6:21 pre-1995 miata owners everywhere sobbing over this statement

65.5 MPG is insane.

13:18 we all see that red light runner lol

Great review king

14:30 the Chevrolet Skyline is my favorite car.

Awesome review Chris!

I love this car. So economic, a lot of tech, and really cool styling. Surprising amount of value, to be honest. I might even say this is way better than the Corolla hybrid! Great video Chris. Glad to see you uploading more Korean cars as well hahahah

Because of Kia/Hyundais DCT hybrid system and the electric motors placement in between, you can maintain EV mode at highway speeds on relatively flat roads.

Great video! Hope to see a Corolla Hybrid (probably with AWD) road trip or commute video from you.

I just traded in a Kona N for a 24 Elantra Hybrid limited. That Kona was a blast but after 15,000 miles of getting bounced around it was time for something more civil haha. I love it! I completely identify with what you said about being an enthusiast but behind the wheel of this your trying to keep the motor from coming on. This feels like it definitely has more sound deadening than a Civic. Great review!

It looks a lot better than the previous model.

We need a daily commute with the new sonata n line but this video was so calming to watch

Added to my first car list

Sage Gray interior is the only one with a black headliner/pillars. For anyone wanting to buy it.

the song u used for the bose sound test brought me back years bruh

13:15 ahhh man i miss living here... it was just a different vibe. but yeah honestly a compact hybrid like this or the corolla hybrid are perfect for commuting in areas like this. you're "eco-friendly" and you arent breaking the bank with the MSRP either. just gotta hope these newer KDM products have less reliaiblity issues and in soon time they'll have much better reputation with other enthusiasts and consumers!

The Elantra is nice, but I wish they still made the Ioniq hybrid. I’ve got a ‘22 Ioniq hybrid and it’s downright effortless to beat the 55mpg EPA figure. Typically highway trips will end with me around 65mpg if I can keep to 65-70, and it’ll switch to full electric even when I’m going 70. Also, as a hatchback, it’s got that extra level of versatility. Only downside to it in my mind is the 6 speed DCT, I think I would have preferred an eCVT, even if the DCT allows it to feel a little more fun to drive. But let’s be honest, it’s still a 139HP hybrid. Give me extra efficiency.

I wish the new sonata looked more like this. Love the rear design. Last time I tried an Elantra it was too small tho :/

I was just in that parking structure yesterday on my talaria and I thought man I feel like a GTA character a real life GTA character

The first car I own. The Hyundai Elantra :D

Great video! Can you do the 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited next?

Driving experience, cabin space and features-wise, how would you compare this to the Kia Niro Hybrid? I can't decide between either of them.

From my experience, the most efficient way to drive a hybrid is to accelerate relatively firmly (i.e. let the gas engine turn on) up to speed and then coast in EV. Accelerating slowly in EV from stop is ironically less efficient, not to mention potentially rage-inducing to the cars behind you.

A Town Car plus the GS400 would be a hilarious old V8 Sedan combo tbh. Or find a Mercury Marauder since they look a bit more menacing

Nice car.

13:19 That was a bit late from the Escape in front lol

9:42 that holder/divider between driver and passenger is the reason we went with civic. Passenger space feels like seating in cab!

Just got the blue hyrbid a month ago, my first new car. i had driven a 1990 lumina, 1993 caprice classic, 1996 park avenue, and a 2004 lesabre prior, so this feels like a luxury car to me.

im getting 36 mpg in the city with my regular 2023 elantra SEL convenience

2014 Elantra was the best design so far….its getting a bit dated now ten year on, but still looks good with modern designs.

Im averaging over 51mpg on the 24 accord EXL even though the car is rated a lot lower than this elantra. I don't get the EPA ratings sometimes

I have a friend who worked at kia. When he was there he was all praise for the brand. After he left the company he told me about all the new engines that were taking up space at dealerships. All the engines that were to replace faulty ones

I had one of these (2023). Unbelievable fuel economy, easily in the 60s. But it was the most uncomfortable car I’ve ever owned, the seats are so stiff and feel like rocks after a couple hours. Everything in the interior including the seats just feels SO cheap.

