- 2021 Hyundai Elantra Limited Review featuring a fully loaded Elantra finished in this optional Red color. The 2021 Hyundai Elantra got fully redesigned and hopes to take on the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, & Mazda 3. See my 2021 Santa Fe Review: • 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe ...
I drove the 2020 Elantra last year and I was impressed with the comfort and refinement of that car. I'm pleased to see those qualities in this redesigned 2021 model but with better handling and features. The Hyundai Elantra is a great place to start when shopping in the compact car segment.

It's amazing to see the quality improvements over the years from this car that started out as a cheap lil car to an eye catching beauty
Yea they did a complete 180
That basically sums up Kia/Hyundai. They use to be cheap little crap boxes now they are actual competitors
Yup
Very excellent review. You always do a great job in identifying and highlighting exceptional vehicles. I greatly value your opinion on prospective new cars. Thanks.
I'm humbled by that James, Thank you!
That ambient lighting is a very cool feature for a car like this, great review also!
Thank you my friend!
Nice vid! If you get the hybrid, you also get fully independent rear suspension, a 6 speed dual clutch tranny replacing the CVT, and wonderful response from the peppy electric motor working with the gas engine. You also get 50+ MPG, which puts money in your pocket with every mile you drive. I bought mine in Feb 2023, and I just love it!
I had a 2021 Elantra as a loaner for a day and it was a base model. Pros: sexy, spacious, drives really well, never felt underpowered for city and slight highway driving. Tuned very nicely for what it is.
Cons: some parts of the interior felt cheap. I don’t mind hard plastics as long as they feel solid but I was surprised that the big centre arm handle was as creaky/moveable as it was. I love the design of it , just needs to be more solid.
Also, infotainment worked great except when playing my music through car play on my iPhone 8plus. On my 25 min drive home it cut out randomly many times, even when plugged in. Also minor gripe, but annoying with some of Hyundai’s new models they flipped the toggle for scrolling through songs through the steering wheel(aka now it’s push down to move to next song instead of pushing up)
Great review as always brother 👍👌
Ahh yes the music selection I always forget to mention that in these reviews 😅 it is so annoying that down is the next track but oh well some things will never make sense and we just need to roll with it
Nice review - in Canada the SEL is call Preferred and you loose the dual heating controls (base controls); but they give you the leather wheel and shifter and heated steering wheel instead. The digital dash is rare as you have to go to the Limited (called Ultimate here) plus a $2700 tech package on top of that.
good compact Sedan for a good price, I like it, thanks for the video Kevin.
No problem 👍
MMAAAAATTTTTEEEE! Lovin the drone and new camera angles in this review. 👍👍👏
Haha 😄 thank you very much my friend yea still need to practice more but I really do like this thing. Brings a different element to the videos.
@@MeynMotorGroup To have it so smooth first up is no mean feat, I think you're doing great! And I liked the view out the windscreen too, yeah man this is one of your best.
@@Excalabur50 I really appreciate that I'm just glad those shots added something to the vid. Hope all is well on your side
@@MeynMotorGroup I'm ok just pissed off cause we're in lockdown again
Oh damn sorry to hear that. They say things are getting worse in the states but no one's buying it. People probably think the Delta thing is BS so nobody is wearing masks and there are no lock downs here. That could change pretty soon tho
This new Elantra looks like a Lamborghini and Audi had a baby. I can see both style influences. This is a head turner! Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are Rocky stories of the Auto industry...I currently drive a 2018 Hyundai Elantra Limited. Even one of my friends, who owns a Toyota Corolla SE, is so jealous of the features my car offers. I'm looking to upgrade next year. Torn between the new Elantra Limited or Kia K5 GT-Line.
Thank you Kevin.
