- This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updated 2024 Hyundai Elantra compact sedan. The 2024 Hyundai Elantra gets a refresh, this sedan offers a lot of value! We are driving the gas model with a 2L 4-cylinder matched to an intelligent variable transmission, 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, FWD only. The 2024 Hyundai Elantra still has sharp, angular lines but a more streamlined front fascia and sculpted rear lower fascia compared to the outgoing model, it has a black grille, body coloured door handles, a new flat stainless steel Hyundai emblem, updated exterior lighting elements and sleek headlights making it quite a unique looking sedan.
This 2024 Hyundai Elantra model has some new safety features for 2024 like rear side airbags, a rear seat belt reminder and steering wheel haptic feedback added to lane keep assist, blind spot collision warning and rear-cross traffic alert.
The 2024 Hyundai Elantra cabin is modern and comfortable with standard cloth upholstery, available premium cloth which we have on our test model and new leatherette seating surfaces in light grey or black. There’s also a redesigned wireless charging pad and soft touch front door panels.
Standard 2024 Hyundai Elantra features include, an 8” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. If you add the available 10.25” touchscreen with navigation which we have on our test model, you get wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
Other available 2024 Hyundai Elantra features include, a 10.25” digital driver display, wireless charger, 8-speaker Bose sound system, a heated steering wheel, hands-free power trunk, 64-colour ambient lighting and a moonroof. The Elantra does not offer ventilated fronts seats or heated rear seats and in the US, a heated steering wheel is not available.
2024 Hyundai Elantra fuel economy is good especially on the highway, the Elantra gets 7.6L/100 km, 31 MPG city and 5.7L/100 km, 41 MPG highway.
The 2024 Hyundai Elantra Essential starts at $24,506 CAD, Preferred $26,306 CAD, Preferred + trend package (our test model) $28,256 CAD and Luxury $30,506 CAD. In the US, SE $21,475 USD, SEL $23,425 USD, SEL Convenience package $25,175 USD and Limited $26,915 USD.
What’s new for 2024? The 2024 Hyundai Elantra gets a new front and rear design with LED taillights across the body, new wheel designs, a new flat stainless steel Hyundai emblem and more customer friendly safety and technology features like new rear side airbags, rear seat belt reminder and steering wheel haptic feedback added to lane keep assist, blind spot collision warning and rear-cross traffic alert. Updates to the interior include a redesigned wireless charging pad, new soft touch front door panels, new leatherette seat surfaces and new colour choices.

great video by an awesome pair of reviewers!
Reviewing car like this I think should be more common as these are themost selling vehicles and people who are thinking about a car in this category range are newcomers or newer drivers who in my opinion need a lot of direction in there search. So if super great guys like you explains the details it is a blessing. Thank you for your great work.
finally, I was witting for your review for 6 month.
They finally fixed the front look. The rear still needs improvement. My biggest concerns with Hyundai and Kia are reliability, resale value and awful dealerships.
Agree. Quality isn’t still great.
HMG has *consistently* been in the top if not #1 (depending on model) in reliability for over a decade now. They've beaten *both* Toyota and Honda in previous years as a brand, they do brand rankings (CR) as well.
Some still believe they're the same budget car company they were in the late 80s/90s. Check Consumer Reports, JD Power, Edmund's etc and see for yourself. Some in the general public's assumptions on reliability are outdated. Not just Hyundais but those who many assume are the most reliable.
JD Power gives the 2023 Elentra a 79, Civic 81, Corolla 77 😉🤯 for example. The Corolla for instance is helped because of resale of 84 otherwise is below every other ranking including reliability.
Another perceived metric that doesn't equal reality. That Toyota is more reliable when they're not, they're perceived to be so get more $ on resale.
I have one with 225K KM on it, and the only thing that broke was the front radar sensor. So far it has been one of the most reliable cars I've owned. Resale value is also good. Check out what used ones are selling for and you'll be surprised. What's awful about the dealerships? I have had no problem with the one in my area that I go to.
agree. My father had a 2013 santa fe 2.0T and the engine blew up at 154k. He regularly maintained the car at the dealership. He told me he would never buy another kia or hyundai product. I dont blame him.
