I have a 2019 as my daily. Love it. No issues. This guy is trying to compare it to a benz.. Smh. Its a sub 20k car that is well worth it. My other car is procharged sooo
Good to see a review on a base model, not everyone can afford to high spec versions. And from my experience the difference between base and upper specs can be chalk and cheese. Would be nice to see more reviews on the biggest selling version of cars rather than the top spec.
The previous-gen non-turbo Veloster with the 1.6l engine, while not as fast as it turbo counterpart, was still peppy for what it was (0-100 around 8 sec) and, had awesome fuel consumption. The new-gen non-turbo Veloster is just an expensive i30
Paul, are you intending to do a review on the new Outback due out later this year ? Also, do you know if we are going to get the Turbo like they do in the States ?
Why not just make it a 4 door gran coupe? However just too much low rent plastics in the interior and cheap build but I’m sure ok if you’re looking for A to B reliability with no turbo or so called fancy technology
This is a great first car buyer's car. The fact that it doesn't have a turbo means that the engine will last longer. There won't be any turbo forcing air into the engine causing the internal mechanics to wear out faster. Great car for the price too.
Amen I bought it for practicality and features, ,and it looks great. It's very peppy not slow in the least. Got my 2019 Friday with 29k miles for a much better price than any lame Ford of Chevy which will crap out or have 100 recalls before this Hyundai!!
Let’s put it this way, I was stupid enough to buy a 2018 Honda Civic coupe with a CVT transmission. The inside was so bland it was like bread that was just plain. It had no entertainment system just some screen with random things on it, no lane and assist features or anything fancy like that at all, and get this only one intermittent windshield wiper setting! This car is loaded with features and is a great bang for your buck even if it is under powered. If you want power go buy some generic mustang that nobody cares about. By the way the Honda CVT transmission was just horrible and hung like a bad transmission would if it were going out.
You keep mentioning the Turbo. I have one and it's not all that. It produces 201hp at 4,800 rpm I believe. Mine is a 2014, 6-speed auto transmission. The current Turbo models have the exact same engine in them. I'm sure it's better than the 2.0 but not by much, especially the way you insinuate that it does.
It’s not so much the power that’s an issue, it’s the torque. The naturally aspirated engine makes 180Nm (133lb-ft) at 4500rpm, whereas the turbocharged engine makes 265Nm (196lb-ft) between 1500-4500rpm. It makes for a very different driving experience.
Hey, great video! I currently own a 2015 Suzuki Swift 1.2 (my first car), and looking to get the 2019 Veloster 2.0 to take its place. I've read a lot about it not being as fast as it looks, but I'm thinking in giving it a pass. Since it has considerable more power than my current hatchback, I think I will notice the change, and it will probably be enough for me. What do you think? It would be great to get more opinions, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance :^)
I am renting this right now in El Paso TX. The 2.0 is not great on the Texas freeways where it's the Indy 500. I am a visitor and just trying to not get run over in the slow lane.
Does this model/grade have a speed limiter? Reason I ask is that some of the euro cars I've had in manual have that switch you mentioned at the end of the accelerator travel as a safety feature to bypass the limiter. Just a thought :)
I think you may have hit the nail on the head! I just did some checking and it comes with a manual speed limiter function. And you're right, the kickdown switch would be precisely for that reason. 10 internet points for you :-D
@@stevenmccomb6351 I haven't tried yet, in the US usually they put a regulator on the engine to cap speed at 104 mph. I've hit 100 but not above, can I push it?
You'd think the 1.6Turbo (maybe with a DCT) would be at least, the base model. Re the scratched alloy wheels, modern cars are problematic in this area. My wife's got a new car with very low profile tyres and big alloys and scatches are a damned nuisance. Older cars at say 60 ratio are fit for purpose in that it's the tyres that scrub the curbs. Any thoughts?
Exactly - chubbier profile tyres help with padding. Wheels are expensive to fix when they're regularly scratched, which is why it's worth simply waiting until you sell the car. My thoughts anyway!
The vast majority of reviews are based on top of the line review models, and the vast majority of people do not buy those top of the line models for obvious reasons. On this car, the base model Premium 2.0 has an MSRP of $24K USD, but can be had easily for just under 20K USD - 20% discount. The top of the line N that I see tons of reviews on has an MSRP of 31K and actual selling price in my area is over $29k - about 5% off MSRP. This is a huge difference if you start looking at what you can actually get for $29K USD. You are knocking on the door of a Mustang GT at that price point, which is a far superior sports car that will most likely hold its value far far better. The Premium 2.0 is a sporty looking economy box, getting 27 / 34 MPG city / highway. It should be reviewed that way. On a price point basis, you should be comparing this car to a well spec'd Kia Forte, base or one model up Toyota Corolla, and so on. If you did that type of comparison, this review (should) be quite different. But reviewers are stuck with quoting invalid MSRPs because the auto makers won't give you more review cars if you quote real world prices, right? So you make comparisons of cars based on prices that are invalid, which makes the review... invalid.
@@CarExpertAus You proved my point. You signed an agreement which requires you to quote MSRP, which is typically irrelevant in the *real* market. It's not just you, pretty much anyone who does a review (on anything) is beholden to the manufacturer to provide said review item. There are a few that don't make themselves beholden to the manufacturers - by renting or purchasing - but not many. Typically you have to pay for access to those reviews too (like consumerreports.org). What's that adage, you get what you pay for?
I own this exact model and I can say the 0-60 is much more around 6.8~7.5 seconds. 10 seconds is a number if your not on a flat road. It's a quick car and not worthy of this dude who is used to high end cars
Very disappointed with mine, was hoping for a fast one instead I got this crappie slow and sluggish beast, did not know the difference as am not a car person only notice after I bought that the fire power is not high as my SR, very disappointed for a 2019 car like wtf
Not a great car, reminds me of my Hyundai excel back in 96. Cheap and nasty. Apart from the i30 and Santa Fe, Hyundai have lost it. Liking the new channel, keep up the good work
I have this car very similar and It's honeslty a pretty nice car for the cost a moves pretty good for a 2.0 I personally think this guy is down talking quite a bit for what it is.
@@stevenmccomb6351 I think you could be right about that. It's like he's comparing this to the Turbo like black to white. And, all of them have the same interiors. I'm hoping to get a 2.0 myself but it's a premium model.
Mark Byrge right and the car is Under 20,000 I just got me a 2.0 same color as the one in the vid and the car is great really engaging when you step on it and the steering is very responsive
A complete rip off! This was the car I was waiting for to purchase. Yes the non turbo model. For $36k drive way (NSW) I would expect a car in 2020 to have sat nav, digital radio, proximity key and push button start at the very least! The interior plastics and cloth trim look cheap and nasty. No wonder these aren't selling and customers are purchasing the much better value and equipped i30. I could get an i30 n line with the 1.6 turbo engine, leather trim and every other concevable gadget and safety feature for $36k. Huyndai messed up big time on the veloster. My local dealer has an ignite red auto 2.0 that has been sitting there for almost 9 months now and the greedy dealer is still not willing to reduce it by much. With the equipment level as it stands, the 2 litre auto model should be no more than $30k drive away and the Manual $28K drive away. They either need to reduce the pricing by at least $5k on all the model ranges or drastically up the equipment levels, especially on the 2.0. The styling of the car is sensational and unique with the door configuration. Such a shame especially since Hyundai Australia really fought to have this car sold here.
@@SSToor No one cares, the Hyundai styling, features, handling etc shit on Mazda's. This car is 20 times more FUN as well, my dick is big enough without having to prove it by 0-60 times no one cares about. Or going 100mph and becoming one with the pavement!
Why are all the Hyundai reviews such low spec models. All the low spec Hyundai's are so plasticky and underwhelming. Do Hyundai not want to sell cars by providing reviewers with models that actually have features?
You ever drive or own the 2019 or 2020? No? Then shut it lol. They're great! Not everyone cares about dick measuring, or need a fast car to try and compensate for a small one :)

