In the US, the all-new 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI is keeping the hot hatch segment alive. While it&#39;s faster, lighter, and more fun to drive than its predecessor, the Golf GTI is facing some stiff competition from the Hyundai Veloster N, which has proven to be a formidable hot hatch.

Since the Veloster N launched, Hyundai&#39;s N performance range has expanded with the new Elantra N sedan and Kona N crossover. To find out how the Kona N fares against the Golf GTI, South African YouTube channel CAR pitted the two high-performance compacts against each other in a drag race.

CAR/YouTube CAR/YouTube In terms of specifications, the Golf GTI packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 13 hp and 15 lb-ft of torque compared to the seventh-generation model. Power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. For comparison, the Hyundai Kona N packs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder good for 276 hp and 289 lb-ft, or 286 hp with overboost, and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Like the Golf GTI, power is sent to the front wheels only. While the Golf GTI is down on power, it&#39;s a lot lighter than the Kona N, with a curb weight of 3,113 pounds (manual) compared to 3,340 pounds, making for an interesting race. The Golf GTI with the DCT was used in this drag race, making for a surprisingly evenly-matched clash.

CAR/YouTube CAR/YouTube Initially, the lighter Golf GTI gets a head start but struggles to get traction, allowing the Kona N to overtake and take the lead. Towards the end, the Golf GTI starts to catch up, but the Kona N crosses the line first thanks to its extra muscle and beefier tires.

Unfortunately, the YouTube channel didn&#39;t reveal if launch control was activated or if the Kona&#39;s N Grin Shift was enabled adding an extra 10 horsepower. Nevertheless, it was an incredibly close finish and an impressive achievement for the Kona N considering its heft, but the Golf GTI put up a fair fight and was far from embarrassed.<br> CAR/YouTube CAR/YouTube CAR/YouTube <h4>Join The Discussion</h4> Show Comments (9) <h4>Gallery</h4> 7 Photos Tags: #Volkswagen News #Hyundai News #Sports Cars #Video <h4>Related Cars</h4> Volkswagen Golf GTI Hyundai Kona N LoginSign Up Home News Features Car Reviews Car Advice 2021 CarBuzz Awards New Cars Used Cars Future Cars Compare Cars Sell My Car Car Dealerships Buy Here Pay Here Used Car Reviews Popular Tags Cars # Video # TOP # Spy Shots # Reveal # Rumor # Auto Show # Supercar # Tuning # Car Culture # Industry News # Motorsport Acura Alfa Romeo Aston Martin Audi Bentley BMW Bollinger Bugatti Buick Cadillac Caterham Chevrolet Chrysler Dodge Ferrari Fiat Fisker Ford Genesis GMC Hennessey Honda Hyundai Infiniti Jaguar Jeep Karma Kia Koenigsegg Lamborghini Land Rover Lexus Lincoln Lordstown Lotus Lucid Motors Maserati Mazda McLaren Mercedes-Benz Mini Mitsubishi Nissan Pagani Polestar Porsche Ram Rimac Rivian Rolls-Royce Spyker Subaru Tesla Toyota Volkswagen Volvo By Make Acura Alfa Romeo Aston Martin Audi Bentley BMW Bollinger Bugatti Buick Cadillac Caterham Chevrolet Chrysler Dodge Ferrari Fiat Fisker Ford Genesis GMC Hennessey Honda Hyundai Infiniti Jaguar Jeep Karma Kia Koenigsegg Lamborghini Land Rover Lexus Lincoln Lordstown Lotus Lucid Motors Maserati Mazda McLaren Mercedes-Benz Mini Mitsubishi Nissan Pagani Polestar Porsche Ram Rimac Rivian Rolls-Royce Spyker Subaru Tesla Toyota Volkswagen Volvo By Car Type SUVs Crossovers Sedans Coupes Trucks Sports Cars Wagons Vans Hatchbacks Convertibles Small Cars Luxury Cars Electric Cars Hybrid Cars Future Cars By Price Up to $15K $15K - $25K $25K - $35K $35K - $45K $45K - $55K $55K - $75K $75K - $100K $100K - $200K $200K - $300K Above $300K Back To Top
