Hyundai impressed us so much with their first crack at the Veloster N hot hatch, that both Zack and Matt were part of the Road & Track test that declared it the magazine's "Performance Car of the Year." Offering a stunning array of performance-oriented technology at reasonably entry level prices, the Veloster N has now been updated with the availability of a $1500 dual-clutch gearbox, developed entirely in house. The gearbox changes the weight distribution, so the suspension's been retuned, and the car gets new seats for 2021, but what's the best hot hatch on sale like with an auto? Turns out, very, very good!

What's your dream hot hatch?
Project Binky (classic Mini w/ AWD Toyota 3SGTE drivetrain and running gear swap), but assuming I don't have 8 years to donate to a humongous fabrication project? A manual transmission new Veloster N is my choice.
Audi rs 3 but it's not a hatch here in america :(
Type R all the way.
Lancia Delta Integrale Evolution 2 Martini
i30N/Veloster N DCT
The give and take between Matt and Zack is getting a lot better. More of them feeding off one another rather than Matt just talking at Zack.
Proper give/take is a key foundation of any relationship.
@@tealruby1 especially anal

Who’s zack? Listened to Matt on another podcast and really enjoyed him
Yeah Matt is learning to not just talk all the time. There is interaction between Matt and Zack sometimes which makes the (great) format a lot better.
Don’t sleep on Hyundai. Their killing it right now. I appreciate how fast they react to customer demand.
Albert is the head of R&D now. If he wants to execute an idea, Hyundai/Kia writes the check.
@@koreandude81 That was a good hire.
Prices are rising because of it. Life is dangerous and I want cheaper, and lighter, cars w/ less safety equipment.
Hyundai has the best styling for modern cars besides Toyota's modern car styling. Honda and other cars brands look bad IMO. The Mazda styling is ok, but not as good IMO.
@@Bob_Smith19 Get a 90's Honda and put in a roll cage if you value your life. Budget for some rust repair and engine rebuild if you plan on getting one.
I honestly love the 3 Door thing, its weird and unique
Nope, discontinue this and bring the i30 N to North America
Well, the mk1 Mini Clubman did this in the late 2000s. Mini just decided to go with a more conventional 5dr (well actually 6dr because rear boot) for the 2015 redesign.
@@nexushexus4365 I wish we got the i30N and then that they could just make the veloster N a two door
I love it because it is useful. First of all, I get the two door look. But when loading up the car for the track weekend, I put the four extra tires in the rear standing vertically. Then I had the third door to put in my other stuff.
Maybe The GTI Clubsport is better
Hyundai went from a regular, ordinary auto maker i didn't give a damn about to one of the last enthusiast related heroes in like four years... this is insane!
They had to out of survival, only the strongest survive👍🏻
@@smooth_ops2942 Yes and Hyundai and KIA are moving up the ladder.
@@smooth_ops2942 they don't need to make these affordable hot hatches to survive, they where doing preety well in their suv game this far, all you need are suvs and light suvs to survive these days.
These hot hatches aren't that significant in sales.
The Golf gti sold around 11k units in the US in 2019, the Tiguan sold 110K in the same period.
They literally represent close to 10% in sales.
The Miata sold 8,8K last year whereas the cx9 sold 27K and the 6 sold 21,5K.
And thats because the miata is amongst the world's best selling drop top sports cars, if not the best selling.
Sports cars are a niche product, we are a dying breed lol.
@@Lucas-ck1po Your right that us Americans love are SUV's 😁
@@smooth_ops2942 not just Americans, german numbers are very similar, in fact these figures are kinda global.

Who do we thank for this car looking better than latest BMWs?
@@mattbarry79 BMW

While they didn't directly design the Veloster N they are the German influence that Hyundai has used over past 15 years.
@@The_Lonely_Driver1 What makes something "look German"... or "look Japanese or Korean"...? Nothing. It's just Hyundai with their awesome team, which is international. It looks like a Hyundai.
