I have a 2010 elantra, its been the most reliable car I've ever owned. Only one time in the shop. Don't care about a car's looks as long as its reliable.
I might be the minority, but I think it looks unique and nice in person.
Renting the car right now and I think it has the simple expected look from a Hyundai with a sporty look
Yes bought this car and it looks beautiful and I'm seeing many more on the road like this model
The car looks like it has been redesigned by my geometry teacher😂😂
I saw it in person in a dark gray. . . . it looked fine. Not great on the front end but nice on the back. I think the older model looks better and the Sport is simply unmatched.
👍👍
Hi i’m from south korean thank you for loving my country car thank you.
beautiful reliable car I like the people who proud of there country 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The designer used to work at Peugeot, Mercedes, and GM. I saw his interview before. Looks like he had a pretty solid confidence with this car lol.
One of those videos you we're going to watch and ended up watching the whole thing. Very good review.
Glad you liked it!
Athletic design... Good job Hyunadi and for your review 👍
Loved this review. Thank you! I don’t get my car until Tuesday so I’m imagining. 😭😂
I really like this NEW 2019 Elantra's design both inside and out!...I own a 2016 Sonata but have always liked the Elantra's style/design and this refreshed version gives a more premium look , can't wait to see one on the road!
Thank you for the care and thought that you put into your reviews. The speak from the pov of the demographic that prefers this type of car. I found you highly informed, honest and transparent. Thank you for adding positively to the internet and not posting critical and efforts to stroke your own ego like other car review channels. Well done. You deserve all the sales in your area and behind
Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate it!
I love the look of the 2019/20 Elantra.
Honestly i like this car,
Korean cars are more and more beoming luxurious
Nice review very nice car for a company that has come a long way
Excellent review! I can't wait until my local dealer gets one of these in stock for me to review. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks, you too!
The previous model 2018 was so much nicer, I will be looking for the older model!
I love the head lights, the grill is weird the front bumper is a nice look.
The new styling is starting to grow on me.
This guys is so informative!! Wow
Thank you!
Good video. I like my 2019 Hyundai Elantra SEL but it does not have keyless entry or heated seats. Also it has manual seat adjusting. Before this I bought a 2017 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid brand new and liked it better than this but had to sell and buy a van for wheelchair. I had the '17 for 3 yrs and not one problem. I have had my '19 for 18 mos and it just started making a rubbing noise in the steering when I turn either way so I will be taking it in for a check-up. According to some youtube videos, it could be 3 or 4 things wrong.
Nice bro keep it up good luck 👍👍
The exterior somewhat grew on me except the reverse lights being on the bottom the 2018 Elantra is more attractive imo. Great review.
Thank you!
it seems to resemble a vw around the grille...not a fan i have a 18 elantra glad i bought when i did
Same here! I agree 100%
Am I the only one that actually prefers the 2019 exterior?
Noah Spencer I actually prefer the 2017/2018 but I honestly don’t think the exterior of the 2019 is bad as people are saying. I’ve seen a few in person and they look a lot better than on the video.
Yes
I like both, but prefer the 2019. Especially the back.
Me too, I like new front but many people in KOR, they say Triangletra (triangle + elantra(avante)) 😢
WTF
A very thorough and well-crafted review. I learned many details here that I couldn't find after a fair amount of other research. While I don't love some of the exterior changes for 2019, I do love how lots of features have moved down from the Limited trim to lower trim levels in 2019. Especially the safety features.
In the United States, the Limited with the Ultimate package on the 2019 model DOES NOT come with heated rear seats. Only the front seats are heated. I suppose Canada has heated rear seats. The car shown in the video has MPH showing on the speedometer which means the car was not filmed in Canada. Very confusing, due to the fact there was even a "closed caption" at the bottom of the screen stating the Ultimate package included heated rear seats.
Hey David! We apologize for the confusion. You are correct, the Elantra Limited w/ Ultimate does NOT have heated rear seats. When we made this video (back in September) we had limited press information due to it being pre-release. In 2017 and 2018 it had heated rear seats, so I made the mistake of assuming it wouldn't be removed for 2019. Thanks for your patience!
All these comments must be the work of Fords social media department because all y’all saying that the 2018 looks better must like ford fusions as well. This is the best looking car I’ve seen from Hyundai in a while and it’s very affordable.
Front end looks weird (looks like Geometry) . I wonder how the refreshed Sport model is gonna look, following this look.
We're curious too since the Sport won't be out for awhile and Hyundai hasn't released any pictures 🤔
I'm not really fond of the refresh. It's like the front turned into the geometry project or something. It has grown on me a little. Definitely isn't the worst, but not the best. 2018 is overall better. I do like the minor changes in the interior though.
D.J.'s Car Reviews agree 100%
Great review as always!! Keep it up guys!! Good that Hyundai had a change for the new Elantra.
