I have owned my Veloster N Performance Pack for almost nearly 2 years now and I absolutely love it. I have 20k miles on it and have had zero issues. Stable, powerful, and an truly fun car to drive. Buy one you will love it!
@@therealjulez7886 I am keeping mine stock, however my friends in our N Club Florida have done all kinds of mods. Check them out at our Instagram sites @nclubfl & my site at @veloster_N_Fan_Club 😎🤙
@@velosternfanclub6272 will check them, its funny a bunch of Veloster N owners I've spoken to also say they will be keeping it stock.. just shows how good this car is right from the factory.
@@therealjulez7886 I put a Forge intake and inlet on my 22 DCT, but only because I got it for half price lightly used. The car is very quick and well sorted from the factory 👌🏻
Thank you Randy and MotorTrend ! This as well as The Miata RF have been tops on my list for a new ride.After reading you for many years hope I can get one before I go for the RF that is in my area :) !
The telemetry is awesome. Context would help with the track time. You provide a number for the lap .... is that fast? What other cars do the track at that time? You know ... context.
Hi Randy. My name is Jacques and I have a humble request? First some context, I have both a 2020 Veloster N Perf Pac. and a 2018 Widebody Dodge Hellcat 6MT. I live in So. Cal. and have run them both at Big Willow. I have yet to see a proper timed video with a pro driver at the wheel of a Widebody Hellcat or Redeye running at Big Willow??? My lap times in both cars are nearly identical although two completely different and entertaining experiences! So my request is, Randy, (Mr. Hotshoe) PLEASE CAN YOU LAP A WIDEBODY HELLCAT or REDEYE AT BIG WILLOW FOR US FANS??? Thanx in advance. J.G. P.S. you can use my 6MT Widebody Hellcat if you want to lap a manual. I had to order it to get one. Let me know Mr. Hot Shoe!
Well, Hyundai just announced info about the 2021 Veloster N. The price is going up $5k. Gulp. But it does now include the Performance Package as a standard feature. The 2021 Hyundai Veloster N should arrive at U.S. dealerships later this year or early in 2021, starting at $33,245 with the six-speed manual and $34,745 with the dual-clutch automatic.
PP was 29,885 so it is a 3360 increase which gets you updated seats and extra safety tech. The ~5K is if you compare it to the original non PP version. Some may see it as worth the increase *shrug*. The new seats are lighter...
Yes, the non-performance pack isn't offered anymore but removing a trim level does not mean we add that cost difference to the existing model's price increase. We just lost a 27K choice from the market.
Got my Velo N non PP brand new for 26k out the door I wanted PP but couldn't beat the price but I gotta say I love this car its amazing and so much fun
I love my N too but your STI will win from light to light off the dig since you have AWD, a highway pull?? Would be interesting and very close I think! Out on the track the N. is an effective weapon against the Subi.
One thing people over look is when you turn on the headlights it projects a N...this car so cool and I never see it People take pics of it all the time
Since my wife can't drive a stick, I was looking forward to the dual clutch automatic, but then Hyundai jacked it up with a $5,000 price increase if you want that model. 28-29K for a Veloster N with the DCT sounded good, but 34-35K sounds a lot less good.
Standard Macpherson strut + front wheel drive nose weight = Pirelli P Zero front tyre roll = understeer. Civic Type R has a premium engineered dual axis suspension to keep much more of the tyre patch on the tarmac.
"And I heard a rumor that might be a DCT on the way" The 8 speed DCT is available and already on sale long ago in Korea. It is also available here in the U.S and you can check it out on the website
I have the 2019 N in Chalk White ... love the car. For time comparisons ... from fastestlaps.com ... it sits between the Toyota Supra Twin turbo @1:39.00 and the Audi RS4 @1:39.32 full list here. fastestlaps.com/tracks/willow-springs
Going to commerce this weekend for rematches if the weather holds--we all got rainchecks from last week so we get to race in the first brackets--but that zeta storm is hitting GA and we might have flooding--fingers crossed--i have some fords and chevy fan boys to sting.
I expected a faster lap time. Stock power brz/frs with SX2 tires are running mid 1:30s. Oh well I still think it’s a dope car! Best bang per buck especially the dct.
Yeah, yeah, and yeah. We are impressed by the N but I still have not grown to the asymmetrical styling of the Veloster. Can't they just transfer the goods on the more attractive Elantra GT? That would be a hot hatch plus you wouldn't have the blindspots.
To me the 2021 N model is less of a bargain. They are increasing the MSRP with useless safety tech. It's the same car minus the better factory seats and the optional bbk and wet 8sp dct. Get a 2020 unless you want the dct
You know for pirelli being a more expensive tire, they really are not that special. Yeah they grip fairly well but their treadlife, wear, and nvh are usually worse than the other really major brands like michelin, yokohama, continental and goodyear. Lets be honest, you hardly see people driving with pirelli tires anymore. Its mainly michelins on performance cars.
Wait for the Toyota GR Corolla. Will eat this for lunch, Awd, at least 265hp may be more if they use a new 4chkinder engine if not the 3cylinder in the GR Yaris can be tuned to 300hp already from the factory. Anymore would be pushing it though. Such a shame they didn’t bring the GR Yaris over, Light and powerful.
I bought the type R civic blind (No test drive was available) I drove it for a week and was so unimpressed by the digital feel of it, I took it back to the dealer and made the GSM take it back full refund. Two weeks later I found my Perf Pack Velo N in chalk white and never looked back. WAAAAAAY MORE FUN and engaging as a drivers car. Saved 10k as well.
This thing will be worth $10k less in 5 yrs whilee a TypeR will still be in the high $20k like $26k after 5 yrs. Because Hondas just appreciates better and last longer than Hyundais.
RUclips now has rules about declaring sponsorships. It does sort of seem like another in a string of commercials. It’s still interesting, even as a commercial
@@curtisfisher1028 unfortunately that's not true. The theta II (2.4 and 2.0 turbo ) is a complete disaster of a motor. There is an ongoing recall to replace any that are knocking, seized etc.

