I have a 2020 Elantra and love the transmission. I love driving the car so much that I put 2000 miles on the car in about a month.
DBR00 which model ? SE or SEL?
My girlfriend and I are in the same boat! 2300 miles on our 2020 Elantra SE 😭❤️
425 miles on our 2020 Limited. But I do work 8 miles from home!
It's a smooth transmission
LOL i do Uber i put 5,000 miles every month
Just got an Elantra SEL w premium package and it has this transmission and I really like it . After 1200 miles I now average 39.6 mpg in all driving.
Does it accelerate fast?
this mpg makes no sense, are you driving at 60mph at 70farenheit without sport mode?
The IVT in my 2020 Hyundai Elantra is ridiculously jerky and unsmooth! On the highway, it's actually really nice. But around town, it bogs down for a second or two when I first press the accelerator, then harshly jerks to 2000 RPM, causing the car to buck. It has no trouble accelerating once it actually hits 2000 RPM, but there's a flat spot around 1500 RPM that creates poor drivability at low speeds. It also refuses to decelerate while coasting. My car is great otherwise...but that IVT, not smooth at all.
We would like to encourage you to make an appointment with your local authorized Hyundai dealership for an inspection. Thank you. ^cc
My car does that in automatic mode
damn , which model is that? 2022?
My 2020 does it too
@@warrenhillis8262my Kia soul has the same transmission and it was doing that for a while and at about 60,000 miles the trans went out
I'm leasing the 2020 value edition. Has start button, sun roof, lane keep, lane departure warning that also breaks if you want to switch lanes and it senses a car is coming, collision prevention. Heated seats. The only thing missing from this model and the Limited is that the limited has leather, adaptive cruise control, button controlled seats, and I believe a heads up display and a smaller engine but one that's turbo charged. I got a COVID-19 discount. I cranked the price down to high 18k new. Paid 0 down, leasing it for 36 months, for less than 290 a month with 15k mile allowance. Great compact, nimble car. Has the drive change features, from the sport, smart and normal. I put it on sport, turn off traction control and manually " shift". That little 2.0 feels zippy for 150 hp and 140 torque.
You still only got a small econo-car with a CVT transmission, right? Thought so.
@@frankfarago2825 Make sense son. Thought so
Great that Hyundai came back from GDI, time will tell how will be the CVT reliability, I hope that it will be good. (Fix cost and easy-to-fix will be decisive for me).
Transmission smooth af
IVT means slower acceleration at red light, less reliable than a normal manual gearbox, but gas mileage is good on highway
@0:55 Yes, the 6-speed automatic in the 2017-2018 Elantra behaves like this. It's a very odd sensation while driving. I've never owned a car with automatic transmission that had this feeling and I dislike it. It feels like someone is shifting a manual transmission.
palebeachbum same with me
Yo same. But it’s not too bad
hyundai and all manufacturers for that fact should offer manuals as special order. i'll sign a disclaimer on the fuel mileage
I have a 2020 Hyundai Accent SEL, and I'm getting over 50 mpg on the highway, and around 40 driving around town. What's not to like?
I have a 2018 elantra. 2.0. The trade off is power for amazing gas mileage. I have a manual. I get upper 40's in the summer, can get 50 on the highway. Winter when it's cold and I have snows on, I get high 30's low 40's. I like the Accent. I like you can get a stick.
@@joeb2588 That's true; there aren't many cars left on which one can get a stick. My sister has a 2017 Mazda sedan (I forget which model) with a stick.
@@bobjacobson858 yah, nice. Mazda makes a nice car. They supposedly have the best manuals...
How fast do you driving, I can maybe get 40 on the freeway doing 70 mainly more like 38 which I'm perfectly happy with.
@@dougc190 I typically drive at the speed limit, so I get 50 mpg at 70 mph if is it a relatively level highway. If I'm on a level highway going about 55 mpg, I can exceed 50 mpg, sometimes getting as much as 55 mpg. In town I get high 30s to low 40s. However, the car seems to have sufficient pep at 75 to 80 mph, such as on I-10 in western Texas.
