The 2023 Hyundai Elantra N feels like it came completely out of nowhere. With it's loud N exhaust mode, crackles and pops, and turbocharged engine - it seems to check a lot of boxes for a car enthusiast. It has radical styling, a VERY nice interior, and fantastic handling. With a 10 year warranty and a ton of performance - this car doesn't seem to match up with it's value per dollar. I was so impressed with this car that I might have to say it's better than the new 2023 Acura Integra - something I wouldn't have guessed a few years ago. So what makes the Elantra N great? Let's talk about it.
BONUS: Side note I feel terrible for the guy in California who got pulled over in this car for "modified exhaust" in a stock Hyundai Elantra N.

Open the hood and that crap engine will temper your excitement. They put a lot of makeup on those turds.😕
Have you heard of the guy in cali who got a ticket for the exhaust being too loud? The car is completely stock, but he is going through a nightmare because of it. It’s such a nice car, but if you live in cali, or another strict state, I would be very careful.
I have a friend who has one of these, in blue, and man it's sharp looking. Never considered myself a hyundai fan at all, but they really knocked this one out of the park. For what it is, I'd even argue it's the perfect mix of practical and fun for a "car guy" daily driver
Finally someone gets it
Yup, but mfers still won’t buy this just because it’s not JDM nor a legendary car.
@@justinm.5089 they still say "it's a Hyundai" "slow 0-60" its FWD what do u expect lol
Great timing after the wrx tossed in the towel
@@justinm.5089 its not jdm who cares?, legendary car like what example? You do know hyundai N won wrc 2x in a row, won manufacturers cup etc etc right?
Hyundai N is doing good things.
They're even trying to make electric car and hydrogen car actually cool.
California police give a dude a ticket to "fix" his stock exhaust on the exact car you're test driving lol
yes, still has a stock exhaust which has no issues on it at all
Totally agree
@@Jeremy_Hill_2020 that's Cali for you lol
@@bassdakro969 Hyundai, Porsche, and potentially even Dodge too (if they can do it right)
I took one of these for a test drive yesterday. I was completely blown away. The performance is incredible and that exhaust...pure symphony! I love it how it goes from a cruisey daily driver to an all out track car at the push of a button!
Never buy the dct ever
Why no dct?
@@arkadiusw.897 he probably meant about the recall on the dct transmission. I have a 2021 Hyundai Veloster N DCT in red. 25,000 miles later after full throttling the car daily, I have zero issues whatsoever. It’s an amazing car, just keep up on the maintenance and shouldn’t be a problem .
@@asianken9286 they fixed the recalls. All the new productions are solid noe
@@louismccomack95242023 dct's okay then?
One of the places I work, there is a Sonata N Line, an Elantra N, and a Mazda 3 Turbo AWD hatchback and they always park next to each other. And all 3 are immaculate and perfectly clean all the time.
Saw one of these in person a few weeks ago. It honestly looks amazing in person even if i generally hate modern styling.
Can’t fathom why you’d hate modern styling it’s so damn cool looking
@@juliet4093 i like simple designs. 1st gen scion xB, honda civig eg hatch, ect
It's incredible how Hyundai finally mastered the car but slapped such an ugly front bumper on it. I would consider one of these if they facelifted it, or at least a body colour wrap that masks that mass of black in front
@@revaholic right!
@@revaholic I know its all subjective but Im a fan of the bumper. Im getting an N-Line in a few weeks and i just love the design. Then again im coming from a 2011 Ford Focus SE and that bitch looked like the crimson chin from Fairly Odd Parents
I was never a big fan of Hyundai. I went to go test drive an Elantra N and I absolutely fell in love. I ordered one in September and now I am waiting for the dealership to call me.
How’s ownership been so far?
This car surprises everyone, it’s great for the price. A few mods from SXTH and you are good to go!
