2017 Hyundai Elantra - Redline: Review 

Hyundais today are extremely gorgeous. They're stepping up their game big time. Nice to see.

I have the 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE. and I’m in love with it. I don’t really care if it’s “base model” or not. It’s a very zippy car and it’s great on gas. Mine has 75k miles, rides like a dream, transmission shifts smoothly, has eco and sport mode. It’s a fun car! The only thing I want to do to it is tint the windows, update my dash radio kit and get better wheels!

This offers a very smooth quiet and comfortable ride when drive like a normal person and you're not flooring it and trying to race people on a small park road.

lmfao I thought he was going to crash at 16:06. I love my Hyundai, its good on gas. Gets me from point A to B

Your knowledge is incredible....the depth Context, details, comparison to your memory of your test of previous models Don't think most people realize you are towards the top in terms of auto reporters when you can do that

I watch a lot of car review videos and you really put together a great package from the external shots, inside and content. I always learn a lot in your vids and count myself on the enthusiast side so appreciate your specific point of view. As for this segment, these "small" cars have grown so much and are priced much higher and closer to some of the mid-sized ones, I'd have a tough time passing on an Mazda 6 touring with manual over a little more tech-laden, smaller car just to save a few mpgs.

I rented this car a few weeks ago. The engine is pretty peppy under 4,000 rpm, but quickly loses power above 4k rpm. The car looks nice and is quite comfortable. As a daily driver, it is a good car. Think of it as an improved Toyota Corolla...nothing wrong with that... It returned 5.1 L/100 km (rented the car in Canada)....roughly equal to about 45 mpg.... that was impressive....

I think Hyundai have done a great job on the exterior design, even the interior is better than the civic for my taste !

I like your reviews. You're very thorough in your videos, I tend to always see if you have done any car I might be looking at. I don't get why people want to criticize and talk crap about how you go about doing your reviews. I appreciate your style and feel that you deliver a very informative and personal POV, I want feedback of anyone that does car reviews. Anyhow keep up the good work.

My 17 Elantra just turned 42.000 miles. Absolutely flawless. Even tires still have decent tread left. Very happy with it.

hey soyfan, I have had my 2017 elantra for a year now. little over 14000 miles. 0 problems. like it very much. I noticed that the ac is on during this road test. with the ac off, it's much quicker. just like all cars. I am very happy with it PS some car enthusiasts do buy cars like this! On day's I want to fly I bring out my muscle car ! however I find I can push the elantra in tight curves and corners and it does very well it also cruises along at 80 85 all day and does not feel stressed. Anyway keep up the good work. your one of the best

This is a commuter car, of course nobody will be racing it, why do you focus so heavily on that aspect?

Good lord that was a stressful drive. I was cringing when you almost hit that Odyssey.

Dude, I would still buy this new Elantra over any Civic trims.. It's just smiply better made, better priced car than Civic. Besides, this new Elantra doesn't look grotesque in front like the new Civic... I hate that front design of new Civic. Elantra's got my vote. Thanks for the review as always.

Beautiful car. Lots of good features standard. One of the best new car warranties in the business. Great review.

I do really love watching redline review its very informative :)

I just rented one of these for a weekend and the acceleration was just fine, and the engine was not noisy. If you do nothing but floor it as you do in every damn video you do then yeah you're going to hear it. Try doing a review driving the vehicles like a normal person. A single 0-60 test is fine, but flooring it at a stoplight all the time is just ridiculous.

I have a 2017 Elantra and I'm very happy with it in all aspects

the breaklights from the filming crew car gives the headlights a nice red glow.

Amazing video presentation! Perfect explanation for every aspect of the car. I’m really considering buying this car. Somewhat Affordable and really spacious and luxurious!

