Just got a 24 a few weeks ago and holy crap it’s such a good car. This thing effortlessly handles everything I throw at it. A true drivers car through and through.

That exhaust will never get old. Please Hyundai keep making more N division ICE cars

Bought my 24 EN a little over a month ago and wow it’s just everything I hoped for. I used to be the guy who hated on Hyundai but after owning the car for a month, I’m so glad I gave this car and Hyundai a chance

I bought a '23 Hyundai Elantra N (DCT) a few months ago - I love how nimble it is, how fun it is to drive on the road, the exhaust never gets old, definitely cool to have a "rare" car on the road - you don't see many of them, and the gas mileage is an added bonus (easily getting 30MPG+ in eco)!😎 The dual personality makes it a perfect daily and a fun "weekend" car! For anyone at all interested in one - test drive it, and you'll be SOLD! Also the warranties are great, and these have kept their value pretty well, but I didn't buy this car for resale, I bought it to drive it!!🤪

I bought my first new car, a 24 Elantra N and couldn't be any more happier. This car is great. I already have a dozen cosmetic mods already on it's way.

Anyone in here talking about how bad the Elantra n is just flat out hasn’t seen one or driven one in real life on the road. This car turns heads and it’s unrivaled in terms of smiles per gallon straight out of the factory that’s is AFFORDABLE. This cars punches above its class. Guarantee all the people mad have gotten smoked by an Elantra n while they ride in their slush box imapala

I own a 22 N manual and two years later I still get a thrill driving it. I’m grateful that despite me being in my 40s only recently have I gotten into learning about performance cars. And yes I know this isn’t a high performance car, lol. My point though is that I didn’t have any bias against Hyundai like many others who post comments and that is why I bought one. I based my purchase decision on what owners, reviewers, and journalists had to say and they pretty much universally raved about the Elantra N. I couldn’t be happier. It’s been reliable and despite Hyundai’s questionable rep with respect to long term reliability, I have a feeling that this Hyundai is just built different.

Have had my 23' dct for over a year now. It's always a joy to drive. Tested both Manual and dct , the dct just made the car more alive.

It’s crazy how far Hyundai Hyundai has come!!! The Elantra N and so many more are just lovely and fun ❤

I’ve been using my 2022 Elantra N DCT as a family car for 2 years and it’s more than adequate for family duty. My teen and tween fit comfortably in the back and it has great trunk space for the size of the car. The suspension is completely fine in normal mode, and going down to 18’s helps with ride comfort. I run Continental DWS 06+ on mine and it’s the perfect mix of all season drivability and performance. Launch control can be tricky and I’ve experienced it not working when lining up at the tree at the drag strip, but I’ve found turning traction control off completely by holding down the traction control button for 5 seconds usually helps launch control work more consistently. As far as looks go, I still prefer the pre facelift but that’s just me.

I finally took delivery of my 2024 Elantra N in Cyber Grey with the DCT. It took months after I was given it's VIN. Delivery was delayed 5 times, but we'll worth the wait. Loving it

2018 GT Sport owner here...LOVE my car. DCT is holding up great. Good review as usually, keep it up dudes!

Yess I’ve been eating for this vid soooooo long!!!

I know this isn't about the Elantra but I've had my 22' Veloster N M/T for 5 weeks now. I'm blown away by this car. I've never owned a car that eats corners like this thing. Sounds absolutely incredible stock and surprisingly good on gas. Highest MPG figures I've managed to get so far is 34.4MPG. For a "Hot Hatch", those figures are crazy. It seriously is THE BEST car on the market for the VALUE. So fun and I've not stopped laughing at those pops. If you're looking at getting a Veloster or Elantra N.... please go test drive one now. I promise you it's so good. If you're undecided between the Manual and Dual Clutch transmission, the DCT is one of the best in its class, but the manual is the easiest I've ever driven. That rev match works unbelievably good. Get one. You wont be disappointed!

I bought one three weeks ago and I’m never using launch control. A turbo 4 cyl is not a drag racer, it’s a punchy corner carver. This car has just enough fun factor to be engaging, inexpensive enough to not feel guilty using it, and niche enough that only WRX drivers know what you’re driving. For me, it has a few party pieces that help it stand out from its closest competition.

