I rented a 2024 non hybrid and drove from Florida to New York and it was a very nice car that got around 44mpg on the highway and I averaged 87mph. Only filled up on gas 2 1/2 times. They definitely worked on the sound insulation it’s a very quiet car. Stock sound system is excellent. Suspension and steering is smooth. The car is significant longer and wider compared to the last gen and fit 4 people comfortably, I like how the front seats can be set back far and you can fully extend and rest your legs if you take a rest on a roadtrip. But it has several bummers to me. It is significantly slower compared to the Corolla/Civic. No radar cruise control/No electronic parking brake. The 2020 Corollas have that.. Once you have it you don’t want to go back. It’s nice to have in heavy traffic/long road trips. Cup holders that don’t fit most cups. Only 2 upfront and 2 in the rear seat, The Corolla has 8 cup holders. The seats are uncomfortable, your butt and back will hurt within 4 hours and your right elbow as a driver has no arm rest. The center console sits too far back.
Fun fact - the first vehicle I ever rented was previous gen Elantra! Was flying through DFW for a job interview and the company rented me something “intermediate” and it was this or an EcoSport…easy choice
I had an Elantra rental as well and absolutely loved it. Was surprisingly well made, drove really nicely with some great low end torque, and really spacious interior for it's size.
Never thought I would have to say this but I appreciate the little bit of plastic above the driver's screen, goes a long way to making it feel nicer than "tablet slapped on the dash" look of all the other Hyundai refreshed interiors 😂
Sat in one of these recently and was blown away by how nice it was. For most people who can't even name what makes their Audi better than an Elantra other than the badge, this is all the car most people need. And it's super efficient. Civic definitely felt better to handle though and that's my main gripe against it, but it certainly does better than all its other hybrid competitors otherwise.
It's amazing how much Hyundai's interiors have improved. Wouldn't say I'm a massive fan of the exterior design, but it still seems like a fairly proper car
The car has to be locked in order for the auto trunk feature where you stand next to it to work. it will work if the car is on or off, just has to be locked
For the past year I've gamified mpg on my V6 RXL, and gone from 19.2 mpg to 25 currently. After a while it becomes reflexive to drive smoooooooooooth. I'm now a passenger-free limo driver.
My short review: Elantra is better looking than sonata just because geometrical shape design. But if y’all looking to get either one, I recommend higher trim sonata just cuz it’s got 360 cam, HUD, blind spot cam, and rev cam. Elantra has on,y rev (rear view) cam, and blind spot cam. Elantra hybrid limited is for those who desperately need a car and don’t care about techs, and sonata is for those who can be patient enough to save some and buy it.
@DudeBoss-gn5pq its very reliable. I've had it for a year now, and I haven't even had to do any fixes all I did was replace the headlight light bulb because I wanted them LED, the rest of the car is honestly is great condition I woukd recommend this vehicle
I had a 2023 n line and traded back to a 2021 Veloster n. The DCT in the n line is just too sluggish and really poor in day to day traffic. Always seemed confused and would over rev on gear shifts due to clutch slip
Nice video. The blue at $26,000 is still a very decent price for a 50mpg hybrid. Maybe once interest rates come down to sane level it will be worth a look. Hyandai is offering a 1.99APR right now for WELL qualified buyers😂
I think having the A/C on for a hybrid is better. I am not sure if Hyundai uses a similar system, but in Toyota and Ford's hybrid, the AC has to be on to keep the battery cool. Otherwise, the MPG and lifespan of the battery decreases.
Really wish they could've gone with a clamshell hood--the front clip lines are kind of a mess as-is--but that would've been a VERY expensive thing to do for this type of car. Otherwise, in a saner world, this and other cars like it--Corolla hybrid, Civic hybrid--would be the best-selling cars in the country! My brother has one of these--a '22 Blue trim--and I have a '20 Sonata hybrid Blue; I'm getting ~49mpg on my own calculation over the last 25k miles.
13:07 It's crazy how much wheel and tire packages affect MPGs. Just look at Honda base model vs Sport trims. Usually go up 2" in wheel size and lose around 5 MPG combined. Not worth it.
my 2202 elantra ultimate + tech two tone is almost at 35000km now. No issues so far, very fuel efficient. You can get up to 50~mpg if you cruise at 80-90 km/hr. really nice. it's got adequate power ( i wish i had 50-100 more hp) but it shines in corners and twisted roads. one thing is that the road noise does get loud beryond 100 km/hr. high speed noise damp isn't great.
Interesting that they went with the DCT rather than the regular plain autos they put in their other hybrids. Hyundai/Kia don't have a good track record with their DCTs right now lol. Hoping this one doesn't suffer the same fate.
This make think of getting this kind of car as a daily, with say a Miata Club as the fun car. A 2023 Elantra Hybrid Limited is $27k at my local dealer.
@13:30 as a former driving instructor, that underhand inside wheel grip bothers me. You crash or some fool hits you and you're punching yourself in the face, with the airbag explosion.
Both great cars, I believe this is cheaper and as you know it is most definitely not missing any features the civic has. Usually the Korean’s put more features.
@@PhuGamer yeah I wish there was some. Ioniq 6 limited had it. It would’ve given more luxury feel in the front and back. I’m really considering Hyundai if Toyota doesn’t work out in my area’s dealership. The standard 360 cam, blind spot cam, lane trace assist, and others are all standard and I just love it so much unlike the Toyotas. My area actually has black exterior with coffee interior and bro that shit looks luxurious af

