South Korea's latest hot hatch is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster N. Its potent 2.0L turbo packs up to 275 horsepower (base 250 HP) and 260 lb-ft of torque. The car has substantial features, especially with the performance package: electronically controlled suspension with various damping settings, an electronic limited slip differential, a variable induction system, performance summer tires developed specifically with Hyundai, and even an anti-lag system!
I drove the car on the wonderful roads of Germany, as well as on the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife. The car has an emphasis on affordable fun-to-drive, and performance allowing it to be track-ready from the factory. Currently, there is only one transmission available: a proper 6-speed manual gearbox with downshift rev-matching if you so choose to use it. The exhaust crackles with each shift as ignition timing is delayed, allowing a bit of fuel to enter the exhaust. Check out the video for full impressions!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Hope everyone's having a wonderful day, and thanks for tuning in! I quite enjoyed this little hot hatch, it's great fun! If anyone's interested in checking out my full lap around the Nürburgring, here's a link from my secondary channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWi9l4JrepKdn6c

[@S2kDude36]

Tell us how the Veloster N differes from the S2000 you own in how it drives, accelerates, and how the braking compares. Along with some positives/negatives, what's better, what's worse.

[@zxxyz]

I second the S2000 comparo request.

[@adrianswan3643]

I hope this car sells well so they can make more N cars. I want to see a N sonata

[@z33tanner]

Engineering Explained Your best review yet, i really enjoyed it.

[@noneya6334]

Engineering Explained - so, KIA or Hyundai bro? How bout Subaru ? Which of the three would you buy?

[@hyundai]

Thanks for your review of the Veloster N! We're glad to hear you enjoyed driving it around the track.

[@johnnygarza9045]

HyundaiUSA please please please bring the i30 N to the US. An Elantra GT N would be amazing.

[@WillOnParade]

HyundaiUSA here is an idea, bring the i30 fastback N to the US as a entry level Genesis model.

[@philamguambomb]

i30N fastback to the US please!! And I'm sold!!

[@DriveFast_FlyHigh]

Wow, Jason, you know you've made it to the big time when you have brands in your comments.

[@dlombana161]

Bring the i30N. We'd love to have one next to the Type R at home! Veloster...just doesn't look as good and a true 4 door design is just more practical.

[@ladiesman6fly]

I hate being a car guy because there are soo many vehicles I want at any given time

[@EngineeringExplained]

I hear ya haha

[@AS-oo4gv]

especially being a being a huge fan hatchbacks, theres so much to choose from

[@deshawn2326]

Ahmad Saleh More in Europe though. :/

[@TheLiamis]

Aaron Rael truly a curse m8.

[@TheLiamis]

Ahmad Saleh agreed. Hatches are where all the fun is at in motoring and there are just too many. I always say fun over all out performance personally.

[@TheJacobshapiro]

Hyundai and Kia are really stepping up their game these days. Cool stuff!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Yes indeed, I think bringing in Albert Biermann from BMW M to lead Hyundai's performance cars is really manifesting into some solid cars!

[@TheJacobshapiro]

Engineering Explained I think we’re in a golden age of Korean cars right now. Kia and Hyundai are hiring loads of BMW and Audi engineers to build up their reputation and we’re getting some great bang for the buck performance cars like this veloster and the stinger. Eventually they’ll go upmarket when they build up more of a reputation, but right now they’re putting out some stellar stuff for very competitive prices.

[@motorcityoctane6713]

TheJacobShapiro 100%. Not just performance but more aggressive looks too. Really like the new Veloster & Stinger

[@MarshalBeard]

TheJacobShapiro Don't forget about the new Genesis brand. The Hyundai Genesis was so successful and in my opinion revolutionized how people view Hyundai that they have their own luxury high end brand now, and they're very competitive with brands like the nicer Mercedes, Audi and BMWs. They've already gone upmarket and they're doing great. On a side note, I work at HCM (Honda's Canadian factory) and Hyundai's market share in Canada, U.S and Mexico are increasing about 25% the past 3 years while Honda is generally stagnant. That's really impressive.

