4 Clever Features Of Hyundai's New DCT - Veloster N Gets Even Better!

[@EngineeringExplained]

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year everyone!! Let's hope 2021 means spending more time filming *outside* of my garage, and out and about when things start to improve **gestures everywhere**. Stay safe, and for those fortunate to get a bit of vacation time in, enjoy it!!

Jason, Merry Christmas to you . When will you be able to test the Elantra & Kona N? Very interested your opinion on these cars. Does opening up the exhaust, snap, crackle, pop change the power output? Thanks

[@mry82]

Same to you! This DCT tech is neat... I'll take the manual, haha.

[@AshtonCoolman]

I'm a proponent of manual transmissions but Hyundai did a great job with this DCT. I thank them for not using a CVT.

[@guyderagisch4964]

With hyundai taking this approach on a DCT, I think they may be the first to introduce a performance CVT application to the masses. That said I like my 6mt N.

[@jaydunbar7538]

Nothing wrong with CVT, its fantastic technology. In fact its so good it was banned from F1 in 1992. I know if i get a new auto shift semi ill get better fuel economy and in all measurable ways they are superior to the old manuals, but I prefer driving the manual so its what I do every day.

[@AshtonCoolman]

@@jaydunbar7538 CVTs suck the driving enjoyment right out of the car. Sure, they're efficient, but they are an abomination to drive with. I've driven several.

[@jaydunbar7538]

@@AshtonCoolman I agree, I prefer manual as stated in my post. My point is in the objective world cvt is a fascinating and wonderful technology. Our preference for the manual is subjective enjoyment. Driving my 10 speed non-sychronized Eaton every day costs me money, roughly 15 grand a year over a modern auto shift. I still do it because I enjoy driving it, not because I think its better in any objective way.

[@AshtonCoolman]

@@jaydunbar7538 subjective enjoyment of a car is an important factor of car ownership. When cars become fully automated and self driving then we'll only have to care about the comfort of the interior. Until then, the subjective driving experience is what matters and that's why we have to have such a variety of vehicle types.

[@kevink2315]

Slush boxes are only on older cars now, and not typical for new cars. The current automatics just use the torque converter to get rolling, then immediately lock up the torque converter with a heavy duty dry clutch, acting like a manual with automatic quick shifts. Check Jason's episode on the new automatics.

[@2strokeFORever]

I know my man the days of 3 and 4 speed slush boxes are gone. My truck and car are both manual so I think I might get the Elantra N just for the DCT

Why would someone buy a "fun" car without the most fun transmission? If 0-60 time is your key reason to get the DCT over the manual, there are faster cars for the same price. Driver engagement and fun is the key for a car like this, not 0-60 time. Still impressive to have a real DCT on such an inexpensive car.

[@gwcrispi]

Just picked up mine yesterday and I had to come here to figure out how the damn thing works!

[@kcdesignconcepts5216]

I run a lot of HPDE. And I've driven many cars on different tracks. The DCT in quite a few of them could yield faster lap times. But that's not the main reason I do this. I do it because I enjoy every aspect driving my car to its limit. Good outcome or bad, I control the car. Not the other way around. As my lap time gets better, it's because I am breaking more effectively, shifting more efficiently, turning in and out of Corners smoother. As in life, it's not about the destination , it's about the journey.

[@kevink2315]

I agree. I've done a few hundred HPDE events at Summit Point (main track), and working the stick, pedals, and throttle are the fun factor. The journey included rebuilding the car to SCCA spec's for DP, but keeping it streetable.

Either way though I would have bought the manual transmission if both models were available when I purchased.

If your driving the vehicle hard your wearing it out, thats simply the trade off that can not be escaped. The clutch is a wear item, if it didn't have the clamping pressure to launch effectively they wouldn't offer it.

unless you are literally racing, there is no point in using the launch control. racing should not be done on public roads at all, so outside of a trackday/drag strip night, its a completely useless feature. plus, if you are trying to win streetlight battles, its the wrong car to begin with lol. no hate, i love my first gen veloster turbo 6MT, but if you are trying to win races bad enough to use a launch control feature, trade in the veloster for something with a lot more stock horsepower.

I have to say that "N power shift" "technology" is pretty funny... not cutting engine power during shifts is how every automatic transmission worked until DBW engines came along. And re launching on a DCT vs. traditional manual transmission, what you say about the "abuse tolerance" of single-plate dry vs. multi-plate wet clutches makes sense, but consider that replacing a traditional clutch is a whole lot easier and cheaper than rebuilding the clutches on a DCT.

If you plan on long-term ownership of this car, a DCT would be way more money to maintain and eventually fix vs a simple manual trans

Hyundai does some...interesting....things with their transmissions. Not always for the better. The 6-spd conventional automatic in my 18 Elantra seems to electronically reduce throttle during gear transitions, I assume to reduce wear on the clutch packs and perhaps smooth the shifting.

[@ThatOddGarage]

They also have a ton of lag in the manuals as well, heel-toe shifting is pretty much impossible, the throttle is electronic and doesn't let you get too aggressive.. I had a 15 forte with the 2.0 and a 6MT and ran into this issue often.

[@palebeachbum]

@@ThatOddGarage I hate electronically controlled throttles. They often don't feel like they're calibrated accurately and give an artificial feeling. I think they are one of the worst automotive technologies made commonplace in car over the last 20yrs.

I've been driving electric cars since 2015 (no not a Tesla) and they have everything I love about driving.. (except range and the cool engine noise) instant torque power .

[@philspaghet]

No they don't they don't have a manual

[@DuncanCunningham]

@@philspaghet now that would be great.

Was very confused for 3 minutes till I remembered that a DCT is not a CVT.

I hope you can cover in the next video of SSC Tuatara rerun which they hit 252mph far off from their world record of 331mph

[@aquaisuseful682]

They did that second run down two cylinders because of spark plug failure. And at half track length. Not trying to defend. They ARE liars. But gotta inform. Merry Christmas

[@angeloprada6381]

ehy jason, nice informative video as usual. Can you please tell me the name of your shoes? thanks

[@arjunyg4655]

Those look like Allbirds Wool Runners to me

In nearly half of century of driving I never went without at least one MT vehicle in my garage until I bought a DCT GTI in 2013. When I replaced it in 2018 with a MK7 GTI I didn't hesitate to go with a DCT again. I'd still choose a manual transmission Miata simply for the heritage in a pure sports car with limited power but otherwise I'd never go back to a manual transmission vehicle. No more than I'd return to a car without power assisted steering or fuel injection.

Heeey love ur content u the guru

[@erod188]

I love my 2015 Veloster T I wish I could upgrade to this model :(

[@zublits]

Make in RWD and you'd have my attention. I'd settle for AWD.

@Foxtrot Oscar waay better the focus RS had so many issues ford didn't even bother fixing the engine they just discontinued it. The ford mustang ecoboost has the same engine as the RS however with a smaller turbo and they don't blow up under 40,000kms anymore but still have issues.