Got this car from Enterprise while my Lexus was being fixed and now I miss it:*) it got comfortable in it the very first day of driving it, and it was so easy to use and fun to drive. A lot of features for this price point 👍🏼

I own a 2017 Elantra, value edition, and I used to sell Honda's for 4 and a half years and I have to say the Hyundai brand is really coming up in the automotive world. Yes while Honda does have some better features, Honda has always been known for more performance and interior looks. Sadly now a days the cars are looking more and more...well let's just say they don't look Good to me (other than the civic hatch) Hyundai gives out a lot of technology for the price but does lack on the excitement aspect. But dollar for dollar the Hyundai is catching up to Honda's and Toyota's very quickly and I wouldn't be surprised to see Hyundai one day running with the big dogs.

Just got this car but it's 2018 and I absolutely love it!

I have a 2017 with the tech/ appearance package i got it for 15k. I love this car! It came with a sunroof!

Great review, very thorough.

always great reviews

Just got this car in the exact same color. Limited edition. My second car. Love it.

Nice little car, had one for a week as a rental SE model 2017. Gas miles was great, I drive a SUV daily so I was loving this. Very easy handling. It just did it's job. Next rental, i'm trying to get a ford focus to compare to the Elantra. In the near future we are looking into getting a second car. This will mostly be driven by my wife. If I had to buy it on the spot, I would but I will like the bluetooth option for our phone connectivity. All the other tech options that it comes with on higher trims is nice but keeping cost down is a focus for us.

These picayune reviewers are an odd bunch. What do you expect for the price? A formula one? I have an Elantra GT and I LOVE that car! BTW: Notice how NO reviewers EVER talk about RELIABILITY ---- only TOYS!

Wow love the exterior look and I would drive this car.

As much as I would like to have a sportier drive, I just can't stand the new Civic's design. I picked up a limited model 2017 Elantra and my only complaint is the acceleration. I love the technology that it comes with , the exterior design, and the interior design/space. Overall I like the Elantra better, but if the civic design was more my style than I would have picked it up.

I used to have a 2006 Mazda 3. I now have a 2016 Mazda 3. An awesome and fun car to drive.

Honda Civic does not earn a recommended rating by Consumer Reports due to reliability much below average since the redesign. More value in the Hyundai/Kia products currently.

Well, my 2017 Elantra i bought new in May of 2016, just hit the milestone mark, 100.000 miles! Car has been absolutely fantastic. 0 repairs, 0 issues! Uses no oil between changes. Everything still works like new. Even the brake pads are original, and was told, once again, while having new tires installed, 2 months ago, That they still dont need replacement..only other thing replaced has been 2 batteries.

Excellent review. I just subscribed. Nice shirt by the way. Where did you buy it?

very good review. Thanks for video.

I have a 2013. I'm glad they moved the blower vents higher. It does defrost the front window very fast and the road noise is louder than my 2003 Elantra. Other than that no complaints

You should do the revamped '17 Corolla I'm interested to see how the changes they made fare against this new Elantra from Hyundai.

between a 2015 honda accord or the 2017 hyundai elantra, which one is more reliable? im getting a new car next month and i'm choosing between those two. looking for reliability more than anything else, but i don't really like toyota's otherwise i'd get one. I've heard honda's have always been reliable, and hyundai's used to have a low reliability rate, so i'm really curious about the newer models that i've heard are better.

Do you plan to review the Elantra Sport? It has fully independent suspension and the turbo engine and automotive journalists have said it feels like a different vehicle.

Can't wait until the sport comes out...!!!!

Great review :)

How many speeding tickets do you have ? :-) Good review!

i fucking love this guy....its a real automotive jurnalist....and he is making good job explaining all u need to find about a car

I am using one as a rental right now and I put it in sport just to see . And I gotta say , this thing is fun and a little noisier than I would've thought for a Hyundai. (A good loud)

Happy 200K

Did anyone else notice he almost smacked that jeep in the beginning of the video? 😂

that car is way beautiful than the previous designs with overly curvy lights

Can you review the 2017 Hyundai Elantra sport with the DCT & Premium Package for Sport please?

