Great video! Everything you love about your Elantra N, I also love about my about 2024 Sonata N line! Very similar car!
Thanks! 👍
Eyyy im up in lake forest sometimes so our ENs might run into each other one day. Also if you arent already, join Socal N club, great group of people! Great review man!
oh for suree. i'll let my girl know
Great video! I love my Elantra N. Most fun car I e ever owned. Unfortunately us in North America won’t get adaptive cruise with the facelift model. Also, there are so some minor upgrades on the facelift model, like better motor mounts and improved suspension, but otherwise everything else is pretty much identical.
ohhh i didn’t hear about the engine mount but i think i did hear something about suspension getting tweaked a bit
I love my EN. I have no complaints, however the only two things that is a con for me is the interior noise coming from the plastic dashboard and radio. And also the light dome. It makes noises when you go on bumpy roads..it's quite annoying. Other than that, I love it.
I love the car but i definitely have some complaints i’ll address in another video. with that said, i think the pros heavily outweigh the cons
Love my Elantra N 💪
underrated af in my opinion. gets too much unwarranted hate
@@RicheeRevs That is a fact Brother. I think it's because they are threatened by a car that in there opinion is a pile of crap and they could not be more wrong. I let my N do the talking for me. 💯💪
The new has no diference from the nline like the 22,23 elantra you are right this is better and more agresive than the new one
facts
Impressed that it is still stock at that many miles.
Most likely warranty scares
not my car and my girl likes it as is. i would have definitely done some stuff by now if it were mine 😂
I have a 24 K5 GT!! I love that N also!!
🙏🙏🙏
Great choice! Now that my golf R has been stolen, I'm thinking the K5 GT in Wolf Gray with the black panoramic sunroof. I find it absolutely gorgeous... Very similar to an Audi S5 sportback.
The 2025 has a refresh that I also like... However I much prefer the quad round tailpipes, as opposed to the new square style tailpipes on the 2025 GT model.
Anyway I hope you're enjoying it. 👍
@Daveyboy_GolfR Very much so!! Thank you. I've have it in Sapphire blue getting the front spoiler this week!! Great choice on that Wolf Grey
@@greglaird299 NICE! I might actually go for a 2024 and save some money. The 2025 GT doesn't have those rear bumper inlets on each side (which I love), And like I mentioned earlier, the quad round pipes are far nicer than the new style.
I don't necessarily think the 2025 looks better, just slightly different. If I can save myself a bunch of money then I'll grab a 2024. Thanks bro
@Daveyboy_GolfR You're welcome brother!! Yes that quad tip is what sold me. Trade out those all season for summer tires when you can night and day difference with traction!!
I love my EN, even tho I do want the 24 rims
the new oem wheels look a lot better, but i’d rather just go aftermarket
@@RicheeRevs yea I could do that 2 huh, and a 2step paint correction, cause the paint on these cars succ lol
@@RicheeRevs Ive heard mixed things. My friend with the new 24 EN likes my 23' wheels better but he likes the new front and back. The 23' wheels have a cool effect when it rolls.
I kinda hate Kia/Hyundai but I cant help but agree that this thing is a great performance bargain..... If you can stand the styling. I still wish the Veloster N was around.
hyundai/kia has stepped up their game over the last 5 years or so
I do to because they’re gimmicky and love to copy..
@@christianbryant5617 i disagree
@@christianbryant5617 copy who? Lmao
The lack of your knowledge is like listening to Justin Trudeau and not worth replying... but I'm takin a dump so... lmao
@@anthonylim2428 Kia Amanti looks like a Jaguar, Hyundai Ioniq 6 looks like a Porsche, Hyundai Equus took Mercedes grille and rear end, 2011 Sonata stole Mercedes design for mirror integrated turn signals and INFINITI interior elements, Kia Sorento stole Mustang design taillights and Lexus LX interior elements, 2002 Sonata stole Mercedes headlight design, 2024 Santa Fe stole the entirety of Range Rover’s designs, GV70 took Mercedes GLE rear window design and Alfa Romeo exhaust pipes, GV60 took Mercedes steering wheel, Porsche front end, and MINI cooper elements especially the door handles, G90 has stolen the S-class design language, GV80 copied INFINITI side profile language GV80 stole Audi door panels, Volvo steering wheel, and Range Rover speaker components, old G80 and G90 stole Mercedes front profile and Audi grille, BMW iDrive, Lexus interior design and Audi entertainment controls, G70 mixed Audi and Alfa Romeo designs, the entirety of Genesis’ and Kia’s lineup stole Audi and VW trim naming system ie: shooting brake, Prestige, “X-Line..” Telluride stole Porsche door panels, and Range Rover designs ofc, Stinger mixed Panamera and A7 body lines, Mercedes air vents, Optima stole Ford Fusion and Jaguar design language, older Optima’s stole INFINITI and Lexus headlight design and Mazda taillight language, Jaguar steering wheel, Azeri stole INFINITI exterior elements and Acura gauges, new Elantra stole S-Class steering wheel and door handle design, Stinger and other Kia’s also stole Porsche headlights, Palisade stole Lincoln rims, old Hyundai Genesis completely took G37 designs, 09 Genesis sedan did a G37 sedan silhouette with Mercedes and INFINITI mixed gauges, and Mercedes grille, Veloster is a Renault Megane with an Audi grille, K9 stole 5-series design, not to mention Hyundai spent all of their money to beg the ex-VW group designer to make their new “Genesis” lineup look like his old cars, namely Bentley.. The Genesis logo had no origin or heritage in South Korea, the shape is unique to Great Britain where Aston Martin, Mini Cooper, and Bentley come from. There’s so many other examples of Hyundai’s horrendous copying throughout the years
You still have the white plastic film on the N letters on the seats!!
i'll have to check that 😂
Wow how do you get that map view is your car don't have that in the Kona N.
that would be google maps in carplay
I’m looking for one but can’t find one. I owned 08 370z Nismo, 15 M4, 17 GTR, 18 MX5, 19 NSX, n 21 STI but I think Elantra N is more fun car for daily. Inexpensive and enough power for daily drive without liability due to Hyundai warranty. Just my opinions.
not sure where you're located but you'll find one pop up eventually
i love hyundai
🙌🙌🙌
It really isn't a great looking car. The new style Elantra came out so that's what they had to work with to make the Elantra N.