A couple weeks ago, I filled the tank, and it happened that the next couple miles were downhill. The mpg display went up to 99.9, and although I continued downhill, that figure was apparently the highest figure that can be displayed. Soon after going uphill again, the figure started going back down.
I love my Kia Seltos S. The IVT is smooth and has plenty of pep. Hyundai/Kia nailed it with this CVT excuse me IVT.
Which engine does it have? 1.5 smart stream?
About to rent one.. wouldn't buy one though. CVT/IVT tech is a nightmare to fix once it breaks
Good thing there's a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty on it.
@@blueboxof83 Exactly. Which can quickly turn into only 5-years -- if you drive 20K miles per annum. Or if you drive only 5K miles, in 10-years time your CVT warranty would have run its course -- with only 50,000 miles on your odometer.
it’s cheaper to fix a cvt than an automatic
@@blueboxof83 Do not get one, research it ( recall city )
@@BugattiRacing1 considering in the next few years there went be any new cars with manual transmissions, we're going to bed stuck with cvt.
And will it last any longer than existing CVT transmissions that seem to fail at around 100,000km costing a fortune to fix?
this seems to be chain driven so who knows.
Even Nissan CVTs can last more than 150k miles easily with regular 'Drain and Fill' procedures every 20-25k miles. Logic is to keep the fluid clean and protect the fluid from being burnt. Do the same to this Hyundai, it will last a very long time as well. :)
You are totally wrong the CVT transmission can survive for ever if use it properly and change transmission fluid frequently
@@MyLife2020 Definitely not forever and definitely not as long as the Regular Automatics. But they will last long. I have friends who have 200k+ miles. They changed their fluids regularly every 25k miles. I'm talking about Nissan cvts.
@NIGHT GAMING absolutely. :)
Is the oil of this transmission is changing
Wow! I bought the new 2018 Elentra with the dual clutch 7 speed automatic, primarily because it didn't have the CVT / IVT style transmission. I love it! Its characteristics are somewhat like a manual that you don't have to shift yourself. And boy is it quick for a 1.6L. When I buy again, I guess I'll be searching another model or manufacturer that doesn't install these transmission. ...Isn't it an Oxymoron to install a CVT / IVT transmission into a car that badges "Sport"? Though it appears Hyundai isn't doing it with their 2020 Sport model, I do believe many other manufacturers are. There is little chance these transmissions will survive very many hard starts that younger generation put these cars through, especially in hilly locals. I'll gladly give up a mpg or two for a reliable transmission. Once out of warranty, the car owner is in for a real shocker as these transmissions being to fail! $$$$$$
Dwayne White good to know thanks got 95 k miles to figure something out
you may have a big problem then. seeing how the entire industry is switching to these CVT TYPE of transmissions. i saw something yesterday i almost traded my 2019 elantra in but i didn't. a 2020 accent 1.8l with a MANUAL 6 speed for under $19,000. i could not believe my eyes. but take notice in the video. this transmission seems to be CHAIN driven. so the scare of the belt snapping may be over ?? who knows. i still say make a manual a special order option, i am willing to wait a few weeks to get one. yeah so the fuel economy will not be as good but i know this and wont complain one bit. i'm in it for the thrill of the ride and responsiveness you get from a direct link to the power plant.
Cvt transmissions are nothing new and in fact the "belt" shares more characteristics with a chain then a rubber belt. Ideally these CVT are actually easier to work on then a gear driven trans and perform better I mean look at F1 racing they banned the continuously variable transmission from the sport as it blew manual cars out of the water on its first pass. I for one am glad to see the effort into developing CVT transmissions they already use them in high performance ATV and they are so easy to work on a teenager could do it. Not to mention they allow for greater tuning to get optimal performance the fact is if they continue putting them into sport vehicles I believe eventually they will surpass the dual clutch transmission just for the fact they are much more efficient.
@@zack6892 CVTs are basically crap. From the write-up, though, it sounds like you are one of the designers?
