first time coming across your channel, and i'm blown away. i've watched nearly every veloster N review on youtube (as i'm considering purchasing one), and this is one of the best. keep it up!
I have this exact model in ignite flame. In Canada we get the heated seats and steering wheel. This is definitely one of the most comprehensive reviews I’ve seen to date, well done and keep up the good work.
god i need one of these. ever since i drove my dad's 2014 nissan maxima sv, i fell in love with performance based fwd cars. seriously my dream car, only problem is that it snows and gets icy where i live in the winter. think i'll have to wait for the 2022 ;) good video.
Reliability is always an interesting topic because everyone has a story about their cousin’s wife’s brother’s son who had his transmission blow up at 5,000 miles. Almost every manufacturer has had some sort of major recall that can be used as an example of unreliability and so on. I’ve even had someone tell me how unreliable their dad’s Toyota was. Go figure. So when it comes to reliability we look at generalIzed scoring, which in itself has issues but at least it creates an even playing field. In that respect, yes, almost any new Hyundai you buy should be very reliable. If not, Hyundai has the best warranty in the industry. 5yr/60,000 basic and 10yr/100,000 powertrain.
On a car like this, the owner is the main tool of reliability. These performance based cars need owners that do preventive maintenance on schedule. If the owners falls behind on maintenance or wait for a part to wear out the cars can quickly empty your bank account. On the good side, this excellent hatch will need maintenance once a year if driven with spirit and fun.
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?
It's been a while since I drove the Veloster N but I believe when the transmission is in its most aggressive mode, it will hold the gear up to redline but not sure if it will allow you to keep hitting the limiter and not shift. Perhaps someone else knows better.
It starts up in normal mode, then you use the left blue button to get sport and economy mode, and the right blue button to get to N regular and N Custom. The reason it starts up in normal is US noise testing only needs to be done in startup mode, that’s why the firecracker exhaust is legal in the US. As far as shifting it can be shifted manually and for first to second it auto up shifts at redline, but 2-8 is manual and can hold redline without auto shifting. Downshifts are automatic if revs drop too low to prevent lugging the engine, but otherwise it’s just like a manual 👍🙂
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 for me with all the pops gurgling and burbling especially in cold start and I've changed out the spoiler N nowadays it's going to be difficult to find a veloster N they've the kona N and the eletra N * tested drive the veloster N with a six speed manual transmission I'm not sure if they discontinued the manual transmission they have a duct & thanks for sharing your videos with me 👋🤔🙂♥️
Should be badged as a Genesis. I just have a problem with that terrible logo badge and Hyundai’s years of horrible looking vehicles. This is a solid step up.
It’s a performance focused vehicle so smooth isn’t exactly the goal. But for what it is, we found it shifted well when driving it more relaxed. Thanks for the question!
Normal and economy mode is pretty normal like a regular car but N can be kinda brutal sometimes, in N it feels like it’s meant for the track 😂 the reason it can sometimes be called angry is because the engine power can break the tires loose causing a brief tire chunking sound, doesn’t always happen but if the road isn’t too good your passenger might ask if your car is ok 😂
I'm sorry that most of us can't afford a fucking luxury race car like you. Unfortunately, there are plenty of us that would disagree and think that a subcompact is the perfect place to start a performance brand.
Sold my 6 week old 2021 Veloster N DCT because it's a lousy daily driver. The suspension is WAY too stiff, even on the softest setting. If you buy one, be prepared to feel all road imperfections and get airborne on every freeway rut.
I have one. I love it for what it is. It’s not a comfy car but a sporty one. Surprised you didn’t like it in normal mode. We have terrible roads here in Texas where i live and normal mode is decent but def not great. However - the damping on this car is wonderful over 40mph and the car smooths out a lot.
@@JeLifeCoach that N Custom setting probably has the suspension setting set to soft no matter what the other settings are, this is really not a luxury car 😂

Hyundai Veloster US Month Sales
JAN FEB MAR
2021 193 222 272
the number is not in 1000s
i think this hyundai will be discontinued very very soon.
NO IT WASN'T THE FIRST, THE I30N WAS THE FIRST.
@@terryspenardiceberg Correct! Except we don’t get the I30 in the US. So for us the Veloster was first.
My exact car coming in end of January 2022.
MSRP, no add ONS in Dallas
Awesome. Congrats!

