Great review, Matt! As a 2021 6-speed manual owner I can’t agree more with how much fun this car is. Your review of the manual sealed the deal for me on purchasing this car and I’m so glad I did. Puts a huge smile on my face every time I get into it.
Garrett, did you write the president of Hyundai North America and let him/her know that this channel was instrumental in your purchase; that would be a nice plug for Matt.
Garrett, does the rear visibility not bother you at all? That's my main concern with the car, otherwise it seems like a no-brainer, especially with the 6 speed you got. And which color did you get?
@@JEtienneMusic I’m not Garrett, but I’d say it’s…….fine. I already backed into a pole at the gas station with mine but that’s when I was new to driving it. Just really get to know the dimensions and you’ll be good.
I’ve had mine for a month or so put 1000 miles on it so far car is a absolute blast. 10/10 recommend for the price you will not regret it. Get in and whip it around for 10 mins your gunna be hooked.
If this is any sign of the future of Hyundai, I'm well prepared to wait for the main show to start. Good job Hyundai on STILL knocking out the park in today's times we live in. And by the way, I'm even more excited to see your future performance car review JUST BECAUSE the baby seat segment! THANK YOU! Keep up the great work!
@@MattMaranMotoring Yea the baby seat segment is a GREAT way to offer something up that other reviewers dont. I often find myself asking if I can fit my kids seat in the back.
Nice. How great does It drive. I want to get one In a few years. I recently bought a 2021 Civic Hatchback and want to get a car that's more sporty for a weekend type of car also.
@@beast11135 I came from a '19 Civic Si which, while it's good in and of itself, can't hold a candle to the N. I didn't bother to test out a Type R because it was a little more than I wanted to spend, but the N handles so good it makes you feel like a better driver than you know you are. It's got all the power I need for my local roads and the sounds it makes are sublime. I never thought I would own a Hyundai... And especially not a performance Hyundai this good.
If you are on the fence about this car over the GTI, Camaro, Mustang, Civic Si/R, Mazda3 turbo, or used versions of: BMW2, Merc C/A classes, Audi A3, go test drive this. Seriously. I own/owned: ‘18 Camaro ZL1, ‘16 S63 AMG coupe, ‘14 E350, ‘00 SL500, etc and drove many more cars, most recently my friend’s 991.2 C2S. I traded in my former daily E350 for the Veloster N w a DCT. It is such a fun car and looks so good in person. A remarkable car really. Test drive it and you will have a hard time picking the competitors.
I’ve decided to get a Veloester N manual as my next car, pretty much the only performance mod I’d do is swap the wheels and tires for an 18 inch wheel and some PS4S tires for summer and Blizzaks for winter and then I think it’d be a perfect little daily! Thanks for the amazing reviews over the years!
Are blizzaks the best winter tires you’ve driven? I’m a religious Michelin guy so I put ps4s on all my cars but I’ve heard some good things about Blizzaks. I’d lean Alpin just to stay with Michelin but if the Bridgestones are that good I’d consider them for winter. I’m in Portland, OR for reference so our winters are pretty mild all things considered.
Been driving Ford truck for the last 10 yrs so on, but driving new I30N just re-initiated my passion for a long country side driving again, On Saturday 4am I wake up and have my own time away from work & family...,, it is just a healing........
@Abhisar Choubey well some recent Hyundai's I've driven and have hired as a rental have been terrible and friends who have owned them regretted them quickly after purchase. But this is the first Hyundai that has genuinely sparked my interest.
Bought my 21 DCT about a month ago and Matt nails every talking point about this car! This is the most thorough review of the Veloster N DCT on TH-cam. Mine came with Pilot Sport 4 A/S and they're pretty confidence inspiring and do really well in wet conditions. Although if I could change anything about the car it would be to move to 18 inch wheels with thicker sidewall tires for a little more rim protection and a slightly softer ride. Otherwise I plan to keep it stock for the warranty. I've used NGS as a "push to pass" button on two lane highways (we have a lot of them in TX), the biggest benefit being a one touch button to get the car into the lowest gear. I think the ideal time to hit NGS for a quick 0-60 is right at the top of first gear. Overall, really happy with this car and excited to autocross it next weekend! Thanks for the awesome review Matt!
Congrats on your new Veloster and I’m glad you liked the video! Thanks for sharing your ownership experience and I hope you have many happy miles in yours!
I'm 45 and daily driver of a 22 VN. This car put a smile on my face. If you like twisty roads this car is a blast to drive. 19s on michelin pilot sport and its a night and day handling.
@@jamilinbixler3284 well it's a Hyundai. In four months you'll find tons of used fully loaded ones with like 15k miles for half the price. Depreciation is cool.
@@SaintMecha you’re exaggerating. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few months then you’d know there’s a massive microchip shortage that has halted the production of many new cars which in turn has increased the demand for used cars that has caused the prices to increase dramatically. Stop dreaming. Even if you could afford a new or used veloster N, which I do believe you can. You wouldn’t be here posting about how a car you don’t own is such a good deal. You sound like one of those little kids that wants every car but in reality has no car even if you aren’t.
@@karleslit7975 show me where you can buy one from a dealer for msrp. Lol they may tell you that until you get to the dealer and sit down. 😂. The previous post is right and the car market is one of the many things being affected by this chip shortage. Which is supposed to last until late 2022, do to all the backed up orders now. In regarding the car market it is in the sellers favor right now and will be for sometime. Are you not aware of this? Idk how you can't be. As many factories have been shutdown or put on hold do to this semicownductor chip shortage. Ford, Vw, Jaguar & Land Rover have already stated production to be cut in half this quarter alone. Highly effected vehicles are Mustang,F150, and Escape to name a few. Many workers laid off, this has been happening since late March. Go see how much your car is worth and I can guarantee if it is something recently new, you can get very close to what you paid for it new. For instance. I bought my N this time LAST year. Car has 6k miles on it(I have another car I daily an srt4). I bought it cash OTD for 30,500. Right now if I wanted to I could sell it instantly for a quoted price of $28,500. This is crazy. So for $2k I got to drive an N around for a little over a year,, if I sell it. It's very tempting to sell as I truly do not "need" the car.
