It's not underappreciated...it got hyped and then it didn't really deliver everything. Look at the 2020 review by savagegeese because it sums up why it didn't have a lot of staying power. The sad thing is that David ignored that VW has the GTI which puts down a lot more power stock than people think, and with a tune APR has their going from 212/222whp and 258wtq to 288whp and 337wtq. You want more power? Downpipe an intercooler and a intake and you can happily make 308whp and 355wtq. Oh wait you want more? You can pick up a IS38 turbo from the Golf R and bump yourself to 358whp and 363wtq and still not be on a big turbo setup. Want a big turbo? If we stick with APR and what they have been quoting you can jump to 438whp and 408wtq which will make the Veloster N look cute with all it's go fast aesthetics. It would also be mentioned that VW has tons of aftermarket support I can think of 5 tuning companies off the top of my head not to mention companies that make parts. I struggled to find one company with a tune for the Hyundai Veloster turbo.
@@Osprey1994 Savagegeese actually liked the car despite the title. You must be new to his reviews because he lists all the negatives about each car he reviews so that people will know what they're getting into. And out of all of your tuning and HP talk, it quickly becomes meaningless to me. Especially after I drove a Golf R before ever buying my N last year, there was just this big disconnect between driver and car with the Golf R. N is a much more engaging car to drive. The Golf R was just numb to drive. There was just no feeling to the steering wheel so I had no idea when the front wheels were doing and the shifter is just so bland to use. You may not understand any of this because you have an obsession with dyno numbers but this is something that no tuning shop will ever tell you.
OspreyBravo18 GTI ignored? It’s a video about the Veloster, not the GTI. The Veloster N is a brand new platform. Of course there is room for improvement, and of course you’re not going to find as much aftermarket support. Clearly you didn’t watch the video because there isn’t a lot done to this car in terms of power mods, and it can keep up with most modded GTIs I’m aware of. What a dumb comment.
@@Osprey1994 while the GTI is a nicer car and a more tune-able car for now, stock for stock the Veloster N is a more enjoyable drivers car. In South Korea a guy is pushing 480hp out of his Veloster N. It has potential, just being a new platform it needs time and commitment from the after market world.
I got a type r, also looked at the velosters, but I did some research and the type r’s have such a big aftermarket potential, that it pushed me over the edge to spend the extra money, plus the handling
@sowavvy550 I believe the type r's are only 37k I have absolutely no clue where you're getting "50k+". Type R is such a better platform than this hyungay it's nearly laughable 😂
@@leavemetomyself typical Honda fanboy. Not true at all & I've had 4 Hondas previously, this is just as good of a platform. Not saying better, but just as good.

@@Ppareja1976 A few reasons.

With any options it was a little out of my preferred price range without getting one older than I would have liked. Also, it's no secret that the sti is dated and pretty lacking in several characteristics. I absolutely love the unequal length header boxer rumble but unless you're someone who's always dreamed of owning one, there are just straight up better cars for the money imo.
@@clintpopham5691 I like the feel of the N MUCH better than the Type R overall. Yes it has less power and even tune for tune will not be as fast in a straight line but the N is better in and especially OUT of corners than the R since it has a better torque band. The Type R is an awesome car but the cheapest dealers are selling for in most places is $5,000 over MSRP. I got my N for $11,000 less bottom line than an R would have been and with a downpipe, intercooler, intake, and tune I'll still be $8500 cheaper than a stock R. For that price difference I could do what 6xthElement has done and do the interior in carbon fiber, the hood, front scoop, lighter wheels, and upgrade the turbo and then it WOULD beat a tuned Type R and still be a good price lol Also I only pay $65/mo for insurance on the N, you can't say that for an R haha

Kapss 08 honestly brand snobs are my least favorite kind of car enthusiast. You can always find them under any Kia/Hyundai video commenting “it’s still a shitty Korean car”
@@Wolfy400 Brand snobs? You know about the FACT that the reason Hyundai/Kia are doing this well is the fact that they basically replaced their entire design and engineering teams with people who used to work in Audi, VW and BMW? So the car snobs are right, because the people who used to make great cars for "snob brands" were hired by a shitty brand, and then turned that shitty brand into a brand that makes great cars. The whole N-line of Hyundai's is developed by a guy who used to be one of the leading engineers in BMW M division. Those are FACTS. There's no such thing as "brand snobs". There are simply people who know A LOT about cars, and those who don't. And those who don't know a lot about cars often believe that highly regarded brands are only considered great because of their badge, but ignore the fact that in order for them to be considered great, they had to get to that point. And how did they get to that point? By consistently making great cars. You think someone who likes BMW's over Hyundai's is a snob? No. It's just a fact that BMW has been making the best cars in every segment they competed in for decades, and Hyundai has been a synonym for cheap disposable cars during the same time. So obviously BMW will have a better reputation, and Hyundai will have a lot of work to do in order to prove they're on the same level. It's just that, they couldn't do it on their own, they had to hire the very same people who made BMW great, in order to make Hyundai/Kia have a chance to compete with them.
