2022 Hyundai Veloster N review

1. High performance

The 2022 Hyundai Veloster N offers a little bit of everything—sport, space, and sleek style. With an enhanced 2.0L four-cylinder engine, the Veloster N packs 275 hp and can manage 260 lb-ft of torque. Add to that Hyundai's N Grin Shift technology, which at the push of a button gives you a 20-second boost of performance, and you'll feel like you're in a race car. With an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined, the Veloster N offers solid mileage and sporty performance.

2. Detailed drive

If you're a fan of manual transmission or have always dreamed of learning how to drive stick, you can't go wrong with the 2022 Hyundai Veloster N's dual-clutch technology. While a system with two separate clutches might sound like an extra layer of complexity, engineers have improved performance without making driving more complicated. Specifically, the six- or eight-speed "wet" clutch system provides better cooling, high-torque functioning, and crucially, shifting. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel make gear changes as easy as a simple fingertip pull. Or, if you're looking for the Veloster N's sleek style and performance but would prefer to pass on the stick shift, an automatic transmission trim is available.

3. Touch of color

Aesthetics count, and the 2022 Hyundai Veloster N doesn't disappoint. Whatever color you choose (blue, black, or white), sharp-styled red highlights decal the coupe's base and curves. There's enough flash to make people want to catch a glimpse, without attracting an entire crowd. This makes the Veloster N the kind of car you'll love to look back at in the parking lot.

4. Comfy interior

The 2022 Hyundai Veloster N features a redesigned interior. The front N-branded bucket seats come standard with leather and suede, which means your back will be supported and cozy on long weekend joy rides. Space is also worth a shout-out, which is surprising for a sports car. With seating for four, you'll enjoy 42.6 inches of legroom up front, and your backseat passengers will find another 34.1 inches in the rear. The backseats split 60/40, which when folded expands the standard cargo space from a modest 19.9 cu-ft to a roomy 44.5 cu-ft.

5. Tech support

In addition to the sporty look and feel, entertainment features and driver aids maximize the desirability of the 2022 Hyundai Veloster N. Enjoy an eight-inch touchscreen display and an eight-speaker Infinity^® audio system with Apple CarPlay^®, Android Auto^™, and Bluetooth^® capabilities. While you pump your favorite tunes, the Veloster N will support your drive with blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and cruise control. Also new on the 2022 model are parking sensors, which come standard.