Another phenomenal review, way to go Matt! He just nails all the salient points each and every time. I hope to buy a 2020 in manual in a year or two. None to be found now
Fantastic review Matt, one of your best and has convinced me that this should be my next car. Most reviewers have their cars for a few hours but your week long review in one video gave way more detail than other reviews for the Veloster N. All your reviews should be week long reviews.
I was waiting for you to do this review. Just test drove one a couple days ago, same color too. It’s awesome, I love it. As soon as my lease is up in a couple months I really want to get one. The DCT is really good in this car, as someone who deals with heavy traffic on the regular it’s a great option to have.
Love your videos. You helped me decide on used kia forte5 sx earlier this year. Not in the market for a car now but still enjoy the thoroughness of your videos. Also love the coined "lets turn down this back road" phrase. Cheers!
Don't know if you mentioned it, but the DCT version comes with -1.7 degrees of camber up front versus the manual which is factory set at -.7 degrees. This really helps tire wear if you track or autocross.
Always liked these cars! Looks like you really enjoyed that drive, nice review Matt! 👍 When they first came out I was choosing between this, a Golf R, and (yea this one is out of left field), a Fiat 124 Spider Abarth. Owning an M3 in the past, having Albert Biermann be part of the Veloster N was great. I ended up choosing a Golf R DSG (first automatic in over 10yrs). Loved it, went Stage 2, shifted so damn fast…but after a few years I really missed the engagement and fun factor of a true manual car. So not long ago I got myself into a Fiat 124 Spider Abarth. I think they look absolutely stunning, and since I always regretted selling my S2000 in the past, the 124 really grabbed my attention. Super happy I went with it; although it’s not the fastest, it’s definitely one of the funnest and never fails to put a smile on your face! Currently tuning it up. But a Veloster N would make a great second car to have and enjoy for me I feel (maybe once prices go down I’ll scoop one up); or a great only car as well depending on what you need. Launch control with a dual-clutch is fun as hell though 😈 That is one thing I miss about the Golf R DSG…just being able to launch it with ease whenever you want.
I'm glad you liked the video! That's awesome that you own a 124 Abarth, they didn't seem to get much love sadly, even though I also think they look and sound great.
@Matt Maran Motoring Yea they definitely seemed to fly under the radar. Now that they stopped production it seems more people are wanting them though 😂
Matt, I definitely get lots of understeer in my 2020 manual N, you're just not pushing it hard enough. I test drove both the manual and DCT and the manual was just way more fun, and engaging and involving for the driver. I couldn't agree more Matt, the Veloster N put the biggest smile on my face compared to the competition. The sound alone is intoxicating. I test drove the Civic Type R and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner. Plus I much preferred the smaller size of the N. It's like a little go kart. The VW GTI is just boring compared to the N. The seats in my 2020 manual are much more comfortable than the new seats in the 2021.
The DCT in the Veloster N is a huge improvement compared to the past Hyundai/Kia models And they actually got the setup right which I don’t understand why every other brand except for Porsche go with the other setup
@@jonathantee5355 the shifter setup like a manual for example the lower gears are on the top while the higher gears are on the bottom this helps follow the momentum of the car as you're accelerating and decelerating However many other manufactures like BMW have it the other way around on their auto where you shift up to gear up and shift down to gear down but Porsche has it the right way as it's suppose to shift up to gear down and shift down to gear up as that follows the momentum of the car and Hyundai got it right with the Veloster N Does that make sense?
Only thing I wish Hyundai did was make the paddles longer and extend them to the end of the wheel, and mount them to the column, Ferrari/Lamborghini style.
Was waiting for your take on the DCT Matt. You hit every point. I got this car in December and i agree with everything you made. Pirelli P-Zeros were definitely not the best choice for this car. I’ll be swapping mine out for the Michelin pilot sport 4s when these P-Zeros’s are done. Love the manual but the DCT is an excellent compromise and i don’t feel like I’m missing out at all. I also find the seats firm but i love them. Great review as always Matt, congrats on your new addition to your family.🙏🏾
Thank you and congrats on your new N! Thanks for sharing your ownership thoughts! I always love hearing what owners think after longer periods of time.
I have a 2021 dct in the pb color and I love it...solid car..and is amazing in corners..the steering set in sport mode is so good..Hyundai did a really good job with this car..I really hope they continue to improve this car..especially with some more hp and tq. I'm all for giving up the nicer interior for a bump to 300HP and more tq..lol...awesome review!
Unfortunately, I heard 2022 is the last Veloster they are making. I guess car companies don't want to make hatchbacks anymore because less and less people are buying it.... *sigh* I feel like these compact SUVs break down much easier and don't offer as much as these hatches. If I was a lil older and saved more money this would definitely be a consideration. As of now, Ive been window shopping and this has been on my list for as long as I can remember. People are sleeping on Hyundai now a days...
Their inhouse new DCT is just for FWD. All full N DCT cars(i30N, Kona N, I20N, Elantra N, Veloster N) are just FWD. I don't see them putting more money in a new transmission now. (Stinger and G70 used the same transmission from the Genesis Coupe) and from what N boss says they're focusing on cheap fun not power and numbers. So mid powerful engine + FWD.
Great vid man! I was looking for reviews for the future new i30 N 2021, and I think this is the most approximate I could get, as we don't have the veloster version in EU. Thank you! P. D.: I managed to view the entire video, didn't lose excitement at all though it, good job.
The generation it's based on came out in 2018 right? There's been a lot of change and new technology in the last few years and yeah the Veloster just became lapped by rivals quickly after it released. I most want to see an updated exterior design and the interior needs an update with the latest tech.
@@PerfectCode What competitors are better in your opinion? The new GTI doesn't arrive till this fall, is more expensive and slower. Interior tech in this is still better than Civic Type R too. There's basically no other rivals at this price point. This car is an affordable hot hatch. Loading it up with as much tech as a Genesis would balloon the price, which everyone would complain about.
