2021-2024 Hyundai Elantra After 3 Years and 60,000 Miles: How well has it held up?  

We bought ours in 2021. Liked it so much that when it was totaled in a hit and run accident we bought the 2023 model in less than a week.

If the manual says to change the ivt fluid at 60,000 then it should be changed. Not changing it in accordance with the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule may actually void the warranty.

Thanks for video. Waiting for summary after 100k!

I have a 2019 kia forte LXS. Same engine and transmission, 103k miles & never had a problem! I love mine. Hopefully trading for a Elanta N line soon!

The CVT fluid should be drained and refilled at least every 30,000 miles. Don't care what any "expert" says, if you want the CVT to last that's what you need to do.

Great update ,,,,,,,very well done.

I currently have a Elantra as a rental because my Tesla 3 is in the shop. I agree, the Elantra is very impressive. I love the range and it's got me thinking if I should go back to ICE vehicle for now.

Very helpful video. Planning to buy 2024 model this month

Great info! On Point

Awesome review

My mother has the exact same one (same colour as yours). She absolutely loves it and it's been perfectly reliable for her.

Great video

You did well, Elantra is a very good car for the money, great warranty, well price. It will be our next car... this is from someone being in automobile business for a very long time and retired.

Thanks for great review.I wanted to buy. 2024 Sonata but in Canada the $36000 non turbo version has no navigation or analog guages like the US versions which is a dealbreaker for me .So I'm seriously considering the $31000 Elantra Luxury which has both.Your review has been a great help.

Nice. I’m the second owner of mine. So sadly my warranty goes out at 60k. But im about 700 mi away from 50k so I still have 10k miles! I think I’ll have the CVT fluid replaced at 60k per the manual. But mine is doing great! Luckily the previous owner also gave it plenty of love!

I bought mine in 2022 but it is a 2019 model in my country. i love it i am waiting for the new model.

I have a 2021 Elantra sel with 39K miles and I’m surprised you had that many issues, the only complaints I have with the car is the apply CarPlay is wireless I don’t like that I find it less reliable than wired CarPlay, besides that I never ran into a real issue with this car it’s served me good and haven’t had a problem with the engine or transmission, I keep up with oil changed, got a new set of tires and front brake pads at 35K miles.(I’ve had the car for a little over 3 years now)

As you mentioned about your steering wheel, how do we know about steering problem (steering wheel swiss) as you said in the video?

My 2019 Elantra sport with DCT transmission has been terrible. DCT transmission plates had to be replace at 30k miles. The worm shaft had to be replaced. There is creaking noise in the suspension when turning slowly and the dealer has replaced serval parts and can’t find where the noise comes from. Currently with 47k miles and now the pain is starting to fall off.

109k miles no issues other than top engine mount. Mine is a 2017 and due to gas direct change spark plugs every 30k use tier 1 gas and yeah amazingly reliable.

Nice informative video, Regarding Elantra, MPG is very good, I noticed your cars engine bay, Quite dusty. You drive in sandy areas.

I changed my fluid at 60. Was never told it would void the warranty. Measure what you drain and add that amount back in

Hyundais are just too reliable till this day. Great brand

Great video. What was issue with the backup camera? Was it the camera itself? Thanks

In many older cars, you drove away from the accident, which was an important consideration in those days. People knew to centerpunch things so they weren't involved in an offset crash. My stepfather drove his 1958 Ford truck off a bridge, when it was retrieved, he drove it home.

Recognize @ 1:43 where you are driving. I'm up the mountain about 25 miles from there. Did you buy yours at the dealer near where this scene was shot?

I own a 2021 Elantra N-line stick shift with 138,000 miles on it in California, 2nd set of tires 3 windshields (currently cracked) waiting until i need to change it, 2 serpentine belt (changed under recall) spark plugs, filters and fluid changes at recommended intervals, the back up camera is not working most of the time recently and any possible fix is very expensive, hoping to figure it out myself. Other then the camera issue I'm happy with it, if i was buying it today i might look into the Corolla AWD stick shift instead, maybe

Thank you!👍

2022 two tone, fully optioned at cad 35k. I'm now at 28,000km. there are other great cars to consider at the low-mid 30k but honestly, im satisfied. it's somewhat fun to drive, and u can get up to 56mpg\4.5L/100km. which is insane numbers for a non hybrid Sure, the engine upgrade would've been nice since for a 35k, you could get something like civic with upgrade engine, but elantra 2.0 is not slower than civic with the turbo. In fact, it's faster from a dead stop. Great tech, great car.

