2019 Hyundai Veloster N | Car Review | Driving.ca

The Veloster N shows Hyundai is serious about building a legit hot hatch, but does it live up to the hype? We put it to the test. Finally. Hyundai finally did it. The Veloster might've been promising on paper, but it didn't live up to that performance potential where it actually matters — you know, in real life. Just like its Turbo forerunner, on paper the Veloster N is promising. This time around, a 2.0-litre turbo-four kicks out 275 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, available as early as 1,450 rpm, and it's hooked up to a six-speed manual. The N also sees a laundry list of upgrades to the chassis, suspension, and powertrain, including more bracing and cooling ducts, stickier tires, an electronic limited-slip differential and adjustable dampers, an active exhaust system, and — you know what? We can go over all of the N's enhancements over the standard Veloster with a fine-tooth comb, but there's no fun in that. The key difference here is, in the real world, the N actually delivers on the performance its spec sheet promises. Full review: https://wp.me/p3LQCT-1wYq Follow Driving!