I've been talking about the Veloster (non-N) variants. But I think the 4th-generation Mazda3 Hatchback is a much better option than the Velosters. Even the Mazda3 Turbo in the same price range of the Veloster N, unless you want the nicer sound of the Veloster N's exhaust or its DCT or manual transmission. It's clear that the Veloster has aged quickly in today's auto industry where technology and electronics has finally had a much faster rate of change. Look at the lighting on the exterior of today's Veloster. Look at the infotainment and the instrument cluster in it; it's practically the same on the Turbo Ultimate and N model Hyundai Veloster as it is on Hyundai's entry-level Venue. Hyundai's and Kia's own latest models of the last two years have also created a significant gap in interior technology and material quality between the 2nd-generation Veloster. It has "only" been three years since the 2nd-gen Veloster's release, but it's time for the Veloster to get some sleaker exterior styling, better exterior lighting, and a higher quality, more high-tech interior on par with Hyundai's latest. Otherwise the current Veloster model range is just not compelling enough; unless you're only after the Veloster N and its exhaust and DCT or manual transmission.
@@PerfectCode Ah, well as far as the non-N goes, there aren't many hatchbacks to choose from which might be part of why they didn't feel the need to do things like put the 10 inch screen in. The Subaru Impreza for example is just as dated. The Mazda3 hatch is nice, but keep in mind that all those nicer things drive the price up a lot. Horsepower wise it sits between the regular 2.0 Veloster and the Veloster Turbo, so it's a trade-off either way. Veloster 2.0 Premium is 5k less than a loaded Mazda3 Hatch, and a Turbo is about the same price as the Mazda3 with 15 more horsepower. Driving the two vehicles is a very different experience too, the Mazda feels much heavier and less sporty than the Veloster. I can see how on paper they seem comparable, but in my opinion they are tuned with very different missions in mind. All it takes for a prospective buyer to decide is a quick sit and test drive in the Mazda to see that they're trying to make it a Mercedes A-Class/Audi A3 competitor, not a Veloster competitor. Same goes with the Mazda3 Turbo, much less dynamic than the Veloster N. They have very different buyers, one wants a soft, luxurious car and the other wants a simpler, more traditional hatchback experience. Hyundai is kind of stuck because having a non-N being more expensive than the N doesn't make sense, and they deliberately left things like heated seats out of the N to keep the price down because the American buyer just wants the power and performance at an affordable price. Based on what they said, it doesn't seem like Hyundai has many Veloster buyers that want a luxury car interior. Honestly, it sounds like they don't sell many Velosters either so I honestly doubt it'll get a 3rd generation. Adding on features to drive up the price tag won't help sales in my opinion. Just my thoughts on the matter, sorry for the book lol.
As someone who drives a used ES350, torque steer off the line tickles my jimmies in a good way. Tire slipping for days is not fun, but with an E-LSD at least the Veloster N would be less slippy off the line. But there's something a bit dangerous feeling about torque steer that reminds you that you still need to pay attention to go fast.
@@MattMaranMotoring Oh for sure it'll be faster. That DCT trans helps so much. But the 320lb-ft torque might give a slight edge at the beginning for the Mazda.
@@tsenif Possibly, as could the AWD system, but from my memory of flooring both cars, the Veloster N DCT takes off way harder. Mazda tries to make everything smooth, so it's more progressive with its power delivery.
Hey Matt, long time viewer here since probably the 2013/14? Subaruwrxfan version of you. Would you, in the near future, be able to produce videos in 2160p? I love watching your reviews and noticed there’s no 4K option so just thought I’d ask. Great review as always and thanks for the entertainment for almost a decade!
Hey Coty, thanks for the longtime support! I may switch to 4K eventually, but there's 2 things that are holding me back currently from making the switch. First, I'd need to upgrade to a new computer to handle editing all the 4K footage. The main thing though is that according to TH-cam analytics, nearly 70% of my views come from mobile devices where 4K footage can't even be appreciated.
Spot on review Matt! I bought the 2021 N almost three weeks ago and it's fun every time! I did a shakedown cruise by driving down to VA (a 6 hour trip for me). For yuks I drove in ECO mode (didn't feel like it honestly) the whole way to help break in the engine in and save on gas (Thanks Pipeline Ransomware Hackers!). I managed to get 39 mpg according to the onboard comp (I have photo evidence!). On the way back I was less conservative and still managed to get around 36 mpg. When that was done, went back to Sport & Sport + and wiped away those numbers real quick! Thanks for the review and the info on the tires-I just swapped out the summer tires for all weather Michelin Pilot Sport tires and while they get the job done, feels a tad squishy when compared to the OE summer tires. Beats skidding off the road in a heavy rain though! Thanks again!
@@MattMaranMotoring ...and that was doing 65-70 on the interstate. Thankfully it was mostly flat so it made it easy. I'm not into hypermiling but it's good to know I can get better numbers when I need to!
Well, if any motoring enthusiast ever says a DCT makes a better car than a manual, they are categorically NOT a motoring enthusiast... Yes it makes a quicker accelerating car, but never a better car. If you love manuals, and love performance, you'll love he DCT... for a while... then you'll end up missing the gear changing and that relationship between you and the car that only a manual can create... that enthusiasts driving experience only a manual can provide. Hyundai really do make some terrific cars these days... and it's great that this comes in both DCT and manual... as there are people who can't drive manuals, or just don't have a manual license... and the DCT is the next best thing after a manual.
I don't understand the NGS gimmick. If it's only providing a few more lb-ft of torque like that, it can't possibly be too much for internals to handle, so why limit it to just a few seconds? Why not just have that on all the time when the car is switched to Sports mode?
Emissions and MPG are the only reasons why they limit to 20 seconds every 3 minutes. This can make 300 hp without any reliability issues with a better down pipe.
Hey what's happening I've purchase a 2020 Hyundai veloster turbo r spec I've changed out the Mufflers and exhaust tips it's loud enough with all the pops gurgling and burbling especially in cold start and I've tested drive the veloster N with a six speed manual transmission and it's performance blue and thanks for sharing your videos with me and I saw you tested drive the Hyundai veloster turbo r spec 👋👍🙂♥️
Owned both the Dct and now own the manual. Both great but will say the manual is more engaging and funner. The manual exhaust is a lot louder. Manual is also cheaper which was nice when buying it.
