Over the past few years, some car manufacturers have stuck Sport badges on the backs of certain vehicles, but have failed to actually back up the claims in many cases. Whether lacking in performance, driving dynamics, or looks, a lot of the cars fail to meet the mark in terms of sportiness. So can Hyundai's new Elantra Sport actually live up to the badge? Watch the review to find out!
Really disappointed that you complained so much about the interior. Are you forgetting that this is a $22,000 car? A few hard touch plastics and manual adjustments are nothing. For the price, I'd say this interior is luxurious, especially when compared to something like the more expensive Toyota 86. The simplicity of the center stack is very reminiscent of Audi, actually. I love it.
The money they put into this car is for the amazingly rigid steel that it uses, the confidence inspiring suspension, and the decently powerful engine. The power seats, fancy interior, and other creature comforts don't matter to people that buy cars with a sport trim.
Well put.
The Bat It's true, but even then, this interior is actually very nice. Compare this with the Toyota 86. Cloth seating there, a pretty crap steering wheel and just as many hard plastics. The 86 costs more. People are spoiled -- I'm a big fan of this interior.
Took one for a test drive yesterday and it was quite fun to drive. Lots of torque for passing and it like sto rev. Great review.
Really enjoyed the in depth video! Hopefully you'll get to drive one soon so we can get your thoughts on driving dynamics.
I seriously can't wait to be able to finally purchase or even lease this car!!!
the raspy sound is amazing
I actually have this vehicle now, but standard transmission. I have no complaint about the interior. Its because this vehicle is meant as a sport so the interior will be more SPORTY with less colors. i have both 2016 sport and this 2017 sport. I love this 2017 sport more because its faster, better shifting, rides smooth, and interior has a luxurious look.
How has the car been for daily use and reliability?
I love that exhaust, anyone else?
Xavier Urbina I feel the same! Very happy because it seems Hyundai is going to make real sports cars in the near future. Judging by this car it looks like they are going to be good as well!
Xavier Urbina It's not loud enough to hear it inside and let's face it... 4 cylinder exhausts are for pussies... So I'm glad it is quiet
For a four cylinder it has a good note.
Elantra GT :D
Well done Hyundai, great car, and great review!
you have really improved as a reviewer. Good job!
I currently have 3 Hyundai Sonatas. 1- 2014 and 2- 2015s, (1 SE and 1 Sport). I have owned 7 Hyundais total, including a 2013 Elantra and a 2007 Santa Fe.. I am very sold on them. I only lease now, and my 14 is in the 4th year of a 4 year lease. I would never have considered another Elantra, until I heard about the sport. I always thought they should have a more powerful model available. Unfortunately, my dealer doesn't have any in yet. I need to drive the stick and the automatic. I am very anxious to try them.
Bill Treadwell you definitely should test drive them. The automatic is not a standard one. It is a 7 speed dual clutch auto. Much more direct than a typical auto, and much less power loss compared with a standard torque converter type auto. All of the other reviews I've watched said the dual clutch auto was smooth, quick shifting and responsive. Seems like Hyundai nailed with this iteration of the Elantra.
Yung Padawan Got to drive one, it was an automatic. Very pleased with the power
Already decided that is my next car. I do want the package
Bill Treadwell people who have 2 or 3 models of the same car are the lamest people alive like what's the point?
Great Review! I'm interested to see how much more the Elantra GT costs...I prefer hatches over sedans
Elantra gt prices is cheaper than the elantra sport and elantra.
Reason why is because its a touring design, and also Hyundai is not changing their design on the elantra gt. Until 2018..
But i still prefers the elantra gt.
Looks sport and cargo is the top of the line..!
This is a beautiful car, well designed well made and a great looking interior for mature drivers, the colors on the inside are perfectly chosen/ note to HYUNDAI>DON'T SCREW CHANGING COLORS AND SO MUCH OF THE RED STUFF. I am considering a sport package!
i know im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Juelz Marco instablaster ;)
@Micah Maxton thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Micah Maxton It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Juelz Marco No problem =)
with that side skirt, looks real sporty.
a lot of improvement for elentra.
I was at the store in sunrise, fl and as I'm coming out I see a sonata hybrid from humble Hyundai and I was so excited. I couldn't believe it. I was jumping up and down lol
I'd prefer power seats because my wife and I swap cars 2 to 3 times a week. Hopefully they can add this trim level to the Tucson. It's no GTI, but it's so much more affordable!
Thanks for the great review. This has been a great shopping aid.
I LOVE MY ELANTRA SPORT!!!
great job as always Bobby! keep up the great work!
wish they made rear diffuser a bit sharper and not so plastic feel still a new car
Excellent review. The only thing you missed was the enlarged rotor's on the front wheels on the sport.
I am really considering buying/leasing this and getting rid of my POS Chevy Cruze. The things I don't like about the Elantra sport are the lack of a power driver's seat, no memory seats, plastic on the back of the seats with no leather map holders on both sides, and no heated steering wheel.