I got to do a ride-along in one of these at Gridlife and was blown away at its track capabilities. Ever since then I've had so much respect for this car
I have a 19 Veloster N and absolutely love it. Really cool to see Hyundai step in a slightly different direction with the 4 door. If I didn't have my N I would strongly consider the Elantra. Upset the Elantra has such a better interior though, especially the seats! lol
The Veloster looks much better imo 👍
@@morbidslayer666 yes but Veloster way worse transmission and interior.. slower
@@roboticvenom1935 I mean the transmission is the same really the interior I personally don't care about I only look ahead when I'm driving I don't get distracted by looking around so interiors I never really cared about but it's the same transmission carrier ed over from the veloster N
@Willham yeah I was so confused lol
@@roboticvenom1935 yeah. You fanboying hard now
Its the same gearbox
I did a pre-delivery inspection on 2 of these conveniently one manual and one auto and let me tell you both put a smile on my face when they were driven in N mode, they really nailed it
I own one and I am amazed by its breadth of capabilities. It can be a civilised daily driver one day and with a push of a button, it can turn into an absolute monster. Bravo Hyundai
Hows it on gas? If driven conservatively?
@@dumbeezy5480 I get around 7-8 litres per 100km which equates to 29-33 mpg
@@chooki101 Is that you granny shifting or just cruising?
@@dumbeezy5480 just cruising, keeping up with normal traffic
Can confirm, the manual on this car is insanely fun. I own one, drive it every day, and it puts a big smile on my face every time.
especially once you have the boomba bushings and plate adapter in there along with a weighted knob of your choice *chefs kiss*
How are the seats daily driving? I heard they can be uncomfortable after awhile for some people
@@shadyxxd2258 they’re not comfortable, especially for longer trips, but after breaking them in for two months they were perfectly fine for
I use this car as a travelling salesman and man the seats are great. Coming from a cushy jeep cherokee that always gave me back pain somehow. I can ride these all day long
Just saw one in person today and I immediately had to come back to this video to say WOW! Just WOW!!! This car looks amazing in person! For sure this car stands out in public road with it being next to a million other cars! I would definitely buy one if I didn’t have so many cars right now
Saw “Elantra N” from your channel and I had to watch right away! I’ll be getting mine soon! 😄
same I got put on a reserve list for a 2023 model
I have a Sonic Blue Kona N, 6k miles now, Absolutely in love with it, it drives like a hot hatch, Hyundai N has been doing so many good things lately!
i own one and i absolutely LOVEEEEE it. bought mine in august and i have 0 complaints. the seats are my fav🥰
Loving the interior, and currently looking at fun daily’s, gonna have to go test one, this, the stinger AWD, Focus RS, a few others
I have the exact same one in your video and love it. I previously had a BMW 3 series coupe and Audi A7 and this thing is just too much fun and the bang for your buck is through the roof.
This has got to be undoubtedly one of the best Hyundais I've ever seen and heard! I love this Elantra N!
Never thought I’d see you review this car! Glad you enjoyed it! If you wanna drive a manual Elantra N, let me know! I’m not too far from Georgia, with a Cyber Grey 6 speed Elantra N!
I seen in coming eventually he did the veloster before and praised it sayying it drove better than some bmws he’s driven.
@@robmalcolm8042 good thing it's a manual, dct transmission will start disintegrate the minute you drive out of the showroom
@@RohanSanjith dct from any brand will it’s not reliable yet.
@@RohanSanjith True but with the 10 year 100k warranty you could beat the piss out of the dct relatively worry free.
Used to work for a dealer and got to drive the auto Kona N and a manual Elantra N both beautiful cars. Definitely changed my mind on the brand.
The Elantra N is such a good looking car and offers so much for the price it has race seats carbon fiber bits as an option and alot of user friendly tuning right out the gate
As a Veloster N owner, i cross shopped with a TYPE R but came to the realization that I’d be spending around 10k+ more for MINIMAL benefits. Most people can’t look past “Hyundai stigma” which is unfortunate because the Elantra N is far superior in many ways than the Japanese counterparts. Can’t wait to see what the future of Hyundai N looks like.
