Hyundai Veloster N

Some of my favorites cars are of the hot hatch variety – and the Hyundai Veloster N is one of the best hot hatches you can buy today. I last drove the Veloster N back when it debuted in 2019 when it was only available with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

I’m already a very big fan of the Hyundai Veloster N. With prices starting below $30,000 for the 275hp model, I think it represents the best performance bang for the buck of any new car you can buy today.

Hot on the heels of the reveal of the newly redesigned Veloster at NAIAS 2018, Hyundai took wraps off a special enthusiast model which could finally be the Korean hot hatch we’ve been hoping for. The Veloster N is the first of what I hope will be a long line of performance-oriented Hyundai models from the company’s new “N” division, and it looks like a winner so far.