2024 Paint is peeling off, horrible.
I have a 2017 Elantra. On the way to work one day the engine blew. After proving all my maintenance Hyundai replaced the engine. The same day I got the car back the engine light came on. Took it back and turns out the new engine was bad. They replaced the engine again. Each costing $7500. All covered under warranty. They had my car for 3 months. I got it back it back 3 days ago. So far so good.
Does your Elantra have the 2.0L or the 1.6L turbo? Also, how many miles were on the original engine when it blew? I owned a 2018 Elantra 2.0L from new up to 25k miles. The only engine issue it had was faulty ignition coils.
It is the 2.0 and it had 87k miles. I also had the ignition coil problem at around 35k.
Realistically not many people could do without their car for 3 months. I hope they gave you a free loaner
@@theoutdoordude2259 do you know specifically what went wrong with both engines? I know the 2019-2022 2.0L Elantras have an engine recall for faulty piston rings. They burn excessive oil and seize. I've not heard of that being a problem on the 2017-2018 though, so I'm wondering what's causing those engine failures.
Thanks so much for the reviews I do like the new front end.
Sport mode slide is like our 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS AWD and it is still running great with 296thou km ❤ keep up the good work 🙏
There is no way you have a hyundai with that kind of km on it unless 200,000 of those km's were while being pushed along by a Toyota.
GREAT REVIEW - SPOT ON.
Thx you two!! Soooo glad my stinger was hardly touched at all in it's way too short run. Still like the 2020 rear taillight signature best!
No one does couples car review better than you guys! Keep up the good work🎉 hopefully we will see the 2024 Elantra N in Canada soon.
They'll be on the local scrap yards in no time, just like all of Hyundai's garbage products should go. Buy Nissan!!!
@@sue122. Nissan has an even more problematic history… the way the corp is being ran does not feel me with confidence.
Great video review.
Great review...love it
Thank you for all of your reviews. They are very thorough, informative and fun.
As I Am The Car Guy in the family, they will be very helpful in making an informed decision by my son on the purchase of two new vehicles in the near future.
He is considering the Camry XSE Hybrid and for the 2nd vehicle the
Kia Sportage Hybrid.
Prior to me getting involved he was looking at the Cadillac ct5 v Blackwing and the Genesis G80!
Oy 🤦
We will have to see if dealerships are going to try to charge over MSRP. Because, to me, that's a non-starter.

This looks like it’s bigger than the 2009 Sonata I had for about two years. I got rid of it when the white paint started peeling and Hyundai did nothing to fix it. I love the 24 Sonata appearance and look forward to the review. This Elantra is well equipped with a great price point, but those creases on the side are horrible. Great review as always!
In Korea and/or other markets the Hyundai has a:
-front camera
-memory seats
-wireless entry (with a cell phone)
-headlight levelling
-ventilated front seats
-LED tail lamps
and that's just what I know off the top of my head.... Makes me mad that we are missing out on so much on a great car.
Hey Zack! What is that strange looking lever on the left side of the console with a thumb button on the top? I saw one on the new Lada, and it was called"handbrake".
Hey guys, love your videos! I do have a suggestion: post links in the 'cars to consider' section to your reviews of them :)
I like the exterior looks
Bought mine Friday. Love iy
Sucker !
Nice looking car. I’m surprised you don’t mention the Kia Forte and the Mazda 3 sedan as other competitors in the segment.
Been waiting for this video, this car looks really good 🎉
Is the center armrest tilted towards the passenger seat it look like it in the video
My wife has a 2020 Venue that also has the same 'IVT' and I'm always impressed with the zip it has when I drive it. Seems quicker off the line than my 2018 Elantra even though it has less horsepower. Seems like they did a good job with that transmission.
I like the looks of this generation but what I hate is the size. We have smaller spots for compact cars in our building and my 2018 fits very well with a bit of room to spare, but my neighbour has a 2023 model and the back end sticks out a bit.
I don't need a bigger car and if anything happened to my Elantra, I'd probably get a Venue to replace it.
Great review as always. How sad, Buick no longer has any cars to offer yet Hyundai has no problem cranking them out year after year.
