2019 Hyundai Veloster N - Korea's True Hot Hatch Has Arrived!

[@mugensamurai]

I havn't seen this guy get so emotionally happy about a car in a while. Great job Hyundai.

[@BoopSnoot]

Wonder if he's driven a challenger scat pack. granted they are more expensive, but you can get a very low mile one for the same price as the hyundai. With the stick shift, it should be even more responsive, even faster in a straight line at least, more comfortable with a nicer interior, and much roomier.

DumbDuck44 dumbass one is a little Korean hatchback and is geared to a different audience

[@bunktk]

Hello guys. I am the owner of Veloster N living in S. Korea. I bought the car 3 months ago. You might wonder how good this car is. I must tell you... imagine. Whatever you expect, it will be better than that. I have experienced several pocket rockets and 2 liter performance cars. Nothing is in tie with V-N. Before I owned this car, frankly speaking, I had blamed Hyndai Motors a lot because of quality problems. Yes I live in Korea where HMC mainly targets, you know that. Except some minor issues like other Japanese motors, V-N will be an absolute game changer. I hope american buddies will enjoy this car like me. It is really nice.

[@희연-g9u]

With the upcoming DCT I will definitely getting it due to insane traffic in LA area.

Just an FYI, but you are wrong about the differential in the performance package car. It is a true mechanical limited slip differential that incorporates an electronically controlled vacuum pump that's able to vary the pressure to change the lock-up bias on the fly. It is not the same as a regular "e-diff" that just mimics a real differential like the focus ST.

[@michaeldeadwyler4034]

If you want Hyundai to keep making great performance cars for the states people must buy them straight off the dealership. I'm not talking about used old ones, I'm talking about fresh 2018-2019 models of the N. The more successful sales will help Hyundai see that there is a market for performance hatches.

Car is insane value for money, near civic si pricing for significantly more Power and a far better exhaust note. Very glad to see Hyundai releasing cars like this. I'm sure it will sell better when it's done to the kona or other suvs( as much as I hate to say it) can't wait to see the 8 speed dct next year.

[@HeyItzJD]

Not sure that $4000-5000 more is "near Civic Si" pricing but I'd say it's right in the middle between an Si and Type R price. It's closer to a Golf GTI in price. Honestly If I were looking at a Golf GTI or Focus ST (while you can still get those), I'd seriously consider the Veloster N first.

[@YasumotoUS]

To add on to this... closer to a GTI SE which has the up-rated brakes, LED headlights, electronic front diff and nicer radio head unit (not the Fender system, though) and comes in around at a $28k street price. I suspect that an APR tune would have to be applied to the GTI to put it into the performance league of the Veloster N. @JD Vien, The Si is a ~$25k sedan, fyi.

If they brought that 4 door fastback N too the US it would give competition to the regular civic.

We also get all the driver aids as standard (AEB, LKA, Adaptive Cruise control, parking sensors, reverse cam) … which is a good thing for your inssurance premium. Other than that, the Veloster seems to be identical to the i30 N and all I can say is it is a brilliantly good car for people that take on mountainroads regularly.

Type R is superior in almost anyway, and the gap is only about $5k. if your dealer charges $5k-$15k more over MSRP is because it sells. for starters, the civic is bigger, has better seats, great front breaks, has more hp, MUCH MUCH better resale value...i mean, the veloster looks like a decent hot hatch, but some people like to go wild and say it's better than the Type R, the golf R, etc. like... shit, most people will never drive any of those fucking cars anyway

[@wolvesdengaming4844]

john smith no one said anything about hp these cars have been tested together look it up .2 seconds difference in the quarter and the veloster did very well on the track against it as well smfh do a little research and they are Hyundai guaranteed they will be selling at Msrp or lower

[@disco.lemonade]

​@@wolvesdengaming4844are u for real now? but hey, don't sweet it... this car will kill Type R's Nürburgring record soon. right?

[@andrewstar6115]

I had the VelosterTurbo 1.6and I loved it but I dreamt of a 2.0 . Now it's here! I cannot believe it. I'm getting this.

Very good video, an excellent entry into this segment. Way to go Hyundai!!

[@MikeDrives]

I wish the i30 N was available in the US market!

[@alexander18ism]

I wish the Veloster N was available in the German market!

[@MikeDrives]

I'll buy the Veloster N, and you buy the i30 N. Then lets trade haha!

[@alexander18ism]

@@MikeDrives DEAL!

[@SushiParty]

The Velostar N is looking wicked and really brings some competition to the Focus/Civic/Golf but to be honest, I wish they had brought the i30N/Elantra GT N to NA. Some of us want all the N stuff but with a little more practicality.

[@ericmichel3857]

Even if there was no cost difference I would take this over the Type R any day of the week. The fact that it is going to be much cheaper and doesn't look ridiculous, well, what more needs to be said. Hat's off to Hyundai! And Honda, pay attention this is what you were supposed to do and really missed the mark. This segment is supposed to be fun, affordable, practical, and reliable. Honda missed big time on the looks and affordability just to be a bit faster in this segment, and from what I have been seeing the reliability is not looking so great. Let's face it, for the same money I could go get a Camaro SS 1LE or a Mustang GT with PP2 and both of those cars are so far beyond the performance of the type R it would be embarrassing. So if you are driving around in a type R thinking you are in some ultimate performance machine, uh nope, not even close. So when you really look at why this segment exists the Hyundai gets it way better than Honda.