You can't act like the first one didnt happen. That's like saying you got a loaf of bread with no butt. You gotta start rough before you get to the good part. And that's what Hyundai did
if you don't mind me asking, what are full bolt ons for a 3.8 gen coupe? I just got one less than a year ago and have been doing the basic exhaust/transmission mount upgrades for now (the isr performance racing cat back sounds fuckin AWESOME)
Quin Burke A lot of people do it different but i have a true cold air intake in the fog light with the black grill piece out so the filter is exposed and getting air (no problems ever in rain or puddles in heavy rain), polished throttle body with coolant bypass, ported and polished upper and lower intake manifolds with the manifold riser (intake and manifolds are heat resistant gold tape wrapped) , equal length ported headers catless that are heat wrapped, test pipes, stillen straight through catback exhaust, and alphaspeed custom tuned. My engine was taken care of well since i got the car basically brand new so my timing is only 1 to 2 degrees off of what e85 guys run, so i’m just about at 340whp
I used to work for Honda, and found when we got used car stuff in for Hyundai's we sold the parts the the same or better quality, better packaging and much lower price. Hyundai is way better than they used to be for sure.
In my country, we have the I30N (and fastback N) but not the veloster, actually no veloster at all. But we do have the MK8 Fiesta ST(yes the 1.5 3cyl 200HP ecoboost) and MK4 Focus ST( yes the 2.3 280HP ecoboost) quite ironic.
@@akiraproject2424 the GR Yaris? yes but that car will be very expensive. on the plus it's probably the only road rally car available today that is not an STI.
I prefer the i30N fastback - always been a fan of fast saloons. Daughter works at a Hyundai dealership and took me out in an i30N hatch. The exhaust crackles are intoxicating!
Hyundai is on top of this game right now🔥 The Veloster N is an amazing car for what especially when you’re talking about the amount of performance it has for the value
Dnt sleep on the Forte Gt stock vs stock civic si. Forte gt it beats them in a race. Tork motors tunes kdm has stage 1 stage 2 tune 240-270 300-340hp an bigger turbo for the forte gt 0-60 6.4. And dodge charger gt 0-60 is 6.4 not the RT the GT 300 hp
Having owned both and ST and now a Velsoter N , I can agree with you completely. Both amazing cars. The Velsoter just has that personality like no other. Thanks for sharing!
Yepper! I had an ST, too (2013) and now my sweetheart Veloster N (2020.) I absolutely agree with you. Her character/ personality is excellente' over my ST (yeah, the ST was good - yet the N is just better, for me.)
Honestly after many of your reviews over the last few years you have gotten me into hot hatches. I always liked the veloster but when I saw the N I knew I wanted it. I wish it had AWD but I'm really looking at going drive one soon.
As someone who tools about in a FWD on the daily, you really don't need AWD unless doing some hard acceleration or sliding about. Even in snow, FWD will take plenty good care of you so long as you put winters on it. Source: am Canadian and enjoy watching SUVs slip, spin, and get stuck while my Mazda keeps going confidently.
I work at Hyundai and have owned a lot of fun cool cars but this car puts a bigger smile on my face than any other cards I’ve ever owned. The car has an ALS system. It really feels like a lil rally car.
