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