Thanks!
My son has a 2022 Elantra and he set the cruise control at 100 km/h on the 401 to see what economy he could get and the car reported he was getting 4.4 l/100km,
MPG< THIS IS AMERICAAAAA
@@pokemonjynx1019 actually...this is Canada...a Canadian youtube channel
The circle on the left side of the instrument cluster is where the drive mode button is located in the U.S. models.
would love you to test the n line
I had a 2012 Sonata but sadly I was in a accident and it was totaled. I then got a Elantra. A fun and zippy little car.Just as long as weather conditions are perfect,Definitely helps getting all season tires and not the hancook's they usually come with. It was terrible in the winter and not great on wet roads. I will say when i went to upgrade a little over 2 years ago...i saw the new Elantra model and was tempted to get it. I actually ended up getting a Camry. I think in the right region...Elantra is a great car, affordable and stylish.
Nice 👍 review as always
The Elantra is a nice looking car
but those creases would make waxing the car painful
I work for Hyundai. Most of us were disappointed by this refresh. In general, most ppl hate the side creases, rear design and passenger seat cannot be raised yet in previous gen CAN be raised 🤦🏻♀️
Great review folks, but Mother-in-laws really don't need armrests, Zack 😊
No, but no cupholders in the back seat is infuriating
If that’s a facelift, the patient should sue. It looks like an origami nightmare built from the spare parts bin.
What dongle do you use, Zack?
Thanks for reviewing some cars that don't break the bank. Prices in general are so over the top i don't see how a family can afford them. Heck a car isn't even an investment unless u get a collector type and then why would you drive it. As far as looks i really don't like it. Not the front or back end. I know a few people who have owned a Hyundai and had mechanical issues so i tend to stick with Japanese cars or even American ones. Anyways good review
Personally... this is just my own experience. Hyundai/kia dealerships are the worst I've been to. They are the most rude, stuck up places I've been to.
This was mostly from their upper staff and that experience though just one in particular puts enough of a bad taste behind me that I'll never go to one. Then the FI guy from Hyundai actually came into my own workplace and he was as much of a pos out of work as he was at his own workplace.
The recent Hyundai/Kia allegations I've been seeing don't paint it in a good light.
I hope the incidents are isolated and I'm sure they are.... somewhat. (FI people are never painted in a good light, except I will say the one I worked with when I worked at a dealership 15 yrs ago was, but the market was different back then). But its enough to put me off to just say no. It shouldn't have taken that other person with the battery issue on their Ionic for nearly $60,000 for them to go as far as they did. They should have just helped their customer but they chose to not care until the customer got the media involved. If they hadn't, the person would had no choice than to write off their car.
I have never had good experiences at Kia. They aren't where they were years ago. When demand is high, they act all high and mighty. They're pretty stuck up.
The trims are different also because I believe the Canadian models are built in Korea while the US models are built in the US. So the cars for the two markets do not come off the same assembly line.
I used to have an Elantra: 1 I agree, Hyundai does facelifts too often, I felt my car looked old after 1 year. 2 My other complaint is the headlights getting sun burn.
I recently bought a new 2023 Kia forte gt line with packages and it’s an amazing car. 25k with 10 way power ventilated seats, etc. But man the cvt feels wierd.. really really wierd compared to my previous sedan with an automatic transmission paired to a v6
Not having the unnecessary power seat and armrest is why they can offer this car as a ”good deal”.. I think its great that they are offering a good affordable car.
Drove one of these as a rental car, and was blown away by it. Never would have imagined it was a 147hp car for under $30,000 CAD. These are great cars for the money, and I love the fact that this has a non turbo engine with multi port injection rather than direct.
sure its great for the money upfront but you will pay later for the repairs. Quality and reliability with hyundai is not great.
Another great review! I love that you guys put out two reviews a week and your format is excellent!
By the way, does anyone remember cars before the eighties? They used to make changes to the front and rear every year, so you could tell what year it was by looking at it. Now, most manufacturers make one mild mid-cycle refresh. I give Hyundai credit for being bold enough to make major changes with each re-design. Car design has become boring! Now, if Hyundai could build better engines and step up their reliability, they would be an even better value!