@@mangoshake No. Just similar design but not exactly the same. I believe Hyundai manufactured the 4B11 blocks and heads for Mitsubishi during their joint venture since they had the factory to support it. But Hyundai took a lot of Mitsubishi's tech and further developed it into their own cars.
The 2.0 theta engine was co developed but it is not the same. Bottom end is different 4b11t is a 4 bolt main theta is 2 bolt main rods and crank are different oil ports are different between the two. 4b11 is a semi closed where as theta is open deck. Head gaskets are also different. They also have different cam shaft configuration they can share valve springs and valves but that’s about it. Please be clear when discussing this as loosely they are cousins but not the same.
If I can get the money together for a hot hatch, the Veloster N is my first choice. Underrated as hell and this lovely in-between of Japanese and German quality with a very Korean personality.
Even if it's not the fastest, one thing I've noticed about all reviews of people reviewing the Veloster N - everyone always has a smile on their face and they are laughing and having fun.
We have Stinger guys on the forums now running low 11's, with 125 mile an hour trap speeds. That's Hellcat level. With a rear sway bar upgrade and slight lower the Stinger also handles like it's on rails despite weighing so much more than the N.
Other than an AMG, you're not going to find many cars sounding better than this, stock from the factory. Also Type R is completely overrated for the price.
I love this car its an amazing looking and performs well , I need to finish my turbo build on my tiburon so I can get you to review it . Or get my buddy to finish his turbo tiburon and get you to review it
Only reason I went with my Civic hatch instead of a Veloster is because the Veloster's interior is full of super hard plastic. Fantastic driving experience, but it was really uncomfortable as a daily.
The type-r is easily my favorite car, but 2 problems 1: Yeah it doesn't sound amazing. 2: Price/Availability. Good luck getting one, good luck getting MSRP on one. The Veloster N is like $10k cheaper. May not be as fast, but it's just as fun
When this engine came out in the early sonatas I always thought it had potential. I guess Hyundai thought so too. The optima brakes are a good idea too. Sounds like a low cost for consumables.
Fun fact: Hyundai also developed the Veloster N to run a full tank of gas around a racetrack without over heating. Hmmm 🤔last I checked, Honda had to update the Type R because of over heating issues and that happened well before it ran out of a tank of gas ⛽️
Fun fact: Renault developed the Megane RS to run on a track at the south of Italy at 40+ degrees celsius for 24 hours straight, just stopping for refueling.
It certainly does rev out fast to redline. Especially when it breaks loose in first and second gear. It usually grips, and i love the little gear number indicator on the dash
Thought I'd share this with you guys lmao he said it other day had me dying he also has a 07 Kia Rio we are building haha has 3" lips a big wing 15" deep dish bbs reps dual exhaust and some other shit
Hyundai used to be a laughing stock? In India, Hyundai is one of the top brands in the market ( I have the Venue ). Probably because 90% of buyers can't afford more than this anyway.
I've never been into Kia or Hyundai, but they've been doing really good as of late. My mother has a 2012 Kia Optima 2.0t and i already know that she has no clue how capable that car is. I've raced plenty of equivalent category cars and won quite a few
Seeing David smiling and happy behind the wheel is the best stuff of life. When I have the money to buy a Type R I'll get Patterson Car Care for upkeep but I don't clean my dusty 07 Altima sadly. Thank you for all these wonderful years of cars and car culture!
I owned a 2016 Focus RS, and now i have the Veloster N which i bought because it felt like a ridiculously well priced "baby" Focus RS. I love it, and with the money you would have otherwise spent on the Type-R just get a few upgrades and enjoy the hell out of it.
I’m really surprised David didn’t even mention the Golf GTI. It is literally the poster child for the hot hatch segment. The Veloster N is in the same price range of the GTI.
What a great car! I sold Hyundai’s for 5 years. Was with them when this car came out in 2012. Wow they really improved this Model. It now shares the Elantra Sport platform with its independent rear suspension. It use to be on the Accent platform, ho hum. Solid twist beam axel, 1.5 L turbo motor. Now it’s really come int it own! I sold Luxury cars for about 15 years before moving to Hyundai. Wow did they impress me. The dealer I worked for was top in their market, great CSI! There service department took great care of all my customers! Pugi Hyundai in Downers Grove I’ll.
