I finally saw another one out in the wild the other day. It was the first one other than my own that I've seen. It's a gem and it's super rare which I think is awesome. I've know about these cars for about 3 months, and have owned mine for just under 1 month. So in all that time, I've only seen ONE other one and that was just this past weekend.
Here down in Australia I get lots of compliments everywhere we go. Even have had people waiving at me to rev it up in traffic. I could go on and on on the positives but I think the most important thing that keeps being missed is AVAILABILITY. Down here we didn’t have to deal with dealer markups and which was amazing. The fact that people can have this level of a car without paying $30k in dealer markups is huge. I stand on that. Great video 🙌🙏
I agree. What a great little sports car Hyundai made! I've only had mine for a week. Today, I took it to the North Georgia mountains to find some fun roads and test out the handling. OMG! This car is a beast on these mountain roads! I've had a lot of cars over the years, a corvette, a 944 turbo s, etc. This car was easily the most fun and best handling car I ever drove through these mountains. It begs you to push it, and the DCT transmission is so, so good. I had a blast in it! My only complaint after spending 6 hours driving around all over the place is that the seats did start to feel a little uncomfortable to me towards the end of the day. It could just be my body type and my age, though. 😄 But what a great corner carving machine it is...and plenty of power too!
Solid video. It really is amazing how many people that ask about it. I have had fast food workers tell me they love it. Have been at the shops and caught people looking over it wondering what it is.
Even though I've never driven the EN, The fact that it has 7 different individual custom modes is phenomenal. Generally, cars with that level of performance adjustability are probably triple the price of the EN. Having 2-3 different levels of aggression for the engine, trans, dampers, steering, exhaust, ESC, and LSD is on par with cars like the new M4 comp or CT5 V Blackwing. The ability customize all of those settings to my girlfriend's specific liking, and then programming it into one of the 2 blue N buttons on the steering wheel is fantastic. I'd probably initially set it up for her with the steering, dampers, ESC and LSD in the least aggressive setting, The exhaust in sport, and the Engine and DCT in full race. And then ask her if she could change anything about the way the car drives what would it be? If she tells me that the exhaust is too loud and the steering feels way too light, then BOOM... Switch her preset exhaust to normal, and the steering into sport. And program that set up into that N button on the steering wheel, So whenever she gets in the car after I've been driving it, she just pushes the N button and away she goes. I know I've written a lot, But I can't stress enough how the real world application of the versatility I just mentioned appeals to me and mine. Enjoy the car bro!!
I definitely agree with all the points you made. The dual personality is the best. I'll drive to work in eco mode bumping some music but when I get stopped at a light and I'm the first car I cant help but turn the music down, put it in N mode and punch it. Once I get a good giggle I can just put right back in eco. Sometimes I like to see just how high I can get the MPGs. My record is 39.2mpg on a 25 mile trip. Mostly highway doing the speed limit and coasting to stop lights from a half mile back lol.
I've done ~43 MPG over a 60 mile trip though a twisting canyon road and straight highway. The performance and economical capabilities of the car is just amazing, I absolutely love it as well.
I used to have a 2013 Hyundai Genesis coupe, everyone talked mad stuff about it. I loved it definitely going to test drive this N very soon & hopefully purchase it
Great video! Keep making more videos about the car. I also know what you mean, my coworker say they see people passing by our work place and taking pictures of my car also.
I seen this car in person it’s really rare in my area I finally got to hear it this past weekend couldn’t believe how good this thing sounds I was test driving a Lincoln Corsair lol
For me, the eLSD, and the trunk cargo capacity. Weekly grocery shopping with a family of 4 is no issue, especially compared to the Nissan Murano SUV we had before.
I like the rear view camera. I know that may not be special, but it's way better than the one in the 2019 Sonata I came from. Trunk Space is nice. Really only thing I don't like about the car is that there aren't any rear cup holders. I also wish there was a way to get the car to start in ECO mode.
I have been wanting an Elantra N or Kona N for a long time... unfortunately, the roads in my city are verrrrrry slippery and driving a FWD car is not fun! Also, i am 194cm tall and am big..both cars are tiny 😢 the Trackhawk is killing me with the amount of fuel and maintenance it requires. I need another daily next to it😅
Awesome vid as usual. Would have to agree with the 2 faced side of these cars! Love it for that. Must say our seats here in Aus are more 'Premium' and comfortable but do eat a lot into rear leg space.
Thank you! Yes, as much as I dislike the seats at times because they’re so bolstered, being thinner does have a nice benefit of creating more rear legroom.
One of my concern prevent me purchase this car is the highways driving. So is it really not noisy and comfortable. We have here in Dubai too much highways traveling so again i need ur inputs. Thanks for ur vedio.
It sounds like you are talking about the side markers? In which case, yes, the difference would be due to laws and requirements that differ in each country, although I do not know specifically what the differences are
My wife really wants one and man when i test drive it i was amazed im a RCF owner and thats a fun smooth car to drive but the N is just amazingly fun with such great character and presence im just worried on dealing with the warranty when i get it for my wife i heard so much horror stories how Hyundai dealership are just awful at taking care of your car when it need to be service
It really is a crazy fun car. I get the hesitation. It scared me and still does sometimes, but it’s really all about which dealership you go to. Some are terrible, but I’ve heard plenty of people say theirs is great. The car is worth the chance to me personally.
For all you ppl watching this video think he’s blahing well you in for a rude awakening that car is all what he say it is I was blown away when I test drove one
@@n-power-automotive yea it’s a great car bro I’m not downing it trust me that’s crazy for the bang for the Buck I just wish it was a awd but that’s a magical it pops almost as loud as my 2016 bmw 535i bro I’m impressed af
That is really strange if you’re not driving it 24/7 in N Mode and super heavy on the throttle. I’m curious though, are you basing it off of the car’s MPG gauge on the dash or are you calculating it on your own?