Since Hyundai owns Kia I always see Hyundai as more of the upscale division similar to Lexus an Toyota. Great review as always bro! 💯
Hyundai and Kia are about the same, Hyundai does tend to be more refined than Kia I agree and Kia is the slightly sportier variant but as of recently, Idk they both have started to feel similar and Kia is getting softer. Genesis is their true luxury brand or their "Lexus" if you will
I own a 2022 preferred sun and tech trim in canada. Got 22kmpl i.e 51.7 mpg if i convert to american standards. Initial days i wished for more power but with these soaring gas prices in recent days i feel i made a right decision.
Elantra N just announced literally few hours ago. I hope you can review them in near future
I hope so too or at least the N Line
Great look at this Hyundai, haven't really had much to do with Hyundai but have seen a few reviews on this here in Australia and some from countries with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car 🤣 they seem to be quiet a decent sedan. Love the way you look around for those pesky cops, thanks again Kevin. Brenton 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
haha you noticed that but yes def a great little sedan really enjoyed my time with it. Thanks again sir for the support!
@@MeynMotorGroup Yes we have the same problem here they hide in the bushes 👮♂️ I do,like the Sonarta N Line.
It's a sharp looking car I just hope it's not a paper tiger but a good long lasting sedan. I've been taking notice of new kia and Hyundai vehicles and they sure look great
Yea Im really impressed with their new vehicles for sure
I think the Korean carbuilders are on to something. Building a very good car for a reasonable price. My daughter bought a new Hyundai Tiburon against my advice. It was not super refined, but she drove it 180k with only general maintenance. Kind of reminds me of 40 years ago when the Japanese carbuilders used a similar formula to eat the American manufacturers lunch. Value is a hard thing to argue against. With that said, Honda and Toyota remain the master of making the best cars for the dollar from the least expensive all the way up in my opinion, how far Korean cars have come is pretty impressive. Great review Kevin, never know whats coming next, but it's always great
Hey thanks so much for stopping by sir. Yea I agree the company has really done a 180 but like with your daughter, there have been a lot of people that owned the early model Hyundais and Kias and they have held up.
Thanks again for watching, I appreciate the support!
Well Prime, that car was sold several years ago, at this time no one in my family drives a Hyundai, I am not aware of your information, but if its true, I am grateful that we were not affected.
Good job.. My guy Kevin.
Man I see so many of these now. I haven't seen one new Civic yet.
Thank you Moe! And of course I appreciate your support for all these years. I agree I see these a lot too they did great with this car
I saw a new Civic on the road yesterday, I didn't even know they were selling them already. Good looking car
@@MeynMotorGroup Always here to support. I remember when Savage geese gave you accolades. You are one the best out there
@@Argedis lol. I saw one yesterday but it was displayed as I passed a dealer. Really plain looking.
Good looking car but Hyundai's 2.0 NA has always been under powered compared to the competition. But at least it uses MPI so no having to worry about carbon build up.
Hyundai 2.0 - 147hp/132tq (Port Injected)
Mazda 2.0 - 155hp/148tq (Direct Injection)
Toyota 2.0 - 169hp/151tq (Port & Direct Injection)
Yes that is true on paper they have the worst power but I think you would like how it's tuned for the streets doesn't feel as bad as the numbers would suggest thankfully
If I purchase I’m going for The Limited.
Damn he got drone Aerial l shots now lol
I tried 😅 still got a long way to go need to find a better spot too
What kind of Engine Does this Car have ?
How would you compare this car to a 2021 Mazda 3?
Rides pretty similar as well as handling. Base engine in the 3 seems quicker and material choices are better in the 3. Elantra is more efficient, cheaper to buy, and offers more features especially as standard
Ah yes RUclips notis coming late as always
Yea bro RUclips hates me but oh well
@@MeynMotorGroup wait when did you upload this cuz it says two days ago on the vid but on your channel it says it came out 40 mins ago
Yea this vid was 2 days ago I just posted a buyers guide vid today 40 min ago
@@MeynMotorGroup ohhh ok
The only reason why the hybrid system is attractive to me is the multi link, cooled seats and memory seats. I just don't know if it's worth paying over 3k for it.