@@dannnsss8034 it was more of a comment that Hyundai in all departments have hired the right people. They are poised to make great products had done so for the past 10 years. Hyundai has definetly found a design laanguage that they can call their own. I name these people in hopes that less people will shit on Hyundai because it's a "HYuNdAi" With these people at the helm I see Hyundai/Kia continue to bring out great products.
This was such a tough call against the Fiesta ST when it first came out, love both.. a lot! but I think the N stole my heart!
Yes I liked your review also of the N :)
Fiesta ST only had 200 horsepower
@@kgthegreatone943 Fiesta ST is one of the best hot hatches ever made. Could it use more power? Ya, but that car is insanely fun and manic feeling.

Whatever filter/post effect you put on the chase/follow shots made me think I was having a stroke.
Please! take it out
Ok glad it wasn't something wrong with my device. It looked like they ran software to take out all the color besides red and yellow or something, itwas quite distracting.
Timestamp?
@@integrafreak1 theres many but here is the one 9:14 only the car is in color. thought my gpu was having problems
Whoa that was not intentionally at all. I didn't lay a filter over that shot. Seems like a Premiere error after the update. Unfortunately, not an uncommon problem with editing software. - ZK
I bought a Veloster N 6MT in 2020 and it's a riot. Love that little car.
Love the 2 takes!!!
For daily driving, all of N owners set custom mode to N mode with soft suspension and soft steering. The stiffest steering is really firm, really only great for the track.
This car is amazing to drive it’s hard to explain. The adjustable launch control the tightness, the rear end lightness. The low end boost and ALS. The tunes and mods from Tork for this car make it even more awesome.
Strange black and white effect going on with your chase car cam?
Looks like they added a filter to highlight the yellow center lines and red car color.
I thought it was RUclips video compression, looks like crap.
Glad to hear it wasn't my computer or a pending stroke. Something was off, I hope, anyway. If this was a styling choice, it was wayyyyy off.

As a tall guy driving a 5-door hatchback, I have my seat all the way to the back and very rarely have a passenger behind the driver seat, the Veloster door setup seems perfect for me. Assymetrical door configuration is not an issue even aesthetically IMO, since you never see both sides of the car at the same time. An interesting looking car and apparently very fun to drive. Nice video, Two Takes format seems to be getting better and better.
I'm 6'2 and I fit very comfortably in the driver's seat of my '20 Veloster R-Spec. I have no problem sitting in the back seat, either. I wouldn't necessarily want to sit back there for a cross-country trip, but I could easily handle a multi-hour ride...
This car seems awesome! I appreciate the comparisons you guys mentioned because Veloster N and GTI are near the top of the list for me when the time comes for an update
I’m an N guy! Was with Hyundai when they introduced the Veloster. Was very excited until it
Flopped in the sales department. Bought my wife an Elantra Limited. It has Ben a perfect little car. Just made the final payment in January. Then they put the Veloster on the Elantra platform and Hired Albert Bierman! Great job Hyundai!!! Looking forward to many more years as a Hyundai owner. I’m retired from car sales after 20 years but still a fan. Sold high end luxury cars for the 1st 15 years them Hyundai for the next 5 years. Love em!
Awesome review! You got the 0-60 of 4.8 correct. Thats according to Car and driver test! I'm enjoying my 2021 Veloster n DCT. Now with 900 miles on it. Its fast and fun! Ill be trying out the NGS button tomorrow and maybe the launch control!
i've never seen matt smile as much as in this video when zack drives
Really informative video - well done!
this car is actually so sick and i love the looks of it. would definitely buy one if i could afford it
Consider that it's a Hyundai, they're still trying to shake their bad reputation. These cars will probably depreciate very quickly despite being very good 👍
@@michaelfjmusic Good thing
@@michaelfjmusic are the itches made in house?
@@michaelfjmusic Absolutely not. Their reputation isn't bad anymore. With their massive warranties, quick recalls, and very good driving dynamics they've changed a lot of minds.
@bouchy85 yeah like how Puerto Ricans in america love honda but in Puerto Rico itself Hyundai sells way more and so does toyota. It's just not the most popular in america as those but it's still a big seller.
you guys are getting a lot better together, starting to like you guys together now lol
This car is so good. Every other manufacturer needs to get it together and give people what they want like Hyundai. Good prices, insane warranties, easy to maintain and looks good. Fun to drive is just a bonus after that I think.