I agree you can get a tune an get 330 hp no problem, I’m glad Hyundai is into racing an won championships building that N brand
You're spending 10k more for reliability
@@jw3384 with a 10/100k warranty you can have peace of mind. I’ve already seen a handful of Veloster Ns over 100k miles with no issues.
@The Rayview yeah that's true I know someone who had their rav4 tranny take a shit at 105k miles I guess you never know
@@jw3384 oh brother this bullshit is getting old 🤦🏻♂️
As a young guy they hit it right. Launch control, ambient lighting, backfires on demand. I want this car so bad and I was planning on a rwd manual for my next car. I’m sick of fwd I want to drift but I’m debating on the Elantra instead. It sounds so good
I love my Veloster N. One thing I wish Hyundai would have done was to keep the analog gauges and add one for oil pressure. Screens take away from the driving experience IMO.
Especially when those screens stop working.
HAD THEM NOTIFICATIONS ON AND I WAS READY THIS TIME🤣
YOURE MY HERO
I've had my manual EN since March of this year and it's all the good things anyone's ever said about it. Very fun to drive when you want to immerse yourself in all the fun aspects of driving and can be used as a daily driver for all of life's mundane tasks. I've gotten up to 39mpg over the course of 50 miles of freeway/highway driving in normal/eco mode.
If they came out with an awd elantra N version I’d completely fall in love. I already love them as it is but an awd version would push me over the edge. Hopefully they make one or some aftermarket brand develops a conversion kit.
I always thought to myself imagine all the cars that where or are originally fwd and they came AWD instead it would be insane 😭🔥
@@ulisesreyes4755 Right? If they made an awd elantra n, I would legit buy one right now. It’s such a dope car, I can guarantee you that thing would pull a low 4 second 0-60 if it was awd.
i never thought id say "i want to buy a Hyundai" but here i am. i would actually love to have this car as a nice daily driver. seems like a hoot and i love the looks.
I was dancing nearly naked to the intro. Love your videos broski. Considering this car for sure.
I have the Sonata. Pretty nice cars, I have never been a Hyundai fan but was attracted for the build quality at the price point. It's a seriously nice car that's not very expensive. My driver side window regulator went out at 27k miles but whatever. lol
I've been watching your videos for years and I think that was the best car intro you've done. Nice work David
So love that you finally got to review one! I have this exact one… Cyber Gray DCT. I’ve had it since June and let me tell you, it’s been amazing. The modding screen is really starting to take off for it too, so mid 12s are pretty easily attainable now. I love everything about the car except the narrow bolstered seats, but I’m getting more and more used to them.
I really hope you have extended warranty for the drivetrain, the dct never last long
@@RohanSanjith how long do they last?
@@mrddoesyoutube7797 I've seen 6 months old car dct gets replacements, they use this dct on a suv called Hyundai creta which had dct issues from 100+ owners
@@RohanSanjith i mean. Out of the 10k plus that roll of the line. 100 is not to bad. Its covered under that super warranty to isnt it
@@mrddoesyoutube7797 if you replace your car every 3 to 4 years then it's fine, just it cannot rack up 100k plus miles without issues like a toyota
I just bought mine. Automatic 2023 ~N line. I love it.
They've come a long way I can say I've been a loyal hyundai owner 3 elantra xds with all close to 200k before selling and now my g80 5.0 ( had over 14 cars in my life time and by far one of the most reliable easy to work on not break your wallet cars to own)
So I've kind of been in the market for a new vehicle and I've been watching your videos for quite some time now after I saw you do the video on this car I just had to have one I took delivery of it two weeks ago and it's been an absolute dream whip from a 2003 Mercedes clk500 and literally there is no comparison thank you so much for all your hard work keep it up bro!!!!
I own a elantra N and I going to say that for the price is the best car in the class.also if you whish to drive in eco mode whish it's not the case with me it does 30 miles per gallon combine and more in the high way around 36 whish is insane because in the sticker price says is 23 combine whish im assuming they had it at track mode.also I had a sonata limited and I dont miss it.the elantra N save more gas that the 2021 sonata limited .and just to have the option to do track or grandma mode is a ++.