I love videos like this because its just two Chrises talking about cars, like friends, in a Hyundai Elantra. Its great

Let it be known that your video made me buy one. Seriously.

you forgot to mention that in this price point you also get independent rear suspension!
I really like the setup for the dash/infotainment on this gen elantra. Really makes the EN a nice prospect.

I had a 2022 hybrid limited was a fantastic experience
Great video. Really considering upgrading my 2009 Elantra to a new hybrid soon.
I love chasing the MPG numbers in my 21 Accord cheapo base model. Best I've gotten on a 60 mph road is 48 MPG!
It's amazing how much Hyundai's interiors have improved. Wouldn't say I'm a massive fan of the exterior design, but it still seems like a fairly proper car
Even the Enterprise rental’s that are pretty much base are fine. The car is comfortable and well equipped for the price I can’t lie

Chris X 2 is so much fun to watch!
When do you get your hands on the new Elantra N?
3:33 It comes with the stick of truth from Carwow... impressive...
I’d gravitate toward the N Line as a trade off between practical (hybrid) and hair on fire (N).
I had a 2023 n line and traded back to a 2021 Veloster n. The DCT in the n line is just too sluggish and really poor in day to day traffic. Always seemed confused and would over rev on gear shifts due to clutch slip
@@zapskim123 Good to know! Thank you.
It would look way too "mean" for the power it has, though.

The interior is really spacious feeling. Feels just as roomy or more than Camary or Accord because of how they pushed things out giving sense of room.
Yess with Subtopher!
the mileage for the half tank is what i get on a full tank for my 2012 mit outlander 😭
My Ioniq 6 has the same gen instrumentation / infotainment. I’d love to have that more traditional gauge setup as an available theme on my EV.
Might be unpopular opinion but all new cars should be hybrid only
They have been trying to contact Chris about his extended warranty
I think sub topher was right about that 0-60!

Is it me or is the hyundai emblem also different?
Anyone know if it's 139hp combined with the electric motor. Or if that is for the 1.6 by itself?
Combined
139hp combined with electric motor. Without the electric motor, it's only 104 HP.
my 2202 elantra ultimate + tech two tone is almost at 35000km now. No issues so far, very fuel efficient.
You can get up to 50~mpg if you cruise at 80-90 km/hr. really nice.

@@24GirlPandawhatever to make the 104 horsepower feel sporty i guess
What is that white circle on the driver side behind the wheel? Is it for a phone holder or ? What is it use for ?
This just seems better value than the new Honda Civic Hybrid but does not have the horsepower.
Nice video as always but please can you do a video on 2024 sonata hybrid limited
Thanks alot
There's other RUclips channels.....
Is there a garage door
Opener built in?
does this model have a blind spot camera?
Limited and limited hybrid comes with blind spot cameras on both sides.
@whiteeagleforce2.040 The Select Convience package also has blind spot mirrors
I get like 38mpg on the reg civic sport with doing 80mph+ lol
my old acura gives me about 180miles for a full tank lol
Try Sonata N-line please!

wait you're both named Chris, I just found out 😶🌫😶🌫
Oh cool my door dash is here
Rear passengers get no air-vents but they can plug in one of those USB fans. Probably gonna hurt the mpg though.
Say what you want about Kia/hyundai… but I think they’ve came along way from a couple years ago.
Seems like an awful lot of road noise getting in.
This or the new civic hybrid?

Nice car.
Thing kicked on with the hood open and sounded like a drill
That’s how it sounds on our phones. When you hear that in person it’s quiet and normal. Car engines up close sound weird over the phone.
Hyundai lovely
Also do y’all not have ambient lighting in this trim of hybrid?
Watch the whole video.
@@Localtraveler2376 I did. I was expecting to be a bit brighter but apparently nah.
