New Hyundai Veloster N Launched In US

The Korean carmaker Hyundai has launched its new addition in the US named the Hyundai Veloster N. During the Detroit motor show, the Hyundai has launched the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine which generates a maximum power of 275 bhp and a peak torque of 353 Nm in order to compete because of the North American alternative to the Hyundai i30N.

Hyundai i30 is recently launched in Europe and repeats the same five-door layout. Varyingly, the new Veloster maintains its unconventional asymmetrical model carrying four-door body and retains one door on the driver side and two doors on the passenger side.

The Hyundai N division uses the same raft of performance attributes like a roof-mounted rear wing and more aggressive bumpers to enhance the performance of the car.

The new Veloster N takes the same electronically-controlled suspension like the Hyundai i30N which has an ultra-aggressive N mode for considerable track driving mode. During hard driving, the setup puts down roll and thus increases composure.

The front wheel drive is maintained with a finite slip asymmetrical to scale up traction, whereas the features of the powertrain can be changed using the three traditional driving modes including Eco, Sport, Normal and N. Moreover, a fourth N custom setting delivers various settings.

The latest model also takes a Turbo model which works as a mediator between the regular range and the top variant. The turbo is powered by a 1.6-litre engine producing a maximum power of 204hp and a peak torque of 264 Nm. On a regular model, it takes naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre engine in relation to generating 149 hp of power in the regular car.

Hyundai clarified that the i30N has not been introduced in the US because of the model’s symmetry with the latest Veloster N.

The Hyundai is bringing an all-electric sedan, Hyundai WRC car, and i20 facelift at the upcoming Delhi Auto Expo 2018.