Yea I think they did really great with this thing. I personally love the 6sp not only because I prefer manual transmissions, but because they did a very good job with the feel. I drove the r-spec, it's one of the best feeling shifters I've ever felt, right up there with Honda, very impressive. My only gripe with the veloster is I wish the rear door was in the driver's side for US market (left side). It'd make it hella more convenient to throw shopping bags or a back pack or whatever in the back seat.
@@jayespi37 Yea, I get that idea, but I feel like typically you'll more than likely be using it for your own purposes, for a car seat or groceries or a work bag/suitcase or whatever. I get their reasoning, but I can't even recall the last time I've picked somebody up on a curb. Is this really something a lot of people do every day? I feel like there's much better reasoning to say it should be on the same side as the driver's door. Also they made the front doors different lengths to make sure you suffer through the difficulties of a coupe in parking lots. If they wanted usable back seats why not just make it a 5 door?
happy the dct exists, but the cost was almost no manuals are available anywhere in the country. as someone in the market for this car with 3 pedals, this sucks.
10:31 Automatic is ALWAYS faster than the manual version. And just to let you know, 275 hp is a lot for that little hatchback so it will feel fast. Its not your average hatchback civic with 120 hp ...
One, they should have just made it a straight-on coupe. That rear seat is for small children, on very short trips; at best. If you need to get a car-seat back there, buy a base trim VW GTI instead. Two, the radio is garbage. Talking in terms of sound quality. Three, the interior plastics are as cheap as an Econo-box from the 1990s. Four, it takes Premium fuel. (BTW, GTI makes its power on Regular.) Honestly, if all you care about is performance and the exterior looks to match; this is your ride if you aren't rich. If you want a Sleeper that is more pragmatic to live with on a daily basis, especially if you're a young man with a wife and baby; get the GTI. Interior quality holding up over time? Honestly, they're both going to be terrible.
The driver interface on the new MK8 GTI is absolute garbage, the capacitive buttons are a non starter. The VN looks better, sounds better, is faster, has real buttons, and is more fun to drive, period. Four doors are boring and so is the GTI.
Hey what's happening I've purchase a 2020 Hyundai veloster turbo r spec I've changed out the Mufflers and exhaust tips and the spoiler N it's loud enough for me and it sets off cars alarm with all the pops gurgling and burbling especially in cold start & I tested drive the veloster N performance blue & I saw your other video when you're driving the Hyundai veloster turbo r spec & thanks for sharing your videos with me 👋👍🙂😂😅🚘♥️

Hey Matt. Great review. Very thorough and detailed. With all the features this car has, the price seems fair, that is of course if the dealership doesn’t sell it for over the msrp. With your review, you got me thinking about trading in my ‘19 Elantra GT N line. I just have to weigh wether the versatility of having 4doors is better for me. I will definitely have to checkout my local dealer to see the car for myself, but that’s dangerous.....if you know what I mean. Thanx for this review. I enjoyed it very much.
I did the exact same! Traded in my GT N Line last year for a Veloster N DCT. Cannot be happier with my choice. This car is so planted even at 100mph+ in corners. The GT N Line felt sketchy on going 85 mph in a straight line lol
Bro I feel ya. I just sold my 2020 challenger widebody scatpack for this very car and same color. I gotta say that the veloster n is much quicker and funner than my challenger. Only slightly slower in a straight line. I could get 4.5 sec 0-60 in the challenger vs 5.0 sec in the veloster n.
@@slimv3.162 I was getting tired of my mustang. I built it all wrong. It was heads, cams, cj, e85. Around town, it drove great, but was boring. A VN will be a lot more fun around town.
@@brooksallenyoung you will not be disappointed. The veloster is an amazing car especially when you look at price vs performance. I don't think you'll find a better car for the price.
@@hipolitorivera4631 Chip shortage on new cars, high demand for used cars, mark-ups on Veloster N’s…??? Probably not as bad in your area if you’re asking that
Love the car but there's absolutely no excuse in 2021 for a delay in touchscreen response. Imagine if you own this car for ten years and people wear AR glasses and you're there struggling with a 2-3 second delay to change a station.
Great review, Matt! As a 2021 6-speed manual owner I can’t agree more with how much fun this car is. Your review of the manual sealed the deal for me on purchasing this car and I’m so glad I did. Puts a huge smile on my face every time I get into it.

If you are on the fence about this car over the GTI, Camaro, Mustang, Civic Si/R, Mazda3 turbo, or used versions of: BMW2, Merc C/A classes, Audi A3, go test drive this. Seriously. I own/owned: ‘18 Camaro ZL1, ‘16 S63 AMG coupe, ‘14 E350, ‘00 SL500, etc and drove many more cars, most recently my friend’s 991.2 C2S. I traded in my former daily E350 for the Veloster N w a DCT. It is such a fun car and looks so good in person. A remarkable car really. Test drive it and you will have a hard time picking the competitors.
I’ve decided to get a Veloester N manual as my next car, pretty much the only performance mod I’d do is swap the wheels and tires for an 18 inch wheel and some PS4S tires for summer and Blizzaks for winter and then I think it’d be a perfect little daily! Thanks for the amazing reviews over the years!
Are blizzaks the best winter tires you’ve driven? I’m a religious Michelin guy so I put ps4s on all my cars but I’ve heard some good things about Blizzaks. I’d lean Alpin just to stay with Michelin but if the Bridgestones are that good I’d consider them for winter. I’m in Portland, OR for reference so our winters are pretty mild all things considered.
Been driving Ford truck for the last 10 yrs so on, but driving new I30N just re-initiated my passion for a long country side driving again, On Saturday 4am I wake up and have my own time away from work & family...,, it is just a healing........

@Abhisar Choubey well some recent Hyundai's I've driven and have hired as a rental have been terrible and friends who have owned them regretted them quickly after purchase. But this is the first Hyundai that has genuinely sparked my interest.
