Updated 2024 Hyundai Elantra review // Do you like the changes?

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updated 2024 Hyundai Elantra compact sedan. The 2024 Hyundai Elantra gets a refresh, this sedan offers a lot of value! We are driving the gas model with a 2L 4-cylinder matched to an intelligent variable transmission, 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, FWD only. The 2024 Hyundai Elantra still has sharp, angular lines but a more streamlined front fascia and sculpted rear lower fascia compared to the outgoing model, it has a black grille, body coloured door handles, a new flat stainless steel Hyundai emblem, updated exterior lighting elements and sleek headlights making it quite a unique looking sedan.
This 2024 Hyundai Elantra model has some new safety features for 2024 like rear side airbags, a rear seat belt reminder and steering wheel haptic feedback added to lane keep assist, blind spot collision warning and rear-cross traffic alert.
The 2024 Hyundai Elantra cabin is modern and comfortable with standard cloth upholstery, available premium cloth which we have on our test model and new leatherette seating surfaces in light grey or black. There’s also a redesigned wireless charging pad and soft touch front door panels.
Standard 2024 Hyundai Elantra features include, an 8” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. If you add the available 10.25” touchscreen with navigation which we have on our test model, you get wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
Other available 2024 Hyundai Elantra features include, a 10.25” digital driver display, wireless charger, 8-speaker Bose sound system, a heated steering wheel, hands-free power trunk, 64-colour ambient lighting and a moonroof. The Elantra does not offer ventilated fronts seats or heated rear seats and in the US, a heated steering wheel is not available.
2024 Hyundai Elantra fuel economy is good especially on the highway, the Elantra gets 7.6L/100 km, 31 MPG city and 5.7L/100 km, 41 MPG highway.
The 2024 Hyundai Elantra Essential starts at $24,506 CAD, Preferred $26,306 CAD, Preferred + trend package (our test model) $28,256 CAD and Luxury $30,506 CAD. In the US, SE $21,475 USD, SEL $23,425 USD, SEL Convenience package $25,175 USD and Limited $26,915 USD.
What’s new for 2024?

I have a 2017 Elantra. On the way to work one day the engine blew. After proving all my maintenance Hyundai replaced the engine. The same day I got the car back the engine light came on. Took it back and turns out the new engine was bad. They replaced the engine again. Each costing $7500. All covered under warranty. They had my car for 3 months. I got it back it back 3 days ago. So far so good.

They finally fixed the front look. The rear still needs improvement. My biggest concerns with Hyundai and Kia are reliability, resale value and awful dealerships.

No one does couples car review better than you guys! Keep up the good work🎉 hopefully we will see the 2024 Elantra N in Canada soon.

In Korea and/or other markets the Hyundai has a:

-front camera
-memory seats
-wireless entry (with a cell phone)
-headlight levelling
-ventilated front seats
-LED tail lamps

and that's just what I know off the top of my head.... Makes me mad that we are missing out on so much on a great car.

The 2.0 liter motor is powerful for its size and very reliable. My 2017 has 143k and still running perfect!

Reviewing car like this I think should be more common as these are themost selling vehicles and people who are thinking about a car in this category range are newcomers or newer drivers who in my opinion need a lot of direction in there search. So if super great guys like you explains the details it is a blessing. Thank you for your great work.

Sport mode slide is like our 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS AWD and it is still running great with 296thou km ❤ keep up the good work 🙏

I own 2022 with 45000km and so far zero complaints, zero issues. Proud Korean

great video by an awesome pair of reviewers!

Thank you for all of your reviews. They are very thorough, informative and fun.
As I Am The Car Guy in the family, they will be very helpful in making an informed decision by my son on the purchase of two new vehicles in the near future.
He is considering the Camry XSE Hybrid and for the 2nd vehicle the
Kia Sportage Hybrid.
Prior to me getting involved he was looking at the Cadillac ct5 v Blackwing and the Genesis G80!
Oy 🤦
We will have to see if dealerships are going to try to charge over MSRP. Because, to me, that's a non-starter.

My son has a 2022 Elantra and he set the cruise control at 100 km/h on the 401 to see what economy he could get and the car reported he was getting 4.4 l/100km,

[Mourad-oh]

finally, I was witting for your review for 6 month.

[michaelsylvester]

Thanks so much for the reviews I do like the new front end.

[TypeToSnipe]

My wife has a 2020 Venue that also has the same 'IVT' and I'm always impressed with the zip it has when I drive it. Seems quicker off the line than my 2018 Elantra even though it has less horsepower. Seems like they did a good job with that transmission.

I like the looks of this generation but what I hate is the size. We have smaller spots for compact cars in our building and my 2018 fits very well with a bit of room to spare, but my neighbour has a 2023 model and the back end sticks out a bit.

I don't need a bigger car and if anything happened to my Elantra, I'd probably get a Venue to replace it.

This looks like it’s bigger than the 2009 Sonata I had for about two years. I got rid of it when the white paint started peeling and Hyundai did nothing to fix it. I love the 24 Sonata appearance and look forward to the review. This Elantra is well equipped with a great price point, but those creases on the side are horrible. Great review as always!

[levigato]

The 2018 Elantra was the best and timeless looking one. They jumped the shark after that.

[seanbarrett]

I had a 2012 Sonata but sadly I was in a accident and it was totaled. I then got a Elantra. A fun and zippy little car.Just as long as weather conditions are perfect, Definitely helps getting all season tires and not the hancook's they usually come with. It was terrible in the winter and not great on wet roads. I will say when i went to upgrade a little over 2 years ago...i saw the new Elantra model and was tempted to get it. I actually ended up getting a Camry. I think in the right region...Elantra is a great car, affordable and stylish.

[shopwithaaron]

Thx you two!! Soooo glad my stinger was hardly touched at all in it's way too short run. Still like the 2020 rear taillight signature best!

[Snafu]

Personally... this is just my own experience. Hyundai/kia dealerships are the worst I've been to. They are the most rude, stuck up places I've been to.
This was mostly from their upper staff and that experience though just one in particular puts enough of a bad taste behind me that I'll never go to one. Then the FI guy from Hyundai actually came into my own workplace and he was as much of a pos out of work as he was at his own workplace.
The recent Hyundai/Kia allegations I've been seeing don't paint it in a good light.
I hope the incidents are isolated and I'm sure they are.... somewhat. (FI people are never painted in a good light, except I will say the one I worked with when I worked at a dealership 15 yrs ago was, but the market was different back then). But its enough to put me off to just say no. It shouldn't have taken that other person with the battery issue on their Ionic for nearly $60, 000 for them to go as far as they did. They should have just helped their customer but they chose to not care until the customer got the media involved. If they hadn't, the person would had no choice than to write off their car.

I see a lot of these on the road and I own one myself (23), its fun to drive, priced well, great on gas and reliable but I’m not liking the refresh.