I LOVE my Veloster! It’s so much fun to drive! I feel extremely safe and sporty too! It’s the best of both worlds 🙌🏼
how's the car so far...planning to get one
Right I don’t care about speed. It’s reliable? Any quirks? I love the way they look..

Just picked this lil thing up for my daily and its so fun. 👌
Love mine too, absolutely a joy to drive
everybody rips on the plastic interior but it's easy to clean and doesn't crack/tear with age like leather or fabric does.
Good to see a review on a base model, not everyone can afford to high spec versions. And from my experience the difference between base and upper specs can be chalk and cheese. Would be nice to see more reviews on the biggest selling version of cars rather than the top spec.
Sounds good, Greg. Normally we will try and go for the top sellers, but on occasion we will review whatever is available from the manufacturer.
the r-spec in the states (turbo 6M) costs about 2k more than the base. Not worth considering the base if you drive stick.
This was such a well done video.. amazed that you only have 5k subs! This channel will boom, keep it up!
Thanks, William! Appreciate it :-D
Look at those numbers now!
How about now
The special thing about this car is that it is one of the very few naturally aspirated manual hatchbacks left.
Just got mine yesterday and I LOVE IT!!!!

Hey Paul, When you say the price of each car, can we get it in DollaryDoos, like say "This car starts just under 30k DollaryDoos" :'D
A bit brutal, but at least your honest. What do I care about, 18k, 35 MPG highway, fun to drive to work. I'm a UPS Bloke
Honest is my middle name :-D
Cool
I just purchased one and it’s the funnest car I’ve ever driven. It feels safe but sporty too, best of both worlds. 👌🏼
I have the same 2.0 in my Elantra se. Got it in 2018. It's a dog but reliable and I get well over 40mpg. The manual does help
Thanks for the feedback, Joe!
I bet the ‘N’ model would be fun!
The back reminds me of previous gen i30
Paul, are you intending to do a review on the new Outback due out later this year ? Also, do you know if we are going to get the Turbo like they do in the States ?
Yes, we definitely will review the Outback when it lobs! With regards to the Turbo, are you referring to the Veloster or Outback?

Thanks 👍!
I love my 2019 2.0 I bet a Mustang with it that thing can corner so well I love it

Not everybody can afford more than this you know
Very cheap looking interior. The ioniq interior was way better.
Yep, the new 10.25-inch screen in the Ioniq is fantastic.

Watch them sell thousands regardless
Drive one. It's actually a nice little car I'm my opinion
well done on butchering the pronunciation of the name