Great review guys, the two take format is a great model. ( Color correction issue on upload?)
"livable enthusiasm" I think that is such a great way to describe this.
Matt is so uncomfortable on the passenger seat during spirited driving
Zack also drives a bit beyond his skill level....that unexpected lift off oversteer was a noob move.
@@djsomeguy no, thats the mostfun part, with zack
@@agreatd most fun for us watching but not as a passenger
It's a totally different experience driving shotgun...definitely scary cuz u don't know what the driver is gonna do
@@djsomeguy Timestamp?
I am so happy to see Hyundai making the cars they are now. They are killing it with the N line and have come so far from what they were in the early 2000s
What I find amazing is how they can make a solid red look so DAMN good!
Seeing how good and dynamic this vehicle is really gives me hope for them to make a new Genesis Coupe with the twin turbo v6 from the Stinger GT!
Unfortunately the Genesis is now their luxury line up. Damn shame, the 2013 coupe 3.8 was a lot of fun. Interior wore out quickly though.
@@spazz954 Luxury coupes are awesome, but I wouldn't care however the named or branded it if they could keep the same magic that they had with this Veloster itd certainly be a good choice for enthusiasts
Apparently reviewers are glowing about the new G70 at least, but still a 4 door.
Great review😀😀 loving this car!
is the car to car rolling shots flipping between greyscale and color a camera issue or a youtube/editing software hated the footage issue?

This is such a great car I don’t even care that it’s FWD, LSD and DCT along with the rest of the performance is phenomenal, and it looks soooo good, I want my hands on it!
Bought a Tucson sport 3 years ago and I absolutely love it ! I’m looking for the N Tucson !
Can't wait to sell my GTI and pick one of these up! Been thinking about this car since I drove the original N on one of my favorite roads just before Covid hit. Such a great little car!
I wouldn’t sell a GTI for this, GTI’s aftermarket is top notch
@@clutch6152 I want a daily I can track and the N is a better platform for that. The N is ton more fun to drive as well. I already drive a modded GTI that can pull 1.5g laterally. It's still numb and kinda boring compared to even a stock N. I also have more confidence in the N with less grip than I do in my GTI, cause I can actually feel what the car is doing. In the gti I'm left guessing based on noise more than anything else, it's almost completely numb.
You really should go drive one. They also have a pretty good aftermarket now as well.
@@AgroAaronFpv There is no aftermarket that can fix that numb feeling in the GTI? I find that kind of strange.
@@SI0AX you'd have to change so much of the car that you'd be better off just buying a new car. You'd have to do control arms, new diff, change the steering rack, replace all bushings, change out the sub frame, motor mounts, and possibly move the motor back (and that's not really an option). VW hangs the motor off the front of the car, and that's probably the biggest contributing factor to the numb front end. Even if you could get rid of that numb front end you'd be left with a car that would still get eaten alive by an N or a Civic Type R on track.
Both the N and Civic Type R come without the numb front end without mods.
@@AgroAaronFpv Oh, I didn't know about the engine too up front. It's bad for weight distribution and promotes understeer. I understand it was a sacrifice for a more spacious cabin.
Car does look good in red!
Now can a dealership in my city PLEASE get a DCT Veloster N in stock!? I have been wanting to test drive one since late last year. This is the perfect combination of a hot hatch from everything I've watched/read, and the 10 year warranty is enough to keep my Hyundai/Kia group recall worries at bay.
Ever find one? A dealership by me has a '22 marked up to $37k. Yikes
@@teirvin no and they are out of production now. Elantra N is selling at MSRP + “mandatory” dealer installed clear bra, tint, etc for $2,500. That makes the Elantra N over $38k OTD
I find myself split on this car a bit. My 2018 GTI doesn’t have an LSD so it is being replaced. Initially I thought the Veloster N was a slam dunk, but I’m not quite so sure after shopping. I can get a GTI at a discount but the dealer experience with Hyundai hasn’t been promising as the supply is short and prices at MSRP or higher. I find myself wrestling with saving $5,000 that I can spend on making the suspension what I want via modest items like Koni shocks, a rear swaybar, etc. Maybe I’m spoiled after several years in the GTI. Kudos to Hyundai and Biermann as they are kicking some serious ass.