Any plans to do a driving impressions video? Does the Velostor Turbo have IRS or still an axle bar the same as the normal Velostor. Great video BTW - I like to see in-depth on the interior....
I do plan to do one, but that will come a bit later. The Veloster (Turbo or not) doesnt come with IRS, just a huge axle beam as before
GrandPrixGTP02 the new veloster will have IRS
Blind spot monitoring is not standard btw. This car is the first car I've driven in a while that deserves the sport badge.
Jon Johnson yes, the 2017 SPORT model did not come with it standard, but the 2018 SPORT does come with it standard, as well as sunroof, optional on 2017, standard on 2018
Awesome video, but I'm not sure if you were correct when you said this is the first elantra to be offered fully loaded with a manual. If you were referring to sedans only, then you very well may be correct. Only reason I mention this is because I have a 2014 elantra gt fully loaded with a manual. From what I understand, they are pretty hard to come by. I figured I would mention that. Other than that, excellent video! I really appreciate how in depth you went with this video. Have you gotten a chance to drive the manual version?
I said that this was the first Elantra of THIS generation that offers a manual standard when fully loaded. Otherwise you'd have to get an SE Base in order to get the 6-speed standard, but yes, being that I work for Hyundai, I am well aware that this isn't the first loaded Elantra to have a manual as standard. I have gotten to drive the manual version and its VERY responsive...but I'm not a fan of the half-rubbery throws/ feel of the shifter. Other than that, both version are awesome!
Oh my mistake, I must have missed that!! I wasn't aware that you worked for Hyundai.. Forgive me if that's common knowledge on your channel, I'm new here! Anyways, thanks for your reply :) you just got yourself a new sub! and I've been itching to get behind the wheel of one of the new sport models, but my local dealer doesn't carry them yet.. Hopefully this summer I'll get a chance!
It's all good. I'm not being mister know-it-all here :3
Welcome to the channel and thanks for stopping by and subscribing!
I love this car , thanks for this video :-)
The fact the dual clutch shudders on take off is no big deal. I've seen reviews of Aston Martins, Lambos, and more affordable dual clutches that do the same on take off, or even ones that take off jerky, or even spins the tires because its kinda, "all or nothing". That's the price you pay to have more direct feeling transmissions with the convenience of an auto. I'd say Porsche may be the only company who has mastered those transmissions. I really like was Hyundai has done with the Elantra Sport.
Yung Padawan It is really annoying in my opinion. I've driven automatics my whole life and they are usually pretty smooth... Oh well, I still LOVE the cars dynamics and what it has to offer and I'll be leasing one shortly.
My GLI i had did the same thing
hows your dealership looking like now bro? liquidation sale coming soon !? :)
i like your video so much .. it has so many details ...thank you
Is Hyundai going to add four wheel drive? that would be a great option; GO ELANTRA' KEEP THESE NICE CARS ROLLING!!!!
The hatchback version that was just unveiled is 100 times better. Inside and out.
Jake Martin Hatchback? We aren't in the 90s anymore😂
Jake Martin agreed. I have a 2014 elantra gt and I've always liked it more than the sedan. And the 2018 looks so amazing. Hopefully the gt sport model comes with a manual
UnitedRecording that made absolutely no sense. What do hatchbacks have to do with the 90s? Please explain cause I had no feeling of laughter reading your comment.
@@UnitedRecording i agree. I feel like hatchbacks are for high school kids or something lol
great review mate
Maybe you could help me out. All new Elantra Sports that I have found at multiple different dealerships online are stating 7 “ lcd screen and 6 speakers. On Hyundai websites it says 8” and 6 infinity speakers plus center and sub. Is this common advertising error?
One thing, that all cars should have if they have a screen is nav. Charging crazy money for for nav is bull crap. you can get a tom tom or whatever for peanuts now.
Do you know when they are releasing the elantra sports with the red leather interiors?
Too bad this isn't yet in Europe :/ Awesome car
I have my 2004 Elantra still runs perfect
I picked up a black one last week. The car drives and takes corners spectacularly. Do yourself a favor and skip the automatic, go for the 6 speed manual.
I actually got one in Electric Blue, but I went for the automatic bc I live in an area with very heavy traffic. I've driven the manual and believe it or not, I actually dont like it too much. Hyundai didnt throw the B&M Racing Short Throw Shifter in the mix from the Veloster R-Spec, and that makes the shifts a lot more rubbery IMO.
Love your videos! For your elantra, did you use boostup by chance?
jsperan49
No.
Omg.... where was this when I bought my 17 Elantra?!
Depending on when you bought it, probably not even out yet
exactly what im thinking... damnit!!!
1) You can't wait to buy a new car based on rumors.
2) This car was not officially unveiled until just recently, and if you're anything like me - we got our Elantra way, way before this. We got one of the first ones they were selling.
no limited slip diff though. why cut corners? this makes me not want to buy it...
Yeah but how does it perform?