[@TheSpiritOfTheWest]

meanwhile the Japanese are still scratching their heads and theres a new Yaris out. whatever happened to japanese sports cars. sigh

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Love the crackles and pops! I respect their thoughts on torque steer too, I agree that mild torque steer isn't really a bad thing. Better than numb steering. It's awesome that you got to experience the Nurburgring and the Autobahn too!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Ha, yeah the pops are good fun!

[@DawnDimension]

@matt maran motoring I hope you get your hands on one at some point

[@yourmanzach2307]

Matt Maran Motoring he beat you too it! I hope you're the first with pricing

[@slofobra4966]

Would that be the same 2.0 found in the Optimas?

[@oneof6billionpeople]

Veloster, Stinger..... respect. Someone told me that the Koreans snatched up the best engineers around the world during the Great Recession. I’m thinking these are the outcome.

[@TheNaresh308]

oneof6billionpeople Kia has some guy that used to work for Audi and completely changed their image. Although I still think Hyundai/Genesis is a lot better

[@626KiDD]

Havana SS Designer for Audi.

[@oneof6billionpeople]

LOL... Okay... yeah... you didn't know Ford SVT also helped out... J/K thanks for the correction

[@Maxfli82]

Let em loose hyundai and Kia!

[@Angryeddie14]

I can’t lie, I actually like this thing

[@EngineeringExplained]

Me too, it’s fun!

[@ricebox1178]

Korean car makers are really getting their craft together recently, aren't they?

[@daten__]

They have made a lot of cool cars.

[@AutoAddictionMedia]

Welcome to the Nürburgring Jason! The Hyundai i30N is a great car and we see it lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife very often. (the veloster N is basically the same chassis so it too will be great to drive!)

[@JonnyD3ath]

Auto Addiction i thought this was the i30N? Ohhhh, i need to research now!

[@slofobra4966]

Is that 2.0 the same in the Optimas?

[@SeanHong1103]

There is only one transmition currently offered which is a six speed manual WOW

[@EngineeringExplained]

Props Hyundai! How it should be!

[@xampx2k7]

Engineering Explained damn right

[@Dinty51]

Engineering Explained hey boring request: can we get a long term update on your Subaru Crosstrek? And how badly do you regret not getting the current generation one?

[@hologrampizza5432]

Engineering Explained It could really use an automatic option. It's easy to learn how to drive stick, but not everyone wants to. Not only would an automatic option improve sales, it would also be faster around a track.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Love my Crosstrek! And I don't regret not waiting for the '18. It's nicer, but honestly it wouldn't be too expensive if I really wanted to trade-up for it. Also, they don't have a Hyper Blue one for '18, so that's a bummer! Do wish I had CarPlay though.

[@pattyboi]

Man, Hyundai and Kia are starting to get really serious...its kind of bad that Hyundai is offering a hot hatch and Ford is discontinuing theirs...

[@nighthawkcm8872]

Patty Boi ford is discontinuing a lot of their passenger cars, but I think they are keeping the focus rs and st. I think lol

[@pattyboi]

T.L. Everett I thought they were getting rid of both st's for the American market. Not entirely sure though

[@neovenom9833]

The veloster has been discontinued in my country. Good thing we get to keep the Fiesta and Focus. Still need a Fusion/mondeo with a V6 turbo.

[@z33tanner]

Patty Boi Lmao Ford castrated themselfs and now only going to make SUV's Ford had a good run i suppose.

[@lowk3ychris484]

T.L. Everett no the Focus RS and ST will only be available in countries out of the U.S

[@cliffsangelsphotography]

Wow. Kia and Hyundai are definitely stepping up their game. Now I have more cars to consider

[@ozzstars_cars]

For some strange reason I find that car very attractive.

[@EngineeringExplained]

I think it looks great! There's a little fake carbon fiber thing that's stuck on each end of the spoiler that I'm not a fan of, and I think the interior is a bit bland, but aside from that I really do think it's a good looking hot hatch.

[@fastitocalon]

Them plastics were looking mighty hard, but if that is what needs to go to keep the car affordable and enjoyable then so be it.