You can raise the volume of the pumped in audio. The reason you can barely tell it's on is because Hyundai did a pretty great job at making them sound realistic. Love my Elantra N.

Finally the review I was waiting on the Elantra N

I bought that 2018 Elantra Sport based on your videos and still watching today🎉. I think it would look even more gorgeous with some N division love.

As the owner of a 2023 Honda Civic Type R, I am just happy to see any company focusing some of their R&D dollars to keeping this segment alive in 2024 and hopefully beyond. The exterior styling is not for me, but I'm sure other people will like it. Is it as iconic as a Type R? Not a chance, but it is a good deal at $10k less than the MSRP of the Type R. And that's if you can get a Type R at MSRP!

Saw you guys filming this last week!!

On my 22, launch control flat out did not work when I first got it. I did all the things with no success. After a while, it finally started working, and I have never had an issue since. I think it needs to break in a bit before it will work. I am surprised that the revised engine mount did not cure the wheel hop. Its a 10 min job to fix it with an aftermarket piece, but still.

Great, thanks for just making these harder to get than they already are! I've been waiting to get an allocation for months...

Intro song is a banger, I was waiting for Yuri to start spittin at the beat drop

Jakub and Yuri are the bomb !

I bought a 24 about 2 months ago and love everything about it, the DCT with paddle shifters is so much fun

Kona N here, launch control is sometimes finicky, but you just have to ensure the steering wheel is perfectly straight. That’s the thing that matters most I found. Also, there’s a 5 minute cooldown between launches (which is why it said conditions not met because you did it back to back). The steering wheel literally needs to be perfectly straight.

Just bought a 23 Kona N and I couldn’t be happier

Can’t wait to get this in performance blue, been waiting on the list for a while! Cheers guys this’ll do great until then❤

For anyone who can’t afford a winter and summer set of tires, I highly recommend the DWS 06 plus. It’s amazing in the rain and it’s good enough in snow. Plus during the summer the grip is great especially for a “all season” tires

Absolutely killer intro music! Also is it just me or Yuri looks like he’s a bit down? Hope everything’s alright man incase you’re not feeling the best! Thanks for finally reviewing this car boys!

Love your reviews @making Canada proud!

As a mustang guy since high school, I’m in love with these new Hyundais. They can handle anything you throw at it and comfortably so. I just got back from a drive in Lake Tahoe and it curves the corners perfect

I feel like the launch control works best with the DCT models, I got the Kona N and the launch control has worked every time I have run it.

Liked this video without even watching it yet. 😄👍🏻💪🏻

Loved this, love the N's, I've got the i20n and absolutely agree that the power is tuned beautifully to everything else about the cars, awesome 💙

11:15 Jakub’s face when he knew what a high rev launch is gonna feel like in this car

For the launch control, you have to absolutely slam the gas to get it to engage. I’ve also had more luck activating it before I come to a stop, rather than engaging when I’m already stopped. (With the DCT at least)

i just traded in my 23 N for a 24 AMG Mercedes. I loved the N such a great car for anyone looking for fun on a decent budget

Need to hold traction control button until it’s fully off, there you go. That’s literally the only thing you were missing. Keep wheel straight, ensure traction control Is fully off, activate launch control and your good. Also launch control can be re-engaged after a small period of time, just like ngs for the dct. The wheels are 8lbs lighter per corner, and forged so they are a significant upgrade performance wise. The wheel hop can be eliminated with a $40 bushing for the lower engine mount that takes 15 mins to install.

I order a Performance Blue 24 in December of 2023. Was told the manuals were on "indefinite" hiatus and I could only get a DCT. Fast forward to April when my car arrived and the dealer threw a $4,500 mark up on the car (tried an $8,000 mark up) and tried to blame Hyundai Canada for it by saying they "lie on their website" to get customers to come into the stores. Then manuals started showing up at the beginning of May. Have had the car for almost 3 months, have done 2 track days and love it. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun practical sports car. Just stay away from greedy Edmonton dealers looking to charge Type R money.

Launch control for the DCT works every single time though...The only flaw in this car is the lower engine mount bushing. Wheelhop is crazy unless you upgrade for the urethane bushing. then, it becomes perfectly managed.

Jersey boy with a 2019 Camry XSE. The Conti DWS06+ is a beast of a tire it smoothed out my ride and grips like a tank in the snow come snowboard season.