Does it have auto 3 lane blinker touch? Also, is glovebox lit up? thx I have an '07 limited maual and need itch to upgrade bad
DG yes has auto blinker one touch, and you can even go to the control settings and choose how many times it flashes
Beautiful car
Also has driver side knee airbag
how does it drive? geez
Jin Yang Decent. It grabs the road well and it is moderately quick, but not fast. The DCT does jerk slightly on takeoff. I have not driven the manual.
Still boring and lifeless as hell to drive.
What should my first car be? I have no knowledge of cars but my parents said I can get a 2017 corolla, civic, or elantra. ($22k and under cars)
Eco boost mustang
Used hellcat is perfect for you
I am the 2014 elantra limited owner and I want to tell every1 that don't buy hyundai. My car engine broke down at 131k km.And I did my oil change every 5k-6k km. I have all the records. I need to spend 7k+ to get replacement. this is my last hyundai car in my life. good luck every1
So this year they come with independent suspension , what about last years ?
The Elantra Sports all have IRS. Any other Elantra sedan still has the torsion beam susupension I beleive. I test drove the manual and ended up buying it and just waiting for it to arrive. Nice short throws and easy clutch engagement. The tires were very grippy and since i am in Canada, I awill be getting Toyo winter tires. The heated seats were great of course but the heated steering wheel was a great surprise. One other thing I like about Hyundai is they manufacture their own virgin steel for their cars.

vary vary reasonable price and good performance!!!!!
This is my next car or the G70
wow this is amazing
nice car! i love it!
Best cheap regular affordable all arounder.
عربية حلوة وعملية شكرآ لك على التوضيح والشرح 👍
the dailes are from volkswagen gti
Is this car suitable for taller people? like 6'2?
Mite Dimitrov 6”1 I fit comfortably and I’m 240 lbs 😅😅
I thinking about getting one of these anyone own one what do you love/hate?
Anthony Strunk yes! Bought mine about 6 weeks ago. Absolutely LOVE it! Only thinks I dont like are minor things, like no light in the glove box or center storage, only one seatback pocket (and its mesh netting material), trunk lighting not very bright, and could use a cover to hide/protect the backside of the bass speaker in the trunk.
I love the power, the handling, the ride, visibility, features, and value! A LOT to love about this car that vastly overpowers the minor dislikes
me personal I think they should of just leave as a 1.8 and make it turbo...
beautiful
Hi, I'm a microphone windscreen.
Have we met?
I actually have one...but it barely works on this camera apparently. I had it attached during this whole review!
Rob S Hi I'm Rob the Snob. Have we met?
It is not an auto. It is a DCT.
looks good
new model coming out this summer
I heard Audi designs hyundais? Is that true?
Juliet Kunai one of the designers works for Hyundai now yes.
Awesome car 🚗
At the end of the day it's still a Hyundai. Never realized how cheap they really were until I traded in my Veloster turbo for a Focus ST.
The inside of the door looks bad
Any turbo/sports car without a manual transmission is a complete waste of time.
I'm digging the steering wheel. Fuck!!!!!
Yeah !
guess I'll keep my veloster turbo afterall lol!
Wait a year and the price will drop to 14k
Daniel Rojas hope so, i'll trade my '17 value edition for it lol
Daniel Rojas Yee that true , they wanted to sell me the base model Elantra for 20k last year and now you see them on Craigslist for 12-15k . The Dodge dart is also going cheap
It has been 1 year, and you can't touch a used one for less than 17k, definitely has held up in value pretty well.
I myself drive a 2016 Honda Civic touring, and comparing them the civic is more bang for your money
oscar mora No it’s not I’ve owned both.
The amber turn signals on the back ruins the whole car
Well.. it's a law in the US so..
99CCFF 756e6b6e6f776e65786961 647072746c646b in the us they can be red, just like the regular elantra is
Oh I think I misread it. I thought he was talking about headlights...
99CCFF 756e6b6e6f776e65786961 647072746c646b yeah you're right about the front ones
99CCFF 756e6b6e6f776e65786961 647072746c646b not really. As long as it emits an amber light it is up to dot standards. They could have gotten away with using a clear housing and an amber bulb.
This is and would always be a stupid buy at that price tag new. When you can buy used better quality cars with much more power with low mileage. 26k wow. A used 2015 Hyundai genesis would be a much better in that same price range.
price?
I mentioned it in the video:
$21.6K (US) - Sport M/T
$22,750 (US) - Sport DCT
it is $24,000 maximum
hyeong jae lee In the United States, the fully loaded model is $27,140
hyeong jae lee in malaysia its about 147k....
Saw automatic on a sport and had to click away
Go Texans!!!
GO CHECK MY 2018 Elantra sport. I just got a muffler delete
nice
I guarantee if you want the max boost our of your Elantra you will definitely want to have this ST9PRO module from a company called sawyer tuning:
www.sawyertuning.com/?s=elantra
It IMMEDIATELY gave my Elantra a power boost!
man that car is so sexy!
Bundan neden türkiyede yok
