  • čas přidán 4. 08. 2024
  • I spend a week with the 2024 Hyundai Elantra Limited, which gets a refresh for the 2024 model year. The changes only improve the Elantra, and combined with great looks, great tech and good amounts of space, all at the lowest price in the segment, the 2024 Elantra is a very strong value in my opinion and well worth considering if you'd rather save some money over the more expensive competitors. What do you think about the 2024 Elantra? Thanks to Hyundai for providing this vehicle to review!

    I recently bought a Sentra and I love it. If you haven't driven a "compact" sedan lately you might be surprised. They are basically the same size as a mid sized sedan from 15 or 20 years ago. I saw one of these Elantras the other day and in that red it's a really sharp looking car.

      The N version really transforms it, so aside from a similar view from the drivers seat (visibility, surroundings etc) this doesn't drive anything like the N.

    One of the roomiest sedans I’ve ever driven. Honestly there is more legroom in this than my 18 Camry 😂. Very comfortable commuter and the 2.0 and 1.6 NA engine are pretty reliable don’t know about the turbocharged ones. It’s that big handle on the passenger side that narrows the leg space for the passenger is a deal breaker for me and the A/C is lacking in my opinion.

    Does anyone have particular experience with the CVT transmissions on the Hyundais over the Nissan CVTs? I personally want to avoid CVTs altogether and been looking at the Mazdas, being they still use standard, 6-speed geared transmissions. I've stayed away from Nissan because of the horror stories of their CVTs shitting the bed and the fact they're all made in Mexico these days.

    Looks like 2 bots commenting. Comments make no sense and the avatar picture is the same and inappropriate.
    I love reviews like this, though. Affordable, nice, non-ev, vehicles. And WTF is Hyundai doing with that atrocious key design. I was hoping it would disappear, but Hyundai seems to be doubling down. Imagine paying $60k+ for a futuristic looking beautiful Ioniq 6 and getting a key that looks like a happy meal toy from the 90s.
