2019 / 2020 Hyundai Veloster Turbo | The Spicy Hatch

Hyundai's Veloster is the only subcompact in America that was designed to be fun. Other subcompacts are practical (HR-V), or funky (Soul), or engineered to be low-cost (Versa). But the Veloster is different. The base model puts style and handling above other attributes, the turbo trim delivers better handling and acceleration than just about any other subcompact and then we have the new Veloster N which is the only true performance car in this category. If you're looking for a practical family hauler, you're looking at the wrong car. But if you're looking for more smiles per dollar than the average small car in America, this is the car for you.

Facts

[@johnholst]

This car comes slightly better equipped here in Korea. We get heated and ventilated seats with full power adjust-ability. Also comes with heated steering wheel. The base engine is a really perky 1.4T. It's a cool car!

[@Ironcoremagma]

That is ridiculous, no reason that should not be offered here.

[@SJutigard]

I have one of these here in Canada and mine also came with heated steering wheel and sensors in the rear to detect cross traffic (the one in the video didn't have the button to turn this off so I assume it wasn't an option). Also the dark grey leather seats are a lot nicer with the red accent AND red stitching.

[@butsmash]

Ventilated seats would be nice! Especially with my sweaty arizonan back xD

[@mrhawk1924]

That's not fair.. see on my channel

[@mamba109]

I actually found the Veloster rear seats to be a bit more spacious than the Mazda3 for some reason. I sat in both back to back during the NYC Auto Show, very surprising

[@joeb2588]

I have a 2018 Elantra SE with the manual transmission. I have the 2.0 147hp motor. While it is not quick, at all, I get over 40 mpg and it is quiet. At idle, you wouldn't even know it's running. I really like the car.

You just described the most boring appliance-type vehicle I can think of. I prefer an Abarth with the "bang and pops" tune that bumps the boost up. Any car can get you from point A to point B, even a beater. Its getting there in style and enjoying life that makes the difference.

[@arthurguillaume5977]

This Veloster was available when I chose to buy my Elantra GT Sport. I thought the extra room, true hatchback style (Similar to VW Golf) was a better option for a 69 year old guy who still likes a car that handles well, but is on a retiree budget. I don't do much city driving because I live in a country setting, and thus, I get over 33 mpg with the 7-sp DCT.

[@subvet3668]

The GT Sport would be my choice as well. I'm hoping they can give it an ultimate manual trim like they do with the Veloster then I would totally be in with that, but the normal GT Sport Manual is still a good bargain, especially since you can get it for about 20K.

I would never get a Veloster, but this video has convinced me it is a compelling car, and I did not expect that.

[@Trendyflute]

I've always been such a fan of the Veloster shape and concept; trying to split the difference between a sports coupe/2-door hatchback and a more practical economy sedan/4-door hatchback may seem like a silly compromise to some, but this is a space I can see myself existing in. A Miata is a blast, but despite their economy and relatively comfy ride and decent use of the space there is, it's a chore to live with everyday for most. The Veloster is the next rung or rung and a half up the practicality ladder, and I think Hyundai did such a good job of being ALMOST as practical as the next category up in car while just being smaller, more unique, more fun, more interesting! It's a refreshing and unique compromise in the car world, and I appreciate that Hyundai took the risk when nobody else did. There doesn't need to be a vacuum in this size and type of car; it's a great car for a lot of drivers!

Damnit I'm jealous. The base engine in a new Fiesta (the one you are not getting, but don't worry, you aren't missing out on much) has 80 hp here. 80. The Veloster is smaller and cheaper than the Fiesta yet it's base engine in the US has 147 hp. I want that.

I can't say enough about my 2020 Veloster R-Spec traded in my subi for the pink-slip going all in.

