I absolutely love this glorious head turner, it screams "look at me", and not everyone will be mad about the design, but at least it dares to make a statement in this current dreary era of huge boxy vehicles. This is a winner for me, great review 😊
You mentioned that this car has adaptive cruise control...but it doesn't have ACC...Australia missed out on this, while Korean spec got it for '24 model.
Currently have the cerato GT My23 thinking of trading it in for the i30n sedan facelift but not having adaptive cruise control is actually a massive problem do u know if they will add that later on? perhaps a mid life cycle update?
@@satinder4367No one knows, but my guess is it will be a 2025 update. Personally it doesn't both me. You use ACC and get stuck behind some slow driver. The car is meant to be driven. I can see how it would be useful if you maybe do a lot of highway driving.
No adaptive cruise control for the Australian market mate. But otherwise a great review, love the car, just got one in manual. Keep up the good reviews.
Yes! Mine is also like that! I had to do a double take and check both sides to make sure it was normal. You would only notice it from that particular low angle, so it's a non-issue, to me at least.
It's very clear that the Australian version is the exact version of the Korean spec. I do prefer the North American spec, though (the seats have a sportier look). The seats are manually adjusted, though, which was a choice to slim off additional weight versus the powered seats. MSRP in Canada will most likely be around the $42k CAD mark (plus tax, 13% in Ontario). My current lease is up this December, so I'm definitely upgrading to the Elantra N 2024. I'm driving a 2022 base model (6 speed manual), paying $72.00 weekly.
It's a bit annoying TBH. You have to turn it off everytime the car turns on. Occasionally it's been helpful when I genuinely did not know the speed limit. But it cant detect school zone times. It doesnt matter if it's not a school time, the car will beep at you each time you pass a school zone, telling you that you should be going 40kmh.
@@jessexiIt's pretty significant, not sure why it was left out. Also, not much mention of bluelink, probably because he didn't have it linked to his personal phone. Bluelink is amazing for 2024, and makes me forget about the speed limit warnings. I've been remotely starting the car with aircon on and seat coolers on when it's hot. I forgot to lock the car the other day, and bluelink sent me a notification to my phone saying the car was not locked - so I just locked it remotely. Then it gives you a notification advising that the lock was successful. Also has GPS so I can locate the car and track it if I get lost in the car park! Also can check how much petrol I've got left and start valet mode remotely. Pretty awesome and handy.
The pre face lift (22-23) looks better.. design is more cohesive.. this version looks like they shoe horned the sonata front end on it, the bonnet don’t match the front properly.. get the pre face lift 22-23 and fit powerflex bushings and better car.. its lights too the old shape
At 6:08 of the video is reported that car has 16.3 cubic feet or 464 liters of trunk or boot space. This is the typical FAKE GOURMET sedan, the one that comes ready to be swallowed by an SUV. In the ranking of decent sedans (TOP 500 SEDANS) with a trunk capacity above 500 liters or 17.6 cubic feet it does not enter.

Actually, absolutely everyone with be mad about the design. Just with different definitions of the word.
@@MaxxKoggenhahaha very true 😊
Just a point. The light bar is not full width. It's just a chrome strip in the middle of the lights.

It does have ACC. I test drove one, the other day. I'm looking at buying one, and the was a deal breaker if it didn't have it.
@@BigBirdMustang I own this car. It doesnt have adaptive cruise control. The other models in the range may have it, but not the N. ❤
Wonder if it can be retrofitted at all?

Is the bonnet panel gap meant to be like that at 3:57
Yes! Mine is also like that! I had to do a double take and check both sides to make sure it was normal. You would only notice it from that particular low angle, so it's a non-issue, to me at least.
Yes, its part of the car's bonnet over fender design.

The US seats are much cooler. We get them in Aus on the facelift i30N hatch
These seats are way more comfortable than the buckets. Cooled heated and lumbar support
@@mharro88 yeah, our seats are better, but they don’t look nearly as cool without the light up N logo
I hope we get the manual ebrake here in Canada.
And I think it looks much more mature and fantastic.
What about the ridiculously large turning circle? Need to avoid multilevel carparks?
Why cant they just style it closer to the tcr car which is super good looking
Much effort is put on everything but what about engine and performance
I can understand how people are drawn to this car , but not for me ,
I prefer German cars that don’t go over the top with most things
Love the wheels and flat badges. I
Prefer the PFL though. More unique
i got the hatch wheels on my pfl xpt they fit
the gaurds lol
@@damienfrizzell9394 does it ride better with lighter hatch wheels ?
@@mharro88 bro honestly cant tell but they look killa
Get rid of those geometric shapes at the size, and this car will be perfect
the octane learning is a real turn off the sedans, very very stupid. Glad I got the hatch back.
Mechanical LSD ? Its suposed to have a E LSD
It has an E LSD, this guy got it wrong
Also doesn’t have adaptive cruise control in Australia or the 360 degree camera.
Yes it does now. I drove one in Melbourne last week.
So if this is a competitor to the Subaru WRX I'd be interested in seeing a comparison review.
It's a competitor to the Honda Civic Type R as well. In North America, that is, and for substantially less ($10k CAD less)
I have the 23 nline. I think the previous look was more aggressive for the i30 which I liked. It looks more like a kia stinger in the front now
It's not just about the looks. It's the improved airflow to provide less air friction. I'm getting the 2024 Elantra N for sure.
How about the speed limit detection function ?

Thanks for your comment. It’s a shame nothing’s been mentioned in the review 😢

Too much cheap plastic and piano black … why don’t car manufacturers learn that it makes a huge difference in look and feel for very little cost
Boring...i was under impression the Oz model would have electronic push button handbrake and one peice illuminated fron seats..😢
Electronic push button is not a miss at all lol

The design was designed to improve air flow. People that are knowledgeable care about those details.
arent the new wheels lighter
i think they changed the engine mounts too for less wheel hop in the 24.
@@thedragon6499makes zero difference. It's heavier and slower
@mharro88 I'm not here to spill out the amount of improvements made to this model year. That's not my job. Plenty of CZcams videos to educate you
This model is Elantra N, who scammed you? :))))

If it is FWD, then it is not a competitor to AWD or RWD vehicles.
It's better than some of them. Drive it