I just bought a 2017 elantra I love it

Beautifully designed n good car😊

I like this car. Attractive. Not overstated. Good value.

whats the ground clearsnce of elantra and tucson?

My 2017 Elantra SE actually is very responsive when you hit the gas. The one you are driving in the video sounds much louder than my car.

Apple just updated CarPlay in iOS 10 to include the helper screen in addition to the main screen. Any word if Hyundai will support that in the future? If they can rollout CarPlay via a software update, I don't see why they couldn't do it with the helper screen.

Does the rear seat still feel like sitting on a Styrofoam?

how is road noise compared to civic? Also how are the upgraded speakers?

Didn't mention the new Elantra Sport coming!!!

Nice to see a non gdi engine. No body wants to deal with the carbon build up issues later on down the road.

My cousin is giving me his for free because he got a new car. He told me it just needs some work done but it’s mine as soon as he gets his new car. I was saving up money to buy a car but am now getting a really nice one on a silver platter for free. I seriously couldn’t be more grateful in my life. Also he used the car for Uber and other driving services so it’s got some mileage on it. But I don’t really care cuz I’m getting a car for free. With America’s economy right now, I’ll even be grateful if I get a broken down bike for free.

You may have not noticed, but the new Elantra has a height-adjustable passenger seat, standard in all trims!!! You can't get that at any price in the new Civic and most other cars, and you have to get the most expensive trim in the new Cruze, if you want that feature.

Can you do a review of the 2017 Kia Forte?

The elantra is a great first car for people exiting college and into the real world. Is it great, no, but it has some good incentives and won't destroy someone with monthly payments

Nice review

This car looks like the Ford Focus and Chevy Cruze got blended together.

A lot of these newer cars are coming equipped with manual shifting modes or paddle shifters and you don't really spend touch on them. With the declining options for manual transmissions, can you guys post 5 minute videos where you just focus on manual mode on these cars so we can get a feel of what to expect when the automatic is on the only option .

Looks pretty nice exterior wise o;

24:23 "Muahaheraha"? You have some unique friends. Lol

Why is your intro music about 3x louder than your dialogue?

Today when you look at Hyundai, you should say to yourself these are car designs that Audi would have had today. Some of you already know exactly what I'm talking about saying this.

Redline can you Review the Honda Fit

A nice review

I have a 2015 Jetta 1.8T. My previous car was a 2006 Mazda 3 5 door with the 2.3 engine. My Mazda is much more refined and more solid of a car. My big complaint with my Jetta is that the whole interior is hard plastic everywhere and the drivers seat is not as supportive or as well bolstered as my Mazda. I should have bought another Mazda even though it rusted pretty bad around year seven or eight which really depressed me. I have never owned a car that rusted like that around the wheel wells and the bottom of the doors The current models are more aerodynamic and back seat room has decreased to the point of being only for kids or shorter people. My Jetta has a 12yr/120000 mile rust proof warranty, where Mazda has I think 3/36 on everything now. My 2006 came with a 4/50 warranty which was a bit better than everyone else. I want to take the Elantra Sprot for a ride with that 200hp turbo motor. I want that zoom zoom that Mazda provides back in my driving life. I miss my Mazda more than my last girlfriend. Sorry baby.

are u reviewing the 2017 genesisi coupe, would love to see it! great videos keep it up

While I do like some of the updated features of the 2017 redesign, I like the styling and looks of my 2013 Elantra Coupe much better, and the updated features and more lackluster looks are not enticing me to upgrade. The gen5 Elantra was a much better looking car, has all the features I want/need, and in my opinion is very comfortable to drive even on long trips. Sure it can be "skittish" in corners, but I don't try to drive it like a race car. If I wanted sports car performance, I would have bought a sports car! I'll stick with my 2013 coupe. When it is time to upgrade (probably not till around 2020-2023, if not longer), chances are it will be another Hyundai. Besides, who can beat Hyundai's class leading 10yr warranty!

