think the small screen on the left, will be the camera rearview mirror.
It the drive mode button for N-Line auto.
wow.. this car looks so sexy. saw it on road in the night, man... i thought it was some sports car
Needs new more fuel efficient turbo engines and full spec (features + technology) from S.Korea. Still unsure about the design though!
What is the circle next to the gauges????
Watching your video, I now know why that "oh shit" handle on the passenger side is there. Makes it more ergonomic when using that 10.25" screen.
How many airbags?
Shut your face😈
Designers' obsession with triangles ended up with a weirdo
Only thing now Hyundai has to improve is their dealerships.
I will Hyndai would sell a Plug In Hybrid Elantra. With 280 HP.
Where? Nonsense! Only the Santa Fe will get a Plug-in version with 265 HP! Do your research and improve your grammar, please!
18:00 it that cvt already whining. I'll be keeping and eye on how reliable that cvt is.
it’s a cvt not going to be reliable like a standard transmission
I bet it's a great car, I just hate how it looks inside and out, specially the c pillar, inside and out.
Wish these weren't so expensive in my country - about $40,000 USD for the range topping 1.6T. You don't even get the 10 year, 100K mile warranty either.
No shorts?
They should get raid of the dents on the side and it will look better 🧐
Agreed
I think it takes off like a boat, handles like a dream, and is probably as reliable as a 3 dollar hooker. So take your bets, take your bets lol.
can you please review the new escalade