Im kinda sad that they didnt use the 4g63 engine they used in the Gt models from 2005. If they did they could move the redline to 7,000 but it can cruise going 80 at maybe 2,000 rpm. Its insane that they didnt choose it. Maybe they lost the deal with mitsubishi. Either way Its good to see their beimg independed. And definitly happy to see they got a new designer from BMW. Back in the day they made cars that werent popular mostly because honda made the cheap cars, and hyundai tried to be economical and made zippy little cars that are fun but practical and can be a econobox. Kinda like a hidden cheap korean gem that no one expected. Some models that had the GT badge from 2002 to 2005 had the 4G63 engine rebranded under hyundai because it was an iron block that could be just beaten on. They just didnt put a turbo on it, Sadly but you can find some aftermarket parts if you search for evo parts. From the exhaust to the cylinders and valves. Its nice once you know whats really under the hood. So yea im not a hyundai fan more of a typical mechanic that likes certain types of cars that are reliable and can make good power. If you want a list of some good chasis that can fit big engines from hyundai I know a few amd if ya want a cheap car that comes stock with a g463 I know a few as well. Some that sell for around 2000 yet have the engine and can run just fine. Used of course given thay hyundai dropped the engine after 2010 and said nope too expensive. Its cheaper to build our own after all. Hyundai from 2005 to 2010 started giveing their cars power but not much else then from 2010 to 2020 started adding interior ride quality and other creature comforts. The cheap but good bargan deals are from 2005 to 2010. Then the more well built cars are from 2013 to 2020. They actually tried harder in this time frame.
What I don't understand is how people will still dismiss this car as "it's just a hyundai" How do you expect a company to get better if you just dismiss it because of the name that's on it? This is how companies become great! I came from an Infiniti G37X, and I never thought I would enjoy a Hyundai more than my G, but the 2nd gens are on another level. These are the cars that will become cult classics some day when Hyundai's name will be up there with the all time greats. Their Rally team has been doing insane things, and they're more race oriented than a lot of modern companies these days. I feel like Kia/Hyundai are going to accomplish great things in the near future, and they're already well on that path.
Dude has his N done up real nice. I own a Gen 1 VT and it has mad torque steer haha. The N is super cool though and definitely fills a void like you mentioned. The only thing I don't like about them is the stick on infotainment screen!
Love the look of the N. Having a RS myself it’s hard to compare any car to it in its price range. Owned many Subaru’s but the RS is of its own. Nice honest review and it open my eyes to what the N is capable of.
Yeah those new Veloster N's look extremely clean. It's cool seeing car companies figure it out. Toyota has come around with their new Camry, Corolla Hatch and Supra as well.

And those who don't know a lot about cars often believe that highly regarded brands are only considered great because of their badge, but ignore the fact that in order for them to be considered great, they had to get to that point. And how did they get to that point? By consistently making great cars. You think someone who likes BMW's over Hyundai's is a snob? No. It's just a fact that BMW has been making the best cars in every segment they competed in for decades, and Hyundai has been a synonym for cheap disposable cars during the same time. So obviously BMW will have a better reputation, and Hyundai will have a lot of work to do in order to prove they're on the same level. It's just that, they couldn't do it on their own, they had to hire the very same people who made BMW great, in order to make Hyundai/Kia have a chance to compete with them.
@@derbigpr500 So someone who buys a car for it's heritage, rather than it's merits isn't a snob? k.
This color is sick !!
It's a little feminine. That's fine if u like that. But the RS nitrous blue looks better IMO.
@@timjones3866 The blue is a boy color.
I mean, he is ThatDudeinBlue. Just sayin :p
I love my genesis coupe! But man, this veloster n is a beauty
Which version?
Same here man 👌
Just picked up a N with performance pack at the end of June. I absolutely love this car.
Still loving it?
@@mythicalducky yes! Posted a 10k mile review on my channel if you want more details. Still thoroughly enjoy the car.
