Hyundai Elantra 2024
24 July 2025
We chose the 2024 Elantra Style (2.0L, 150 hp, automatic) for family use and trips to our country house. Getting into the cabin is easy — two kids in their seats have no complaints, and the trunk holds everything we need and more. The LED headlights are excellent, lighting up the road like daylight even in total darkness. So far, maintenance has been just routine oil and filter changes. However, the suspension is fairly stiff: on country roads, you feel every bump. After 100 km/h, the engine starts to hesitate, and overtakes require patience. In winter, at −5°C, the glovebox plastic creaks, which is irritating. Overall, it inspires confidence both in the city and on the highway, but a few aspects could use refinement.

In March, I bought a 2024 Elantra Comfort straight from the dealership. I mainly drive in the city, occasionally visiting relatives 100 km away. The exterior is impressive, especially the headlights and large front grille — they really catch people’s attention. Fuel consumption shows around 7.8 L/100 km in traffic and 5.5–6 L/100 km on the highway. The Android Auto multimedia responds instantly, and the interface is intuitive. However, there are some downsides: at speeds over 110 km/h, constant tire and wind noise becomes tiring on trips longer than 200 km. The paint is delicate — two small stones have already left chips on the hood. The engine is lively up to 80 km/h, then struggles, making overtakes something you need to plan ahead. I’m considering a full soundproofing package to make long trips more comfortable.