Negotiate that price down
@@ultragoldcoin8780 In today's car market? You serious?
@@jerbsherb4391 yes, you can still, not by much.
Go Wolfpack!
Hyundai and Kia kill it on design and standard equipment. Due to their issues with engine 🔥, I would go with this naturally aspirated engine rather than any of their GDI turbo engines
Yea I def agree they offer a lot of standard features and undercut the competition. To be fair, regarding car fires, bmw, Mercedes, porsche, Ferrari, and a lot of other brands have had issues with fires....but somehow some way that gets buried in the media and we never hear about it after. I mean no car should catch on fire it really sucks but I'm just saying, people should bring to attention the mishaps these other brands have had as well
Kia really is starting to bring it in terms of design the last few years. Even digging that new logo they're rolling out on their '22 line of cars.
Agreed
Can someone explain to me how Kia is able to lease cars so cheap? I’ve seen it where it’s just $2k down and like $179 per month which is ridiculously cheap.
It equates to about $250 a month that's inline with the competition but I saw on Hyundais website that was only for SE trim. If you could get a well equipped SEL that's not so bad
That's subjective. It's also $2899 down which is nearly $3k.
Leasing a car is the worst and most expensive way to get a car.
Car companies are not stupid, they never lose money on a lease. In 36 months you would have paid $9,343. The car will not have gone down in value more than that, because the car companies would lose money if it did. When they get the car back, you will have paid them more than the car has depreciated during that time.
Not only are you paying for depreciation you are essentially borrowing money at an ridiculously high interest rate and because the Federal Trade Commission has determined that this is not a debt, there is no federal disclosure involved. This is why the 'buyout' never equals the original price the minus the $ you paid.
Not to mention you'll get charged for excess wear & tear + excess mileage and if you decline the buyout you have no car to show for the $9k you spent on a $19k car.
The Korean auto industry seems to be trying to win over Japanese car buyers by giving you a decent bang for your buck
Yea for sure they def undercut the competition and offer a lot of standard features.
People have lots of complains regarding electornic for this model.. i hope they fix everything by 2022
Idk never heard anything about it
I would still go with a Toyota for a quality but Koreans actually gave an entry level car a good look, koreans are doing well with all their designs right now. Except the Ioniq lol The current corolla looks like a straight cheap hooptie compared to this and the new civic
Yea Ioniq looks dumb as hell lol and I liked the Corolla I thought it looked cool 😅 I just don't like how Toyota doesn't like to put an engine cover on some of their cars. But I do prefer the mature look of the new Civic, Jetta, and Forte
@@MeynMotorGroup Look at a corolla hybrid. Look how cheap that things looks
Oh it's the wheels on the Hybrids that always makes them look bad they put those hub caps on
Not a Toyota Fan.
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hey bro thanks again for stopping by on another one!
@@MeynMotorGroup 🤝👍🏾👍🏾
Every time I consider a Kia/Hyundai there's always a new recall 😅 cool car nonetheless
I def understand it does suck to hear about the recalls. To be fair tho BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Ferrari and other brands had a ton of issues but got buried in the media for whatever reason
@@MeynMotorGroup Exactly! Someone else finally said it! 👏🏾👏🏾
Yea every one of those brands I mentioned have caught on fire 😅 I mean don't get me wrong it's terrible and this should never happen but it's true all these cars have caught on fire or have the risk to but Hyundai Kia seem to be the only 2 companies that actually get flack for it, none of the other companies have an issue people still have posters of those cars on their walls
Not true.
*exterior reminds me of a Saturn* lol...
I dont even know what a Saturn looks like anymore been too long
Hyundai/Kia is hungry... competition is good for everyone
For sure! I'm really glad consumers have many great choices
I see smoke! Better check the engine.
Yo chill 😅😂
Kia interior looking better than Toyota’s these days crazy
Yea love the layout