You make it sound like a bad thing
You can't really judge a car maker/model by rentals lmao you know they rent out base models mostly 🤦♂️
9:55 what everyone is waiting for 🤙🏼
I appreciate how you get straight to the review.
Bought my 21 DCT about a month ago and Matt nails every talking point about this car! This is the most thorough review of the Veloster N DCT on TH-cam.
Mine came with Pilot Sport 4 A/S and they're pretty confidence inspiring and do really well in wet conditions. Although if I could change anything about the car it would be to move to 18 inch wheels with thicker sidewall tires for a little more rim protection and a slightly softer ride. Otherwise I plan to keep it stock for the warranty.
I've used NGS as a "push to pass" button on two lane highways (we have a lot of them in TX), the biggest benefit being a one touch button to get the car into the lowest gear. I think the ideal time to hit NGS for a quick 0-60 is right at the top of first gear.
Overall, really happy with this car and excited to autocross it next weekend! Thanks for the awesome review Matt!
Congrats on your new Veloster and I’m glad you liked the video! Thanks for sharing your ownership experience and I hope you have many happy miles in yours!
I'm 45 and daily driver of a 22 VN. This car put a smile on my face. If you like twisty roads this car is a blast to drive. 19s on michelin pilot sport and its a night and day handling.
This DCT seems really good. The boost feature is really cool too. Veloster N is a great value sporty hatch.
Not a great value because you cannot get one without paying a markup. Your lucky if you get to pay asking price.
@@jamilinbixler3284 well it's a Hyundai. In four months you'll find tons of used fully loaded ones with like 15k miles for half the price. Depreciation is cool.
@@SaintMecha you’re exaggerating. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few months then you’d know there’s a massive microchip shortage that has halted the production of many new cars which in turn has increased the demand for used cars that has caused the prices to increase dramatically. Stop dreaming. Even if you could afford a new or used veloster N, which I do believe you can. You wouldn’t be here posting about how a car you don’t own is such a good deal. You sound like one of those little kids that wants every car but in reality has no car even if you aren’t.
@@jamilinbixler3284 I don’t know where you are but here in the Midwest there at MSRP
@@karleslit7975 show me where you can buy one from a dealer for msrp. Lol they may tell you that until you get to the dealer and sit down. 😂. The previous post is right and the car market is one of the many things being affected by this chip shortage. Which is supposed to last until late 2022, do to all the backed up orders now. In regarding the car market it is in the sellers favor right now and will be for sometime. Are you not aware of this? Idk how you can't be. As many factories have been shutdown or put on hold do to this semicownductor chip shortage. Ford, Vw, Jaguar & Land Rover have already stated production to be cut in half this quarter alone. Highly effected vehicles are Mustang,F150, and Escape to name a few. Many workers laid off, this has been happening since late March. Go see how much your car is worth and I can guarantee if it is something recently new, you can get very close to what you paid for it new. For instance. I bought my N this time LAST year. Car has 6k miles on it(I have another car I daily an srt4). I bought it cash OTD for 30,500. Right now if I wanted to I could sell it instantly for a quoted price of $28,500. This is crazy. So for $2k I got to drive an N around for a little over a year,, if I sell it. It's very tempting to sell as I truly do not "need" the car.
Had a 2020 6 speed for a few months I loved it! The super easy clutch and auto rev matching make it a dream to drive.
Another phenomenal review, way to go Matt! He just nails all the salient points each and every time. I hope to buy a 2020 in manual in a year or two. None to be found now
Fantastic review Matt, one of your best and has convinced me that this should be my next car. Most reviewers have their cars for a few hours but your week long review in one video gave way more detail than other reviews for the Veloster N. All your reviews should be week long reviews.
I want to pick one up by my wife is worried about winter driving. Thanks for the review, you are the best!
I was waiting for you to do this review. Just test drove one a couple days ago, same color too. It’s awesome, I love it. As soon as my lease is up in a couple months I really want to get one. The DCT is really good in this car, as someone who deals with heavy traffic on the regular it’s a great option to have.
Love your videos. You helped me decide on used kia forte5 sx earlier this year. Not in the market for a car now but still enjoy the thoroughness of your videos. Also love the coined "lets turn down this back road" phrase. Cheers!
Thanks for the comment! I'm so happy to hear the video on the Forte5 helped you, congrats on the purchase!
Don't know if you mentioned it, but the DCT version comes with -1.7 degrees of camber up front versus the manual which is factory set at -.7 degrees. This really helps tire wear if you track or autocross.
Didn't know that, thanks for sharing!
Always liked these cars! Looks like you really enjoyed that drive, nice review Matt! 👍 When they first came out I was choosing between this, a Golf R, and (yea this one is out of left field), a Fiat 124 Spider Abarth. Owning an M3 in the past, having Albert Biermann be part of the Veloster N was great. I ended up choosing a Golf R DSG (first automatic in over 10yrs). Loved it, went Stage 2, shifted so damn fast…but after a few years I really missed the engagement and fun factor of a true manual car. So not long ago I got myself into a Fiat 124 Spider Abarth. I think they look absolutely stunning, and since I always regretted selling my S2000 in the past, the 124 really grabbed my attention. Super happy I went with it; although it’s not the fastest, it’s definitely one of the funnest and never fails to put a smile on your face! Currently tuning it up. But a Veloster N would make a great second car to have and enjoy for me I feel (maybe once prices go down I’ll scoop one up); or a great only car as well depending on what you need.
Launch control with a dual-clutch is fun as hell though 😈 That is one thing I miss about the Golf R DSG…just being able to launch it with ease whenever you want.
I'm glad you liked the video! That's awesome that you own a 124 Abarth, they didn't seem to get much love sadly, even though I also think they look and sound great.
@Matt Maran Motoring Yea they definitely seemed to fly under the radar. Now that they stopped production it seems more people are wanting them though 😂
Finally! Been waiting for Matt to review the DCT!
Matt, I definitely get lots of understeer in my 2020 manual N, you're just not pushing it hard enough.
I test drove both the manual and DCT and the manual was just way more fun, and engaging and involving for the driver.