WRX, i had a new Impreza that i traded in and its cheapy and not impressive also expensive. Mazda m3/ford ST or RT(out of production. VW(boring/pricey with many issues).. I DIDNT RECOCGNIZE THE 2017-2021 VELOSTER from the old body style, LOOKS GREAT. It RIPS corners 0-80 extremely impressive and MPGS are there if u need. I CANT WAIT to possibly trade up to the new 8 speed DCT 2021 Veloster N. Hyundai... u are changing the game and I'm soo so glad I made this choice and i work out of my car everyday making it super fun and smart. Great sound btw and features. GIVE IT A TRY IF U CAN FIND ONE ;)..... 7:17 mines filled with tools of my trade, OBDII scanner, impact, jumper box, documents, and all my other tools made by my company. I have a decent size Virtual lift rectangle brick that fits perfectly in the floor of backseats accessible via rear third door. The Driver door and seat IS MENT for Driver comfort and it delivers. Also can handle passengers or be a zippy work car. Since ive gotten it i have a solid 29.8 MPG after 18k miles and can easily get 35-40 not getting on it. i paid $28.5k before trade in Amazing Value...... best warranty I use the F out of.. P.S.

in right hand drive models the door does move, the rear door is always on the passenger side and also it's not exactly a subcompact, hyundai has the Accent to fill that segment, I think it's more like the VW scirocco, kind of a stylish coupe hatchback thing

[@damieg82]

You beat me to it, but yes you are right, the door does move depending on RHD or LHD. The driver's side always has the single, longer door. As for his comparison to other cars, keep in mind that the US doesn't get the Scirocco etc, so it's difficult to find true rivals there.

[@user-gu7sg2iz7e]

Hello there and thank you for another great video I'm looking to get a compact type car that's sporty and also affordable.

What are you thoughts about which one should I buy?

[@joshuaalan7580]

The highlights of the Veloster practicality in this video have basically convinced me to take one of these over a Civic SI. If the Civic Hatch came in an SI I'd be a bit harder pressed, but a 21 horsepower gap is nothing to sneeze at in this weight class, and you can't get any SI with LED headlights or Honda Sensing in the United States so...

Hey, don't underestimate the 2.0 engine. That same engine in the Elantra matches the Eco turbo version on the highway. Expect the Veloster to get 31 city, 34 mix, and 38 highway mpg in regular driving.

[@v13r3r]

I bought the 2.0L. Hyundai's reputation with the 2.4L Theta II turbo engine is not exactly stellar but that's not the reason I didn't get it. I went with the 2.0L base model because it's simple. From transmission to infotainment. Not a lot can go wrong and easier to upgrade in the future. I prefer naturally aspirated engines but I do confess that it's not as exciting as the turbo. At the same time Hyundai went with the 2.0L Nu MPI Atkinson engine. If they used the previous generations Elantra GT 2.0L Nu GDI engine (174HP naturally aspirated) the gap wouldn't be that bad. Can't really attest to fuel economy because you have to put effort to drive economically lol

Its built on a completely different/new platform. The old version was built on the Accent platform, not the new. They use the I30/Elentra GT platform. Also consumer reports just released a video and review of the new Veloster, see here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3aaiIRqaKaCetE For what it's worth, JD Power lists Hyundai as the third highest manufacture in quality for 2018...

[@TylerPoppe]