I had a 15 Elantra and that car has come a long way just in the last 7 years.
I've wanted one of these for a minute and you made a video about it. It's a sign.
Got to watch the video you was in on do it with Dan's channel! The ultimate crossover event 🤙
I bought one in intense blue a couple of months ago. It's an absolute blast.
I love my 2021 Elantra N-line and I hope you review one some day, it be nice to hear an unbiased honest opinion. I did a SXTH Axel back, GFB respons BOV, pierborg bov solenoid, a torque mount and a cold air. Makes all the nice sounds and the torque miunt eliminated my wheel hop completely.
I have a N line as well, e30/ water meth injected making 335hp and 355 tq on a mustang Dyno. It's hilariously funny absolutely shredding cars twice it's price with a 1.6L Hyundai Elantra 😂 I have a custom DP, custom fender mounted intake, bov, exhaust, fender and strut tower braces, coilovers and some nice gram light wheels
@@chandlerlaruex your ig?
It's amazing how far Hyundai has come 💪🏾. I personally will get the FL5 Type R, but can't wait to track it with some N owners.
the kona N is pretty cool to as it has all the same features and has the versatility of a small suv in a way and i feel it handles better as the wheelbase is shorter it takes turns tighter
FYI you can easily deal with oversteer in FWD but just throttling out of it. That’s one of the actual advantages of tracking a well-tuned FWD. You tune it to rotate on entry and you just power out of it with no worry of losing traction even more.
This car feels very, “I’m a new dad, I’m married, I’ve grown up, and yet I never lost my swagger, I’m still fun as ever”, and I think that’s awesome.
That must be why I like it so much 😂
I have a MK7 GTI APR Stage 1 high torque profile and I raced one of these recently and He kept up somewhat decently. I do not know much about Hyundai and they’re aftermarket but if their tuning capabilities are good then this is actually a pretty good platform for those who want to punch up.
I just saw one of these on my college campus parking lot. This looks like it would be a fun daily, and I say this as someone who drives a slow econobox Hyundai.
I have a Kona N and I love that car. Lots of fun for the money, and once I lower it I'll basically have a hot hatch haha
very cool daily driver! Would definitely consider buying it but the Veloster N would
be my first choice.
I have the 2021 SEL, and even with the FAR less power, it kicks slightly above its weight class in terms of handling and power delivery. (And with a muffler swap and res delete it sounds like an N on a cold start)
I would highly recommend this car,I have had mine since July last year and have placed around 40K miles on it,and loved every second
Elantra N has a bigger turbo from the factory than the Veloster. Once proper tuning options and fueling mods come these will be great is38 gti competition
As someone who worked at a hyundai dealership for 3 years up until a few months ago I have to say the Kona N is the best designed car hyundai makes
I love my MT Elantra N, the ceramic white is *chef's kiss*
Had a really bad experience with my 2017 Elantra, but I'm strongly considering one of these in the future.
Can't wait to get mine
One of my coworkers has one. And it's a blast to drive.
Saw one at the 2022 Philadelphia Auto show and was blown away. Never expected this from Hyundai, they really knocked this one out of the park 🔥
I sell Hyundai out of West Michigan. Just bought my Elantra N in Cyber Gray a few weeks ago. Traded up from a G8 GT. I am soooo please with this car. It handles like an absolute dream!
You’re making me jealous. I just got mine ordered and I have to wait 5 months for it.
Hope they gave you a good trade in value for your G8. Those aren't easy to come across at dealerships.
@@FWDSUXARSE I sold it privately and it went very well. Basically profited to drive it for 50k miles. Lolol
@@inquisitorfederov5470 Even better!
Saw one bought one. The phantom black looks great. Cant wait to see what I can do to improve my drive.
Driving a (different) N in germany and it's a bang for the buck + I have so much fun and regarding my demands on a sporty car the manufacturer takes one serious
I have a 22 veloster N, ive put 27k miles on it in about 18 months. Its all stock besides a intake and catch can i did. Its so much fun still! I think once im ready for something different, ill be going with the genesis g70.