[@JJ_ExMachina]

That's the benefit of bringing in German engineers and designers :) I have always thought German designed vehicles are the best looking... General Motors have done it with their Buick line, and Ford has done it with the Mustang if not more models... It is nice to see that "German" influence spreading through out the automotive manufactures. Lets get away from those box designs that so many companies love to do, and design fluid flowing lines that draw the eyes in.

[@Rentta]

I much prefer i30N

[@JJ_ExMachina]

Yeah does not look like the i30 N is going to make it to the USA... :( We miss out on all the awesome "small" cars...

[@mariuszanfir2298]

It's like this guy has a personal fight with his own country :) He quits BMW, he then goes to Hyundai, puts his German knowledge into their cars and brings them to top levels of performance and then, to make it pretty clear he has went on a rebellion, calls a press launch in the automotive heart of Germany, Nurburgring :))

[@stephenhendricks103]

Mzn T: What a crock! Mr. Biermann's knowledge and experience don't belong to Germany; they belong to Mr. Biermann. There was a time when the official ideology of Germany was that all Germans, wherever they lived "belonged" to the German nation. Fortunately, that point of view was destroyed in 1945.

[@cicero1178]

Stephen Hendricks That's actually a very healthy mindset. It's how cultures survive. You want Germans to be rootless and stop existing?

[@speedydraw]

Stephen m8 he was just making a little joke.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Next he'll worth for North Korea on the Nuclear program oh that's right it apparently was dismantled.

[@mariuszanfir2298]

@Stephen Hendricks "German knowledge" doesn't necessarily mean "belong to Germany", I was referring to a "specific way of doing things" :) And, as speedydraw said, this is just a joke, no need to be too serious about it. @DEVILTAZ35 Unfortunately, "apparently" is the key word in that statement :/

[@Shadow750Jax]

I just bought the 2019 Veloster base model (not the N or turbo) and for a base model car I must say I'm very impressed! Fun to drive around town and has a very peppy engine.

[@themechanic6117]

Hyundai is coming out strong 💪

[@brandnewty]

It only took 50 years.

[@poymu4929]

Strong but not close enough.

[@thynysan]

Yet there depreciation value still let you know that its still a Hyundai.

[@therealnoodles7638]

@@thynysan maybe the old cars but the new cars still have good value after a few years

[@GodSejeong]

It's more of a German car tho since Hyundai recruited Audi designers for their newer cars

[@nooranik21]

First the Stinger, now this? People are gonna start talking about Korean cars like they talk about German and Japanese cars here pretty soon.

[@sandorspalms]

Not only is Hyundai putting out some great cars but their backing it up with the best warranty in the business and the same for Kia.

[@coolqwerty73]

This is so cool! I’m glad to see these companies making fun cars without crazy price tags

[@manowar5516]

This seems like such a great experience for auto content providers. Excellent review.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I was waiting for a great vid to come out on my future car and you did it perfect. 🤤

[@atrain132]

I saw these cars debut at the Pirelli World Challenge at the Circuit of Americas back in March. These cars have been killing it.

[@darthkahnobis]

atrain132 is there any coverage of that? I’d like to watch a bit.

[@faaizansari1389]

Your explaination is great

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks!

[@mrdudeman29]

I could hear the popping on shifts and way thinking it sounded like no lift shift/anti lag i am impressed i have always lived the valoster and am so glad they are finally making one with good power!! Korea is on there car game right now its so cool to see!!

[@Simnettnutrition]

I would love to hear more about your thoughts on the ring! It must have been so surreal. ✌️

[@sogerc1]

Whoa, wait a minute! 2019 Veloster N?! How long was my afternoon nap?

[@Blafard666]

Now thats a review !!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Appreciate it!

crazy I want to buy this hyundai. A Hyundai. Never thought I'd say that. Really loving the direction they are taking. Fantastic job

[@bierlein4934]

Seems like Hyundai is taking their approach to produce more sporty cars really seriously.

[@haridoessports]

Try doing one personal review of Civic Type R! Would love to see one!

[@basithph8958]

I can't for the Veloster N to hit the market soon! I also did a video on the Hyundai Veloster N as like sneak peek, first impressions, just news about the car Learned a lot from this video. Keep up the good work!