You can't act like the first one didnt happen. That's like saying you got a loaf of bread with no butt. You gotta start rough before you get to the good part. And that's what Hyundai did
I pass this car all the time where I live I can’t believe you’re reviewing it!! It always breaks my neck 😂
“best korean car ever made”
me: **cries in my fbo 340whp NA genesis coupe 3.8**
Brooooooooo I'm full bolt on as well but my boy got a N. Trust me when I say the confidence you get driving that car is unreal
The Broke Consumer it’s all good, i like the veloster too, but i’m going to boost my 3.8 very soon
if you don't mind me asking, what are full bolt ons for a 3.8 gen coupe? I just got one less than a year ago and have been doing the basic exhaust/transmission mount upgrades for now (the isr performance racing cat back sounds fuckin AWESOME)
Quin Burke A lot of people do it different but i have a true cold air intake in the fog light with the black grill piece out so the filter is exposed and getting air (no problems ever in rain or puddles in heavy rain), polished throttle body with coolant bypass, ported and polished upper and lower intake manifolds with the manifold riser (intake and manifolds are heat resistant gold tape wrapped) , equal length ported headers catless that are heat wrapped, test pipes, stillen straight through catback exhaust, and alphaspeed custom tuned. My engine was taken care of well since i got the car basically brand new so my timing is only 1 to 2 degrees off of what e85 guys run, so i’m just about at 340whp
Theedd9991 cold air intakes don’t actually work. Almost at all.
As a genesis coupe owner I hope they bring the coupe back I'd be excited to see what they do with it.
My guess is that it will be much higher priced and I used to own one 3.8
We need to jump on the Hyundai/Kia train, they’re making strides in terms of performance and putting cars out that are pretty obtainable
I used to work for Honda, and found when we got used car stuff in for Hyundai's we sold the parts the the same or better quality, better packaging and much lower price. Hyundai is way better than they used to be for sure.
Thank you for the review!. @rated_n_ on IG
You got it!
In my country, we have the I30N (and fastback N) but not the veloster, actually no veloster at all.
But we do have the MK8 Fiesta ST(yes the 1.5 3cyl 200HP ecoboost) and MK4 Focus ST( yes the 2.3 280HP ecoboost)
quite ironic.
I wish in the states we had the i30N I would’ve put 10k down on it
If we got the i30N (which is our Elantra) I would buy one in a second.
I'm butthurt we didnt get that sweet little MK8 ST. Veloster is 1st on deck as of now. Toyota bringing something stateside though...
@@akiraproject2424 the GR Yaris? yes but that car will be very expensive. on the plus it's probably the only road rally car available today that is not an STI.
I prefer the i30N fastback - always been a fan of fast saloons. Daughter works at a Hyundai dealership and took me out in an i30N hatch. The exhaust crackles are intoxicating!
Hyundai is on top of this game right now🔥
The Veloster N is an amazing car for what especially when you’re talking about the amount of performance it has for the value
TDIB: "The Veloster N is filling a void. The Focus ST is gone and the Fiesta ST is gone."
GTI and Golf R: "Are we a joke to you?"
Gentry both of those are in a different price bracket than the STs and N
the Velostet N is pretty close to the GTI price range
Yes, yes they are 😂
Except I'd never buy a VW. Too many reliability issues.
Type R: what the fuck? You guys in the states waited years for me....
Can't find it for under 30 anymore 🤣
I did
The 2019 Veloster N’s used are 24k all day. Used 2019 civic Si’s are 24k! Great bang for your buck!
CommandoPG my friend brought an Civic si and I told him you could have got a Veloster n for the same price.
Dnt sleep on the Forte Gt stock vs stock civic si. Forte gt it beats them in a race. Tork motors tunes kdm has stage 1 stage 2 tune 240-270 300-340hp an bigger turbo for the forte gt 0-60 6.4. And dodge charger gt 0-60 is 6.4 not the RT the GT 300 hp
And only 23k 26k top for the car with better tires guys have hit lower 6.s in 0-60 imagine a tune on the 7 speed dct with only 2900 weight
Noise Control anime trash
@@zacjohnson452 🤣
I'm so happy this car is getting the love it deserves
"Big turbo" upgraded turbo wouldve been a better title.
This car is making me want to trade in my focus st
Do it
Do it
Do It
Do it
Do it
This was the most excited I've seen you do a review in a long time. You truly liked the car and it shows!