Wedow I mean, I know all their car models extensively, but that doesn’t mean their quality went up. Specifically, if you go to Veloster forums and any where a veloster is discussed you find a plethora of issues. I have 75k miles on mine: engine replaced, transmission replaced, usb faulty, stereo resets if you honk, car stopped driving straight after they installed new engine, suspension on both the front is out. Both headlight bulbs have gone out, rear license plate light out, blinker bulb out, transmission now beginning to make the same noise as the first time it went out. Many people I’ve run into have had similar issues with stereo, lights, transmission, and suspension too.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Impressive little car and much like its Kia cousins, Hyundai does an excellent job of improving shortcomings even within a particular generation of their vehicles. That, combined with Hyundai's excellent record of reliability and warranty make for a compelling package. I'm impressed by the third door option. Some may consider it a gimmick but I'd have to say that the back seat of a Mustang or Camaro is the true gimmick. Totally useless. I owned a Mazda RX-8 with hidden rear doors and found it added tremendously to the flexibility of the vehicle. Must say, though, I don't envy a fourth passenger seated behind the front seat passenger. (My RX-8 had four doors rather than three.) I suspect that fourth spot is reserved mainly for transporting small hostages or those who, once in place, will eventually die of old age. I'm also a fan of the DCT option. I own a GTI and love an "automated manual" transmission (as Alex correctly terms it). Combines the advantages of a manual and an automatic transmission. It's a perfect compromise as far as I'm concerned. I do wonder about visibility in the Veloster. I haven't driven one but when I pass a Veloster on the freeway I make sure to pick my spot and do it quickly just in case the driver can't see me. (I do the same with Camaros.) But since Alex doesn't mention it, perhaps it's not as bad as I think. Of course, many of the viewers of this video are actually lusting after the forthcoming Veloster N. Personally I'm disappointed that the US won't be seeing the larger i30N but apparently Hyundai believes the performance version of the Veloster is a better budget competitor for the Honda Type R in North America. How much of a bargain it will be will depend on whether Hyundai dealers can resist putting a second "market adjustment" sticker on the vehicle. I'm not optimistic on that score but perhaps I'll be surprised. As far as this version of the Veloster is concerned, it's likely to be a viable option for those who want something that looks like a Veloster N but for whom the $30K plus sticker is a bridge too far. And since many of the Veloster N's advantages are useful only on a track, the buyers of a vanilla Veloster may not be missing that much.

[@medellon]

How does this compare to the GTI?

[@swanblake]

The Veloster N competes with the GTI, not so much the Turbo trim. That said, the Veloster N is a much more engaging car and a better handler. Does not offer a automatic transmission option like the GTI nor does the interior hold a candle to the GTI inside. If you want a luxurious inside, get the GTI. If you like cars that talk to you, get the Veloster N. I would not fault someone for choosing one over the other. Both are fantastic cars.

[@danielc3321]

Here’s a general question: why is it that the interior trappings, technology, etc. is always of a lesser grade on compact/subcompact vehicles? In other words, why does the size of the vehicle affect the features and interior quality available on it? The manufacturers seem to have all colluded on this point.

[@v13r3r]

Because statistically speaking consumers with less money go for smaller cars and can't afford that stuff. It's also easier to put luxury items in a larger car (less engineering). Then again, that is why luxury brands exists. The new Benz A Class hatchback is gorgeous inside and out. At least in person.

[@lowlanz]

Because normally, in the smaller sized categories, more bucks makes it as expensive as much larger vehicles and most people will just go for larger vehicles when this happens. That's why, unless it's an established luxury brand like Mini, smaller cars don't get luxurious interiors.

[@Maxfli82]

The veloster turbo ultimate has a surprising amount of tech for the price. The materials quality may not be the best but I don’t think they’ve skimped on the tech.

[@geomox4]

How about the Subaru Impreza or the Subaru WRX? Size and price they are definitely in the ballpark.

[@Donkeygrapes]

The Veloster N and the WRX are in the same ballpark. The N drives waaayyy better on normal roads, has a much sportier feel than The WRX..... But the WRX has AWD... soooo if you have bad weather often the N might not be the car you want

Perfect size car. Just wish the Veloster turbo came with a LSD like the Civic SI. I don't want to pay $30k for a LSD on the N. Really wish Hyundai wouldn't have skimped on the Turbo model. Alot of cheap parts on here. Also heard alot of people have has bad rattles on new vehicles. Seems like a step backwards for Hyundai

[@IReahpZz]

28k for an N and it's pretty close to a type R in acceleration.... I don't see the issue. On top of having a way better exhaust note than any Honda product. If you want just an lsd then get a slower less optioned and more basic civic si. At the 200hp mark it isn't really a huge deal. 300+ yes but unless you plan to heavily modify and track your car, it's not a huge deal in my eyes.