I couldn't agree more Matt, the Veloster N put the biggest smile on my face compared to the competition.
The sound alone is intoxicating.
I test drove the Civic Type R and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner.
Plus I much preferred the smaller size of the N. It's like a little go kart.
The VW GTI is just boring compared to the N.
The seats in my 2020 manual are much more comfortable than the new seats in the 2021.
The DCT in the Veloster N is a huge improvement compared to the past Hyundai/Kia models
And they actually got the setup right which I don’t understand why every other brand except for Porsche go with the other setup
What you mean set up? And they all use the other set up? What do you mean?
@@jonathantee5355 the shifter setup like a manual for example the lower gears are on the top while the higher gears are on the bottom this helps follow the momentum of the car as you're accelerating and decelerating
However many other manufactures like BMW have it the other way around on their auto where you shift up to gear up and shift down to gear down but Porsche has it the right way as it's suppose to shift up to gear down and shift down to gear up as that follows the momentum of the car and Hyundai got it right with the Veloster N
Does that make sense?
Only thing I wish Hyundai did was make the paddles longer and extend them to the end of the wheel, and mount them to the column, Ferrari/Lamborghini style.
Was waiting for your take on the DCT Matt. You hit every point. I got this car in December and i agree with everything you made. Pirelli P-Zeros were definitely not the best choice for this car. I’ll be swapping mine out for the Michelin pilot sport 4s when these P-Zeros’s are done. Love the manual but the DCT is an excellent compromise and i don’t feel like I’m missing out at all. I also find the seats firm but i love them. Great review as always Matt, congrats on your new addition to your family.🙏🏾
I was thinking the Pilot Sport 4s for my N DCT
@@christianmac5244 It’s a great choice of tire.
Thank you and congrats on your new N! Thanks for sharing your ownership thoughts! I always love hearing what owners think after longer periods of time.
Yes, I was beyond excited to see you revisit this car.
18:28 That's actually really close to where I live, and you're driving my new dream car! Small world, great review, and cheers.
I have a 2021 dct in the pb color and I love it...solid car..and is amazing in corners..the steering set in sport mode is so good..Hyundai did a really good job with this car..I really hope they continue to improve this car..especially with some more hp and tq. I'm all for giving up the nicer interior for a bump to 300HP and more tq..lol...awesome review!
Unfortunately, I heard 2022 is the last Veloster they are making. I guess car companies don't want to make hatchbacks anymore because less and less people are buying it.... *sigh*
I feel like these compact SUVs break down much easier and don't offer as much as these hatches. If I was a lil older and saved more money this would definitely be a consideration. As of now, Ive been window shopping and this has been on my list for as long as I can remember. People are sleeping on Hyundai now a days...
@@OhHellNahh yeah it sucks 😞😩
@12:00, really enjoy that twin camera view. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man your face of enjoyment is priceless! 😂😂😂
Saving up for the manual one !!
While watching your video I had no clue you were from PA!!!! I saw Mt. Nebo road sign and was like wait.... he's on I-79!!!!
Man a RWD or AWD version would be sick AF...
Their inhouse new DCT is just for FWD. All full N DCT cars(i30N, Kona N, I20N, Elantra N, Veloster N) are just FWD. I don't see them putting more money in a new transmission now. (Stinger and G70 used the same transmission from the Genesis Coupe) and from what N boss says they're focusing on cheap fun not power and numbers. So mid powerful engine + FWD.
Man I really want one now
Looks like it’s fun to drive .. the CTR has dealer markup problems, I’d take the N or GTI all day
The review I was waiting for
Great vid man! I was looking for reviews for the future new i30 N 2021, and I think this is the most approximate I could get, as we don't have the veloster version in EU. Thank you! P. D.: I managed to view the entire video, didn't lose excitement at all though it, good job.
Continental ExtremeContact Sports are at least as good as the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, and are actually slightly better in the wet!
Good to know, thanks! I've never experienced the Continentals.
New split screen driving view is nice!
My wife had one. So much fun.
This car looks like a lot of fun!!!
hi Matt. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was goin to be good
Having a nissan versa with the cvt, litteraly anything better would blow my mind
I love my N DCT. Couldn’t have bought a better car!
I'm ready for a new generation Veloster.
This one just came out for 2019 lol.
The generation it's based on came out in 2018 right? There's been a lot of change and new technology in the last few years and yeah the Veloster just became lapped by rivals quickly after it released. I most want to see an updated exterior design and the interior needs an update with the latest tech.
@@PerfectCode What competitors are better in your opinion? The new GTI doesn't arrive till this fall, is more expensive and slower. Interior tech in this is still better than Civic Type R too. There's basically no other rivals at this price point. This car is an affordable hot hatch. Loading it up with as much tech as a Genesis would balloon the price, which everyone would complain about.
I've been talking about the Veloster (non-N) variants. But I think the 4th-generation Mazda3 Hatchback is a much better option than the Velosters. Even the Mazda3 Turbo in the same price range of the Veloster N, unless you want the nicer sound of the Veloster N's exhaust or its DCT or manual transmission.
It's clear that the Veloster has aged quickly in today's auto industry where technology and electronics has finally had a much faster rate of change. Look at the lighting on the exterior of today's Veloster. Look at the infotainment and the instrument cluster in it; it's practically the same on the Turbo Ultimate and N model Hyundai Veloster as it is on Hyundai's entry-level Venue. Hyundai's and Kia's own latest models of the last two years have also created a significant gap in interior technology and material quality between the 2nd-generation Veloster.
It has "only" been three years since the 2nd-gen Veloster's release, but it's time for the Veloster to get some sleaker exterior styling, better exterior lighting, and a higher quality, more high-tech interior on par with Hyundai's latest. Otherwise the current Veloster model range is just not compelling enough; unless you're only after the Veloster N and its exhaust and DCT or manual transmission.
@@PerfectCode Ah, well as far as the non-N goes, there aren't many hatchbacks to choose from which might be part of why they didn't feel the need to do things like put the 10 inch screen in. The Subaru Impreza for example is just as dated.
