Great review.

The Blue has everything you Need. If you want to upscale from the Blue, you don't Need a Limited, you should be looking at a SONATA!

Excellent review.

Thank you!

Great review. I have a 24' Kona Limited that got the wireless Android Auto update... it would be surprising if that update was not across all the models using the same clusters/infotainment. 🤔 Hyundai's pricing for Standard/Limited upgrades is well calculated. Blue is better as a PHEV, while the Limited is slightly worse as a PHEV but much more premium. I heard the Blue can get up to 60 sustained highway. I will always get Limited trims for Hyundai, because I love the tech.

Thank you! I agree that Hyundai seems to price the trims pretty well in comparison to certain other manufacturers. This is one of the comparisons were I feel confident recommending the Limited over the Blue for the price differential.

I own the 2023 Elantra limited hybrid. I was going to trade in my car for the 2024 Elantra limited hybrid for three simple reasons. Blind spot turn signal, rear air conditioner vents and the new front fascia. Now that I know that there are only two of the three options that I did not get would you trade for the 24 model?

No, the changes aren’t worth it if you already own a 2023. Stick with it for a future update. For example Canada got heated steering wheel and 360 degree camera. Those should show up in future US models

I would keep your 2023 model. I was expecting the 360 camera system on the 2024 Hybrid Limited but was shocked they didn't carry it over from the gas model. That isn't like Hyundai but it could be a production constraint where they are built.

You might want to doublecheck on the rear air vents. I dont know where you live, but if youre in the US market none of the Elantra's come with rear air vents. although the korean spec model does offer them and you can buy conversion kits to make the US model do it, but off the dealer lot it is not offered.

same. I have 2023 elantra hybrid limited too. I was hesitating just same as you for new tech on 2024 elantra or sonata hybrid ,but I decide to wait for next new generation since there has to be more tech add to it.

Why not a Sonata?

I love my 2024 Blue trim. I wish the light bar continued across the entire front like the new Sonata, and my other wish would be the Blue got the adaptive cruise control. Otherwise I can happily live without all the limited trim options in favor of the higher MPG you get with the Blue. Speaking of that MPG... my experience with the car is the EPA ratings are way off. Mine says 51 city / 58 highway. I see the opposite. Mine averages more like 60 city / 50 highway. Great review but one correction to your video. You mentioned the LED lit strip on the decklid... My Blue trim model did come with that. If the marker lights are on itll have the entire rear LED "H" lit up, and the two LED lights at the top of the headlight housings as well.

You're right on the lights. I didn't notice it but just checked and it does have them on the car.

yea. Elantra hybrid totally win Prius in term of MPG while on freeway, but Prius will win elantra hybrid while on city driving. I was comparing both cars since my friend has 2023 Prius while I am driving 2023 elantra hybrid. Think my best record while driving on freeway for 50 miles is 69MPG. I have totally different experience with you maybe because I am living in busy LA which has alot of traffic lights.

@@wulongchai yea thats probably why. I live in Arizona so my highway driving is alot of elevation changes and the hyundai has to run the gas motor alot to keep at the 75mph speedlimit. In the city though I dont have anywhere near the congestion and stoplights that you have, so im able to cruise at 35mph city speeds on mainly EV power. either way i think the cars MPG is very impressive. I wanted the Sonata hybrid but there is no telling when Hyundai is going to release it.

They made the facelift ugly