I've had my N for a year now and can say that it is a great car. I do not regret getting it one bit.
From my last autocross, this car won second place, first in pax time. Very fast around corners.
You talking about the black one at Kilkare?
Manual or DCT?
I bought the Performance Pack Veloster N in July. Pobst is right, its fun. I love my N.
Got mine in June, just needs a bit more power and boom! Absolutely perfect.
Just got mine a few weeks ago. Drove the whole segment and was most impressed by this.
Yeah. Cool car.
same
The DCT isn't a rumor. It's already on sale here in Korea. You'll certainly see it in the US.
My local dealer said they expect to get the 2021 VT N w/DCT around mid-January.
@@CodyRT9120 Awesome! Of course, the stick is more fun. But the dct is so much more practical.
@@johnholst I have a 1999 Miata for driving stick. The Veloster N would be my fun daily driver.
@@CodyRT9120 Perfect then! The dct is quite efficient too!
The Veloster N with DCT is my dream car, i plan on buying one when i have the money!
118 mph impressive. Can't wait for Randy to track the N-DCT, soon.
veloster >>> GTI
The N DCT is significantly better than VW's DSG 👌🏻
How about a standings list at the end of each of these in how it compares to others tested
Posting some comparison hot track times would be nice.
fastestlaps.com/tracks/willow-springs
It landed between an audi RS4 and I presume a modified TT supra
@@nickgreen-virginiarealesta4971 Yup. Definitely pretty good company in my opinion lol
They ran the CTR here - ran a 1:34 on the stock tire and a 1:32 on a set of 18" Yokohama's... as a reference point.
Good to me.
Freaking love my Veloster N
Just bought mine last week.
how u liking it?
Its sooo good
Remove resonators and add a throttle body spacer
@@compacheo603 best car I've ever owned! Had a golf r before this
How is it compared to the R
Thank you Randy and MotorTrend ! This as well as The Miata RF have been tops on my list for a new ride.After reading you for many years hope I can get one before I go for the RF that is in my area :) !
Love your videos Randy!! You’ve always been one of my favorite drivers and TV car personalities!!!
It’s been confirmed that a DCT will be available next year Car and Driver reported on it
More like next month
Why would you buy that
Why not?
@@bonifaciomagdiwang1697 With hot hatches a good manual gearbox is a lot more fun and involving to drive.
More like it's available right now and I've already seen a few for sale. So far it seems like people aren't liking them as much as the manuals.
Good Engine.... Reasonable Price....What a nice car....
The telemetry is awesome. Context would help with the track time. You provide a number for the lap .... is that fast? What other cars do the track at that time? You know ... context.
Agreed that should have a leaderboard or show comparable vehicles like the CTR and mini

