Hyundai have launched the Elantra in the US with lots of technologies packed into the car compared to its Indian counterpart. such as Lane Keep Assist, Smart Cruise Control and Lane Change Assist. Now I know that demanding for such features in the India spec version would seem really naive and stupid considering the road infrastructure here and the way we Indians drive. But some basic tech such as Blind Spot Assist or Tyre Pressure Monitoring System would have been much appreciated.
The auto boot release when you stand next to the boot will not work if the car is not locked and that too it will only work after the car has been locked for about 30 seconds. In the video, the car is clearly not locked as the front map lights are switched on. In the elantra, all the map lights irrespective of having been switched on manually or not is switched off once you lock the car. So obviously the boot release function won't work :) @AutocarIndia
Bhai 1.4 crdi engine is enough to glide through city signals and 1.6 is more than enough, you won't even use the whole 1.6 crdi in India lol, 1.8 me gaade udaoge kya?
Although resembles cars of other manufacturers in certain aspects ( mainly due to the designer being an ex of a luxury car manufacturer ), i really feel the car looks stunning and seems built to a cost.Glad that hyundai is improving upon the dynamics.
Hello Autocar India Staff, This is a nice review and good production, overall. I will recommend this channel to my colleagues. Respectfully, BBoucharde, USA
I love my 2014 Elantra but two things that absolutely suck - 1) the lights for driving at night are just not powerful enough. Even my rapid has better light options 2) the stereo system is so bad. Terrible is the word. And 1993 graphics too. Rest it's great great especially for highway driving
I like the way Renuka shows us the auto boot feature is not upto the mark. Well elantra looks good but as always reliability of suspensions and overall car post 40k kms is a concern for Hyundai. Toyota is no doubt the more stable and strong car. I was wondering when will we get to see the all new Pajero Sport and Fortuner reviews?
I would say she is doing a fine job as per the Autocar standards. Its just that India automobile sector is not exciting enough to showcase any more like it was in olden days. We are just getting cars here which are similar looking to previous models and nothing exciting comes up. The only thing which goes up is the price of the next model including the ever growing taxes.
Other manufacturers may build superior cars but people buy what they buy ...it does not matter that the ubik uno or one plus 3 are much more efficient people will still buy iphones.
+Raghav Sehgal yeah agree! I wish they copy seats too from the German trio because the seats in the Creta are horrible. They are so horrible that it became a deal breaker for me. Btw earlier i was pessimist of Hyundai. Then Creta came. Then the seats. Damn!
companies don't prefer to do that for normal sedans... tire rotation could be done only between right and left, front and back independently...that really increases the price when you look at cost of ownership later. I only remember the recent corvette doing it. It looks cool though :)
Yet another awesome review. I have a small request though.Can you guys make a comparasion video between this elantra and Toyota corolla altis 2014? I am badly waiting to see that.
+Hanu Trivedi I agree Hondas are amazing. They are generally looked down on in other countries. But for us it is definitely a great car to buy from the available ones.
In look wise new upcomming honda civic is good as compare to hyundai elantra...and interior is also good of honda civic....honda should put price compare to hyundai elantra...
Earlier Elantra FLUIDIC Design was THE BEST even from other Brands & segments , In name of 2.0 you score 0.0 NO NO Actually -ve ( NEGATIVE ) as these 2.0 doesn't even hold candle to its Predecessor ( Well Actually LEGEND ) It's COMEBACK is AWAITED ( DO AT LEAST IN INDIA) * CHANGE IS GOOD ( BUT WHEN ITS GOOD ) * It would be wise if under its Earlier SKIN - NU 2.0 ltr engine compromises with Sunroof + 8" touchscreen + Driving Mode with previous interior . All I want to say is - "We won't SHAKE HAND with these Fluidic 2.0" 😏
An executive sedan, and the diesel version still cant match the Cruze's engine which is disputably termed as "The Diesel Rocket." I think Hyundai should up the power for their diesel engines, I mean they continue using their same engine from Verna and up their product range. C'mon Hyundai enough of economy of scale!