I wish they'd make a shorter coupe version of this.

My bad mods from the 90s - flip up head units w/neon lights - grant steering wheels (no airbags) - no fear stickers - cherry bomb exhaust - speaker boxes w/carpet - k&n filters w/sticker to prove you had it. - CD changer in trunk - fake stick on hood scoops (cdntire specials) - big wings on trucks (thanks Ram SRT-10) - fire extinguisher 🧯 (others mods caused fire hazards)

Holy hell, was waiting to see those axles snap from the wheel hop.

This for sure is the car to get!!! The Amazing N. Wow

Good video. I have the i30N Fastback DCT (closest thing you can get in NZ as we don't get the Elantra N, or i30 Sedan N as it's called in Australia). Such a fun car and perfectly usable every day.

@11:14 The reaction to launching at 3500 rpms was hilarious...I felt that. 😂😂

Guess Hyundai really didn't change the lower engine bushings. It's really a QoL after you change it, completely removes the tire hop. There is a slight increase of NVH after but mostly on idling and when you have music off and listening carefully. I've got the purple (performance) from powerflexusa and its been fun launching it, of course a lot of burning rubber lol

Looks way better!! Glad Hyundai is really embracing what they do well, and continuing to be very disruptive in the budget enthusiast car segment.

Finally...I been waiting for this drive. I prefer my 23 pre face lift though, and the rear end has too much black plastic in comparison to pre face lift

Great video. Might trade in my Civic Si for one of these!

I have a 2024 Elantra N and it’s amazing! Tip: don’t launch it at 3500rpm. Yes the tires may still spin at a lower rpm but in my experience, it’s not hard to get a flawless launch if the rpm’s are lower

Launch control can only be engaged on flat ground so the car can’t roll AT ALL when off the brakes. I noticed in the video, the car was slightly rolling while trying to launch every time so it’s not going to engage. I have a manual Veloster N and it’s super finicky but on perfectly flat ground I can engage it every time. Great review 👍

I worked at a tire shop and tires is literally real life 😂

Everyone keeps trying to shit on Hyundai cause of their track record but don’t realize the N cars all developed by a separate division lead by BMWs Albert Beirrmann. These cars have their own special R&D’d Engine and 2 transmissions (manual & DCT) not the typical junk they put in their normal commuter cars. Plenty of all 3 N cars way over 100k miles with little no to issues. These cars basically were made by a “different” company that just so happened to be funded by Hyundai lol

I am about 3 months from picking mine up. Can't decide what color but I'm really starting to feel that red. It looks a little more elegant on the N. Almost understated.

Wheels- the new wheels are 8 lb. lighter/wheel than the original, soooooo- the new ones are way better and the black make the callipers pop. Love em

Different cars but I had a regular Elantra and then a Corolla as recent rentals and I liked the Elantra more!

Tires on Netflix was hilarious. So good. Love Shane Gillis.

Great review! Only thing I disagree with is the ride comfort not being as good as the type R. In the softest (or even medium) setting, I can cruise with the kids in the back; no complaints. Other than that, agree with all the other issues, including launch control! 😂😂

i gotta say i really am a fan of the new elantra koreans impress me a lot lately

I went with a MK8 GTI instead of this, but shoot I love what Hyundai has done with it tbh 😮‍💨👌🏼

I just got the DWS06+'s for my '18 Elantra GT Sport, here in the Lower Mainland, BC. They're quite a bit firmer/rougher riding at recommended pressure than the OG Hankooks, and on-center is a bit squirmier, but that is possibly improving as they wear in. Or I might just be getting used to it. Dry grip is astounding. Much more than you'd ever need on the street, unless you street drive like a fool. Wheel hop during launch is basically gone on a dry road. Wet grip is also amazing. I really have to try to spin, rather than the OG's which really made wet launches impossible. They're no more loud than the Hankooks, and actually quieter than worn ones. That's what finally made me switch, other than the hydroplaning starting to creep in more than I'd like. Got almost 80k out of em, and probably could have squeezed another few thousand summer KMs. Can't complain. They had good feel and manners at least. If these Conti's last as long as the Hankooks, I'll be pretty happy.

hyundai has come a long way and im loving the brand. their i20N is gorgeous, giving me a modern feel of the first honda type r