Hi. Does anyone have any idea how big the ground clearance is?
I see a lot of these on the road and I own one myself (23), its fun to drive, priced well, great on gas and reliable but I’m not liking the refresh.
Yea I don’t like the refresh either. Something about the front end looks like it’s squished? It’s too busy, and the rear lights should’ve been redesigned as well.
They should put standard captains chair and put out a N line one
I have always considered this vehicle, and its kia twin, mid sized. Imo, the corolla and similar are compacts. I based this on not only exterior length but interior space.
I would trade the heated steering wheel for the 360-degree camera available on the US model
Peppier - the salesperson told me the hybrid in all the ratings is quicker - but the petro-only one feels faster when you drive them. Everyone complements the look of the car BUT other brand loyalists who are trolling 😅that said, the main reason I got black was to hide the grill, pull in the black wheels which I was not quite understanding. I looked into the iVT at the time as I was not wanting CVT. As noted, the iVT uses a VERY expensive chain and engineering around that - it should be more durable than CVT and cost quite a bit more to manufacture - again the components are more expensive. Unlike CVT the gear ratios do not need to be set during manufacturing - and can be quickly adjusted by the computer depending on how it is being driven. Yes on the armrest - cupholders too - the back seat area is huge and comfortable but could it be more boring.
I was in one of these a week ago and was impressed with the amount of hard plastic. Having kids this car is perfect because spills are easy to clean. And because its so cheap feeling inside means you wont care that it gets trashed and looks like crap. One thing i hated was the center console that doubles as a handle. Every time i got in it i smashed my knee on it. I would rather walk if this car was my only option.
Question at 08:40 was something that has been on my mind since many years ago. WHY DO the manufacturers do that?
When I sold hyundais it was always interesting how they offered ventilated seats on the hybrid but not the gas model.
The 2018 Elantra was the best and timeless looking one. They jumped the shark after that.
I love my 2018 and I'll be done paying it off this year. Zero issues, quiet and smooth ride. Still smile when I look back at it!
@@doncastro5752 which engine does your car have?
@@DozyBeeChief2.0L Atkinson cycle, 6 speed auto.
Great review. But Hyundai and their Angles... Oof. A bridge too far. "They missed it by this 🤏 much!"
My current second car is a 2008 Elantra with 192k miles on board. That generation is bulletproof. I was interested in a 2024 as a replacement, but all the dealerships around me (Northeast U.S.) are some of the sleaziest goblins you'll ever see. So, no more Hyundai for me in the near future.
Miles ? in your dreams . You'd be lucky to get that even in km's . Miles, bahahaha.
@@mikemike5190 Yup, can confirm it's miles. I double checked.
OMG independent… so excited. The solid twist beam is awful over bumps/poor road conditions. It’s great (sarcasm) as the back end slides sideways over a bump. I think the geo metros had independent and they never had that problem.
8:08 sneaking in dat spice! 🌶😎😅
BTW I think the circle on the dash is metal behind it so you can use a magnet like fridge to put up a picture of your sweetheart!
I would have liked to see some comparison with the Mazda 3. I'm probably keeping my 2015 Golf going instead of trading in, but the Mazda 3 does have my attention a little bit.
Mazda3 in a few weeks.
Why don't you trade in your Golf and get a 2024 or 2025 GTI?
Mazda 3 … 190 hp, 6 speed automatic, out handles anything in this class, 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. Why would you look anywhere else but your Mazda dealership? 😊
@@janoycresnova9156 Because they didn't want to sell me one. They offered me $9,000 on trade for my nearly perfect Golf with 56,000KMs. Then they want $42,000 for the GTI and won't move on the price.
@@thomobrien1854 6spd is only available on the top trim unfortunately. 😔
I understand what Neil is talking about regarding refreshes. All manufacturers update their style often, and this has been true for nearly a century. Brands like Audi and BMW are selling consumers on looking like they are driving those luxury brands. Because of this, drastic changes are a bad strategy so their designs are more evolutionary. This hasn’t always been the case with those manufacturers and it wasn’t until they got that prestige that they could get away with it. Other manufactures from Hyundai to Toyota to ford have to provide exciting new refreshes to entice buyers into buying new models, Hyundai just seems to be more drastic with the changes about every 4 years.
