- 2021 Hyundai Elantra review by The Straight Pipes. The Hyundai Elantra is pumping out 147hp and 132 lb-ft tq from a 2L 4 Cyl Engine. Correction on the price stated in the video, we were actually driving the Ultimate Tech, which is $28,299 CAD. Would you take it over a Honda Civic, VW Golf, Kia Forte, Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3?

4:17 in n-line there will be drive mode switch button. odd place to put but you can switch to sports, sports +, eco, normal
Fake gears are bad! Make CVTs Continous Again (MCCA).
Or better - let the driver decide if they want fake gears or not, it could just be a setting/drive mode.
@@kiuklee90 Thank you for that !
I'm poor bc I'm 15 and I'm a freshman
Seems like a completely adequate daily for the masses. And it looks well built. Kudos Hyundai
I have a 2018 and love it
@hiroshima thompson hit your elantra once and cry once you repair and drive it again, it creaks like a bitch altho the accident was minimal
@@arrogen2831 i have owned a 2018 elantra and 2015 sonata and after 2years the interior creaks like shit and the brakes go shit as well and the engine has weird rumbles to it, it cant even be compared to a toyota camry or corolla
@@arrogen2831 yes i do take care i have an almost one million miles lexus ls, i dont drive it anymore but yes i do take care
Not enough for Europe. Rear trunk is useless.
Two uploads in 2 seconds???? Now that’s a first.
Well... Two uploads in 2 secs means someone’s hacking the CZcams channel with a mod or something!
Can’t get any better car for this price. The most futuristic, high tech, big screens and premium looking interior. Thanks for the review
hyundai and genesis have been killing it lately. love their style and the way they handle the budget.
Lol. How come you fan boys never mention the lawsuits snd engines blowing up. It's junk
As in killing engines with fire? They just had another recall.
@@thundergato84 everyone makes mistakes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
First of all, we owed a 2002 Elantra that we finally got rid of at 170,000 miles and only got rid of it because we were ready to upgrade. But since that time we’ve owned 2 Santa Fe’s and a Sonata and NO ENGINE PROBLEMS AT ALL!! So not sure what some of you are talking about?
Also, the only recalls on the 2021 Elantra have ZERO to do with engines, there have only been 2 and both have to do with the seat and seat belt. So again, not sure what some of you are talking about?
Any mechanical issues we have run into? Hyundai has always stood behind their unbelievable, incomparable warranty for us. Not a penny out of our pockets, and no lingering, unaddressed problems afterwards. We always leave the Hyundai dealership satisfied customers! ♥️
Don’t know why Hyundai haters come to hate-watch these videos, it’s pathetic really 😂
We just bought the 2021 Elantra SEL for our teenage daughter and couldn’t be happier! Peace of mind for her father and I, knowing she’s in a safe & reliable vehicle!
I'm still partial to Mazda 3 and 6 but I'm warming up the these
You guys should start talking about cars sound system quality and how many speaker do they have in all you car reviews. That’s important too.
Music is priority 🎵🎷🎵
*cough* savagegeese
also more speaker==! better sounding
@@ShaiyanHossain not always lol
@@shefakhairullah1569 Shaiyan's comment doesn't imply that more speakers *won't* mean better sound quality, just that more speakers isn't inherently better sounding (i.e. more speakers doesn't necessarily equal better sound, but a system with more speakers, in general, is likely to sound better).
Lol if you expect cars journalists to do more than talk about looks, ramble off spec sheets and read PR releases.
I just had the SEL model as a loaner car. I was impressed. The low power numbers don't exactly translate to real world feel. It feels very responsive and peppy while still getting 40 mpg on the highway easily and 30+ in town. The handling is really good especially for a compact economy car. The build quality inside the car was really good, the back seat room was as much as a mid size sedan and even the trunk was big. For around $20k new with a 100k mile warranty this is a really awesome car! I'll definitely consider one as my next car in a few years when they are $12k with 50k miles.
Two videos in 10 seconds
Really hard working
Yeaaaaaa something doesn’t seem right lol
I'm not complaining
I bought mine 2 years ago… Still so in love with it…
Same here I love it . Great car
The useless black sticker on the left of the cockpit is actually
going to be the drive mode selector on the N-Line model.
Correct
unless its got a standard gearbox, they dont get drive modes... lol
This comment didn’t age well
@@toocoolfrank7933 yep tell me about it 😂
Me: *Gets in bed
Straight Pipes: It's not bedtime yet.