Love my 18 Elantra sport, don’t like the look of this new 19 Elantra but I’m curious of what they do to the sport
I'm thinking about buying a 2018 sport for 17k, have u made any changes to make it faster?
I'm purchasing the 2018 Value Edition on Friday, in two days...
Good review.
It's sad the new model looks ugly. The previous one looks a lot better. Curious how the sport model will look.
Man, had this been the design of the 2017 Elantra Sport, I wouldn't have bought it! Take a look at that fear end...!
Well done review!
I like the earlier model, but good review.
Nice job on this review! I'll be the black sheep and say I like the updated styling, more so at the front. It is a very original design and eye-catching. The rear is a bit bland. The 2018 was a very nice looking car, but I felt the front style looked way too much like the Dodge Dart. I like the subtle revisions they made to the dashboard too. They injected more personality into the design.
Much improved car. Great driving car. Love the new design.
Nice review my man!
Thank ya! 😁
Great video, Mason!
Thanks!
Of course!
Oh my god the new Jetta SHIIIIIIIIITS on this!
beautiful and reliable car
Honestly not a big fan of the exterior especially the front end. The sleek angular large grille just doesn't feel right to me mixed with the small triangular headlights. And the name at the back is a pet peeve of mine like the sonata it feels cheesy and doesn't need to be there. To me it's just an unnecessary aggressive design change but I have yet to see it in person and it may grow in me. But as always I feel like Hyundai is heading the right direction in terms of being a heavy competitor against Honda and Toyota.
I was really expecting the front end to be similar to the current Elantra GT. This is just... bad. The front end doesn't match with any of the other Hyundai current design language
Same.
7
well good thing is the discounts on the current gen lol. Ugh idk how they could make such a beautiful car ugly.
same! from korea
we even do not understand it.
previous model was even better
For it's class which includes the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla, and Nissan Sentra and some others this vehicle blows them away!!!!!...It looks much more premium than any of those models, both inside and out!...So I'm not sure whether you know what your talking about,...You must be a Honda, Toyota FANBOY🤔
Wow! The Rear reminds me of a Sonata!
Great review
Thanks! 👍
Whoever designed this had a wild night at the bar.
Great review thank you!!
Thanks glad you liked it!
Why did Hyundai take away the heated mirrors and the power seat for the driver and lumbar support on the Value Edition for 2019 and I thank you for posting this video.
Ikr
Cost cutting
*Value Edition*
"value"
Our apologies for the unclear language, but the Value Edition does have heated mirrors (the only one without them is the SE). Also the 2018 VE did not have a power seat, though I've been told that the 2017 VE did have them
I'm thinking the Hyundai designers got inspired by the '96 lara croft tomb raider graphics
Very nice car!
The elatra seems like a good value.
Hopefully the sport trim looks better. For now I’ll be looking at the 2020 Corolla or 2019 Civic 🙂
The pre-refreshed model in terms of exterior styling definitely looks better. When this car first came out , I thought it look terrible (But since then it's grown on me a little but not 100%). And the interior still needs work (The overall quality still looks cheap , the Kia forte does better in that aspect along with styling). But seeing how impressive the new Santa fe's quality is , I don't think Hyundai wants their products to be thought as cheap anymore.
Agreed.
Here's what I have heard. Now that they have their luxury brand they are getting away from the value mode. No more pay less and still get luxury features. You are going to have to go get the luxry Genesis brand which is understandable.
Thank God I bought a 2017 Elantra. So much better. Unfortunately if Hyundai insists on following this design road it will be my last.
Do a 2019 Mazda 3 vs Civic vs Elantra face off?
Maybe once the 2019 Mazda 3 comes out in month or two!
Thanks for the comprehensive overview. I appreciate that you told us what's new for 2019, and what the differences are between the trim levels. As far as your video itself, I might suggest more edited shots instead of your long continuous shots, and I might also suggest some text to display the list of 2019 changes. But overall a very good quality video.
🤗.....2018 it is!
Good review. Thank you. Seems like facelifted Elantra has done away foglights for all trims.
I live about an hour from this dealership. Might have to stop by and check things out.
Just bought the 2018 elantra value edition.. in my opinion the front design of the 2018 is better than this 2019 model.. still good looking tho
Congrats!
2019 Kia Forte looks better to me!!! Inside and out!!!
I love this car the base se model comes with a six speed Manuel and it’s a blast to drive
Saw one on the road, the triangle DRL LED shapes go too far to the middle, make the car look cross-eyed head on.
Veryy nice looking car!👍
The styling, not at all, I like the 2018 styling better. Especially in the front is ugly.
I saw one on the road today. It looks good from the rear and sides.
The front end will take some getting used to.
Jamil continued follower from Iraq, I wish you luck and success
Thank you!
