The new 2019 Veloster N represents Hyundai's highest performance vehicle ever for the U.S. market.

Hyundai's N model leverages the outstanding, new-for-2019 Veloster platform, showcasing a higher level of performance appealing to enthusiasts.

With fun-to-drive character as a top priority, Veloster N has been developed to deliver thrilling cornering ability coupled with everyday sports car drivability and race track capability.

From the outside, Veloster N provides an exclusive N-design front fascia and grille with dedicated front air ducts for enhanced brake cooling. LED headlamps add a tech-focused design detail to the front visage as well.

In profile, exclusive N-design rocker side sills and available lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels with a machined-finish dual-spoke star design clearly differentiate the N model from other Veloster models. Tires are of the ultra-high performance category, with standard Michelin Pilot SuperSport summer tires for the 18-inch wheel design and Pirelli P-Zero summer tires for the 19-inch alloy wheel.

Veloster N offers a larger 2.0-liter, direct-injected turbocharged powerplant over the Veloster Turbo. When equipped with the optional performance package, the engine boasts an available 275 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque for responsive, thrilling performance.

The standard Veloster N powertrain produces 250 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. The high performance engine is backed up by a close-ratio, short-throw six-speed manual transmission with downshift rev-matching capability. The transmission uses carbon-coated synchro rings and gear material reinforcement for smoother operation and lower overall shift force coupled with a positive engagement feel.