Welp, I'm sold, time to schedule a test drive and start saving!
Having owned both and ST and now a Velsoter N , I can agree with you completely. Both amazing cars. The Velsoter just has that personality like no other. Thanks for sharing!
Yepper! I had an ST, too (2013) and now my sweetheart Veloster N (2020.) I absolutely agree with you. Her character/ personality is excellente' over my ST (yeah, the ST was good - yet the N is just better, for me.)
Honestly after many of your reviews over the last few years you have gotten me into hot hatches. I always liked the veloster but when I saw the N I knew I wanted it. I wish it had AWD but I'm really looking at going drive one soon.
As someone who tools about in a FWD on the daily, you really don't need AWD unless doing some hard acceleration or sliding about. Even in snow, FWD will take plenty good care of you so long as you put winters on it. Source: am Canadian and enjoy watching SUVs slip, spin, and get stuck while my Mazda keeps going confidently.
Such a great looking Hatchback! We need more hot hatches in the U.S. I'm still waiting on Nissan to bring back the Pulsar lol
Nissan does sell the Pulsar in other markets, but not in a hot hatch form
Ugh don’t pull my heart strings! They need it back in full form like the old one!!
I work at Hyundai and have owned a lot of fun cool cars but this car puts a bigger smile on my face than any other cards I’ve ever owned. The car has an ALS system. It really feels like a lil rally car.
In case people don't know, this engine was joint-developed with Mitsubishi and Chrylser. It is basically the same engine used in the Lancer Evo X.
Seriously?
So it's a 4B11 block?
@@mangoshake No. Just similar design but not exactly the same. I believe Hyundai manufactured the 4B11 blocks and heads for Mitsubishi during their joint venture since they had the factory to support it. But Hyundai took a lot of Mitsubishi's tech and further developed it into their own cars.
@@PiroFyre I see thanjs
The 2.0 theta engine was co developed but it is not the same. Bottom end is different 4b11t is a 4 bolt main theta is 2 bolt main rods and crank are different oil ports are different between the two. 4b11 is a semi closed where as theta is open deck. Head gaskets are also different. They also have different cam shaft configuration they can share valve springs and valves but that’s about it. Please be clear when discussing this as loosely they are cousins but not the same.
Finally a modified N review.
If I can get the money together for a hot hatch, the Veloster N is my first choice. Underrated as hell and this lovely in-between of Japanese and German quality with a very Korean personality.
The I30N is just as awesome too.
Murica didn't get it
@@jacobwebb8818 Yeah true, but UK didn't get the Veloster either. So sad for both of us.
I actually want this car now ... lol
this car grows on me more and more each day
Maaan somebody dumped a buttload of cash into that car
I was really amazed by how awesome that car is. The combination of power and fuel economy is incredible.
2:50 “price gauge”
Did you mean to say “price gouge” or is this a term I’ve not heard of before?
I said the same thing when I heard him say gauge.. it's gouge.
Lol same. lil Patterson mis-speak❤️
It’s as gauge you can buy to install next to your boost gauge. It tells you how many smiles per dollars you are making.
Even if it's not the fastest, one thing I've noticed about all reviews of people reviewing the Veloster N - everyone always has a smile on their face and they are laughing and having fun.
Amazing video i really need this pure turbos upgrade 😍! I love my N but the turbo is holding it back! Once again thank you for making this video!
We have Stinger guys on the forums now running low 11's, with 125 mile an hour trap speeds. That's Hellcat level. With a rear sway bar upgrade and slight lower the Stinger also handles like it's on rails despite weighing so much more than the N.
Other than an AMG, you're not going to find many cars sounding better than this, stock from the factory. Also Type R is completely overrated for the price.
I only wanted a 3.8 from Hyundai, now im considering this hatch, looks soooo good and sounds awesome!
I love this car its an amazing looking and performs well , I need to finish my turbo build on my tiburon so I can get you to review it . Or get my buddy to finish his turbo tiburon and get you to review it
I still wished they made a 3rd gen genesis. The 2nd gen was pretty dope and made pretty good power
2:49 “price gauge” LOL EDIT: 6:05 “wind buffering” LOL. This is some good bone apple tea
I hate that it took me several minutes to remember the actual phrase he meant for "price gauge" lol
I was wondering if you would ever get the chance to review one of these. And you came through! I own one of these. Very fun cars!