Quite the hard-hit hit from the blunt if I do say so myself! 😂
Honestly I think It’s a very good value for money
Yup, and you get that free 100,000 mile warranty. Major plus.
@@arrogen2831 both those cars will be more expensive but actually be worth something in 5 years
@@arrogen2831 if you paid $13k for a 7 year old hyundai you got robbed. The average Kbb value for that year's elantra with standard equipment and 50k miles is about 5-$7k. For the corolla it's 7-10k.
@@FreewayBrent That's because you will need it.
@@arrogen2831 Only the Elantra would have blown up by then. Can't touch a Corolla in longevity and reliability.
When Yuri makes the “Ewwwww” face on launch, I LOL.
Yeah, he used to be fine with most anything, Jakub was the driver. He's become spoiled
Just bought a 2023 Elantra Hybrid, and absolutely loving it. Electric motor gives peppy starts off the line, 0-60 in 8.5 seconds, dual clutch 6 speed auto tranny gives positive, precise shifts, independent rear suspension gives incredible handling. And, oh yeah... over 50 miles per gallon in the city. And the electronics is staggering. This is close to the worlds perfect car.
Mach e in intro, really interesting Hyundai Elantra redesign lol
That’s as close as we’ll get to a Mach E review
@@TheStraightPipes we’ll take it!
@@TheStraightPipes well that didn’t age well
9:45
"cheap Cars, expensive ones, luxury, normal"
and then there's mazda, which exists in limbo
and then there's mazda, which exists in excellence
Mazda which exists in zoomzoom*
Yes, it exists
haha..mazda?wtf
I really wasn’t expecting a midnight upload, well there goes my 8AM class
That poor confused woman driving the Mach-E
Why did they put in the Mach-E cut?
@@mattliljequist Because its rare I guess
We just bought a 2021 Elantra last week for my daughter and we love it. Its just the base model with auto and we are totally happy with it. Best looking compact car out there.
I'm planning to get the SEL trim for the XM radio and remote start. It is too bad they don't allow those as options for the base model because.
What do you guys think of it?
If I was looking for a new compact car, I'd have this on my list.
My favorite part of this show is when they floor it. Watching their expressions as they decide if the car is fast is always funny 😂
My dad test drove the all new hyundai elantra just recently, he was impressed by lane keep. Great job Hyundai!
You guys are one of the best automotive vloggers on CZcams👍
Good luck
Every time I see one on the road I am blown away by the rear end look. If the front end was similarly angular it'd be a knockout
I watched the Sonata video first and then came here because it was recommended at the end. Now its recommended I go back to the Sonata video. I'm stuck in a loop. Your plan worked.
Actually the fake plastic part on the left side of the gauge would be perfect for attaching a phone holder or other accessories with that flat surface.
Why would you need to put your phone there, you shouldn't be using it whilst driving
@@TristanSilverwood I totally agree but you may want it there in case you put directions to somewhere before you get on the road. For instance, if you’re stopped somewhere you can glance at it real quick to make sure you’re on track. Also its an easy spot to access if you want to get your stuff together faster as you exit your car. I do agree to keep your eyes on the road but there can be advantages.
@@tomnorman3123 yeah but surely this car comes with apple car play and android auto? By using them you discourage yourself from looking at messages
@@TristanSilverwood Navigation on Android Auto still isn't as good as on an Android Phone, audio control is still weird, and you can't type any languages other than English.
@@Arcadia1997 fair enough, I've never actually had android auto I just assumed it would be almost exact mirroring without the distracting aspects
I would like to see more new videos like this about normal (not luxury, super expensive) cars.
More Toyota, Honda and such, please.
(Especially comparison videos like you did before, maybe for crossovers or regular family cars, help us pick our next car, for real)
I commented on the old video on this car during lockdown that I wanna see full video. I guess they hear me. Love u guys.
Two uploads in one?! HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hyundai/Kia/Genesis is absolutely killing it with design recently. Nice to see an automaker who clearly enjoys designing cars and giving good value and warranty.
I imagine this "cockpit" style interior is close to what a new SAAB would be like if they were still around.
At least Ford had the decency to sell off Volvo to Geely for a relatively cheap price, and Volvo has flourished under new ownership. JLR is also doing okay under Tata ownership. Those worthless bean counters at GM could have done something similar but just shuttered a historic brand for nothing.
F
Best looking sedan at its price point / size!
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!
Woke up to a StraightPipes video
Today is a good start to the day !
its 2020 does GM and Chevy cars even exist? Koreans killing the game!