If only Honda would actually build a legitimate successor to the CRX. This should’ve been the CRZ Honda didn’t give us.
Go drive one. The Veloster is significantly more fun then a GTI imo.
@@jjchockey If I can find one I will. Probably a manual though. Omaha Nebraska doesn’t see many of these.
I chose the GTI. I liked the better comfort, quality, and aftermarket support at the end of the day.
@@phildo1048 Ya. Both are fantastic cars. Just depends what you value more. Refinement and comfort or driving dynamics and fun.
My niece has the older one of these, she has had some minor upgrades done to it & loves the thing, no drama with service & never given her a problem, also it blows the doors off her brothers car, Rj in Oz
I wonder if the warranty department said make that over-boost button less enticing to press? Im guessing there were many meetings arguing about it.
@LPF Yeah, I think that’s the point Matthew is making. Make it less enticing so that people don’t use it as it will cause more problems and cost Hyundai more money with all the warranty repairs.
You're dead right. That's something I would've argued about in a meeting lol. Some things that seem so simple have had a stupid amount of arguments over.
I think the button is to much of a gimmick just add 15 to 20 more HP to the engine stock toss the button and call it a day.
@@cindysue5474 I guarantee some component has in the tech description lifetime limit x (x+10% for up to 100h over lifetime max 1m per occourance) so the engineers said well technically we can run at +5% fuel delivery at press of button. I work for tier 1 auto supplier and most of out requirements have similar clauses. Otherwise the 15 extra HP for full lifetime would be some robustness package with additional piece price.
Haha, I'm certain I'll be pressing it a bit more often if it had a grinning devil emoji on it rather than "GNS" on that button.
Love my Elantra Sport. 4 years with it and I'm still not tired of it. Going to be keeping it around for a while. I would totally get one of these if I could pay cash for it. Unfortunately that's not possible and I'm not keen to jump into another car loan at the moment...
Aye! I'm pulling up on a year of the ES and love it. I really need to get more into mods xD.
Really nice of then to update the infotainment unlike the japanese.
I would really like those silver accents on the ac vents like on the last years elantra. Very simple yet very effective.
The Nixie tube skeuomorphic radio is cool!
Points for id'ing nixie tubes 👍
5:40 couldn't say it better Zack 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I own a 2020 Veloster N so I’m a bit biased, but the car is so fun to drive and absolutely a steal for what your getting for the money. I’m sad my year didn’t get the new seats and new MMI. The slightly older MMI is perfectly fine though. No issues and it still feels new. The seats is the older ones are just ok. The new seats look so much better though. I don’t think you can swap them in either. It’s my weekend car as I drive a work truck throughout the week. It does have little start up/cold start issues sometimes. I’m not sure if they have worked them out in the newer years but it’s not really a big deal. The difference between the “comfort” drive mode and the most aggressive “N” mode is shocking. It really does feel like 2 different cars. Of course once you find your custom settings that works for you, that’s pretty much all you use. Unless ripping it at a track or driving your parents around.
Awesome to hear as I continue to contemplate a purchase. This DCT in combination with the "Jekyll and Hyde" modes really does seem to be the best of both worlds. Excited to go for a test drive soon.
what cold start issues do you get?
@@supwitaids1 so sometimes it cold starts a little rough, and if you have it on N mode or custom mode with all the engine bits on full sport+ it’s a bit jerky when the engine isn’t warmed up yet. Again really not a big deal at all.
You can swap the new seats in. The problem will be finding a set.
@@Booshka823 there’s a guy on Instagram who purchased them direct from Hyundai. They sell all the OEM N parts like upgraded forged wheels and the seats. The seats actually have an even nicer suede inner part instead of the cloth on the factory illuminated seats. Cost? Probably astronomically high.
