2022 Hyundai Elantra N vs. 2021 Hyundai Veloster N: See The Differences!

[@sgneher]

Elantra N starting to look more attractive than the new wrx

[@Jonalius]

the front end will take some time to grow on me but overall very solid car can’t wait to test drive and hopefully own this exact config

[@puttajay]

Thought exactly the same thing, the wrx interior alone puts it second, the exterior on the elantra n in that blue as well 🔥 hyundai is on a roll with design at the min

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

Because it is.

[@alexcsere]

The new Wrex is a Crosstrek that's been lowered, has 25% more displacement for a whole 3hp. It's a joke.

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

@@alexcsere unfortunately, Subaru is living off of its glory days that have long passed them. Who won the last two WRCs?

[@chrisl117]

I'm glad Hyundai is giving the driver the option to actually turn off the artificial engine noise.

[@Freestyleny]

it also uses a active anti lag active exhaust 4 the pops

[@arthurmroyce]

My Veloster N "had" a weird speaker just below the windshield in the cowl. It is sitting in a drawer in my shop now. The car sounds BETTER without it. I want the real sound of my engine only.

[@Rachaeldestinyy]

@@arthurmroyce how do you get rid out the sound?

[@jeremy2574]

I agree! That was one thing that really bothered me when i owned a GTI.

[@9unslin9er]

Could you imagine if they made an AWD Elantra N? It would slay the WRX.

[@Cest.La.Vie..]

They hate to add any more weigh on their N - maybe after they put an engine with more than 300+ hp. For the same reason even the Kona N is not with AWD option.

[@kcrossover4267]

Crazy how every single car video that has nothing to do with a subaru still somehow has people mentioning subarus. Just shows how much subaru lives rent free in yalls heads.

[@dnegel9546]

I'm pretty sure this is already faster then a WRX. Maybe not from a dig but everywhere else. Personally I like fwd just fine. If anything the type R proves how much potential is still left in fwd cars. (Not saying it's better then AWD.)

[@turbodarkle]

If you want a AWD car this isn't the car for you... lol

[@mitchjames9350]

They would have to make it lighter to counter the increased weight of the awd system. It handles quite well for a fwd car by people taking it to the track.

[@ian2372]

The veloster front end is much better. The elantra front end is gross.

[@Dominik047]

I'm a Honda fan boy but I literally might go the Elantra N over the 10gen type R and for sure over the 11gen. It looks like the future.

[@dnegel9546]

11 gen is so horrible. Literally everything rests on the type R saving the 11th gen civic. Even tho I doubt it.

[@miatand1156]

Both lovely designs with top notch performance. I'd take both without hesitation.

I'm impressed. Hyundai is killing it!

[@godkingmaximus2710]

looked at GR86, Megane RS280, Honda Civic Type R, I30N Hatch, 2022 WRX, GR Yaris and I have to say, this Elantra N was on another level. Corning, handling/suspension and the the noise. 245/35R19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on a Hyundai? An Audi RS3/A45 AMG have 235/35r19. Its a complete package poor man's BMW M3.

[@williamk1800]

Hope North America gets a sunroof option for the Elantra N and Kona N. Disappointing omission in the Veloster N since South Korea gets a sunroof in theirs.

[@sciencesold_]

DCT version gets the sunroof I believe

I was thinking about getting a dodge but after this I can definitely wait a few years on that a enjoy something like this

[@marcypink997]

I'm sold on the Veloster n all day

[@yungpunk6928]

I own a 2015 VT and man does the Veloster N look great, the Elantra is cool but I really can’t get over that front end I don’t know what they were thinking but other then that Hyundai stepping up their game

[@BStudd1182]

As someone who has driven both cars several times(6 speed manuals) and a fan of both, I have to say the VN is the better performing car when it comes to cornering and acceleration. For whatever reason the EN struggles to keep the power down and suffers from a lot of wheel hop. The VN also has some but to a much much lesser degree in my experience. With that said, even though I do dig the older (6 o clock) analog style gauges in the VN, the EN interior is overall nicer place to be with a pretty badass infotainment system. Again I’m a fan of both vehicles at the end of the day.

[@Joshuabebopbeboop]

For wheelhop just get an engine mount & new EN delivers power equally there isn’t much difference at all

[@dododede875]

with similar price point, Elantra seems more fancy and luxury looking. Veloster will be probably faster but man that elantra looks nice intenrior with clusters and touchscreen.