[@McKoby1337]

Damn. I've got a 14 Veloster R-spec and I love the way it drives, now I want this.

[@PiroFyre]

10 min around the Ring in that for your first time? That's quite impressive. Now I'm really curious to know what a professional driver can do with these cars. These have really made me interested in the brand Hyundai now as they haven't really released a car in the US that interested me yet.

[@munozoscar05]

can’t wait!

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

Good review Thanks. Glad some one who really knows about cars and speak car language reviewed it. I do watch your channel and TY

[@shutterbug1076]

I'm thrilled it comes with a manual! I'm 41 years old and I have never owned an automatic. It's getting harder and harder to find manuals and I think that so sad. Any car is more entertaining with a stick. I don't care what anyone says, "Flappy Paddle" shifters are not as much fun. Another great video!!!

[@theblakeslees7065]

This is what the veloster should have been in the first place

[@Gauge167]

I am definitely on the hyundai train. They r give giving people what they want!

[@DEVILTAZ35]

A piece of plastic crap that happens to go fast? Look at the tech on the new Mercedes A class and this is years behind. The new A250 AMG will have this cars measure easily.

[@CalculatedRiskAK]

An AMG that will likely cost 10 grand more. You could buy the N, build the engine, upgrade the turbo, and get full bolt on upgrades to get upwards of 450-500bhp for the same price as that AMG.

[@Gauge167]

DEVILTAZ35 yea 2 totally different priced cars u cant even compare them...

[@dougn2350]

As long as Hyundai does NOT do the engine start/stop I'll always be a fan. I HATE THAT.

[@demetriosb5758]

Going to the New York Auto show earlier this year and seeing this car at Hyundais booth really amazed me and proved that the Korean car makers are not messing around anymore. All great stuff from Hyundai, Kia, and even Genesis.

[@InvestmentJoy]

Looks like a really awesome car for the MSRP.

[@DamonMM]

Those backfires!!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Yess!

[@arcticwhite8501]

It's just a crackle map unfortunately, a useless gimmick and nothing more.

[@NoelAWinslow]

kmamercy didn't he explain the backfire comes from retarded ignition timing that also functions as antilag?

[@arcticwhite8501]

Andrew Winslow Sure it provides a tiny amount of antilag, but it has no real purpose in street use, you're just wasting a bit of fuel. The Veloster isn't a rally car. VW & Ford tuners have been crackle mapping their turbo-4 cars for years, it's just cringey to see relatively low power cars coming with such tunes as stock these days.

Love stick shift. There’s no way a CVT can replace that sound and coordination between hands and feet!!!!

[@flavortown3781]

Mishael Barrios -cough- Dual Clutch -cough-

[@ClickClickChhk]

Currently, Hyundai’s automatic turbocharged engines are running dual clutch transmissions. Chances are they may release an option for it in the US because many Americans can’t drive stick shift.

[@mariodr1067]

I have a Cupra 300 with Dual Clutch but I'd rather have a manual to be honest :(

[@F0uLPLayy]

CVTs are theeeee worst. i got the elantra sport with a dual clutch (cuz im out in traffic alot) but its sooo much fun anyway once u get to push it hard

[@bbkangs]

Dang, this car is pretty impressive. I might convert

[@dougn2350]

From what?

[@integrafreak1]

Seems pretty awesome!!

[@seiti1]

Driving on the Autobahn and Nürburgring. You're living the dream!

[@hyundaiverna]

Nice car! Are you going to review the rest of the N models as well? I would like to hear your thoughts about the I30

[@EngineeringExplained]

I did not drive the i30N while I was over there; since it will not be coming to the US I focused on the Veloster.

[@WilliamSunmo]

Ive driven the i30 for a couple of days, its basically the same as the veloster with another body (looks better to me :) )

[@HelloMrPhil]

I was really hoping that you you have some opinions on the i30N. I'm really hoping that it comes the states, maybe in a couple of years? I've read and heard a few other reviews says they are basically the same car in different bodies. Was really hoping to get EE opinion.. oh well thanks for the awesome review!