I went test drive the hybrid 2023. I had a Kia K5 2023 got hail damage. I felt in love the Elantra hybrid. Bought it. Hybrid limited in Town 50 mpg. Free way 60 to 74 mpg

Here in saudia arabia the dealership changes the CVT fluid after 60000 kilometers = 37000 miles

Please another update on the car specially if there is any issue encountered

i have elantra 2022 with 1.6 ivt you have to change oil with 2 filter im from saudi arabia 50 degree so hot🥲 i like my elantra its high milage car 197000 km im uber driver😊

My 2022 2.0 w/99k has been fair. 45mpg with 90% hwy driving. Tires(continentals) look great still and are the original set. Only negative has been a bad thermostat at 94k, which was $200 plus 2 hours labor to install.

Had issues and covered by warranty doesn't mean it didn't have issues before 60k

Great update - gives me confidence in mine - I have a '21 Elantra (called Preferred here, middle model, but I got a heated leather wheel and they take away the dual heat unit). Only 25,000 km on it - I added the 8 year or 160,000 km warranty ($2000) - maybe in year six I will sell it to a courier or something. My steering wheel does do that swish sound - but only occasionally - so I bet I will have to have them swap that out. Interested in what the engine mount warning was. The mileage of these cars is like magic - suburban city I get 5.6L/100km to 7.3/100km in winter. I literally gave up on the factory tires and move to all weather (so winter rated but fine to use in summer) - rims and the pressure sensors and storage was just too expensive. The bonus was that it bumps the sidewall rating up (stiffer) probably to counter the deeper tread. I lost a bit of mpg but they are way nicer 3 seasons of the year no question - Bridgestone WeatherPeak.

I've never had a steering worm gear replaced and I've had cars with well over 200,000 MI

U lucky my sonata 2021 had to get a new engine and transmission before the first oil change.

What’s the sound for the steering wheel? I think I might need to take in mine. Also how did you find out about the engine mount? Thanks! I’m at 55k miles and done camera, horn and taillights for water all under warranty. We he have the same car ! 😂

What are your thoughts on getting a sonata? a 2024 one, i saw they got a new facelight and its beautiful

bought to possibly buy a 2021 hyundai elantra sel w/ 60k miles for 16k... is it worth?

Good job, babe.

Hey I was hoping you could tell me how to remove the backup noise. Thanks brother I have a 23 hybrid limited

If you like the idea of Tesla's FSD, you can buy a comma 3x for your Hyundai. It is better than FSD at the fundamentals, but closer to 2022 FSD in terms of advanced features. Hyundai/Kia is the best manufacturer for it. I have one in my 2023 Elantra. I drove from Minnesota to Florida, and it was hands free 99% of the time.

I've never had a motor mount replaced and I've had Toyota's I went to 200,000 me and they didn't even need motor mounts and I've never had a steering worm gear replaced either and if you look online vehicle should be easily able to go into 100,000 miles plus

Since you travel all over the country, I highly recommend taking it to another Hyundai dealership to have the CVT fluid changed now rather than later. Preventive maintenance is never a bad idea. Following the severe service schedule created by Hyundai will not void the warranty. That's nonsense. If they push back, insist that they change it, and stand outside the service bay to watch and make sure they actually change the fluid. They're giving you the run around because they don't want to be on the hook for replacing your CVT under warranty. It would be better for it to fail at 60k miles under warranty than changing the fluid just outside warranty and it failing at that point.

I love the video. However it doesn't take hours to charge a Tesla. Not even close. But range anxiety is real and charging times still suck.

What is your opinion on the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid vs Hyundai Elantra gas model?

2019 elantra sport, 1 spark plug a year and one year a spark plug and coil, each time was so bad had to have it towed. Ended up trading it in because they wouldn't address why the issue kept happening. 4 years and only 32k miles...shouldn't happen once, let alone 3 times.

Is your elantra a hybrid?

What drive mode to get 52 mpg?

my 2023 hyundai elantra hybrid was just boughtback by hyundai for lemon law. 6 horns since aug 17 22. Cant find main problem casuing horn to blow. 36k miles. you say hyundais been good to you, not to me. They just tell dealer to replace horn and get me on my way. Never find the main problem and doesnt care.

I don't blame hardworking folks who dare NOT touch any Kia or Hyundai vehicle. With the massive bill they shouldered from the engine failure fiasco plus other major safety recalls, guess who will foot the bill eventually?

only 49 K miles on tires? How the hell you drive?

2022 Honda accord. Zero. Nothing. Not even brakes after 47k.

You are SUPPOSED to change your transmission fluid... do more research every mechanic says this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even the manual in severe says to do so

Hyundai Elantra is THE ugliest vehicle I have ever seen in years 😆 The Prius is already ugly and the Elantra is even UGLIER. Holly molly... it looks like a broken starcraft and is it a half of a spaceship ??? Idk man... it looks just too weird to me

How comfortable are the seats on those long road trips