The Mazda3 hatch is nice, but keep in mind that all those nicer things drive the price up a lot. Horsepower wise it sits between the regular 2.0 Veloster and the Veloster Turbo, so it's a trade-off either way. Veloster 2.0 Premium is 5k less than a loaded Mazda3 Hatch, and a Turbo is about the same price as the Mazda3 with 15 more horsepower. Driving the two vehicles is a very different experience too, the Mazda feels much heavier and less sporty than the Veloster. I can see how on paper they seem comparable, but in my opinion they are tuned with very different missions in mind. All it takes for a prospective buyer to decide is a quick sit and test drive in the Mazda to see that they're trying to make it a Mercedes A-Class/Audi A3 competitor, not a Veloster competitor. Same goes with the Mazda3 Turbo, much less dynamic than the Veloster N. They have very different buyers, one wants a soft, luxurious car and the other wants a simpler, more traditional hatchback experience.
Hyundai is kind of stuck because having a non-N being more expensive than the N doesn't make sense, and they deliberately left things like heated seats out of the N to keep the price down because the American buyer just wants the power and performance at an affordable price. Based on what they said, it doesn't seem like Hyundai has many Veloster buyers that want a luxury car interior. Honestly, it sounds like they don't sell many Velosters either so I honestly doubt it'll get a 3rd generation. Adding on features to drive up the price tag won't help sales in my opinion. Just my thoughts on the matter, sorry for the book lol.
As someone who drives a used ES350, torque steer off the line tickles my jimmies in a good way. Tire slipping for days is not fun, but with an E-LSD at least the Veloster N would be less slippy off the line. But there's something a bit dangerous feeling about torque steer that reminds you that you still need to pay attention to go fast.
Matt is just so genuine. Great person eh guys? (Yes im Canadian eh)
Would like to see this VS the new 2021 Mazda3 Turbo Hatchback.
The Mazda3 Turbo is much softer and heavier feeling. This also feels slightly faster.
@@MattMaranMotoring Oh for sure it'll be faster. That DCT trans helps so much. But the 320lb-ft torque might give a slight edge at the beginning for the Mazda.
@@tsenif Possibly, as could the AWD system, but from my memory of flooring both cars, the Veloster N DCT takes off way harder. Mazda tries to make everything smooth, so it's more progressive with its power delivery.
@@MattMaranMotoring gotcha. Mazda needs a DCT now!
Nobody.
Nobody at all.
Not a single living soul.
Manual fans: “I WiLL oNLy bUy iT iN MaNUaL”
yes.
If I ever got one. The first thing I would do is go one or two wheel sizes down to get some sidewall
Hey Matt, long time viewer here since probably the 2013/14? Subaruwrxfan version of you. Would you, in the near future, be able to produce videos in 2160p? I love watching your reviews and noticed there’s no 4K option so just thought I’d ask. Great review as always and thanks for the entertainment for almost a decade!
Hey Coty, thanks for the longtime support! I may switch to 4K eventually, but there's 2 things that are holding me back currently from making the switch. First, I'd need to upgrade to a new computer to handle editing all the 4K footage. The main thing though is that according to TH-cam analytics, nearly 70% of my views come from mobile devices where 4K footage can't even be appreciated.
Spot on review Matt! I bought the 2021 N almost three weeks ago and it's fun every time! I did a shakedown cruise by driving down to VA (a 6 hour trip for me). For yuks I drove in ECO mode (didn't feel like it honestly) the whole way to help break in the engine in and save on gas (Thanks Pipeline Ransomware Hackers!). I managed to get 39 mpg according to the onboard comp (I have photo evidence!). On the way back I was less conservative and still managed to get around 36 mpg. When that was done, went back to Sport & Sport + and wiped away those numbers real quick!
Thanks for the review and the info on the tires-I just swapped out the summer tires for all weather Michelin Pilot Sport tires and while they get the job done, feels a tad squishy when compared to the OE summer tires. Beats skidding off the road in a heavy rain though! Thanks again!
That's awesome Alexander, congrats on your new N! I'm impressed by the mpg, it's great to hear that they can get nearly 40 mpg, crazy!
@@MattMaranMotoring ...and that was doing 65-70 on the interstate. Thankfully it was mostly flat so it made it easy. I'm not into hypermiling but it's good to know I can get better numbers when I need to!
Well, if any motoring enthusiast ever says a DCT makes a better car than a manual, they are categorically NOT a motoring enthusiast... Yes it makes a quicker accelerating car, but never a better car.
If you love manuals, and love performance, you'll love he DCT... for a while... then you'll end up missing the gear changing and that relationship between you and the car that only a manual can create... that enthusiasts driving experience only a manual can provide.
Hyundai really do make some terrific cars these days... and it's great that this comes in both DCT and manual... as there are people who can't drive manuals, or just don't have a manual license... and the DCT is the next best thing after a manual.
I don't understand the NGS gimmick. If it's only providing a few more lb-ft of torque like that, it can't possibly be too much for internals to handle, so why limit it to just a few seconds? Why not just have that on all the time when the car is switched to Sports mode?
Emissions and MPG are the only reasons why they limit to 20 seconds every 3 minutes. This can make 300 hp without any reliability issues with a better down pipe.
I want this car soo bad !
Love the car seat test! Dads like to drive too!
Matt my 2016 Mustang still has the original PZero tires and they are the worst. They are fun to slide around in but definitely a bit dangerous.
Great review thank you!
Short answer: Yes.
Definitely can’t wait to see the Kona N. 😎
Hey what's happening I've purchase a 2020 Hyundai veloster turbo r spec I've changed out the Mufflers and exhaust tips it's loud enough with all the pops gurgling and burbling especially in cold start and I've tested drive the veloster N with a six speed manual transmission and it's performance blue and thanks for sharing your videos with me and I saw you tested drive the Hyundai veloster turbo r spec 👋👍🙂♥️
Great review, very through!
I wish it came with all season tires.
Excellent video!!! Thanks!
Owned both the Dct and now own the manual. Both great but will say the manual is more engaging and funner. The manual exhaust is a lot louder. Manual is also cheaper which was nice when buying it.
