Which is the BETTER Hot Hatch to BUY? 2020 Hyundai Veloster N or Veloster Turbo? 

If Honda had made this car and called it the CRX no one would question it and the lots would be sold out.

I’m the type of weird that would prefer a three-door over a two door or a four-door because it’s unique.

Koreans realy hit the spot when Hyndai and Kia bought each other stocks and started colaborating. The quality of the cars realy went up i think that now they are even better than some Japanese manifactures like Nissan and Mitsubishi.

Buying a N very soon and I'm super stoked on it. Such an amazing car for the money

In my opinion this is the most underrated car brand in the industry! They make amazing cars that are extremely reliable! Great review I thoroughly enjoyed it👍👍👍

Got an N from copart because they have been going for cheap. Compared to everything else I was looking at (most with lower cash value) these had a history of going for 2k-6k less. Was exclusively shopping for manuals, and got a repairable rear ended one with ~30k miles for 7k.

Honestly this is one of the best veloster reviews i’ve seen

Thank you for making this vid I can’t get enough of the veloster N!

Got an N few days ago! Your reviews definitely pushed me to highly consider it!! Keep it up

Joe got so good at this he's reviewing 2 cars at once! Awesome review both Velosters are great options against the competition given their price points.

Nice review man i really appreciated that specially when you were enjoying that velosterN that sounds so good

Thank you very much for this vid Joe, a much welcomed surprise for sure!

As someone who lives in the Clearwater area it is refreshing to see such thorough reviews of reasonably priced cars

I needed this review , I haven't finished it yet , I know it's gonna be great , have a great night/rest of your week

I’ve got a 2019 Veloster Turbo. I absolutely love my car. Put a full magnaflow catback exhaust on it as well and its pretty dang quick 👍🏼

I just drove the N last Monday and it was absolutely exhilarating ! Incredible performance and technology for the price . I’ll definitely be looking to purchase one right after Christmas .

Probably one of the best hot hatches on the market today 👍 Hyundai has definitely been stepping up their game lately 💯

The N is definitely a top contender for a new daily for me, always enjoy seeing what you have to say Joe!

Awesome review Joe! This ones ur best yet!😁

Another good review Joe, I would pay the extra money for the N, sounds awesome, Hyundai has come a long way, take care brother !

Hey Joe I test drove that 20 Turbo and it was fun. They even gave is a bit more room inside the 2017 was so tight. Thanks. Good review!

Damn that "N" looks beautiful in that color combo

I remember driving this car back in 2018, before they hit dealers...and I have to say, I am looking into the Veloster N.. Love the car..

Very informative and professional review as always Raiti👌

Wow! Two reviews for the price of one. Those mismatched door panels on the turbo are weird. If I were a young buyer I’d have to pick the N. The older me would pick the turbo automatic. Well done Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Hey what's up guys its THE MAN WHO CAN SEE THE FUTURE! You did it again Joe! Always knowing what I like before I know.

Raiti's Rides, I've started watching several of your reviews. They're great, and this is one of the best. There's one thing missing though...I have no idea where I can store my M&M's in either of these vehicles!

Great review! Thanks

I have the 2019 veloster turbo in black and love it definitely will get up and go

Great review!!!

That N is on the short list for me as my Accord 2.0T 6 Speed is up next year. I want that Blue color. Hyundai is doing it up right.

Great job in your review

I just bought the 2020 Veloster N with the performance package and I love it!! I had the 2019 Veloster R-spec which I loved too but I had to try the N. There are minor things I which the N has that my R-spec had like the removable head rest in the back seats, on the N you can't remove the head rest and the reason I removed mine on the R-spec it's because it gives you more visibility in the small back window. I also liked the seats color line on the R-spec and of course that little silly race flag on the dashboard that the N doesn't have. I also wish the N will come on the Thunder Gray like the R-spec but there is no gray color on the N so I went with the black color. The R-spec stick shift, it's all metal that on very hot days you can't even touch it, I always had to put a sock on it so I can drive it. I will still have to see if this happens with the N Other than this silly things the N it's awesome, the driving feel smother and more quite than the R-spec and of course the performance package on the N makes it an awesome car. When I bought the R-spec I always had that feeling that I should have gotten an N instead so I did it this time and what a great choice

I’m totally getting the Veloster N it looks cool! Just need a little practical on the manual and this is the car to start!

Iv had my N for a few months and im in love. Its actually way better than any review iv seen. If anyone is getting one, be stoked. Its the best of both worlds, I used mine as my daily driver and its so smooth and roomy, then i can take it to the auto cross and kick some serious ass. Its perfect. Im so happy.

I think the black veloster N looks awesome!

Joe im ordering my N this weekend, im so excited! I haven't even driven one yet because the dealership im buying from hasn't had any yet so its great to get your input.