Hello from Canada! I ordered one in June and the Dealership just received the Vin# finally on Tuesday! Should be on the ground end of November. Unfortunately we will have snow on the ground by then so I will be putting it in the garage for a few months.
i have been waiting for this review 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is anyone else going to point out the passenger separation bar/oh sh*t handle on the passengers side??!! That is too cool...! My wife absolutely hates when I do 45 mph corners on the back-roads doing 75 mph in my GTI...
I might be buying one of these in the future...IF they continue making them more than 1 year that is...
The 2023 model year is on its way to dealerships or probably in some peoples driveways at this point. So technically over 1 year. Now get one.
@@108bobman Correct, 2023 model is out and being delivered
The "holy s**t" bar is actually very flimsy plastic, just to warn you. I work for Hyundai and I love the Elantra N to death but be prepared than you can flex the handle with your arm strength easily. The bolsters help with the holy sh*t though
@@superdoesings2416 I got a palisade and had a Tucson before and Elantra and at least your being honest and appreciate Hyundais not these fake mechanics who keep sayying yeah I work for them never get one their terrible! 🤦🏻♂️
@@superdoesings2416 Well, at least it looks cool and different.
My uncle has the Elantra N in a dark blue with a manual transmission and omg it was Hella nuts
My first car was a 2018 elantra 2.0 motor very strong, no problem since new, if the n is reliable as my car has been with the reasonable cost i think its a good buy and both warranties are unbeatable
Seems like a really nice car I'd actually consider buying. Only problem is dealer markup charging like $45k+ for them which is a hard no.
Damn 45k here in Vegas u can pick them up for 35 I believe
Damn 45k here in Vegas u can pick them up for 35 I believe
i have a 2018 elantra gts and had a bk2 3.8 before. God these cars have been coming up and i’m glad to have been apart of Hyundai before they become the modern tuner car
The Veloster N had the N logo glow in the headrests long before BMW’s M3 and M4, these days other companies have been borrowing more and more styling cues from Hyundai
Take my word for it...I made a few videos on my prior cars - STI, G70 3.3T, etc., and just got this. There's no looking back. I finally hit the 600 mile break-in period the other day and sent this thing. Man, this video description is right bc I was just laughing the whole time. The thing is so fun, quick, and absurd sounding, that you eventually remember it's a Hyundai and literally lol.
I heard they have transmission recall 😬
@@n_nope_e some of the 2023 models due to putting different transmission tune if im not mistaken. Great car, dumb workers lol
Looks like Hyundai took inspiration for the wheels from your background wall
Owned a Veloster N and switched to the Elantra for the seats and a sunroof but got so much more. My only complaints are the DCT downshifts could be better and it’s not quite as balanced as the Veloster was. But I love it!!!!
I wish they'd put the manual in the Kona N, because I'd straight up buy one.
Had an Elantra in college I put coils and wheels on that I loved to hate. Honestly considering getting an Elantra N to replace my e class. It’s a great bang for your buck and would give me that nostalgia feel.
Too plastic for me. I would rather have the Audi S3

@@DEVILTAZ35 Audi is cool if youre rich or old.
Just went and test drove mine today!
raced a veloster n in my Z. good run. we both gave a thumbs up
As a Hyundai i30N driver myself you missed out on chucking it through some corners. The cornering grip on the i30N & Elantra N is ABSURD. That E-LSD rips you through corners to the point you actually get slight oversteer.
By far the most fun car I've ever driven.
Just don't expect it to be a quarter mile rocket, it's not fast in a straight line compared to a lot of the competition.
if it didn’t have the wing and just natural “duckbill” wave from the trunk the rear would be sm better
My friend daily and tracks his veloster N and gosh it is fast… DCT is super fast and the car handles very well on track. Super easy to drive
I like it. I think the front end looks unfinished, but I still like it.
Also, thank you for not reminding us what the acronym on the overboost button means. If I buy one I'm going to come up with an alternative meaning like "No Give a S#¡+". There must be some better ideas.