This is a beauty. Well done huyndai !

Agreed. Great color and plenty fun. Thanks for the comment!
I enjoyed your review. First time watching your videos. Very in depth so thank you lol. Also crazy for speeding up in that heavy rain 😂
Thanks! Haha. Yeah. The car handled it with no problem.
@@ridexdrive handles rain well, meanwhile my old VW Fox station wagon used to hydroplane at 65 miles an hour because it had cheap economy tires 😂
Great review, well done. Subbed.
Thank you!
First time viewer and I enjoyed your work. Pressing the subscribe button was a must.🖖
Thanks! Truly grateful for the support!!!
Can’t beat those sweet seats
Favorite part of the interior!
Awesome review man, the black color is super sexy and i love how every review i watch the driver is always smiling once they do a pull.
Thanks! Definitely my favorite color and usually I am not a fan of black cars but it works so well with this car and the red accents. Very fun car.
god i need one of these. ever since i drove my dad's 2014 nissan maxima sv, i fell in love with performance based fwd cars. seriously my dream car, only problem is that it snows and gets icy where i live in the winter. think i'll have to wait for the 2022 ;) good video.
Yeah. It was a blast! Thanks for the comment.
If you wait long enough the 3rd gen will come out. 2023/2024.
Great review. Sweet car, love the Black/Red color!
Thanks! Agreed. The color is great.

Excellent review! Thanks!
Thank you!
Great review btw thank you!
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Nice review. I love this car!
Thanks!! It really is a cool car.
Looks good, sounds good and goes fast. But is it reliable?
Reliability is always an interesting topic because everyone has a story about their cousin’s wife’s brother’s son who had his transmission blow up at 5,000 miles.

If the owners falls behind on maintenance or wait for a part to wear out the cars can quickly empty your bank account.

Plus, the N cars have been around a few years now. Long enough to have established they have no show stopping issues for enthusiasts.
You won't get a better warranty...
10 year warranty, plus tracking this car won't avoid warranty either I hear, which seems pretty crazy

Love the new specs but I still think the 2013 turbo ultimate looks better with curves rather than weird angles
Yeah. We prefer the straight lines but have always thought the Veloster was a cool looking car. Thanks for the view and comment!!
Should be badged as a Genesis. I just have a problem with that terrible logo badge and Hyundai’s years of horrible looking vehicles. This is a solid step up.
Thanks for the comment!!
Lots of Veloster N owners wish the logo was blacked out rather than shiny 😊
👍 for 1,458 customizable drive modes.
😂
@@ridexdrive wild that someone did that math 👍😂
If this is the automatic version, is it smooth? I plan on buying this model when I have enough saved.
It’s a performance focused vehicle so smooth isn’t exactly the goal. But for what it is, we found it shifted well when driving it more relaxed. Thanks for the question!

Cool color...like it..video is nice..
Agreed on the color. Thanks for the comment!
awesome review!check the upcoming KONA N pls
Thanks! Will certainly try to get my hands on one.
Been wanting one but used are selling over msrp here in canada. Too bad they stopped after 22
Yeah. Prices are ridiculous. Considering there weren’t a ton produced, pricing is still high even for used ones.
If they don’t want to bring in the N then they should bring in that i30, it gets good reviews in Europe and it’s still sold over there 😊
I was born in Columbia South Carolina 😂
haha.

Not sure what you're talking about or why you're cursing at us. Please try again...
@@ridexdrive hmm, someone probably deleted their post, hence someone talking to apparently nobody, it happens sometimes 😊
You sound like Ted Wassanasong
Oh crap. I was aiming for Kahn.
Why does he talk so strange
To get comments from people asking, “Why does he talk so strange?” Thanks! Haha.
@@ridexdrive hahaha, I like that answer👍🧐

That sucks. Curious, what did you replace it with?
I have one. I love it for what it is. It’s not a comfy car but a sporty one. Surprised you didn’t like it in normal mode.

What did you expect? S class smoothness? 🤦🏽♀️🙄