10:22 you are right and it’s because they were able to get a Tesla Model 3 for $30k USD I think
I think the Elantra could have gone more ambitious for the facelift. There's a lot of things they could have changed interior and feature wise. It looks a bit out of place with the new Kona, Santa Fe and the upcoming Sonata and Tucson facelifts. I would have liked to see the turbo hybrid system in it without the DCT, and newer infotainment and technology. I think due to being their cheapest car, they had to be restrained to undercut the competition. It is still better than the tiny and loud Corolla, and while the Civic is better, it costs more and lacks a hybrid currently.
Elantra needed a design change but I would agree she is not the prettiest girl at the dance. Interior has not changed. I know this sounds petty but I like my heated steering wheel. I also like a wireless WIFI and CarPlay. I like your reviews. Info you provide is right on. Thanks.
There ought to be a full EV version of the Elantra !!! Like the original Ioniq but all modernized !!!
Hyundai must think that a timeless design means no clock on the dashboard.
I've had one for the pasty week. Really impressed with the roominess and general overall driving refinement. Small bits are that the center stack controls are nice , the layout of the controls isn't as optimal as it could be. However the rear view is atrocious, a sedan like a Corolla or a Civic could be following you and you'd only basically see the roof down to the mid of the windshield of the following car.
👍👍
My they have come a long way! One of my first ‘serious’ jobs was doing Auto Shows/Mall Shows (1984/5?). It was during the years of the Stellar and Pony (both standard with 4(!) speed manual transmissions) and as Hyundai were about to launch the Excel. I have always had a soft spot for the Hyundai… though not enough to buy one. They were considered a bit of a joke back then, but then again so was Honda and Toyota (a little less so though). These new/latest models of the company are damn impressive, understanding where they’ve come from… and this one is no exception. Well done them! Although sharp looking… It is still not for me (this model, and it’s styling), but maybe one day - a Genesis? Thanks for the video.
Great vehicle for tall people!!
More room than competitors, but you might need to get one without sunroof if you are well above average.
Oh nice future modern sporty design! Too bad no power seat! Great for young people including the hybrid one. Great show Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
It's a good affordable option for people who are on a tighter budget. Glad you enjoyed the review, thanks for watching.
@@andreaspencer9813 Exactly! 👍🏻 I always enjoy your video. Here’s! ☕️☕️
99k on my 2019 forte and I’m waiting for a back-ordered replacement engine ‘cause the engine burns half its oil every 4000kms. I’ve done oil changes every 6000kms. Last Hyundai/Kia I’ll ever buy.
Still driving my 2013 Elantra. Over 200k km, and just regular maintenance. 1 repair for 200 bucks. It's been like a Toyota for me. No cvt, no turbo, no screens, just a comfy, reliable and even fun to drive car. Hope to get another 10 years out of it. Oh ya, I Krown rust proofed it every year so not a speck of rust either; not even underneath (and I'm in Ontario Canada with winter, salt, etc and car lives outdoors). Still, would never buy a cvt car. Too many nightmare stories regarding cvts from people I know. So, never, ever, will I buy a cvt. Mine has a 6 speed semi-auto. Got over 6 grand off when I bought it too. Deal of a lifetime so far.
Hyundai has been killing it with design lately… but this isn’t one of them. It looks very dated and looks like they are trying too hard. Hopefully, the next refresh will give people in that price range a nice looking vehicle. If you’re looking to go Korean o suggest the Kia forte. Much nicer.
Nice review but I would get a Subaru over this for the AWD.
That 2.0l engine should be in the Venue paired to an AWD. Since the Kona is a lot bigger now Hyundai needs to pump up the little Venue, not in size.... The Venue's size is perfect.
The Elentra is a lot better, I don't like it but it's better.
Hyundai is also catering to the Asian markets with the frequent styling changes because the Asian buyers expect "newness"... it's especially true in China 🇨🇳. I'm thinking that a Corolla Hybrid is more of a value in this class, with excellent fuel efficiency and resale value.