[@PhugoidOfficial]

I own the I30 N and it is honestly one of the most fun cars I've ever driven, not the fastest, but thats not what its made to be. would rather this over a golf r /audi s3 e.t.c any day

[@EngineeringExplained]

Glad you're enjoying yours!

[@elliot438bcfcVTEC]

I agree. If I had to own a new practical practical performance car I would definitely consider. But for now Integra Type R😎

[@vhateverlie]

I'd rather the I30 than the Veloster. I'm kinda disappointed we're only getting the Veloster N

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Probably because anyone serious would get the RS3 or RS4 not the S3 for the track.

[@YasumotoUS]

Alas, that I30 N is not sold in the USA. Glad that you are having a good experience with it!!!

[@michelfortier9563]

Thanks for doing this car! I'm thinking about buying one.

I want please

[@NICKYMGTV]

JTsuits I’ll race you in my type-r

[@cindysue5474]

You will win of course but the Hyundai wins when it comes to warranty 100K and I don't think there will be the high markup like the Honda R or Focus RS.

[@150to200]

Great video thanks. Next time please show on the screen the kilometre per hour and the kilogram unit as you talk

[@joshuapatrick8999]

I purchased a pro pack a few months back, i must say, after 6000 miles with a 1400 mile road trip in it, its an amazing car and it grows on you, i didnt think i could love it any more than i did when i drove it home, yet after going to a city where dodging traffic is fun, it is the most wonderful vehicle i have ever driven, to include some serious sports cars such as camero SS's and scat pack challengers/chargers and a chrysler 300 srt8 and so on, not because its faster or handles better but because it is something that can be taken to track and raced really hard and be a lot of fun, but it also does small fun things really well too, ive been able to get it to powerslide and it feels almost rwd, ive don full blown donuts in second gear IN A FWD CAR, the torque steer is there, but not annoying or aggressive, more playful than anything. Truly an awesome car and nothing i ever expected to see come out of a hyundai dealership. its a fun track/rally car, but its still a fun and playful daily driver. A car i think you can recommend to anybody, even if its not their typical style of car.

[@metalman003]

I worked at a Hyundai dealership when the Veloster first came out. It wasn’t a bad car but the engine was WAY to small for its looks. It has a more performance style to it but an engine from a go cart. It is really nice to see that they are stepping the Veloster up and giving it performance that matches it’s style. Would love to drive one.

[@buckleyjteams]

Well done hyundai you have earned the respect of a lot of car guys out there not vw owners tho they are still delusional about the gti lol

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Have to admit the Golf R is striking where this is butt ugly though . This car i would be embarrassed to drive to the shops in where a Golf R oozes class.

[@kenlawton1531]

DEVILTAZ35 Agreed, the veloster is bloody horrible looking. I'd take a GTI or an R over a this ugly thing in a heartbeat.

[@Iron883Man]

i30N = Golf , Veloster is more like a VW scirocco. Anyway, if you buy a car to impress people in the parking lot you completely deserve that Golf. Leave the really good cars for people that actually buy one for the fun of driving.

[@devinsoucy8070]

The Scirocco would be an even better looking vehicle than both.

Best review of Veloster N out there

[@EngineeringExplained]

Very kind, thank you!!

[@DevastatorKnight]

Volkswagen GTI needs to step it up after this to justify the price points difference IMO.

[@SG-wj2qj]

DevastatorKnight not really, Volkswagen offers somthing that hyundai simply don't. Quality Fit, finish and materials with a healthy does of refinement. A base GTI is 26k and well equiped. The SE model at 30k is perfect. For 30k you get the I30N with 240hp. arguably the performance is slightly worse unless you get the 270hp performance model at 33k. but then the Veedub is just nicer to be in, live with and the automatic DSG is simply brilliant. (it also should be noted that VW under rate the GTIs output as it actually makes about 250-260hp) Additionally. The Veloster N is going to be more expensive. Coming on at around 35k... At 35k you have the GTI Clubs port. And that will leave i30N and the Veloster N behind will being nicely refined. But to each their own needs. If you got 30k burning a hole in your pocket and you favor performance of refinement. A i30n over a GTI SE would be the fairest choice.

