Review: 2024 Hyundai Elantra N (Manual) - Still the Top Performance Value?

I spend a week with the refreshed and improved 2024 Hyundai Elantra N to see how the tweaks for 2024 affect the driving experience as well as discussing how the Elantra N now stacks up against it's new competitors these days.

What are your thoughts on the 2024 Elantra N? Big thanks to Hyundai for providing this vehicle to review!

“Its an Elantra, you’re buying it for the performance not for the luxury experience” is a sentence i never thought i would hear 😂

Love the non biased reviews. You give your honest opinion on how u like the car, which most normal people will agree with

Really amazing that Hyundai provides this much value and performance. Really impressive, honestly. Love my GR Corolla, but I wouldn’t fault anyone for wanting one of these. Really sweet car.

Sitting in my N watching this! Yes. I’m parked. Great car! Thanks Matt!

The new rims with the red calibers on this color look amazing.

Han : You're representing me now. What you think, I'm gonna let you roll in a Hyundai? 😂🤣

That looks beautiful. Rarely do i say that about a modern car. Perfect value too.

FYI the wheel hop (vibrations under wheel spin) is something easily solved by swapping out the motor/trans mount bushings. Did it on my '22, only took an hour or so, cost like $150CAD for all 3 and the wheel hop is completely eliminated. Shifting feels better now too as an added bonus! I think EVERYONE who buys this car (even if it's a '24) should do it

I own this exact car, love it! I’m coming from 2 Type Rs too. Super fun, excellent handling and steering, love the car.

[MegaRetr]

Wow looks much better with the face-lift)))

[bryantcurtis]

So much better looking - one of these full black would look awesome!

[Vandantcyclone]

Thanks for review man. I’m liking the new Korean cars a lot lately. Hopefully they hold up well cause they’re pretty cool

[MrJpotter]

Considering trading in my Civic Si for one of these. Great video, Matt!

[RobTheNthusiast]

I’m so glad you finally got to review this car! As far as the auto cruise control, for some reason the US Hyundai N cars doesn’t have that as an option but the rest of the world does 🤦🏽‍♂️

[Angryeddie]

Looks great, lot easier on the eyes than previous face. Great review as always!

[ranthony]

Great value. In Canada it is 42, 000, which is cheaper then the gti, civic r and gr Corolla

16:22 theres those gunshot backfires I was telling you about Matt 😂

[fortheloveofnoise]

Wish I could afford a brand new car so I could "save the manuals", I will just have to be happy with my 98 5 speed Sentra.

[Symphoniics]

Loved this review! There’s still a lot of hate out there because “it’s a Hyundai 🤪” which is super disappointing to see. I guess it’s a bit of a iykyk type of deal. Awesome car. Thanks for doing it justice and showcasing its value

I must take issue with calling the seats in the Type R “over the top”. I would argue the front seats in the CTR are some of the best in the business especially for the class that it plays in.