They coulda done a universally awesome rear diffuser like on the Integra type S, some 4 piston front calipers, And those 2 additions alone would definitely have improved the look of the EN.
But it's SO FANTASTIC in so many other areas that they're still sold out everywhere. Thankfully the refresh does give the face an actual identity, but that black lower rear end piece is horrendous.
But I will say there's no car that performs like the EN in the $30s.
And the fact that 7 different systems can have the aggression adjusted into different levels like the engine, trans, exhaust, steering, dampers, LSD, ESC is incredible!
Only cars like $90K plus M cars, AMG's, Blackwings, etc have that level of versatility in terms of adjusting individual systems.
I only wish they offered it in AWD as an option which I would happily pay extra for.
AWD would be really nice. But idk i still love the way this looks. the new model looks nice too but loses it's uniqueness
@@RicheeRevs I'm embarrassed to say that I've never actually seen an EN in person. And I'm out on the roads everyday, yet nothing. Maybe seeing it strictly on my phone doesn't do it justice.
I know that when I saw the K5 GT in a review on my phone, I wasn't all that impressed. It looked okay but no big deal. And the interior looked even less impressive on video.
But then I went to a dealer and saw a brand new 2023 K5 GT in person and WOW... It looked exactly like an Audi S5 sportback. Especially in Wolf Gray with that massive black panoramic sunroof.
And then when I went to sit inside, I really liked the interior, compared to seeing it on my phone.
I'm assuming the same would go for the Elantra N. I have a feeling if I finally see a new one in person, and sit in it, I'll probably be sold.
I know that if I can actually drive it, then it'll be a done deal.
Apparently my MK7 Golf R felt much less racy and even disconnected compared to this EN scalpel.
I just have to experience it for myself. Every single EN owner and journalist that reviewed them agree that it is like a race car for the road, while being great as a daily.
Not all of them can be wrong.
👍
let me know if your opinion changes if you ever see one in person. very curious what you’ll think
@@RicheeRevs I'm dying to see one in person... Since my Golf R was stolen and totaled, I need a new daily. Like I said I love everything about the EN. And I have a feeling that when I do see one in person, and then sit in it... I'd probably buy one immediately.
Is there a difference between 21-22
there is no 2021 elantra n. the first model year was 2022
@@RicheeRevs for Australia there is but good to know 🩵🫡 subbed
@@hillpeakperformance3342 appreciate you
SMH, that car does *NOT* look good at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤬
everyone has their own opinion 🤷🏻♂️

I only wish they offered it in AWD as an option which I would happily pay extra for... But then it would be impossible to find one. Even more so than it is now
@@Daveyboy_GolfRLooks can be subjective. A good amount of people believe that the prefacelift Elantra N is quite an attractive car.
@@khau.cr2 Looks are totally subjective, I agree. But there are levels to that. There are many situations where the vast majority of people agree.
Is Scarlett Johansson attractive?
Is Jordan a great basketball ball player?
Is the 911 GT3 fun to drive?
Is the Aston Martin DBS an attractive vehicle?
The vast majority would be in agreement on all those questions.
But when it comes to the Elantra EN, The reactions to its looks are VERY mixed.
Moreover, It's very rare that you'll find someone who would consider it's exterior styling to be gorgeous or stunning.
But when we factor in it's fantastic performance, versatility, and everything I mentioned in my original post, it's arguably the greatest performance bargain on the road today.
@@Daveyboy_GolfR You can make great points, I respect that. The problem is you’re disregarding people’s opinions on what they think is attractive and what is not. The Elantra N is an attractive car to me, but it doesn’t have to be for you. The examples you provided are also a hit or miss.
Scarlett Johansson is quite often considered attractive, but some people may not think so because she’s just not their type of woman to consider attractive. Maybe she’s too short or too tall. Maybe her hairstyle isn’t what they like. Maybe they don’t like her facial features.
Jordan is not a great example because he has achievements that put him at the top. There’s no doubt that he’s a great NBA player. This no longer becomes a subjective topic and leans more towards to an objective topic. If you had said, “Is MJ the greatest NBA player in history?”, then this would be a subjective topic.
The 911 GT3 would certainly be fun to drive for me, but what if someone else only has fun in a straight line and believes that the GT3 is too slow and boring? Very possible. This makes it a subjective topic.
Aston Martin DBS is an attractive car to me, but it can also be the opposite for others.
If the opinions on the EN’s looks are “VERY MIXED”, then that just leaves room for debate on whether or not the EN is an attractive car. Just because you don’t believe the EN is an attractive car doesn’t mean everyone believes the same.
It doesn’t matter if a majority thinks one thing and a minority thinks the other. The only exceptions to this I’d imagine would be for moral and ethical reasons.
Looks like boy racer..copying the red accent from GTI red exterior red caliper, red line in front bumper ..😂but congratulations 🍾
damn… guess the fk8, r35 nismo, nismo z are all copying the gti. that’s crazy
@@RicheeRevs 😂😂im sure!
@@GTIclubdport9462Dang ig every car with red brakes copied the gti😂
@@RicheeRevs it broke his neck when he was driving on the road one day so he took a picture went home and googled it 😂now his algorithm is about elantra n