The front headlights look like spider man's eyes
I've seen the 2019 civic corolla and elantra on the streets, and the elantra looks way better as far as looks are concerned. And I'm glad that they have no CVT! Those suck!
Hyundai just runied the best looking car they had... the Sport trim was a very good looking compact sedan, now it just looks like a bootleg 1st gen Prius, horrible decision making went on at the meetings.
I like the new design, however, the headlights needs some tweaking, and I dont like how the reverse lights are at the very bottom of the rear bumper.
I like the 2012 Elantra front end design. This 2019 Elantra looks like it has an accordion stuck up there.
I think the design got some inspiration from the Lexus LFA
Can't unsee the anime eyes
Great video man! I love the 2019 Hyundai Elantra! It's very sexy and sharp!!! I love your car too, you're a excellent driver! What kind of car your brother got? I can't wait for y'all next video.
Thanks man! He drives a 2010 Camry right now but is thinking about getting something new next year
@@CarConfections y'all welcome!!! I love the 2010 Toyota Camry!!! It's always nice to get a new car He should check out the 2019 Toyota Camry or 2019 Nissan Altima. I love pickup trucks too. I can't wait for y'all next video. Toyota makes good cars. Hyundai makes good cars too.
I have absolutely no idea what executives at Hyundai were thinking when designing this Elantra's front end? Seriously, whoever designed that front end, especially those awkwardly curved corners, must be fired ASAP. No questions asked
Silent Refusal EXACTLY FIRE THE DESIGNERS. The 2017 looked so much better.
@@vvsre760 2018 was the pinnacle of the design aesthetics IMO
Did you get a new microphone? Your voice sounds really clear now.
Just bought the 2018 Elantra ...couldn't bring myself to get the 2019. The front end looks worse in person.
I was thinking about trading my 2014 Elantra GT in for a 2019 Elantra, but after seeing it, I'd rather pick up a 2018 Elantra Sport or just spend the money and go for the Veloster N. This new Elantra just looks so dated and unappealing to me.
Remove the chrome outline in the headlights for the non LED version and make it clear. Yeesh !!
2019 Camaro: Worst facelift ever.
2019 Elanta: Hold my beer🍺
Kia, Hyundai expands U.S. engine fire recalls by 534,000 vehicles.
Kia said it is recalling 378,000 2012-2016 Kia Soul vehicles over engine damage and fire risks, while Hyundai and Kia are recalling 155,000 2011-2013 Tucson vehicles and 2011-2012 Sportage vehicles over possible oil pan leaks in a separate callback.
Hyundai and Kia have now recalled more than 2.3 million vehicles since 2015 to address various engine fire risks in a series of recalls.
The South Korean automakers have been steadily losing ground to Japanese car behemoths such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan.
I will never buy a Hyundai Elantra 2013 rides like a damn brick especially with rough road conditions and they don’t handle very well in snow either . Hell my 2010 Prius 2 handled better in the snow. I am very disappointed with my car.
very successful car
NO PLEASE HYUNDAI YOU WERE DOING SO WELL DONT DO THIS TO YOURSELF
I Would've liked the 2.0 Liter with Turbocharged Engine never liked those little engines
Nice job on this review! I like the overhead camera view while you’re driving. This car is at the top of my list for a daily driver if I decide to quit leasing trucks.
Thanks!
for the price of the value edition u can get an se sonata bigger and saver more comfort!
Nice review
Not sold on the new front end. Better off buying a bargain priced 2018 sport.
David S Exactly my plan. The 2018 styling looks miles better, and the sports aggressive looks are just icing on the cake.
@@MacDaddyDev I did just that in October 2018. Buy now. I had a hard time finding one the Premium package. Love my Sport.
the 2014 Elantra is still the best looking Elantra they ever made.
I agree
The interior looks like my Accent 2012. The Elantra 2018 sport does not have colors at all in the inside of the car.
so the fog lights are not actually fog lights or am I missing something?
That's correct. Fog lights are not available on the Elantra
Didnt they just refresh the light designs very recently?
When is the BlueLink demo going to be available?
Hopefully within the next couple weeks, when we review the Kona. Thanks for watching!
Why not standard LED DTRL the Corolla, and Civic and Mazda have it standard
Does the warranty come with the car or do you get charged for it if so how much is it?
Is standard with the car
Car Confections thanks 🤙🏻
Hate the front end styling. I like nothing about it. The back end looks bland too.
I don't either.
why
I bough a unlimited 2019 Elentra in Canada an iit didn't came with memory seats , did I just got ripped off ?
Are you guys going to review the final model year of the ford fusion?
We don't know... Not sure if there's enough demand. The last fusion we review got almost no views 🤔
Does the value edition have fog lamps??
How roomy is the drivers side?