Rahul Raj The more features they add more the amount of taxes imposed on the car.
They could've done if they wanted but India hasn't allowed radar technology in passenger cars
Hyundai may have copied other car's design but still it looks much better than any other sedan in its segment.
Shahrukh Khan Actually Hyundai roped in Audi's chief designer.
grill-- audi a4
lights-- jaguar xE
shape-- bmw 3 GT
Awesome observation ever.....
+Tanmay Deshpande ty bro
So wt overall good
Shravan Pammi its just like getting a chinese iphone
Arjun Dhir I have the and even I've noticed

Hyundai is much more premium than cheap suzuki

Right bro
Best Automobile Reviewer in the country....Keep up the good work!
Great review Team Autocar. Eleantra 2017 looks really stunning !
Petrol 2.0👍🏻 Diesel 1.6 👎🏻.., wish for bigger Diesel probably 1.8 or 2.0
Bhai 1.4 crdi engine is enough to glide through city signals and 1.6 is more than enough, you won't even use the whole 1.6 crdi in India lol, 1.8 me gaade udaoge kya?
I miss this lady's reviews.maam were are you?? Her reviews have always been very accurate and so well detailed. Great anchor
this car is simply gorgeous. Hyundai surely knows how to make beautiful cars !
Not anymore ☹
I like this Elantra I seen these on the road all the time,and I checked one out at Duval Honada.
elantra is beautiful
Although resembles cars of other manufacturers in certain aspects ( mainly due to the designer being an ex of a luxury car manufacturer ), i really feel the car looks stunning and seems built to a cost.Glad that hyundai is improving upon the dynamics.
Does this car comes with white (cream) leather color interiror?? Especially in a case when the car is black from outside!!
Yay!! Finally! I use to check twice eveyday for this. What took you so long Renuka?
2:50, did not open...
the prices are to be revised in December ? Is that an increase or decrease in the price ?
Blue elantra looks dope
Headlights looks like a Maserati
Which should I buy new elantra or new civic or new cruze
I want this car back
I drive this elantra in dubai its really awesome function feels luxury
Looks and size of the car is good. Specially the front side is good looking.
design creativity is at an all time low in todays time ... almost all cars looks similar ... just a badge difference ...
*look
Crash regulations plus CAFE?
Just wait for the new civic buddy. U will see the change for sure.
Whether new generation Civic is launched in India?
legends say,
if you're early, Autocar will reply😏
I think its the best looking hyundai's car till date.
Hello Autocar India Staff,
This is a nice review and good production, overall. I will recommend this channel to my colleagues.
Respectfully,
BBoucharde, USA
Please autocar reply is the elantra 6th generation launched in banglore I want to own it is the production started please reply
You should step away from the boot to open automatically :)
how do you think they design there cars take some from audi same for creta almost like q3.
I love my 2014 Elantra but two things that absolutely suck - 1) the lights for driving at night are just not powerful enough. Even my rapid has better light options 2) the stereo system is so bad. Terrible is the word. And 1993 graphics too.
Rest it's great great especially for highway driving
Why there is a huge price difference of price of cars in India and usa?
Harmesh Kaushal tax (coz gov is hungry they need cash for breakfast,lunch n dinner).