They basically couldn't compete, so they gave up
GM cars basically don't exist any more - after the latest round of cuts they only have four models left: the Chevy Malibu, Chevy Spark, Cadillac CT4, and Cadillac CT5 (I guess six models if you count the Camaro and Corvette, but those aren't really competing against anything the Koreans are selling)
ARCNA442 they also sell SUVs
@@W0nTonSoup go over throttle house literally reviewed like 5 gms within the last month...
@@W0nTonSoup I hate Chevy but they are still around sadly
I love the gauge cluster transitions way more than I should
Bought one yesterday. Lovin it so far.
what’s it like having it a year in? i just got mine last wednesday and i’m super excited
U guys always come in clutch!!
I am so excited for the new Elantra N thats going to come out. Kia/Hyundai/Genesis have really been putting out banger after banger recently
They are bangers alright. Look at the law suits. Bang goes the engine
I am going through my 2nd quarantine here in Greece and I really needed this video to spare my time. Thank you so much.
Elantra over all competitors 👍👍👍
From 2017 till now the 147 hp engine still no change
Shoutout to TheStraightPipes...
Got a 2021 Kia K5 GT-Line AWD because of your video review! I have had it for 1 week now, and I am in LOVE with it. So smooth and a premium feel to it.
Awesome! I was waiting for this review 🚙
Don't like the fake shifts on newer cars that had CVTs. They're ruining the efficiency that CVT introduces to it. Embrace it. It's quite good to be smooth.
perfect interior
Hyundai’s been stepping it up
Watching this right after the 11th gen Civic reveal makes the new Civic even more disappointing.
the new Tuscon interior as with this new Elantra cockpit are the top of the damn pops, yoo!
Jeez is the Elantra redesigned every year or something? Can't keep up
Pretty much.. I don't see this elantra doing that well either, looks very over styled like all Hyundai's as of late
@@Tritonal92 i find this redesign pretty ugly in all honesty
Yep. A new or refreshed Elantra every 1-2yrs. It's crazy. Bought my new Elantra just 2yrs ago and they're already moved on to 2 other designs. They can update it every 6mos for all I care. I bought what I like and I'm sticking with it, unless it turns out to be junk, in which case I'll move on to a different brand.
@@jaxandmore440 2017 started the last gen and they refreshed it with ugly headlights and taillights for 2019 model year, but not a whole lot of other changes. I got the 2018 sport and it looks great. Would not have bought the refresh.
@hiroshima thompson in my experience, the outdated designs tend to be the most dependable vehicles. The manufacturers keep the models around long enough to work out the bugs.
10:31 I Never thought that I would recognize a road that Jacob and Yuri were driving on in a video! We live nearby and we welcome "Cliche Kanata Corner" as the new name for that road!
Mach E in the middle of the Elantra review like:
👁 👄 👁
You guys are on fire with the uploads today!
Two vids in one day!, good thing it's still morning here
I’ve been thinking of getting this car really, the vid helps a lot
do it omg i just got it last wednesday and i have 0 regrets
@@salem3641 I’ve had mine for almost a year, I got it last June, great car, decent mileage, $40-80 Canadian for a full tank whenever I need gas . No regrets for the car. Although, I’m really a Lexus type of guy
@@curiousadonis2766 any issues with it at all?
@@salem3641 just one bit, sometimes I feel like I could hear squeaking/screeching sounds when I’m driving the car, and the car tends to get really hot in the summer time even if the windows are widely opened
The inside looks great but the outside of Hyundai’s lately are so ugly
It's a shame because the Elantra started off great looking in the previous generation until they started with the triangles on the facelift.
@@JuanGarcia-zq5tp the first Elantra sport was a good looking car.
No this is much better than the facelift!! You just don’t like their new design language.
People don't understand lines and edges in design that are starting to emerge. They're stuck on round and curved designs.
After watched this video I feel like this Elantra and the Sonata N Line was somewhat connected in timing...
I know many people disagree with me, but I'm not a huge fan of the current generation Elantra and Sonata designs. I think it's the front end, the grill is a very strange shape and the headlights look kind of weird. I like every other angle though, especially the rear. The interior is really attractive for this segment as well.
Yeah me too, I don't dig the catfish grill
designwise, they NAILED this car so hard. you really gettin there s korea! way to be.
Cool feature on the new Elantra is that you can activate the rear camera without shifting into reverse.
Mach E shot in intro?
I saw that too!!!!!
