TWO CLUTCHES ONE HATCH 2021 Hyundai Veloster N DCT First Drive Review 

I just got this exact spec car and I always have a smile on my face when I drive it or think about driving it.

Bought my Blue DCT N a month ago. LUUUUUV IT!

As a GTI DSG owner well done Hyundai keep up the good work.

As a first time driver, I’d definitely want this to be my first car. Thank you for the this review. 😊

First video of the channel and my favorite N product review to date. Subscribed.

Nice review! Your enthusiasm came through about it and made me more curious about a car I'd never consider. Heavy for a smaller car.

I just got one last week in performance blue and I love it!!!

Subscribed brotha. Incredible review

Would love to see this with DCT and stop and go adaptive cruise. Would be perfect combo for city traffic, road trips, and performance driving in an affordable package. Maybe they will add ACC with Elantra N...

This is the best review I have seen so far of the new veloster N. My next car👍.

Have one love it, nothing comes close for the price. Great video

What an awesome hot hatch! My 2014 Fiesta ST has only one payment left before I own it, but this is a great option used in the future if I decide to change.

Brian if possible, if you got the resource, Please do performance comparison between FK8R and VN DCT.. maybe some drag testing or track time attack..

@brian Love the morphine drip of these California vids. Entertaining review -- although I'd naturally take the manual ;-)

Brian, nice review. Where abouts in California were you driving? Looks very familiar, road? I've drove both the DCT and manual and much preferred rowing my own gears so I bought a 2020 Performance Blue manual at dealer cost. If you want the quickest lap times get the DCT, if you want more fun, more driver involvement and engagement then get the manual for sure.

Your thoughts on how the Veloster puts power down coming out of corners reminds me of how my mk6 GTI behaves (also equipped with brake actuated limited slip). If you drive like a ham-fisted yobbo that treats the throttle like an on/off switch it is about as happy as you'd expect, but with a smooth throttle foot and sensitive hand it has a surprising amount of grip for driving out of corners. The only time I ever manage to get any wheel slip is at high steering angles at low speeds in second gear on really tight backroads, and even then there's no push; the "e-diff" does its work and the car pulls like it should. A lot of people bad-mouth these brake based limited slip systems but I find them to be surprisingly effective with my only real criticism being that they don't provide the same amount of tactile feedback to the driver when they're working as a real limited slip differential. The cars I've driven with torsen type differentials up front kind of tugged at the steering wheel a bit when they were working, with the GTI I have to listen for the inside tire to slip/stop/slip/stop as the brake pulses. Thanks for another great review, if I wasn't happy with the hot hatch I already have I'd probably have a closer look at this one. I'm not too excited for the mk8 GTI as I'm not a fan of nearly every function being behind a touch screen.

So fellas what's a better transmission for handling a modded VN? I'm having hell trying to figure out what transmission could hand more power/ be reliable but I'm guessing DCT is best....?!?!? Please enlighten me, ty everyone!

I want one soooo very bad. These look like so much fun.

Would love to see you try out the upcoming elantra N when it becomes available in N. America.

Car and driver did testing on the track with a 0-60 in 4.8 sec, that was after several attempts with most in 5.1- 5.5 sec range- so it can be done

You deserve way more views on your videos. Great review as always. I picked up a 2020 Veloster N about 10 months ago and love it to bits. Averaging close to 1500 miles a month on it because it's too much fun to just be a commuter. Trying to convince my partner she needs a DCT one so we can have a his and hers.

I got a 2013 veloster turbo , all pimped out i love the new one but il wait for a price drop , still enjoying my old one

First :) good job, nice car

great review and a neat car. not a FWD fan but this car seems like a handful of fun!

I'm torn between the red and the baby blue. I've always owned red cars be it a ND Miata or a Suzuki Swift but the red VN looks similar to a plain jane Veloster. I guess baby blue separates the VN from a regular V and it's the one to get. What do you guys think?

Great review! So is this better than the MK7.5 GTI with DSG from an overall fun perspective? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I think most would agree the GTI is the better looking hatch.

+1 subscriber.. good video

Do you still get good exhaust burbles with this? I know it’s a different setup than a manual.

is all dealerships put the markups price in all Veloster N?

Love my manual ,sweet love mine

Does it bounce off the rev limiter or auto upshift? This affects performance during autocross.

When you spec it out how come there was no n performance 4 pot break upgrade

Do the new seats come on the manual version as well?

the only question i guess is do i get this or wait for the elantra N

NGS sets the car immediatly into its fastest setup possible for 20secs. If ur already in Sport or Sport+ the power wont change u dont get any extra torque. Just matters if u are in eco or normal. 7th and 8th gear do only work in eco. Or normal. They are not used in other engine modes.

When I graduate in a year from college I want one with a manual in the blue to replace my e46 325ci manual

I want one. I hear rumors they are going to stop production for good. Any word from anyone?

How did this feel compared to the Type R Brian?

Hyundai like Genisis protects the trans from full torque for a little bit. Loong warranty on that thing.

Ha...great title. I remember that video. Good times

Everyone should drive cars with DCT, CVT, AMT, AT, Plug-in Hybrids.

Cant find this car anywhere! At this point i dont care if manual or dct but prefer dct since im tired of driving manual transmission in traffic of LA!

Dear Hyundai Veloster N Division, I hope you are reading this. Here are some Cons I would like to address. 1.) There’s an excessive glare on front windshield. 2.) Cabin noise from road. 3.) Please add heated seats and heated steering wheel. 4.) If heated seats can be added, why not add ventilated seats, global warming is increasing the temperature and it’s very hot/humid during summer. 5.) Plastic interior feels and look cheap for a $34K car. I hope the 2022 model addresses these Cons, if not I will go for Mazda 3 Turbo hatchback instead.

5 Reasons for the Manual. >lighter weight >real handbrake >louder exhaust >more fun >more affordable

Nice car for younger buyers Good review

Not available in Canada/USA ?

0 to 60 in under 5.5 seconds is nothing. Turn on launch control. Slam pedal to floor. The end. 5.2 is easy. Under 5 seconds down to 4.8 seconds in ideal situations. How else are you supposed to do 0 - 60?

Veloster N or GTI?????

I’ve seen this car go 0-60 in 4.8

DCT or MANUAL?

Time to upgrade my yaris

did you just compare this to a nsx

Road & Track did 4.8 sec 0-60 mph. Not sure why you think 5.6 sec is optimistic.

I do sort of wish I’d waited for the DCT but I got my 2020 N PP for $28K!

Love my 2020 veloster N manual better for 30.000

We're Canadian, we're awesome" Humble too!

This is actually way faster than Honda CTR on a track and just as fast as the previous generation amg a45. You don’t get this level performance at this price anywhere. Get it before you have to pay the premium like people do on telluride

Buy the 6speed, people.

Mine does 4.9 sec stock 0-60 lol

good review, definitely not a car i`d consider buying, design is really ugly and the screen is like it was added to the dashboard

Three doors, two clutches, one hatch. Too obvious?

"So approachable and not gonna bite you". Meanwhile the front of the car looks like a snake. 😒