I’ve seen maybe a total of 5 on the road and I’ve owned mine for almost a full year. They are rare to see still.

I missed the all legs bit, makes sense the fit is similar, at 3 inches taller I'm much more torso length than legs
I wish I knew about this before I got my Toyota Corolla XSE hatchback.
Great video! Keep making more videos about the car. I also know what you mean, my coworker say they see people passing by our work place and taking pictures of my car also.
Thank you, I definitely will!
I seen this car in person it’s really rare in my area I finally got to hear it this past weekend couldn’t believe how good this thing sounds
I was test driving a Lincoln Corsair lol
I think it’s a lot better looking and sounding in person!
My 2023 EN performance blue get lots of attention too (Puerto Rico) love my car , love the handling
I bet it does!
For me, the eLSD, and the trunk cargo capacity. Weekly grocery shopping with a family of 4 is no issue, especially compared to the Nissan Murano SUV we had before.
Absolutely! The eLSD and trunk space are both amazing features.

I forgot all about the lack of cup holders! And no armrest in the back either!!!
Amazing car!!!
Thanks!

Only thing I find weird is the American ones have orange in the headlight. Australia doesn’t our indicator is in the bumper
I’m assuming it’s some sort of US DOT requirement.

@@n-power-automotive Sounds great I'll definitely surprised her with it your videos are great appreciate it
@@princeguerrier9050 you’re welcome! And I hope your wife loves the car!
For all you ppl watching this video think he’s blahing well you in for a rude awakening that car is all what he say it is I was blown away when I test drove one
Thank you! It’s mostly my video comparing my Elantra N to my previous car, a Honda Accord Sport 2.0T, that I get the hate.
Hey 😀 What fuel octane do u use and why?
93 octane only. Reason is better performance and a cleaner burn.
Why did you blur the NGS button?
I didn’t. It must be because the text on the button is so small the GoPro can’t focus clearly on it.
Day I went home with mine. I had 7 people stop me and ask about it.
Nice!
It’s a nice car who likes who doesn’t mind fwd but rwd is better for street racing
I’m not really a street racer so I guess I’m fine then.
@@n-power-automotive yea it’s a great car bro I’m not downing it trust me that’s crazy for the bang for the Buck I just wish it was a awd but that’s a magical it pops almost as loud as my 2016 bmw 535i bro I’m impressed af
For some reason, no matter how I drive, I can’t get over 20 mpg in my Elantra N.
You got a heavy foot sir, in Nmode i get 15 driving fast but if you wanna try to hypermile, you can get 38-42
That is really strange if you’re not driving it 24/7 in N Mode and super heavy on the throttle. I’m curious though, are you basing it off of the car’s MPG gauge on the dash or are you calculating it on your own?