To relate two ugly ass things
@@yegmtb8377 it’s not ugly
@@yes8032 nope its definitely ugly dude if you like this i feel sorry for your taste R.I.P
@@yegmtb8377 it’s really not an ugly electric car your biased because you don’t like it’s a mustang I don’t like it either but it isn’t a bad looking car just looking at it. Painful it’s a mustang? Yes. Good looking car otherwise? Yes. Get over it times are changing
With intro music like that, i thought it was gonna be a WS6 trans-am
Definitely best design in its segment
It's the perfect daily driver in the new n line version. Just enough power while keeping great fuel economy with all the new tech , sun roof , mood lighting for a affordable price. The 2021 elantra will be car of the year
Tried a lower trim yesterday. Hyundai user experience is king. I prefer the physical gauges on Lower trims tho. The steering wheel is kinda thicc, but I’m deciding between a mazda 3 and an elantra and the elantra is far more practical looking
That panel on the left, works great to hold your cell phone with suction. So it does have a good use :)
Eyyy nice to see The Straight Pipes in the YOW!
My gf just picked up her 2021 elantra this week and I bought a 2020 mazda 3 back in October. The Koreans are absolutely killing the economic sedan game.
This Elantra is the best looking car hands down. nothing can compare with this right now!!!!
Elantra is amazing for the money. That warranty can’t be beat
Finally, youtube notifications are on time.
This Elantra is soooooooooo much better than the last model. Those triangle headlights were done in the worst way they could have done headlights. The triangles actually look kind of badass with this design.
Random Mach-E in there and then I saw the Electra just peaking in the bottom left!! Love it
This is the only time I was early for anything this past few months!
Btw, that elantra N-Line looks super promising!!
2 videos at the same time, wtf 😍
I have to say, seat comfort in Hyundai cars is one of their determining factors for justifying the purchase.
Wish you would have commented on the fact there are NO AC/heat vents for the back seat passengers.
2 Videos in 1 day?!?!!? Y'ALL TRYING TO MAKE SURE I DONT SLEEP TODAY EH!
this car is more funky than Prius
looks really good
You guys should talk about some of the features that are available in the cars in the US that are not available in Canada like the digital key, dynamic voice recognition, remote start heated seats, or the ability to control the car through bluelink with google home. Feel like its important to mention since during the lead up they touted those features alot but removed them here and you guys are a Canadian channel. Also the car is 25K without those 10.25 screens. To get the both of the 10.25 screens, the interior ambient lighting, LED headlights, power driver seats, and highway driving assist its an additional 2700 making this closer to 28K. No rear AC vents in a 28K car. Also only apple carplay is widescreen in the car right now, android auto is locked to 8 inches with an ugly black box taking up the rest of the screen you cant do anything with. You guys also didn't mention the Bose sound system which is also nice.
Random video on a Sunday night? Bless!
The car looks incredible and for the price it is amazing
That intro was lit!
I think they drew some inspiration from the Garmin G1000. I wish aircraft interiors were as nice as the elantra interior though.
Both new Elantra and Sonata have a fastback rear and should have a fastback hatch like Stinger.
dam that car just look gooooooooooooooooddddddddddddddddd
YEAAA THEY DID IT AGIAN IN THE BEGINNING, GOTTA LOVE IT🏎💨
The most metal music for the least metal car. Love it.
Sheet metal bro
Don’t think I’ve ever been this early O.o
Did u guys accidentally upload 2 vids in 1 day ...or was it meant to?? Anyway I'm happy
I was ready to buy the new Elantra until I saw the digital dash is only available on the top trim. A bit disappointing, don’t think that’s the case in the US.
You can get it on the sel which is 22k msrp the one in the Video is the limited
That's a pretty solid value for the price imo
That interior looks great, but can’t get over the exterior... peaked 2 generations ago for sure
It is nine o clock for us and I like the the intro video
Why did you guys upload at 9:00 PM PST
I think it was supposed to be private or unlisted.
I’m asking the same question lol. And 2 videos too?!
@@FDB77 ya.
They were under embargo until now
@YourTypical Asian hi
How many sharp edge lines did you design into this car?
HYUNDAI CHIEF DESIGNER: yes.
For a cad on the lower end to have all those features is crazy. Top 5 “budget” daily driver cars easily
Well, just like the Golf R review of old, from you guys. Driving the same car but with 2 different transmissions. I want to see you guys drive 2 Elantra N cars, 1 with a Manual and 1 with the DCT. Comparison and review. I get the feeling you guys will have a Great time. The new reviews of the Elantra N pre-production from Alex On Autos and Redline Reviews.....Positive reviews so far. Just can't wait for the TheStraightPipes review on it!
patiently waiting for the mazda 3 turbo review :')