Zack- heard you bro, they do give you an extra door 🤣🤣👌🏽
Man i remember when Honda CRX was a thing and I wanted one so bad.. I really feel like this car is going to spur that craze again. Such a cool looking hot hatch with the performance to back it up.
did anyone else get any weird color issues when they swapped to a camera outside the car?
Yeah, must have been a video compression thing?
If the Elantra N that's coming later this year has the all the bells and whistles that this doesn't (cooled front seats, wireless charging/carplay, sunroof, etc.) I will 100% buy it. Hyundai is making some great enthusiast cars these days
Should try the "rally car" style launch control with this DCT
2 step?
Wow. Great job, Hyundai.
I really like this. I was just thinking today I want a DCT
I don't mind the 3-door thing, but I wish it was the other door. You're most likely going to use it for groceries or a kid or whatever and you just want to open the door behind the driver's door, throw it in, and be on your way. As-is you have to walk almost entirely around the car to buckle in a kid or throw 3 bags of groceries in there, and that sucks. As-is the configuration is good for uber drivers, and that's about it.
.
I drove the R and was quite impressed with it for the price. I'd love to drive the N with more power. Though I think I'd go with the 6sp. That 6sp shifter feels great, it's right up there with Honda in my book, it's a rock solid shifter, feels great.
I wouldn't mind driving this !
That's freaky how the camera in the chase car renders the car and some of the surrounding scenery in color and the rest in black-and-white.
Zack mentioned it was an editing software glitch/bug.
I couldn't quite justify the Veloster when I made my last purchase, and ended up getting a Forte GT manual. While, obviously not the N, it's a pretty good 80% (more?) representation in a more subtle package. I'd like to see you guys review one. Love it, or hate it, it makes no difference to me. I like it, and that's what matters wen I send in that payment every 6th of the month.
I have the 2020 Veloster N manual, and the suspension in N mode is very harsh riding.
In custom mode I put the suspension in normal mode, steering in sport and everything else in N mode and its just about perfect.
No wonder they felt it was a "little firm", the suspension in N mode is for really smooth race tracks only.
10:37 Zak kept that little slide so neutral 👌
Currently driving a 2019 civic si that I love but moved to a busy city and sit in traffic everyday… thinking about getting one of these now
love them my son had first year few tweeks and they rip
13:42. I'm just here for the safe passing and sporting but not obnoxious exhaust. Some day you should do a canyon descent colllab with SAFA Brian.
Another great review but something is up with your camera recording or encoding, even at 4k (2160p60) there is so much pixilation and discoloring, as if it was over compressed, especially during motion.
Definitely exporting with a really low bit rate.
I would love to upgrade my 2016 Veloster Turbo with the DCT to a 2021 Veloster N DCT. I've owned the car for 3.5 years now and I have to agree that, while the 3 door hatch is an interesting concept, I think the large driver's side door makes it a little more difficult to park in a tight garage. That being said, I love it and I'd still buy it again based on the price vs the Fiesta and Focus STs at the time I was purchasing. I have heard other channels talk about the DCT model's exhaust not sounding nearly as good as the manual and I've seen a few bolt up the manual exhaust on the DCT. I'm curious just how much of a difference it makes lined up next to one another in person.
Foot-pound or Pound-foot works either way since it’s multiplied force over distance
Damn that canyon is beautiful, so is the car
You guys have some crazy compression issues going on with your externally mounted cams lately. Gotta increase that bitrate!
Ikr! I though for some reason It went down to 480p for a sec
I raised the bitrate by 50% about a month ago. We also switched to Hero9s. I wonder if that's doing it. Sometimes the Hero 9 records in HVEC 265, sometimes in a normal HEVC 264 (which has been our standard for years). We updated the firmware on the 9s this week. Hopefully that helps. ZK
Was that a Taycan Cross Turismo in the background?
was looking for this comment , surprised it’s not further up😂
Love my manual veloster n. Came from a nd miata. The veloster is the perfect daily
Fiesta ST #1, we need it back in the US.