Hyundai gives you so much more than the others , bet that corolla dosent even gave remote start on the fob, Hyundai is way ahead of them .
Hyundai withholds a lot of features in Canada, like digital key options, etc. I don't know why but there is a long list of withheld features on their Genesis models. I suspect it is because they don't make as much profit on Canadian models. Pick a similar model in the US, apply the exchange rate and then compare to the Canadian price...the CDN cost is generally quite a lot less than the calculation. So they hold costly features back. Just a guess...
@Motormouth
*Regarding the so called "research" when it comes to marketing....most of the time when they do "clinics" it is conducted by a separate marketing research company, and that company will come back with the results that the company that paid them wants to see. It's pretty much nonsense.* When it comes to the manufacturing company costs which are a top priority they should in fact just place all the potential options in the vehicle that require extra hardware, and then allow the body control module to either activate them or not.* It's costing the mfr money to select certain units to have or not have that hardware in the end. The more volume they purchase from the vendor the less cost per item.
The top trim is N-Line (and that is if we don't include the N). Definitely not Luxury. You didn't even mention it when discussing the features. You guys should do better research.
Its style screams too loud to my liking, but in every aspect it's undeniably one of the best in the segment.
The kia forte is less edgy for styling.
yeah, engine blow up in 4 year
The Hyundai executives are looking up “ not the prettiest girl at the party”😂
Ugh they STILL kept that circled minus sign on the dash to tell you that you don't have everything, it's so tacky
I drove a rental car that had this transmission in it and I’m telling you what it was better than the Honda I think!
I love to rent the Elantra, it’s really fun and easy to drive. The new look is awful and hate the larger size. Reminds me of an 80’s car style.
No CVTs for me. It's sad that manufacturers who have manual transmissions (for other models) don't offer it as an option for those who want it.
I would prefer by a long shot, to wait 6 months to get my car and get it with a manual instead of immediate delivery with a CVT.
Also, plenty of auto transmissions with top notch performance. Put that instead of the CVT. But hey, that's just me.
Keep the videos coming! Cheers
@sarge27271
BINGO. I prefer manual transmission cars for many reasons, one is simplicity and reliability, a CVT is a no go for me as well. I'd gladly order a manual version if offered and wait to have it delivered months later.
Jetta and Mazda3 are the last manual
@@Motormouth... Yes true, so not much choice. Other markets have plenty of manual models on offer. I'll keep my 1996 VW Golf with the manual and continue to enjoy it's great simplicity, and reliability as well. The last great Volkswagens came in the 1990s. The current Jetta is not a hatchback, nor is it very durable and reliable. The Mazda, while a better car, is pretty expensive for what you get.
I rented a Elantra last year and I thought the grab handle on the passenger side looked really weird. Not a good interior design and not something I would buy.
That ridiculous barrier/bar down the right side of the centre console talked me out of getting this car.
I really don't like the new Hyundai's style. I drive Hyundai Elantra 2018 . It is the best looking Elantra!
I was gonna say this... 2018 was the best look, especially that Marina Blue one.
Facelift? No, it's a facelower.
Can't get past the odd/weird styling.
It looks nice, and has a lot of features. But I am looking for long-term reliability. Turning 60 this year and am wanting a car that will last me thru retirement. So my choice is coming down to Corolla/Impreza/Civic (2.0 only)/Mazda3
Not sure I trust the long term reliability of Hyundai/Kia
mazda3 or impreza
Honestly, looks like someone stomped on the front of the car, it looks way too flat; resulting the angle of the slope coming to the front looking rather awkward. Suprised lots of people are liking the change, can't really get behind it myself.
"Still not the prettiest girl in the dance/party" lol! You two are great. I agree btw. I wish it looked better.
Zack: What is "Telegram?"
Ignore it, it is spam, we keep reporting it to CZcams.
Nice design interior and exterior, but those emblems might be better if on its grille
I often wonder why the Kia equivalent doesn't get as much love as the Elantra.
Good observation, maybe because you see more of Elantra on the road
It looks like an old Saturn
The rear looks like it's been dented.
I just bought a 2022 elantra. Amazed at all the tech it has. You did not touch on that. 😢
RIP elantra touring