Sucks, it was retailed as a car under 30k. Now it’ll stack up closer to the type r
Got my Velo N non PP brand new for 26k out the door I wanted PP but couldn't beat the price but I gotta say I love this car its amazing and so much fun
how amazing this is.. technical compliments from them.. how long it has been to get.. great job Hyundai.
Great review! Would be a bummer to lose one of these at a light in my stock STI haha - will have to keep an eye out for that N badge!
I have an N with the performance pack, but an STI would beat it
@@fernnoli that’s good to know! I figured with that power and less weight it would be pretty close.
@@ajw828 it is close!

@@Mechaniclemaniac on my way to Mexico to find one 🇲🇽
If I were living in the city again, I would own one already.
Why don't you compare lap time to other cars?
It's not a review channel. It's a shill channel

Years after this car was revealed, every video seems like they need to explain N is like BMW M. Anyone watching this video already knows.
I wish they'd stop talking about spec sheets and concentrate on their take driving it. We can all google the specs.
Would really like to see a tachometer on these videos
There’s one in the speedometer on the right, kinda hard to read though
@@ThePSkillz That's not a tach, it's just the analog speedo.
@@josephcitizen4195 oh shoot it is, I swear it was moving more when I watched it the first time lol 😂
Please do a "hot lap" review of the new VW Golf R. It does well in the 0 to 60 tests, but how does it handle?
Would love to daily one with dual clutch here in LA traffic.
So much fun 🙌
The 2021 is already out on lots.
excellent review - thanks.
Ooh 235 x 19" wheels. My 2012 diesel Ford Mondeo (or Fusion in the US) has 235 x 19" !
Wow, would you look at that, a sports car normal people can afford.
Most importantly this car has ten year warranty. Great value to run on track.
My third Velo is this one and I’m 40,000 plus and can’t get enough
Since SSC I have a hard time trusting digital speeds on the screen
I used to root for Randy Pobst back when he was racing for Audi. Always fun to watch. But Willow Springs is looking rough these days.
Same as 1989 LT1. Cars sure have advanced.
Claro que se a avanzado la mitad del caballaje con el mismo tiempo LT1 450hp
Veloster 275hp
Looks sick 👍
I love mine!
They need to make it in rwd would be awesome
Standard Macpherson strut + front wheel drive nose weight = Pirelli P Zero front tyre roll = understeer.
Civic Type R has a premium engineered dual axis suspension to keep much more of the tyre patch on the tarmac.
Can't compare Honda tech to Hyundais
Well you pay for the additional engineering in the type r. The type r has a better chassis. The veloster overrides the existing platform.
We need him in a DCT version!
i like that the "N" word.
Nice job

Why not add a V8 and twin turbos?

A brz? Highly doubt that.
1:37.xx Stock class……

New veloster N with the new DCT
Clean machine
where do you put the front plate
There's a wide horizontal beam (crash bar) that is behind/part of the large grill. And car comes with a plate mount that has 3 screws that go into it.
I LOVE MINE
Base N hone great value
Very cool cars. Best sounding turbo 4 cylinder on the road
Yeah, yeah, and yeah. We are impressed by the N but I still have not grown to the asymmetrical styling of the Veloster. Can't they just transfer the goods on the more attractive Elantra GT? That would be a hot hatch plus you wouldn't have the blindspots.