So this is a properly tuned and sounding hatch from the factory....not bad hyundai.
The Veloster is my DREAM car, such a awesome car
a very attainable one, at that
The T-GDI engine is almost the same build specs as an evo x 4b11-t its SOLID.
I think if hyundai keeps making cars like this, they're gonna be the next great classics
Biermann is the best investment Hyundai/Kia has made. He/They are absolutely killing it.
I dont know why im looking at a review when i already own a Veloster N. lmao, its just so amazing i love my car
conformation bias probably? We all do this at some point
You have to review the new N with the dct then it comes here. Seats look so much better too
I love our Veloster N! It’s such a blast to drive
kia and hyundai are make some very nice stuff. the new genesis cars are gorgeous
This dude has window tint that is only good to drive from 9am to 6pm 😂
Only reason I went with my Civic hatch instead of a Veloster is because the Veloster's interior is full of super hard plastic.
Fantastic driving experience, but it was really uncomfortable as a daily.
As someone who has a 2016 veloster turbo I absolutely love these cars and am happy they are getting more attention!😎
The Veloster N truly encompasses a fun hot hatch
I love the veloster! It's like the 1 modern car that I think they nailed the styling pretty well. Every other cheap sports car is just eh with design.
The type-r is easily my favorite car, but 2 problems 1: Yeah it doesn't sound amazing. 2: Price/Availability. Good luck getting one, good luck getting MSRP on one. The Veloster N is like $10k cheaper. May not be as fast, but it's just as fun
Finally someone is showing off and doing veloster n stuff
When this engine came out in the early sonatas I always thought it had potential. I guess Hyundai thought so too. The optima brakes are a good idea too. Sounds like a low cost for consumables.
Fun fact: Hyundai also developed the Veloster N to run a full tank of gas around a racetrack without over heating. Hmmm 🤔last I checked, Honda had to update the Type R because of over heating issues and that happened well before it ran out of a tank of gas ⛽️
Fun fact: Renault developed the Megane RS to run on a track at the south of Italy at 40+ degrees celsius for 24 hours straight, just stopping for refueling.
It certainly does rev out fast to redline. Especially when it breaks loose in first and second gear. It usually grips, and i love the little gear number indicator on the dash
As my buddy says "Kia" Koreans in action
😂
I read somewhere it means "rising from Asia"
Drunky Pelosi
Kia in Hindi means “Done”
Thought I'd share this with you guys lmao he said it other day had me dying he also has a 07 Kia Rio we are building haha has 3" lips a big wing 15" deep dish bbs reps dual exhaust and some other shit
its hyundai not kia! -.-!
the veloster n has really good specs and features but i still find it so ugly lol
Whats your take on this vs the GTI and Golf R?
It doesn't compare to the R but it measures up well to the GTI. I think this would be more fun to drive than the GTI and looks better too.
better than both
@@KhalydMontanez Except for speed it doesnt compare to an R
Hyundai used to be a laughing stock? In India, Hyundai is one of the top brands in the market ( I have the Venue ). Probably because 90% of buyers can't afford more than this anyway.
I've never been into Kia or Hyundai, but they've been doing really good as of late. My mother has a 2012 Kia Optima 2.0t and i already know that she has no clue how capable that car is. I've raced plenty of equivalent category cars and won quite a few
Hope the America's get the i30N Hatch or i30N Fastback soon!
KDM seems to be the new JDM
Seeing David smiling and happy behind the wheel is the best stuff of life. When I have the money to buy a Type R I'll get Patterson Car Care for upkeep but I don't clean my dusty 07 Altima sadly. Thank you for all these wonderful years of cars and car culture!