Note, the Elantra N makes over 30 more whp than the VN on the same dyno but is super underrated from the factory. The 276/289 HP/tq is actually a call back to the gtr, that famously also sandbagged its power numbers to stay under the gentleman's agreement. Just a fun fact

lmao @ jakub's face from 11:15 and on hahaha

From my personal experience, these hyundai turbo petrols are fun to drive for the first few months and then the novelty wears off and it gets especially annoying once the GDIs start self destructing as they near 100k miles. I learnt my lesson the hard way, I went ahead and sold it and then bought a corolla, because the service center was sort of becoming my second home. My corolla feels dead in comparison, no doubt about it. But atleast it won't leave me stranded at 1 am waiting for a tow truck in the middle of nowhere.

Wheels were one of my favorite upgrades LOL prefer the look and decently lighter. Normal GR Corolla out-the-door pricing locally is like $10k more. Great Review!

The black wheels look great and save weight. Much better than the older ones they replaced. The alfa romeo style wheels look really bad; glad they didn't end up going with those.

I’m so happy you showed the launch control not working. I’ve had the same issue with my 2022 Elantra N DCT since the day I bought it. It’s very frustrating. I can launch my wife’s Veloster N with no issue, but for some reason the Elantra N doesn’t let me do it.

Very happy with my 2019 Veloster N, but I may get one of these eventually

You are wrong about the rims. Love’em!

Jack is everyone😂 6 feet one and a half, don’t round up man, you look great. You should feel great everyone loves you you big piece of kindness, integrity, and fun. I effing love you brother. and, Привіт Юра.

14:38 I just asked my cell phone to define "periwinkle". It said, "an Old World plant with flat five-petaled, typically bluish flowers and glossy leaves".

Family person here, I've had multiple STI... Would consider this vehicle yes

ive driven the 22 with the DCT, such a beautiful and fun car

Lol, I like the black wheels way more than the press photo ones.

I like those Forged black wheels, i wish i got them on my KN.

The refresh is better, but I still can't do the red bottom trim on these. Vinyl wrap it black and would go from boy racer to a respectable cheap fun car.

The wheel hop 😂😂😂

Yeah my i30N had that exact same wheel hop, it was horrible lmao. I never even bothered with launch because of it, was happy just doing it myself off the line.

Owned a 2020 VN 2022 EN 2022 KN and a 2023 EN Give me the comfy seats in the states and I would be back in a EN in a heartbeat!

Performance meets style!

If only you could get the Elantra/i30 N in hatchback in the US. Seems like it's offered pretty much everywhere else, and the hatch is more useful/practical and better looking than the sedan, facelift not withstanding. And don't get me started about the i20/Accent N, which should be a nice little hatch to fling about with abandon. The US seems to be only offered the models no one else wants, but rarely gets the really fun (or really practical) versions.

7:11 - I believe that the wheels are the same. It´s just the light that makes the difference. At least the style is the same. Maybe the color of these wheels. You have completely black. Here in Europe we have like gunmetal, dark grey, matt color. That looks way better. But again, the same style.

It looks a million times better

Shout out to YURI for having that MAGIC TOUCH 😂

Wish they didn’t kill the veloster but this is a nice N. My veloster N never gets old

I have the same car and the same color and I love it! I love the wheels I love the launch control I love everything about this car!

Have to turn traction all the way off with the traction off button, full N mode isn’t enough, more consistent with DCT version at least

my buddy put launch control on his genesis and we found that it wont activate if the car senses that it is rolling even a little bit, so maybe that plays a part?

It looks best in white imo

best NEW car to buy that's relatively affordable these days... Yes. Competes with type r performance for the price of a gr86/BRZ

Yuri driving an 89 Olds Cutlass Supreme International?! Boss!!!

I like the new front end so much more. No more black hole.

The fact that stav drives a dumped out purple 240sx really make the show

nice throw back to Siskel and Ebert

Already subscribed 😂 great launch! Would instant buy a Elantra N hatchback/wagon as my family car. Type R pricey 4 seater, and GR Corolla too small and not enough RWD oversteer fun as promised (I hear the Morizo is another league of fun though)

I remember as a kid visting my relatives, everybody had Fido Dido tshirts. Did you guys have them?