[@forevertall]

What I love about Hyundai and Kia is that they don't HIDE that they are cutting costs to bring you an affordable but FUN car. You can clearly see where they cut costs.. HOWEVER, it's still good!

[@johnnytanman6097]

I’m getting this lol I have a 2016 veloster time to upgrade

[@diegoszn6]

Johnathan Gutierrez LITERALLY SAME i have a 16 VT i sat in the N at the NY auto show and i didnt wanna get out. I know you would feel the same 😭😭

I think it's perfect. I love cloth, I really love hard plastic, as it easy to clean and keeps it affordable. And holy shit that gorgeous ROUND steering wheel and transmission look great. I'm absolutely set on buying this car.

[@PaulyGuy1]

Honda Fit should be made like this

[@austinlewis5504]

They really need to add a 1.5T as standard in the Fit. Subcompact cars should start become a lot faster these days.

[@alansmilealot]

@@austinlewis5504 I rather see a fit since, n/a high revving light weight beast. Honda should keep that forumula at least on the fit

[@stevencorbo1220]

For you Sonata enthusiasts the great thing about this is because the I30 N came out there is now old types of performance parts that will become available for the 2.0 and 2.4 engine as the N has the same engine. Just its tuned better.

[@michelebicc6983]

Why don't you get the i30N in the US? (Elantra hatch)

[@HelloWorld-uw5wj]

Smaller hatchback cars in general aren't as popular in the US

[@nfscamilo4]

The Elantra GT (Hatchback) is available in the USA. Just no N version. The only N model is the Veloster for now.

[@rottree]

It is only for Europe market. Even in South Korea, we can't buy it. I don't know why..I think I30N is way better than that one. Better design, and it has typical 4 door..

[@dkeightsix1871]

US market didn't buy enough Elantra GT here in the states but the Veloster sold like bunnys making babies.. so we have the Veloster N LOL

[@Saltinator]

Ugh, my God 🤦🏼‍♂️ i30n was ment for European market ONLY. Veloster n is American market ONLY

[@MrBeana7]

Omg this was filmed in my hometown lol Great review as always and this car sounds fantastic and what a bargain

[@stevencorbo1220]

Would be nice to see a Sonata N

[@theKevronHarris]

I agree! It would also be nice if there's a Elantra N, Accent N, Tucson N, and probably Santa Fe N--a competitor to the Ford Edge ST. 😃😃😃

[@cocolopz1]

Good job Hyundai. This new gen veloster looks way better than the previous one.

[@cindysue5474]

Well the dealer called me said they would be here in a few days.The bad news they are only shipping 400 to the US and it will be around 34 too 35 thousand he said they don't want to out sell the regular Veloster. Well Ill wait till 2020 and see when the bugs are worked out but he said a new gen coupe is on the way 2020 2021 but don't know the style yet. My dealer in Phoenix Arizona is only getting one in the state so far. My Gencoupe runs fine so I can wait.

[@babisotonggg]

next year even better performance came out for Veloster and i30N as the DCT is coming out

[@cindysue5474]

What is the DCT?

[@babisotonggg]

@@cindysue5474 dual clutch transmission aka automatic

[@cindysue5474]

Dont it already have a twin disc clutch in this car? I still like to shift a manual.

[@babisotonggg]

A dual-clutch transmission (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission or double-clutch transmission) is a type of automatic transmission or automated automotive transmission. It uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets.

[@ThatGenericCanadian]

Hyundai has seriously stepped their game up. I'd be completely considering this if I was in the market for a hot-hatch, and until the STI comes out with a new hatchback this would probably be my choice.

[@nartin86]

Only idiots would buy a 35k GTI these days after seeing this car.

[@Nikefreshman]

TDN This isn’t by all means the best all around car. The interior isn’t as premium as some of the other competitors. And lacks some modern technological assistance systems. No doubt the value for the Horse power is great but take the other factors into consideration. Especially when reviewing other vehicles in this class.

[@ashs3380]

@@Nikefreshman I prefer low tech, I hate driver assistance BS. This is great. May differ based on the person. I can see where you're coming from tho.

[@6lemans10]

Dont forget tunability. The GTI is one ECU reflash away from greatness.😀

[@jasonschwartz8507]

No one pays $35k for a GTI....2018 new GTI goes for under $20k

[@aaron5222]

the tech and interior materials are worth the extra money. Then add in a 250$ for a intake and $400 for a down Pipe and 500 for a tune and you have 320 wheel hp. The extra 200$ a month is worth not feeling like I'm driving a shit box.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I think this Veloster N just looks beautiful~ Hyundai did a great job of bringing Albert Biermann from BMW's M division to tune and design this car. I mean 18 years from BMW's M division, you know your new hot hatch and/or performance car will be just amazing.