Waiting for the new Elantra N with four doors 👊🙏💯🏁
same here im hopping it has these seats
I usually skip the ads but I wonder if that little thing could power my telescope on astronomy trips. Also chase cam seems like it is dying or has a setting wrong.
Bravi! 👏🏻
Matt, did you ever recover your book you left on that flight?!?
Can’t wait for the Kona N
Love my N
@5:52 [Teenage Zack's mother knocking on the bathroom door] "What are you doing in there Zack? What's taking so long? Do I need to call a the doctor?"
I wish Hyundai would have released the i30N 4-dr hatch in Canada and the US. It would have been a great contender in the same space as the GTI. With only 3 doors and that wing, the Veloster is just a bit too aggressive for my taste.
This is my next car.. unless the Elantra N (not the N Line model) changes my mind.
this car became my dream car
Car is wicked fast hot hatch
Wish speed3 would make a comeback!
They kinda did without the name. They got the new hatch with the optional AWD 2.5 turbo setup. Only in auto though which kinda turns me off because no mazdaspeed 3 came in auto only in manual option.
Should have called that ngs button the GBG “go baby go”.
This reminds me of a more hopped up version of my 14 Mazda 3 2.5 GT
the rear suspension was changed on this year?
As someone who owns a 2018 Swift and actually being on a frezny with the new i30 N Perf, which I am getting in few months, I am so pissed that the Veloster is not being sold in EU countries. Most likely I would go for that over the new i30N Facelift, but hey. The fact alone that we are talking about Performance quality cars, HYUNDAI cars, says alot for the company.
Hey Matt, the amazon link does not work.
im glad i got the manual N .
What about the Leon seat cupra 300?
So it's a front wheels drive evo mr?
Hyundai is going nuts in a good way - they just premiered the Kona N (full N)
Bought a 2021 manual very recently, should be taking it to the track very soon for my final verdict, but so far it's not just hype for sure ! It's veeeery good, and it makes a great daily as well, as long as you run the suspension in Normal lol.
I enjoyed your review. Parts were vague for me as I am not familiar with most of the other cars you reference. Some of that is on me. I am comparing with Tesla not VW or BMW. I love your spirited driving, long ago, I had a '70 Mach I Mustang with Ford's (no BS) competition suspension. Harsh but did what it was told. I put almost 100k hard miles on that car. Much of it on twisty mountain roads. I have recently been considering Tesla options... I knew Hyundai offered lots of tech features without having to buy the top trim models (Ford and GM, you know who I am outing). I like the tech, of which Tesla is easily king. I also believe in always having a plan B. So I have been learning about Hyundai models.
Lol "this person is going abysmally slow" 😂 ironically that person was driving a wonderful canyon car.
Love the car want to see a dct with borla exhaust
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 shift 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?
I assume you're referring to using the paddles? In N mode the car will not upshift for you which means you can run it well up into red line. It also won't prevent you from downshifting into a dangerously high rpm. It will downshift for you only when you're driving slow in a high gear.
Do you always grab the “oh shit!!” Handle when Zack’s driving?
I think I'm having a problem with mine. I put the gear lever into N mode for extra power, and the car doesn't go anywhere. It just revs like crazy. Any tips?
Hell yeah
You try turning it off, waiting 5 minutes then turning it back on again?
Maybe try shifting it into "P" for "power mode".
If you go to M you'll get more power
I like the big doors cause my fish-eyes is not being blocked by B-pillar... N's engine and DCT transmission combined with Kona's AWD system would make a potent combo.
What percent chance do you think the Kona N (being unveiled tomorrow IIRC!) will have an AWD option? It might just end up being the one to buy if they don't jack the price to $36K+
@@corey31 no AWD :-(
NICE Hyundai’s been killing it lately
Own a DCT in Black with over 2100 miles and enjoy driving it everyday!!
It's good
Is it bad that as a die hard Honda enthusiast, I feel like my next car is going to be a DCT Hyundai Veloster N over a Type R?
Planning on trading in my ‘16 fiesta ST for one of these bad boys.
you had to settle the exhaust on sport + to have the very nice "pop's"