[@benoitbricet8885]

SG! Thank you. I'm working for Volkswagen and we are happy to see our full lobotomy programm being so effective. We will continue our efforts to make sure you will never discover the truth about our cars.

[@SG-wj2qj]

Benoit Bricet I'm pretty sure anybody who knowingly & willingly purchases a hyundai for 30k needs a labotomy

[@DevastatorKnight]

I'd like to see a bit more power in the GTi is all. I still think sits a well made car, i think this will bring some healthy competition in this market though. I don't think im asking too much.

[@SG-wj2qj]

DevastatorKnight which is fair, tbh Volkswagen just needs to be honest, the GTI is advertised with 220hp/ 258tq But when you dyno test it. Everyone finds 220-230whp/260wtq (Factoring In DriveTrain loss of about 15%) and that puts the GTI at about 250-260hp & 300tq. Which is plenty for this car. And the club sport has 292hp (turbo from the Golf R)

Idk why you added 100 lbs, but I do agree that cars are too heavy these days.

[@z33tanner]

Engineering Explained Whoops 3100lbs but yeah my 2006 Acura TL full size sedan only weights 300lbs more than that hot hatch. I think i'm too used to 90's lightweight hondas. My girlfriends 02' Civic Lx 5spd weighs in at 2400lbs :O

[@redhammer92]

my 01 TL is 3500lbs, and is considered a tank by most of my friends who drive older hatchbacks haha.

Sawyer Wow i never would have guess the 2G TL weighed more than the 3G. ~30 more hp & less weight, my car certainly doesn't feel light but it's still light enough to get loose on corner entry and transition. Modern cars have lost this feel IMO with higher saftey increasing weight and electric power steering reducing the cars feedback through the wheel.

[@npaul4171]

I agree the higher weight has certainly changed the tossability feeling (certainly with the benefit of increased survivability, which is beneficial at a time when it seems every other person on the road erroneously thinks they can drive while sending text messages.) The car I just purchased is one of the few remaining with hydraulic steering...and I must say I really like it.

That would be my perfect, "affordable" hot hatch. If only that would decide on the doors!!! 2 or 4 please, the whole 3 door thing bugs the heck out of me. LOL Great review as always!

Hyundai and Kia have taken huge strides. I'm incredibly impressed with the Veloster, well done.

[@chop2093]

Now that’s a track day most people can only dream of!

[@rogerj412]

I'm glad to see that Hyundai is stepping up their hot hatch game with this new Veloster N. I can't wait until they announce pricing and let us view all the options available.

[@TheNaresh308]

Damn that thing sounds incredible!

[@larrys9241]

I see a lot of smiles creeping in as you discuss the car. You cannot hide you are having fun 1 :P

[@shaolin224]

I was surprised how well it handled as I did rent it whilst my truck was being fixed. I had the 2.0 version non turbo and it took turns just about as good as my Z

[@KLINGY94]

Just imagine how far Hyundai has come in the last 10 years, absolutely brilliant!

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Yeah but just buy up all the designers from everyone else and yet somehow that impresses people. It means they can't make it on their own so they steal all the competition's ideas and designs instead. Pretty typical though. It's no more impressive than making a football team by throwing money at the best players so they all play together on the same team. It just shows lack of creativity and vision and all about just cheating the system and i expect nothing less from them to be honest as they have always been copiers not innovators. Take a look at the real innovative tech and it's Germany not Korea. However if you only want to pay for a Timex watch then i guess you get what you pay for.

[@brandnewty]

Look how far hyundai has come in FIFTY years. Not that impressive.

[@darielvazquez930]

I'm in love with this thing dude Might get one if its accesible enough 😂

[@M1911Guy]

Nice! I owned a KIA 2017 Forte5 SX-T with the DCT, the velociter was on my radar when I bought the KIA but the Hyundai just wasn't that good. and I'm glad to see Hyundai starting to come into there own and make fun quick cars,(I like that new crossover SUV too) For my area the KIA was a fun car, quick in the curves but still tame. Nice for trips and 35+MPG in non sport mode was nice on the highway. Currently running 2018 RAV4 for reasons and I really like it, but I like where Hyundai is going(KIA should follow soon). Great review:) keep up that awesome work!