You should see mine 🤟🏾
@@Sinbadness I'd like to. You should put up a video. Seems to me that painting (or wrapping) the triangle shape below the headlights would make a big improvement. Have you done any cosmetic changes?
I love the exhaust note too. Kind of an Evo-ish tone.
Well Hyundais engines were originally Mitsubishi until they changed it to their own design
That fake crackle sound is the worst lol. It sounds like a giant eating rice bubbles lol. i would be embarrassed to drive a car that sounds that shit lol
Honestly a huge fan the N line Hyundais. I always used to see Hyundai as a cheap Korean car brand along with Kia, but they have come a very long way.
N and N line are 2 different things. N has way more performance than a n line model. N line is like more cosmetic but some do offer the 1.6t.
@@H8onG ahh ok thanks for the info and I appreciate that and you not being an a hole about it lol
@@H8onG essentially like a 328i with the M sport package I guess.
All good, I picked up a 2018 Elantra sport. They switched from the “sport trim” to the N line trim when they went to this gen. I enjoy the looks of my car but really like the Elantra N.
Was gonna buy this when it came out but couldn’t find one for a reasonable price
Getting a 2023 here real soon the EN is amazing!!!❤
Yay you uploaded it :)
I wish you'd given some more specific feedback about the feel of the dual clutch in use. We heard the tires bark but, does that only happen at full throttle? Is the shift aggressiveness adjustable by any means? If you wanted to use the DCT manual mode to help you pull out without spinning tires or forcing a downshift, is it liveable in a daily driver environment? How's the automatic action when cruising?
Looks awesome! Sounds just as good. I have the i20N in the uk and it’s and absolute hoot to drive!!
im just now getting into these cars, i need a good fun 4cylinder car, to replace my horrible G8 which i know sounds insane but, this could be definate, Id totally get the Manual ALWAYS THE MANUAL! SAVE THE STICK!! LOVE THE REVIEW!!
I have a FBO, cammed RSX Type S, that is a blast to drive. I'm going in deployment soon and would like to get set up to be get my name out there so when I get out to start my own shop.
I got the chance to Drive an Elantra N on track, and it blows freaking everything else out of the water for the money!
Regardless of whether our future is petrol or electric, Hyundai is set for world domination.
n owner here, i paid only 34K for my car and I've never lost to anything in its price range. in fact it beats cars more expensive then it all the time. its my daily and I don't think I could have picked a better car for the job
Age 63 and I have the Veloster N w/pp and the 6MT. My rolling amusement park ride.
The car is amazing! I actually sold my 2021 Civic Type R because of the crazy market right now and bought an Elantra N DCT at MSRP. I honestly like the Elantra N better. In fact I’ve even beaten my friends Type R in mine. Even have the video to prove it!
I have both and i do like driving the N more because of the tech but the type r feels better
Type-Rs are not for drag though. I’d go for Type-R because of the aftermarket support and Honda reliability. But Elantra N is amazing.
@@allyance8846 I completely agree. I took the Type R to quite a few track days. The car was incredible! The only issue was it did get very hot about 10 minutes in of course I live in a crazy hot climate.
@@nstylemotorsportsracing1471 yeah that was a issue because of the restrictive airflow to the radiator. A radiator upgrade fixed that.
It's pretty much a given the DCT version will perform better at drag. 1/2 mile, roll race and track are a different matter though. Plus you must consider there's a new Type R coming out which we can assume will improve the formula and widen the gap further against its competitors.
The Sonata YF (2.0T) is a beast too, 2011-2014 and already had that 276 hp. Couple mods and tune and you can push that 300~ whp.
Yeah i briefly had one and stock I’d pull in r/t chargers and challengers. It was a quick little car
@@mogulme6190yea those are nothing to the 2.0T when its done right 👍
@@Prodigy70 Or Mustang GT or 340i
Only thing missing is an lsd. The YF when modded was miserable from a launch. Too much wheels pin.
@@dpok69 yea, it does better with traction control on. The Lap3 tune also helps with it.