I’m actually buying one for a daily so I don’t have to rack up the miles on my type r so it’s good to hear that it’s at least a good competitor
Yea I think they did really great with this thing. I personally love the 6sp not only because I prefer manual transmissions, but because they did a very good job with the feel. I drove the r-spec, it's one of the best feeling shifters I've ever felt, right up there with Honda, very impressive. My only gripe with the veloster is I wish the rear door was in the driver's side for US market (left side). It'd make it hella more convenient to throw shopping bags or a back pack or whatever in the back seat.
That door is for ur passengers so they can safely enter ur car by the sidewalk, instead of the middle of the street on the driver side
@@jayespi37 Yea, I get that idea, but I feel like typically you'll more than likely be using it for your own purposes, for a car seat or groceries or a work bag/suitcase or whatever.
I get their reasoning, but I can't even recall the last time I've picked somebody up on a curb. Is this really something a lot of people do every day? I feel like there's much better reasoning to say it should be on the same side as the driver's door.
Also they made the front doors different lengths to make sure you suffer through the difficulties of a coupe in parking lots. If they wanted usable back seats why not just make it a 5 door?
P zero and dct were only for super cars not to long ago... pretty crazy
happy the dct exists, but the cost was almost no manuals are available anywhere in the country. as someone in the market for this car with 3 pedals, this sucks.
10:31
Automatic is ALWAYS faster than the manual version.
And just to let you know, 275 hp is a lot for that little hatchback so it will feel fast. Its not your average hatchback civic with 120 hp ...
there are no civics with 120 hp lol
@@randomvideos21015 ahh YES there was and YES their are
Not in the M2 competition! 😏
Disagree. The majority just don't know how to drive manual transmission.
@@Bens1LE unless the auto is geared to loose, the automatic is always faster and its been proven MANY times.
Nice ,I have the 2020 Veloster N performance, and love it .great video, also use 91 or 93 octane ⛽
I really like the crackles but I feel like it is so constant it has a very artificial feel/sound to it imo.
u can edit the exhaust sound in the settings. The pops and bangs are very real anti lag system though nothing fake.
Is the automatic going to have less exhaust pops compared to the manual
I got the notification late
Cant wait for the corolla gr. That will be a good competitor
Are you good at holding your breathe ?
@@gipsyavenger9829 holding my breathe?
Is hyundwi doing the 10 year 100k warranty on these?
One, they should have just made it a straight-on coupe. That rear seat is for small children, on very short trips; at best. If you need to get a car-seat back there, buy a base trim VW GTI instead.
Two, the radio is garbage. Talking in terms of sound quality.
Three, the interior plastics are as cheap as an Econo-box from the 1990s.
Four, it takes Premium fuel. (BTW, GTI makes its power on Regular.)
Honestly, if all you care about is performance and the exterior looks to match; this is your ride if you aren't rich. If you want a Sleeper that is more pragmatic to live with on a daily basis, especially if you're a young man with a wife and baby; get the GTI. Interior quality holding up over time? Honestly, they're both going to be terrible.
The driver interface on the new MK8 GTI is absolute garbage, the capacitive buttons are a non starter. The VN looks better, sounds better, is faster, has real buttons, and is more fun to drive, period. Four doors are boring and so is the GTI.

Yupp I think I’m getting this car now
this car rocks
hey, it's the Subaru STI guy
That whine is normal for the car. My 2020 manual has it.
Hey Matt. Great review. Very thorough and detailed. With all the features this car has, the price seems fair, that is of course if the dealership doesn’t sell it for over the msrp. With your review, you got me thinking about trading in my ‘19 Elantra GT N line. I just have to weigh wether the versatility of having 4doors is better for me. I will definitely have to checkout my local dealer to see the car for myself, but that’s dangerous.....if you know what I mean.
Thanx for this review. I enjoyed it very much.
Thanks Byron, I'm glad you liked the review!
I did the exact same! Traded in my GT N Line last year for a Veloster N DCT. Cannot be happier with my choice. This car is so planted even at 100mph+ in corners. The GT N Line felt sketchy on going 85 mph in a straight line lol
This or the K5 GT/Sonata N Line?
Soon I should be trading my 5.0 mustang for a veloster n. This colour with dct. I can't wait to get into 1!
Bro I feel ya. I just sold my 2020 challenger widebody scatpack for this very car and same color. I gotta say that the veloster n is much quicker and funner than my challenger. Only slightly slower in a straight line. I could get 4.5 sec 0-60 in the challenger vs 5.0 sec in the veloster n.
@@slimv3.162 I was getting tired of my mustang. I built it all wrong. It was heads, cams, cj, e85. Around town, it drove great, but was boring. A VN will be a lot more fun around town.
@@brooksallenyoung you will not be disappointed. The veloster is an amazing car especially when you look at price vs performance. I don't think you'll find a better car for the price.
Interesting to hear you guys moving from muscle cars to the N, but I don't blame you! The sharper handling is definitely a blast around town.
@@MattMaranMotoring plus the actual backseat and usable hatch are just cherries on top
I want one NOW but the car market right now is insane (-___-)
What do you mean?
@@hipolitorivera4631 Chip shortage on new cars, high demand for used cars, mark-ups on Veloster N’s…???
Probably not as bad in your area if you’re asking that
I would love to buy one, except there is zero for sale in a 250 mile radius from where I live.
Same here but look elsewhere and find some great MSRP or lower deals.
Love the car but there's absolutely no excuse in 2021 for a delay in touchscreen response. Imagine if you own this car for ten years and people wear AR glasses and you're there struggling with a 2-3 second delay to change a station.
I have a Cyber Gray 2022 DCT. Wow. I was smoking Porsche 911's in the mountains last week.
Can’t find a white one waiting for 2022 or should I say fall of 2021
Man if it wasn’t for me living in a highly congested city…I would be more inclined to get a manual N
Great review, I'd suggest improving your audio 👍
Why couldnt they give this the digital dash they have in the Sonata N ?
...because this is a drivers car and not a smart phone...