@@zack6892 Toroidal CVTs are a different breed. Apples to oranges
I have Kia forte 2019 with cvt what's the transmission fluid suitable for it
18000 miles and had to get a whole new transmission. CVT are the worst transmission ever.
Which car?
@@lokeshdeshwal5288 2022 Elantra SEL
Why the heck didn't they put this on the Elantra Hybrid? It makes more sense to put this type of transmission on a fuel saving centered car than the 6-speed dual clutch they have on it now.
Wait, so you'll drop DCT on the hybrids? That's was a plus against the toyotas
@@stayphun6188 yep :-)
DCT on my ioniq is sometimes dumb, but gives you a good feeling when you want to "feel the gears".
Hey HyundaiUSA, I have a major question. My 2011 Hyundai Sonata has a SHIFTRONIC Manual-automatic transmission. What is SHIFTRONIC? And what does it do?
That's just a standard automatic transmission with a semi-manual override. You can hold a gear or shift manually up or down, but only in a limited range to protect the engine and transmission. Up or downshifts will also occur automatically, but only when hitting a high or low rev limit.
As someone that learned on manual, I really miss this feature in automatic cars that don't have it. It makes it possible to plan acceleration for passing or control speed on downhills (downshift), and lets me apply throttle in some situations without getting the kickdown.
How % significant IVT is, compared to the other transmission?
The value edition also comes with this (IVT) Intelligent Variable Transmission? What does it mean when you say that the fuel economy was raised? It costs less or more to refuel the tank? How do I change the welcome chime in 2020 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition Trim Level?
yes.
It means more miles per gallon.
Kia also has IVT.
My "go to guy" for car advice is Scotty Kilmer. To paraphrase him, "CVTs are crap." I drive a '16 Elantra with an old-school AT. No complaints. I'll wait 'til these so-called IVTs have been out 5-7 yrs and proven themselves. Looks like my next ride will not be a 2021 Elantra. 😧
If you are listening to Scotty Kilmer then no one should be listening to you.
If a manufacturer want to provide free maintenance for these transmissions then I will consider a otherwise forget it
Remember, it is 10-years or 100K miles -- but only until whichever of these 2 limits comes first. My old 2002 Audi A4 had a CVT, and it would have cost $7700 to replace it. Car was 13 years old at that time. So, a junker.
Is better normal automatic transmission.or manual. Those are to expensive to repair
I hope the Elantra sport sticks with a dct
Glad the sister Kia Forte has an IVT as well.
Screw that. Should be a manual.
I have a 2020 Elantra and the owner's manual says this transmission does not require fluid service. However, my dealership's service department just recommended transmission fluid flush for $330... so am I being scammed out of my $$$?
Hello, please reach out to our Customer Care team at (800) 633-5151, so we may further assist. ^cc
If I were you I would find an independent shop and have them flush your transmission using the Hyundai fluid. That is what I have done for my cars and I have never had any transmission issues.
What's it's service life? Can I tow 1500lbs with it?
You forgot to mention that these types of CVT's barely last 150,000 Km. Most of them have problems in less than 100K Km of driving. Toyota where the only manufacturer who got this right, but I still prefer Mazda's approach; They managed to make an improved planetary transmission (Regular A/T) that is just as economical as CVT's, but much more reliable.
For transmissions in 2020, Mazda indeed rules the roost. No monkey-business there with CVTs and ITVs.
Which Toyota?
@@estebanamador7601corolla
Expensive transmission to fix
All automatics are expensive to fix.
That’s why a manual transmission will always be better and last longer than an automatic transmission.
What about Hyundai Elentra 2017 is it worth buying
Definitely it is. Very easy to maintain. The 6 speed automatic is very reliable. I have the 2018 Elantra and the power train is the same. :)
Andy-Auto-Info well definitely came across one sayin it’s expensive to maintain ect ect. But was done research about it ppl be sayin about it’s engines aren’t that great. Has some problems before it gets to the 100 miles mark.
So idk I really still want it idk if wanna go though those problems
@@spartan362kauten8 I don't think so. Maintain the Engine in a proper way. Its all about good quality maintenance.