friend owns elantra of 5th generation and it is going nice even afyer 70K

where was last portion of the video taken ?
its almost near beach
which place in ecr?
shot on a weekday in ECR?
Do make a video on Hyundai elantra vs Toyota camry.
The blue colour looks really good irl
The grill looks like that Audi A4
Designed by the man who designed aston martin dbs
that's what happen when ex-audi designers join hyundai.
renuka madam performs as usual grt... especially that boot opening...1,2,3...
which car offers memory seats in this segment ?
Which is better car between elentra and verana.
plz do a review of Corolla Altis 2017...
great review as always by Renuka......Visit Hyundai had offered automatic as an option from the Base model onwards.
Is it good if we go to Elantra from Verna
Why was the boot not opening automatically?
hate hyundai as much u want but they do make amazing looking cars
Mir Faizan because they copy German cars which are the best
how about the fuel efficiency??
Used as a Taxi here in KSA.
dont bark from where you went to beg
Yes , i have been in such Elantra taxi 👍
Pagan Min dude mercedez cla's are used as taxis in germeny and england
In India Audi's are used as Taxi
ALLAXCED THE AVIATOR AVIA 4TH OR no the e class is
Does it have seat reclining ?
performance must matter... hyundai needs to update elantra by providing 2.0 (same as tucson) engine in elantra to incline their sale of elantra
She's explanation is superb
people will buy the toyata carolla instead of this no matter how feature rich it is.
or the civic.
i would not
Corolla
Other manufacturers may build superior cars but people buy what they buy ...it does not matter that the ubik uno or one plus 3 are much more efficient people will still buy iphones.
+Jaisi Karni Vaisi Bharni ikr
Looks inspired from the upcoming Audi a6
headlights remind me of the Jaguar as well.
+Raghav Sehgal yeah agree! I wish they copy seats too from the German trio because the seats in the Creta are horrible. They are so horrible that it became a deal breaker for me. Btw earlier i was pessimist of Hyundai. Then Creta came. Then the seats. Damn!
will this car is better than ciaz
Guys I won't change my car from verna to Elantra or xuv500 which one will be a good option
Honda will launch civic soon will it have a small chance against the mighty civic 2016
plz
make review on Harley Davidson iron883
this car is in 20 lac range not 15 lac
which road was that?
Is it Elantra 2017 model?
which road is this ?
Y don't they increase the wheelbase? They should keep 19 inch rear and 18 at front
companies don't prefer to do that for normal sedans... tire rotation could be done only between right and left, front and back independently...that really increases the price when you look at cost of ownership later. I only remember the recent corvette doing it. It looks cool though :)
What's the point in doing that?
Whats the on road price for it
The headlamps are a carbon copy from a Maserati. I cant remember which exact car, but it is.
Does ventilated seats comes only in automatic ???
dhiraj jha Yep, sadly.
dhiraj jha The Verna petrol manual does get it, though! #messedup
Great german car under korean badging
And nice review
Can anyone suggest me good drls with projector lamps for my Honda city (latest generation)...
Please?
The boot will open automatically only when enabled
I didn't like the steering wheel...it's similar to what we see in almost every Hyundai in India.
Create video on Ford endeavor.
Yet another awesome review.
I have a small request though.Can you guys make a comparasion video between this elantra and Toyota corolla altis 2014?
I am badly waiting to see that.
From front it's totally like Audi A4
when gonna Honda civic 2016 gonna launch. .it's already making news in other countries !!
ikr. such a great car. Also a few years later it will be a good first car for young enthusiasts
+Hanu Trivedi I agree Hondas are amazing. They are generally looked down on in other countries. But for us it is definitely a great car to buy from the available ones.
why does the new Elantra looks like a Jaguar XE with a Audi grille.Hyundai copies a lot
the now elantra looks like a lot of cars. it kinda weird
+Zain Z new*
with bmw tail and camaro taillamps
Lol . Its like they crashed all those cars an then took the parts which survived.
Especially the DRL !!
Why can't you guys mention the actual mileage? what the company claims we can see on their website, we need real world figures.
Listen in that car distance to empty was 537km and it was full tank and fuel tank capacity of Elantra is 50L so it’s app 10km/l
car has improved
Compare it with skoda octavia
fuel efficiency please
One should buy elantra petrol or diesel?
Kerosene
Sudheesh P diesel
In look wise new upcomming honda civic is good as compare to hyundai elantra...and interior is also good of honda civic....honda should put price compare to hyundai elantra...
civic base will start at elantras top end model's price.
very good car love it
Is it worth buying Hyundai Elantra over the new Toyota Corolla 2016??
Wait for civic, New Jetta
make a perfect review of Ford mustang GT
near about 7.10, mileage 8.9kmpl
headlights are really good try to copy the Jaguar j blade lights

Cycle 🚴 is perfect for u... All open..
boot didn't open eh ?
very very Nice CAR
No sunroof??
Looks great!
Chennai????? Where in chennai? Hit like if ur from chennai!
Earlier Elantra FLUIDIC Design was THE BEST even from other Brands & segments ,
In name of 2.0 you score 0.0 NO NO Actually -ve ( NEGATIVE ) as these 2.0 doesn't even hold candle to its Predecessor ( Well Actually LEGEND )
It's COMEBACK is AWAITED ( DO AT LEAST IN INDIA)
* CHANGE IS GOOD ( BUT WHEN ITS GOOD ) *
It would be wise if under its Earlier SKIN - NU 2.0 ltr engine compromises with Sunroof + 8" touchscreen + Driving Mode with previous interior .
All I want to say is - "We won't SHAKE HAND with these Fluidic 2.0" 😏
Hit like for full fuel tank😂❣
price
why is it only 1080?
mines 6k tho
Where is the sun roof ?
:P
The automatic has it along with ventilated seats...
An executive sedan, and the diesel version still cant match the Cruze's engine which is disputably termed as "The Diesel Rocket." I think Hyundai should up the power for their diesel engines, I mean they continue using their same engine from Verna and up their product range. C'mon Hyundai enough of economy of scale!
This is best buy
if we need a laxury car best option is VW jetta
or need a longlast&low maintenance car can be choose Toyota Corolla.
dnt by the the elantra for 20Lak.