Sofyan is young and likes fast cars that handle well. This is why he drives recklessly in state parks where the speed limit is 15mph. This is also why he whines about a car designed as a general use vehicle because it doesn't perform like a Camaro SS. If you see cars through "Hot Wheels" eyes then his reviews make sense.

Can anyone tell me which is better(sporty) there are 2 types of Elantra engine here in Croatia 1.6 MPi (Petrol) 128BHP and 1.6 CRDi U2 Engine (Diesel) 136 BHP which of those two would accelerate and be faster ive read that diesel engines accelerate slower but can't decide yet

Can you pleaseeeee review the new Elantra sport!!

About to get a 2017 limited with around 80k miles on it. waiting on paperwork. hope this car works well for doordash and daily driving. ill probably be its last owner. and this car looks amazing.

I have a 2013 Elantra and several things let it down: 1. Lack of engine power, 2. Road noise inside 3. Not a smooth ride. They have addressed several of those but engine power seems to be still not great...although as regards value for money it's good. Standard models have heated front seat, air con, cruise control...so pretty good features. Regarding ride and noise, I don't expect a luxury car for the price of an elantra

You need to test the new Elantra Sport!

We are you going to get the 2016 Nissan Sentra SL.

Does this have remote start?

I believe the engine in this car is an Atkinson Cycle design, which is far from ordinary for a non-hybrid design. The Mazda 3 never gets the advertised MPG in test reviews I have seen, but the new Elantra hits the EPA marks or better. It certainly does as well as the Corolla LE. I think it looks way better than the Honda or Mazda 3. I heard a sport model is coming with an independent rear suspension and better brakes.

With the limited you have to drive it in sport with the auto stick to get any acceleration or just regular mood will work.

Need you to do a review of the VW Jetta 1.4 and 1.8 for comparison. They should have a lot more low end torque.

Are the semi-autonomous features available as a package for all trim levels like Honda Sensing is on all CVT equip Civics?

my new elantra doesn't have a push start, sunroof, or cd player..but it does have a back up camera which is awesome

I have a big complaint about this review and most reviews on youtube. Most of the reviews are for the higher trims, even though the majority of sales are the lower trims. Almost all your reviews, I would rather see on a lower trim version of the car - because that's probably what I would be buying. Other than that I want to say, I really enjoy them How about you do your reviews of 2019 autos on the lowest trim versions so they will be useful? Thanks.

Its Kinda good car,i love cars with sport mode,I Would buy it

whats the title of the background music?

7:24 Isn't it 4.2 inch display?

I have a value edition. I get 30 MPG in the city. I don't drive on freeways, so idk the highway MPG.

i love this car design. much better than civic. i hope this car comes to Indonesia.

I definitely know that that key is staying in my bag. It’s brown...

This is really funny, its a site re the new Hyundai elantra but prior to it starting up there is an ad about a Mazda!

really nice shirt dude

I've been driving this car for the past two weeks and just completed a 6 hr road trip and I have to say you didn't give it enough credit. It's actually pretty fast, the 60 to 90 acceleration is really good, the take off is slightly slow but no problem when changing lanes or from a roll. I think you have a poor driving style as well because I have a lead foot and still got 36-38city and 39-42highway. It actually got the best gas mileage at around 80mph. Also I quickly switch driving modes when I need to avoid a box or stick situation and it had no problem sling shooting to 95mph when I needed to pass an asshat who stayed in the fast lane and decides to speed up when I had to pass. Overall this vehicle has a 26-30k feel for only 17-19k, that's really impressive.

ok im confused what is the 2017 version that have fog lights because this is not it and not the 2016 model. no parking sensors and no A/C hatch for back seat wtf is this version? i see a 2017 version have all of those.

I think Honda Civic wins in terms of safety technology and features. You have to buy the Limited Elantra in order to get the adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and Automatic Breaking. These safety features are available in all civic trims including the based LX. If you care about these safety features, you should consider the Civic. It is a pitty that such important safety features are not available in the lower trim Elantra