I have 33k miles on my Hyundai. I have not taken the car to the dealer at all. Only once for the 30k mile inspection. I do all fluid changes myself. :)
Keeping all fluids clean in the key! :)
I have 50,000 miles on my 2017 Elantra with no problems.
So basically it just a CVT with Hyundai specially tuned module
I don’t trust this type of belt transmission. My Nissan CVT went out at 65k right after the warranty expired.
Did you drain/fill the fluid at 20-30k miles?
I can recommend a simple trick that will make any CVT last 150k miles or more without any issue!
Just bought a 2019 without the CVT. From what I understand it was the last year. Because all the 2020s had the CVT but I maybe wrong.
Andy-Auto-Info No I didn’t change the fluid in the Nissan. It wasn’t in the maintenance book I had.
@@Call_Me_Dragon tbats why it failed. CVT heats up faster than an automatic because of the belt. Which burns the fluid and deteriorates it quickly. Easy drain and fill every 20-25k miles for a cvt makes jt last longer. Drain and fill 2 times every 25k miles is the best maintenance for CVTs.
Nice
Im on my second transmission in my 2020 and it growning and whining the same as the original. Makes the car sound like crap on acceleration
I am from Romania and I just put an order for the 2021 hyundai elantra limited 123 hp. On the contract it says cvt; it isn't ivt ?
Hyundai / Kia are using their version of continuous variable transmission (cvt) called intelligent variable transmission. IVT. I have a 2019 Kia forte with same transmission. I'm skeptical whether it will last. Owner's manual say do not change out the fluid. Which mechanics say the fluid needs to be changed out after 40,000 miles. Overheating has to be biggest issue. Oh well. If I knew this info. I would have probably not purchase it.
Never Never Never Never by a car, any brand with a CTV tran IVT = CTV junk EPA crap!!!!
Have 2020 less than 3 weeks old and both times I've driven up the Grapevine the car shifts so much and goes nowhere never got above 65 either, wish I would have bought a Corolla!
It CVT Transmission you will satisfied with it after few weeks and CVT better than teptronic transmission
@@MyLife2020 no it's not this is the best cvt on the market everybody knows Mountain driving the car loses a lot of power corolla will be worse
Nah. I much prefer good old MT . They last long, service is easy and repairs are cheaper. Not to mention it's the best theft deterrent around in 2023.

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, 8 gears shiftronic-Going to a trip in the mountains, on a wavy up amd down road, I realized the transmission shifts, quite often, through 8-7-6 gears going up and 6-7-8 going down. I know that frequent shifts gets the transmission hot, so I decided to go on manual and drive 30 miles on gear 6 alone - average rpm higher, of course ( because no cycling gears 7 and 8 ) - maybe up to 3500 rpm. Is that ok? ( so just one lower gear and higher rpm versus cycling quite fast through several other gears)
You will burn your engine never drive with rpm to high for to long.
RPM of 3500 is not going to hurt the engine. They are designed to work perfectly at much higher RPMs. You did the correct thing using manual and staying in the same gear to reduce the frequent shifts.
Some wisecrackers here. 3500 RPM is not "high" RPM. So, you did the right thing on that hill climb, the only sensible thing, too.
You can also downshift in an automatic to keep it from constantly changing gears…
Who makes these CVT IVT transmissions? Is it Hyundai or another company?
Not sure but i believe they are made by Hyundai, if info i got from someone else is correct.
@@patphatkitten It is definitely not the same CVT than what Nissan buys and installs in theirs.
Hyundai Transys Inc.
Does anyone know here how to see speed in the centre of the speedometer in elantra 2020???
probably pressing reset when you have the options open. thats how i figured it out on my 2022 accent.
Whats the point of adding a variable transmission if you're just going to program it to act and sound like a conventional transmission? Why even give me the option to "switch gears" in manual mode?
If you're gonna give it a soulless transmission, at least make it act like one. The way you program them right now makes them less efficient.
That's actually when driving 70+ mph.
