Review: 2024 Hyundai Elantra - The Lowest-Priced Compact Sedan

Рет қаралды 7,538

Күн бұрын

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!

Honestly we need more options for decent cheap cars like these, good stuff!

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.

Congrats on your new Sentra!

Hi Matt. Congrats on another great review. I love your low key style of just one old friend speaking to another old friend and passing along information. For me it’s the perfect formula. I hope you never change your informal style. Regards

Love the affordable reviews. With the crazy prices out there, this is a really viable option for consumers. I can't wait to see the K4 get to dealers as that would be my option.

Hyundai in Canada is charging the same as Toyota and Honda. Nothing affordable about car sales in Canada right now.

That giant passenger handle is Hyundai admitting that the low price appeals to sketchy and inexperienced drivers. Parents can hold on while teaching their teens. 😂

This is a great value IMO. I currently have a 2014 Jetta and am considering this and the current Jetta as a replacement. I think they’re both the best values on the market at the moment.

Assuming your friend’s car is equipped with the 2.0 engine and the 6 speed automatic, the refreshed Elantra has better fuel economy since it’s equipped with ivt transmission (CVT).

The little fake shift is a nice touch. I think people are clamoring for more basic vehicles these days given the rates and ballooning prices. The rear looks very sharp!

@revaholic Ай бұрын

Does this feel related to the Elantra N at all? Seems like they really differentiated that car from this

@MattMaranMotoring Ай бұрын

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.

The car does what it aims to do very well. One thing i wish theyd stop doing is putting all those body lines in the side profile. When i sold cars we'd sell these used occasionally and from a glance people often thought it was in an accident

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.

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.