I'd get the N just for the exhaust sound and the pops

I love my 20 Veloster 1.6T Ult. DCT , such a great drive, whith amazing features. Recently got my ceramic tint 15% not too much but looks clean. As well just ordered Injen SP Cold Air Intake System (Black) - SP1342BLK for more rumble and hisses. First new car I've bought and the bank doesn't have the pinks .. i do.. I have 0 regrets after 2 years and 38kmiles. Amazing vehicle that is fuel efficient and fast when needed. They dont make them anymore so get it while u can.. mIINE WAS 28k brand new and went up to 32.5k even after 5k miles and a year (crazy wholesale market). Now im making it a sporty sleeper. Great video!

To be fair, yesterday i was wondering when will the Veloster N review pop out on your channel ;P Such a nice surprise i guess haha. Great vid!

Very good review thanks you

I have a 2019 VN performance pack and have seriously enjoyed it. 15,000+ miles and counting.

Mandatory Sunroof delete hurts bad but other than that N is the obvious choice. No power seats for $30K is lame as well. But this N does so many things right that I can get over it’s shortcomings.

great video, thank you so much

Best review so far you make me Buy a Veloster N !

I love this car! It reminds me of my way back when 2005 SRT-4.

Nice review! Joe, owning a FiST, you know which one I would have to have. Veloster N all the way! I hope they offer it in brighter metallic colors in the future as mine is bright metallic neon green.

Love the video sir ✌🤞🤞🤞😀

The perfect comparison video wow!

Gotta Love the new N!!!! ❤️ I was with Hyundai when they came out with the Veloster in 2012. What a let down, however since they redesigned it with independent rear suspension and put it on the Elantra Sport platform it really came alive!!! The Accent was a nice little car but it wasn’t rite to use as a base for the Veloster. My wife has a 2015 Elantra Limited and it has been trouble free since day one. All I have done (besides oil changes, tire rotations) is new tires, front breaks and that’s it. Not one warranty issue. Love my Hyundai! I may have to pick me up an N next year when I get a new car. Thanks for your report Joe!! 👍🏻

Thanks for the great review. I'd be interested on your thoughts about the driving dynamics between the R-Spec and the N.

I have a veloster 2.0 premium as my daily driver. If i'm going for the fun factor, I would definitely learn to drive stick and buy an N.

Never really liked small cars other than the old school civic hatches but I've like this car since its introduction and that N model sounds beautiful not to mention how fast is it at that weight. Another great review.

Amazing fricking review Joe I'm so glad. Personally Joe I don't like any of the Hyundai Sedans believe or not I'm just not a fan of the sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, hybrids, etc.... Overall great review. Would love to see the All New Hyundai Tucson N when they hit the Dealership's fresh from the trucks whenever they r released. Thanks Joe.

Ooo! I’ve been looking for a nice hatchback but most of them are on the slower side. I’m definitely checking this one out!

It's nice to see you enjoy the sound. I'm still keeping my Mustang ;-)

I’m in a 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS SC I bought new. In 2012 my wife got a brand new Elantra GT that I’ve been very impressed with. We recently had it serviced and while there I sat in a new Veloster N. I’ve still got to test drive it, but I’m pretty sure after 15 years I’ve finally found my replacement car. It’s just so weird I can’t help but love it, just like my SS Supercharged.

I actually drove and enjoyed both the same day..... but I ended up picking the veloster N! But I got to tell you I would have been happy with either!

I have that exact "sunset orange" veloster turbo ultimate but a 2019. absolutely love it. surprisingly roomy for being a small hatch

You're the man Sir.

I'm pretty sure Joe wants the N as his daily driver I know I would. Keep up the great work. I'm holding out for the Kona N

Joe I love your videos just sub. Do you think everyday driving is it worth getting the Turbo instead of the N (wet trans) just because they both have a 13 gal tank. Gas mileage is a bit important but I also live in FL so you know how hard it is to get on the entrance ramp of a Hwy and will the turbo get me on there fast enough, if not then I’ll go for the N.

"veloster N is easy to drive" meanwhile there is me stalling the thing 6 times before I can get it out of the slightly sloped parking space... also I am almost 7ft tall so this car is a little tight for me but still manageable without the sunroof. I am really happy that this car still offers 3 pedals in 2020

Good review, for the price and warranty, good cars.

If only the N could come with the interior of that Turbo trim it would be perfect.

Only if I could get a Veloster N... one day it will happen.

Is this an extremely early Christmas present? A review of an otherwise underrated car?

I had never driven a manual car before I test drove the Veloster N. Stalled it twice in the drive. I guess I did pretty good.

I'm going N! That thing is awesome!

