Backed by generations of 2.0 liter turbocharged performance, the Hyundai Veloster N has finally arrived. While the turbocharged Veloster is a pleasant enough vehicle, Hyundai has really turned up the performance wick with the N.
The Hyundai Veloster N Performance Package cranks up the power, laying down 275 horsepower at 6,000 RPM. At the heart of the turbo Veloster is a twin-scroll turbocharger that helps eliminate turbo lag and delivers 260 lb-ft at 1,450 RPM.
Putting down that power can be a challenge, as any turbocharged owner can attest to. The Hyundai Veloster N mates a six speed transmission to the powerplant, and sends all that torque through an electronic limited slip differential.
Combined with a bevy of electronic performance upgrades such as variable suspension dampening and exhaust controls, it’s no wonder why people think the Hyundai Veloster N could potentially give the Civic Type R a run for it’s money.
Speaking of which, we know that the Type R has taken on Nürburgring. What about the Veloster N? Let’s take a look at how it performs at speed. If you are wondering about our own 2019 Hyundai Veloster N review, you can read it here.
Inside the 2019 Hyundai Veloster N Suspension
The time behind our Hyundai Veloster N showed just how remarkable this hatchback is. The suspension itself was most noticeable, especially when you hit the checkered flag on the steering wheel.
This simple flip of the switch activates Hyundai’s active suspension. This load control system uses a complex electronic control to enhance and keep the power down to the ground. What’s more drastic changes of speed and direction is countered by the active suspension technology.
Give the car more throttle and watch the rear end align perfectly. Neutral stance at speed doesn’t even begin to cover just how great the Veloster N handles. Oversteer a problem? Want to lift? No need to worry is what the Hyundai Veloster N seems to say, I got this covered.
The 2019 Veloster N load control suspension system simply works. At speed it’s simply remarkable at the results and the feedback from the Performance Mode found in the N.