??? What does this even mean? Any speed below 35mph it acts like a conventional transmission, switching ratios very abruptly. If it were to act like a real cvt it wouldn't have abrupt changes, it would constantly change to keep the ram the same
Garbage. I’m driving a 2024 Hyundai Kona.This IVT transmission doesn’t shift smoothly. When needing to accelerate quickly there’s about a 5 seconds before the transmission catches up. Then the RPMs jump. IVT is nonsense. In theory it sounds good but in practice it’s garbage.
Hyundai upped the design factor but has taken a huge leap backwards with a CVT. Should have kept their DCT tranmissions instead
Lee Steven Brown Elizabeth Brown Brian
stick to standard 6 and 8 speed transmissions. these cvt, imt, dct and ivt are trash.
If that's all Hyundai offers for the drivetrain, they'll sell less. Still waiting for Hyundai to make a small truck....so slow to put it in production.
look for it in 2021 coming from alabama plant. look for sticker shock starting around $30,000.00 with only a 2 door model available. so in a sense a honda ridgeline from korea.
basically, its just a CVT... nothing new
Well this video doesn’t explain how it works at all…
CVT is the worst human invention ever
i swear to god
It's the time for Hyundai to drop 4-speed, 6-speed transmission and replace theme with IVT for better driving experince and reliability.
CVT's are noted for their poor reliability .
It’s same as DSG from Skoda Volkswagen
STOP MAKING THESE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS, regular torque converter from Hyundai are way more reliable. If you still making IVT Hyundai-Kia will die like Nissan.
A belt same w/automatic scooter. this no good. for me. it will not lasts
The Kia uses a steel belt. I believe Hyundai does as well being like a sister company to Kia.
ninemilliondollars the transmission is a Hyundai transmission. Kia uses transmission and engines and all components from Hyundai.
@@zabryant01 That does make sense. When I upgraded the navigation software, it was Hyundai's product.
Another name for a CVT which equals garbage and just something to put more money in their pocket because they are cheaper to make . I'll only buy a normal transmission which are pretty good these days .
Looks identical to the ones Subaru make must of copied them along with everything else, grilles, two toning, headlights etc...
Sister, nephew, and brother in law all drive Subarus. Nephew's tranny already gone on his WRX. Sister's All wheel drive dealership extended her transmission warranty to 100k miles. She thinks the transmission isn't going to last. She thinks the all wheel drive is wearing the tranny out sooner than later. They are very disappointed with their Subaru. The older Subaru were the good ones.
Got one of these as a loaner this week. It's a garbage CVT, nothing more. Drives horribly. just like the Nissans
Had a 2019 Altima SR for the week, and it was a good drive. "Peppy" it got up to speed, didnt feel the "rubber band effect" like the corrola i had rented a year ago. I dont know how long it will last, but I was impressed. I still trust a traditional automatic more, but maybe nissan is figuring it out..idk.
Omg! I'm in the market to buy a car but guess what kia and Hyandai now have cvt / ivt, you are in the same way that Nissan, piece of trash cars. Mazda is the best option these days.
belt on transmission... = highly maintenance . i will buy civic for safe
It's got more in common with a chain then a belt and it's actually easier to work on then a regular geared transmission assuming you can get the same reliability.
It’s a chain not a belt.
@@yankees29 a belt that is squizing not good cause worn later on
civic is also cvt...
@@theadvocate4698 nope
Sad that Hyundai is switching to cvt / ivt. A car with a CVT is like driving a rubber band. No power, slow acceleration. I had a civic with a CVT. It was awful. Glad it got stolen and went back to Hyundai because they use regular automatics, but I guess when it’s time to replace my 2017 Elantra I will have to think twice. I’d rather drive a standard than a CVT
I have the 2021 and god forbid anything happens with the transmission but if it does and it’s out of warranty then I’m getting a Camry
2022 accent and i get plenty of power and acceleration. idk about your experience
I had a 2017 Elantra. Tyranny was a pos! Didn't last 100,00.
Just bought 2023 Elantra. Love it!
CVT r junk..
Nice