[@G0ddEityawesome]

On the contrary the Elantra is faster in both acceleration and lap times than the veloster n

[@jetmoseby5149]

The front end of the elantra n looks horrid , same with that horrible spoiler, the performancd is nice but who is really gna buy this.

[@frankvee]

How does the transmission on the DCT model work when in SPORT or N Mode, as far as shifting throughout the rev range? Is it left entirely to the driver to upshift and downshift at any desired point throughout the range (as if driving a true manual transmission), or does the onboard computer interfere with driver input at certain revs if no input is detected from the driver?

[@damienfrizzell9394]

In auto mode you can over ride the dct with paddles but will revert back to auto if you don't make any more shift inputs after a while. Or you can select manual mode where all shifting is down to you.

[@aaronzavala7464]

I was bummed at 1st that my Elantra N didn't have the blue seat belts but then I saw my buddies 2019 Veloster N and they look extremely dirty so kinda glad mine are black now. I'd hate to be paranoid about getting them dirty

I will say this... Moving the NGS button to a better location that is easier to press while on the track is a good change. I don't like taking my eyes off the track but I have no choice when trying to press the NGS button while hurtling down the straight.

[@squids9628]

Hyundai needs to install brembos from factory ,stop cheaping out on basic brakes from the bigger heavier car they produce

[@tommygarcia8010]

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

You didn't show us if the Elantra has the same spider web style graph as the Veloster n that allows for adjusting dampers, exhaust, steering, engine, trans, E-LSD, and ESC or is the Elantra set up different? How did you skip that??

[@reginaldboyd8665]

he kinda showed it at 7:39 but the elantra is set up differently, it doesn’t use the web graph like the veloster does

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

@@reginaldboyd8665 well I was watching it on my phone and all those adjustments with the three little red bars are in the top right corner. Problem is he mentioned the brake pressure, oil temperature and everything else on the screen and completely skipped discussing the most important part which is all the features that can be adjusted from very comfortable too much more aggressive. I just watched another video viewing the mk8 Golf R from raiti's rides, and he completely skipped the custom screen, so anyone who isn't familiar with the mk7 golf R which I own, they would have no idea that so many different things can be put into either comfort normal or sport settings independently. He had the Eco, comfort, sport, nurburgring, and custom screen open on the infotainment so he could choose what driving mode he wanted and went straight to nurburgring and didn't even click the custom screen to showcase to the potential buyers, what the mk8 Golf R has in terms of adjustability. Does it have an active exhaust? Adjustable dampers, engine, DCT, adjustable levels of the elsd? Adjustable steering? A 26-minute review and not once did he even take three seconds to just open the screen and at least let people see how the screen is laid out and what options can be customized, or while he was driving it, he kept it in nurburgring which is the most hardcore mode the whole time, instead of switching to full comfort to determine if there is a big difference in the steering weight, and the damper compliance and how quiet the exhaust gets etc. Yes at least this guy dad quickly passed by the screen and landed on it for a few seconds, but those 8 different features that have different adjustments is one of the main reasons why you spend an extra $10-12k on the N than a regular elantra. That's one of the N performance line most important highlights and he only verbally mentioned how he can change the tune of the exhaust. Anyway I actually just finished leaving a comment on the review of the golf are not even 5 minutes ago, so I thought your reply was about the MK8 golf R. I was so damn confused for a minute until I realized you were replying to a comment I made months ago, and not three minutes ago LOL. Sorry for the long reply... I was just venting cuz that other reviewer was literally the worst. The car was gorgeous tho in white with the 19in new Wheels! It is so much nicer than my mk7. I tell myself that this one is way too much money, but the fact that it does 0-60 in a blistering 3.9 seconds Stock with launch control and the DCT, when I think about how much money I spent on exterior and performance mods on my mk7 Golf R. It probably would have come out to the same in the end, except that was hitting 60 in 3.5. Problem with the mk8R is the touch capacitive buttons on the steering wheel are always getting accidentally tapped while driving according to every Auto journalists including the heated steering wheel and the heated seats. It's a real problem. Anyway sorry I got off topic. I've got to see an Elantra in person because I love the interior so much more than the Veloster n and I really don't like the exterior of the Elantra N but I may love it if I see it in person so I'm waiting

Had the '16 turbo for awhile. Looking to get another car with a higher budget than the N. I really wish the Veloster N looked more like the Turbo, it was more quirky with the over the top head and tail lights dual center exhaust and the body lines were so much more attractive in my opinion. It's hard to explain but, the N looks more like every other sports car. Might wait for the 400z, or go back to a mustang for the horse power.