I thought with 2024 it introduced the 360 cam AND turn signal cameras in the dash?

Wait did u say AN car at 18:00?

My 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid's trip computer consistently reads around 45-46 MPG average, but my calculated average based on fill-ups and distance traveled is around 41.5 MPG. This is why I tend to not trust the trip computer readout.

Nice ride, I like it.

I have a hyundai elantra 2017, and my frame from the back of the car blew off going down. hwy it almost hit a truck and now the front end is about to do the same. If it's not one thing it's another plus lots more going on electrical and more.i like the car runs smooth except for the bs I don't need . Sorry

That's a bit odd. I am sure that the limited edition has more options. 360 camera. Camera turns on instead of the cluster guages on turn signals.

23:31 The funniest thing I've heard this weekend, lol.

if it just had rear ac for my guest i would so buy it.

Why not in Europe? :(

what about a corolla hybrid

Never been a fan of the Elantra but this not too bad, I give it a 8 on the scale

You did not mention that Hyundai only charges $15,000 for a replacement hybrid battery..... Look it up happened to two people in Vegas....

This car looks on par or even nicer than my Audi. I'd have bought one if not for the fact that I had to push my friends 2013 Sonata across three lanes of busy rush hour city traffic, across an intersection, up hill into a burger king parking lot because their Theta 2 engines have a knack for disliking being unexploded.

Can you do a commute drive with a qx60 please?

0:27: Fun Fact: Ann Arbor is home to Domino’s North American Headquarters, Founded in Ypsilanti.

No rear a/c vents is just about a deal breaker for me. Its really shame that none of the compact sedans come with them .

Wait, car reviewers do day to day real world car simulations?

Ive always loved Hyundai's styling in and out as well as its affordability, and this car sure doesnt dissapoint. Amazing review on the Elantra Chris! Much love from NYC ❤

The biggest problem with these hybrids are these GDI engines. Not specific to Hyundai. I have the same problem with fuel dilution in my Santa Fe Hybrid. Short trips don't allow the gas to burn off. I have about 5% fuel dilution in my latest oil analysis from Blackstone which is causing premature metal wear. As a result, I need to be changing oil at 4000 miles and using higher viscosity oil (switching to 5W-30 from 0W-20).

Hyundai is really messing up not offering this with the 1.6turbo hybrid system in the SUV's.

i want to see ur lexus gs400

11:54 excessive EV in a hybrid without a plug is a net LOSS since the engine must recharge the battery after a heavy depletion such as trying to accelerate in EV mode. Getting up to speed at a reasonable rate is MORE efficient.

Next one K8 ? Or K5 GT ? Or Grandeur ?

How is this like compared to Toyota's E-CVT system?

Stop saying cheap cars. Those are not cheap. The car prices exploded in the last 10 years and no value for the money.

the pre FL looked better. The new front with slimed down head lights are ugly.

Roof beside construction site 🎉

What city is that?

my issue is that it's a HYUNDAI. From 7 people that own a Hyundai that I know, 5 had a catastrophic engine failure and luckily had it replaced under warranty (the other two just have really old models, perhaps they built them better back in the day). And then there's cases for hybrids where the battery replacement is like $15k and the EV battery replacement because of a minor scratch is like the price of an entire car....I'd just NEVER trust a Hyundai.

This is the worst hybrid they make by far imo. Super smooth and quiet in electric mode and then when the engine kicks on it's like there's a $30 home depot generator behind a firewall made out of drywall. Tucson hybrid absolutely fks tho

looks like a toyota knockoff to be honest

It's a shame we don't get the limited trim here in Canada It loses features the Blue gets as well, switching the lights to reflector LED's, and it costs the same as the N-Line which has significantly more features and not much worse fuel economy If they brought this trim over, especially with the costs of everything I feel it would do well