[@Donkeygrapes]

I just bought an r-spec and honestly it doesn't need the LSD. It doesn't have the power to justify it, and still handles and feels great. Can't even tell its not there.

[@joepah51]

Civic seems adult sized in comparison. And a Civic Si would be the same price, faster and larger.. Just doesn't have an automatic. Would def like to try the 2.0L Turbo.. 275 bhp in a tiny car would be awesome.

Civic si is a good 4grand more than the turbo r spec (manual) which would be its more direct competition. If the si had an automatic it would be a bunch more expensive than the veloster automatic.

[@vijitc1209]

Yeah. I thought the same. The S line top of the line is just tad more than the Veloster turbo tech.

Too small. I hate being so low to the ground. Nice if I was 30 years younger.

[@kmeekins4168]

if you pay $50K for a mini cooper I hate you

[@CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

How much does Hyundai charge you for the rest of the car? Lol.

[@theodorekell]

It has "Germanic" feel is no surprised. Aren't Hyundai Kia done these days by bunch of Germans?

[@rockefelleragent1357]

Both German and Korean it's a joint project. The germans tweak the suspension design and tuning. The R&D at Namyang (which partly symbolizes "N" not just Nurburgring) is from Korea. All the engine and chassis parts are produced by Hyundai. Don't jump to conclusion too easily because some german engineered helped design this car that is only flip side of the coin u know what i mean

[@2004cyrus]

theodorekell that’s what he said

[@ehabaleid1093]

Looks cheap . Hyundai is known to be the ultimate cost driven auto oem. Cost savings > quality, performance , and sadly even safety to them.

[@ast5515]

Seriously? Have you ever been near a Hyundai in the last 5 years?

[@ehabaleid1093]

Jis Yang the number one ranked deadliest car is the Kia Rio the number 2? Hyundai Accent. Korean death box. I am an automotive engineer it’s well known Hyundai motor group is willing to comprise anything (including safety ) over saving pennies. Don’t be mad because I’m spewing facts be mad at Hyundai for designing death traps. Anyone who works in the industry knows this

[@ast5515]

@@ehabaleid1093 Look at the crash test ratings on their new cars. They aren't worse than any of their competitors. Hyundai and Kia were usually bought by people who didn't know how to drive (cheap econobox, perfect for them), that's why they suicided in them. Those who survived bought more from the same brand so the stats linger.

[@ast5515]

@@jisyang8781 It's just sad. Many people are against Kia and Hyundai the same way he is. If everyone could appreciate their cars for what they offer... They would sell more than GM combined. I like them for 2 things above all else. 1. They make interiors that don't creak and rattle. Sounds like a big duh, but I can't tell you another brand that doesn't have issues with rattles under 50k dollars. 2. Powertrain. DCT. DSG created a horrible reputation for all DCTs and they are fighting that. And they are winning.

OK. I searched your 'facts', because you didn't even provide sources(and now I know why you didn't) and found that your numbers are based on cars manufactured between 2008~2011. How long ago is that? Can't believe someone is actually using figures from 10 years ago to back their opinion. If you're allowed 10years to search a negative statistics on any car company, there's no company that can get away. You sure remember Toyota killing people? Plus, you said no.2 was Accent, but it was Nissan Versa and no. 4 was Chevy. Now you can't buy four of world's best selling Motor companies, 'cause in your words, they sacrificed safety at least once. You should really go find out how Hyundai has climb up the ladders in last 5 years. Nowadays their cars get 5 star safety ratings from US/EU/Insurance associations etc. For example the latest Santa Fe got safety score as good as Volvos. Their initial quality rank had been topping since several years ago and no surprise that this year they beat vehicle dependability rank against Toyota.

so ugly that it almost makes me never want to buy a hyundai

Stopped watching after 4 minutes The Title states this video is for the 2019 Veloster "Turbo" thanks for wasting my time by constantly talking about features the Turbo model doesn't have.