The fact that I can soon afford (and most people reasonably) is mind blowing, type of shit that just makes you smile

I have a '20 Veloster Spec R. It's pretty quick, agile, and set up so the controls are all easy to reach. The clutch is really easy, not light, just smooth and predictable. Some clutches require varying degrees of force on the path down and back. I hate those, because I always end up misjudging how much foot pressure I need and popping the clutch, which causes the car to jerk around. The gears have a wide range, so traffic isn't terrible, but stop-and-crawl is every bit the PITA you'd expect with a manual. Still, I'd rather deal with that annoyance and have something really fun to drive than not. Storage capacity is surprisingly large. I got a whole queen bed and frame plus some some other stuff from Ikea in it and was able to close the hatch. It's missing a few amenities my Optima has that I'd like, such as automatic climate control, but that's a minor thing. Otherwise, my only real complaint is that the shift indicator is set way too low. The car wants me to shift around 2k rpm and if I follow its recommendations, the engine really bogs. Under normal driving, I shift it around 3.5k and that works fine for me.

Cool comparison, F1 cars have the triangle "brake light" to show when their conserving and saving electricity, not for braking or in fog.

Raiti no lie the one liners are fire 🔥

I had a 2012 Veloster. It is the most deceptively roomy car I have ever owned. My son is 6'5" and for in the back seat. Tons of legroom up front. I'm looking at the 2020 Turbo with DCT next. I'd get the stick but my wife has arthritis and can't drive a stick anymore. Happy wife, happy life.

I’m 95% sure I’m going with the N in black by Xmas. Price & warranty not a bad deal at all!

Be careful Joe doing 70 in a 35. We care about you brother.

If looks are important then you will buy the turbo. It’s beautiful. I personally wouldn’t zonk anything on that beautiful vehicle. If performance is more important to you then you purchase the ‘N’. Great video once again!! We’re not worthy.

i want this to be my very first car

OK I changed my mind I want the ultimate like my wife does! Too much stuff missing out at the end model I realize it’s more of a racing model than the ultimate but I like my creature comforts

We bought the 2020 veloster n with performance package in the racing red from the new port richey Hyundai in July. By far I think the red is the best color choice. Sorry we bought it before u could review it lol

Hey what's happening Joel i♥️ the snap crackle and pop with the veloster N 🖐👍

Stil rocking my 2013 veloster turbo... I'm amazed they continued to make this weird car.

Sweet! Any news on the 2020 Elantra gt n line?!

First car a 2017 veloster super fun affordable car and might trade in to keep the brand

You all should see the Korean version with the Alcon massive calipers and sick 19-in Wheels. Alcantara steering wheel and recaro style one piece buckets. Absolutely stunning car. Comes in DCT also... Course we didn't get it.

You said 201hp and 295lbft of torque for the 1.6T. Torque is incorrect but you probably know by now! Great comparison thank you!

Joe, I wonder how the new 2.5 N-line engine going to be compared to this 2.0 N-Line?

Have a 2010 Cobalt SS. The VN reminds me of its excellent price to performance ratio. Seriously considering picking one up. That 10 year warranty helps with some peace of mind. Thanks for the dual reviews!

I bet the neighbors in that same neighborhood love you!!

Both great deals for your buck!

That N is pretty hot. I have a GTI but I'm really liking how much more aggressive the N looks.

How would you compare this to an eco boost premium mustang.

I would definitely choose the Veloster N, just wish the pano sunroof was an option. Black with that red looks amazing. (Nissan called and wants their Nismo trim back) Just wonder if the OCD in me would ever get over the different design on each side of that car to make the 3rd door function.

Nice comparison. I am considering the 2021 Veloster R-Spec ($23,000) vs 2021 Veloster N ($33,000). I prefer the N but for $10k less I might get the R-Spec. I am not happy Hyundai increased the price of the N because now I am second guessing myself and comparing it to a Mustang GT 301a Manual ($36,000) which just complicates my decision making. The only downside of the Mustang is that I have had a 2017 model and sold it because I felt guilty spending so much money on fuel and being stuck in traffic and not really getting to enjoy all that power here in California moving at under 20 mph. Decisions, decisions, decisions. It is a great time to have options though. :)

Depends what kinda driving u do. If u just a cruiser u don't need the N model but sacrifice sum gas mileage & get WAY more performance & LSD better handling & 1 of the baddest hot hatches around lol

Can you do Veloster N 2021 DCT vs Veloster N 2021 manual? what are the main differences if any that are major other than the obvious?

I'd say avoid the earlier models, I got the 2013 year, it was really just experimental car with that turbo engine and Hyundai had to upgrade several parts inside the engine, because there were plenty of engine failures. There were also a couple of recalls related to fuel delivery and ECM reprogramming. Also the ride was much harsher/worse than either of these cars. I had to downsize my wheels to 17s, just to get it acceptable on not so perfect roads.

Any word on changes to the new model year N veloster?

Velostar Turbo N love the pops and crackles! I do not like the IPad infotainment. I would love to test drive this one!

Veloster N PP all the way. The anti lag and e-dif are just amazing.