The crackles and pops are one of the things I love the most about this car I want one so bad
I really hope this helps the KDM platforms in general. I love my genesis coupe and it has never failed me
Same 👌
I’m trying to get a bk2 as a daily and tuner are they reliable
@@Longshlongjon22 there reliable as long as you take care of them honestly and of course the more you drive them hard the less reliable they are
I owned a 2016 Focus RS, and now i have the Veloster N which i bought because it felt like a ridiculously well priced "baby" Focus RS. I love it, and with the money you would have otherwise spent on the Type-R just get a few upgrades and enjoy the hell out of it.
I’m really surprised David didn’t even mention the Golf GTI. It is literally the poster child for the hot hatch segment. The Veloster N is in the same price range of the GTI.
Exactly
Sure it’s a decent car but why would he mention it? The video is about the Veloster N.
For the price, is the best hothatch. And the sound.... OMG. Realy nice.
Me: waits patiently for aftermarket Accent mods
What a great car! I sold Hyundai’s for 5 years. Was with them when this car came out in 2012. Wow they really improved this Model. It now shares the Elantra Sport platform with its independent rear suspension. It use to be on the Accent platform, ho hum. Solid twist beam axel, 1.5 L turbo motor. Now it’s really come int it own! I sold Luxury cars for about 15 years before moving to Hyundai. Wow did they impress me. The dealer I worked for was top in their market, great CSI! There service department took great care of all my customers! Pugi Hyundai in Downers Grove I’ll.
Man, you’re living my dream.
Im kinda sad that they didnt use the 4g63 engine they used in the Gt models from 2005. If they did they could move the redline to 7,000 but it can cruise going 80 at maybe 2,000 rpm. Its insane that they didnt choose it. Maybe they lost the deal with mitsubishi.
Either way Its good to see their beimg independed. And definitly happy to see they got a new designer from BMW.
Back in the day they made cars that werent popular mostly because honda made the cheap cars, and hyundai tried to be economical and made zippy little cars that are fun but practical and can be a econobox.
Kinda like a hidden cheap korean gem that no one expected. Some models that had the GT badge from 2002 to 2005 had the 4G63 engine rebranded under hyundai because it was an iron block that could be just beaten on. They just didnt put a turbo on it, Sadly but you can find some aftermarket parts if you search for evo parts. From the exhaust to the cylinders and valves. Its nice once you know whats really under the hood.
So yea im not a hyundai fan more of a typical mechanic that likes certain types of cars that are reliable and can make good power.
If you want a list of some good chasis that can fit big engines from hyundai I know a few amd if ya want a cheap car that comes stock with a g463 I know a few as well. Some that sell for around 2000 yet have the engine and can run just fine. Used of course given thay hyundai dropped the engine after 2010 and said nope too expensive. Its cheaper to build our own after all.
Hyundai from 2005 to 2010 started giveing their cars power but not much else then from 2010 to 2020 started adding interior ride quality and other creature comforts.
The cheap but good bargan deals are from 2005 to 2010. Then the more well built cars are from 2013 to 2020. They actually tried harder in this time frame.
Haven’t even watched it yet but liked because I own a 2020 Veloster N
What I don't understand is how people will still dismiss this car as "it's just a hyundai"
How do you expect a company to get better if you just dismiss it because of the name that's on it? This is how companies become great!
I came from an Infiniti G37X, and I never thought I would enjoy a Hyundai more than my G, but the 2nd gens are on another level. These are the cars that will become cult classics some day when Hyundai's name will be up there with the all time greats.
Their Rally team has been doing insane things, and they're more race oriented than a lot of modern companies these days. I feel like Kia/Hyundai are going to accomplish great things in the near future, and they're already well on that path.
Would be interesting to see how this would compare to my 400whp Fiesta st.
Dude has his N done up real nice. I own a Gen 1 VT and it has mad torque steer haha. The N is super cool though and definitely fills a void like you mentioned. The only thing I don't like about them is the stick on infotainment screen!
Love the look of the N. Having a RS myself it’s hard to compare any car to it in its price range. Owned many Subaru’s but the RS is of its own. Nice honest review and it open my eyes to what the N is capable of.
Yeah those new Veloster N's look extremely clean. It's cool seeing car companies figure it out. Toyota has come around with their new Camry, Corolla Hatch and Supra as well.
345 wheel thats pretty close to a stock coyote. And the N is way lighter. Prolly a damn fast
I think this convinced me to get one
