5 reasons to buy the 2021 Hyundai Veloster N

1. Eye-catching style 

In a crowded parking lot, you'll appreciate the 2021 Veloster N's distinctive silhouette. Beyond its fun features, like the two-stage rear spoiler and dual exhaust outlets, the 2021 Veloster N has the style of a coupe and the practicality of a hatchback. The two-plus-one passenger doors are an appealing feature that offers practicality for your second-row pals, particularly if you travel with roommates or need to regularly affix child or infant seating. 

2. Fun to drive 

The roar of the Veloster’s 275-hp, turbocharged 2.0L powertrain may set the tone immediately, but this hot hatch has plenty of thrills still to discover. For track days with friends, you’ll love the Veloster N’s launch control feature; it balances tight traction with optimized acceleration, every time. For a customized driving experience, the 2021 Veloster N also offers Eco, Normal, and Sport driving modes, as well as N-mode, which allows you to fine-tune throttle response, traction settings, steering weight, and more. 

3. Useful driver aids  

Beyond the Veloster N’s exterior style and fun engine, this hatchback is well-equipped to offer exceptional road manners. The 2021 Veloster N has some impressive standard driver assistance features, which you’ll appreciate in busy downtown traffic and on the freeway.  Assisting your awareness, forward collision-avoidance assist scans the road ahead for potential hazards, while the blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic collision warning are useful for staying mindful of other road users on gridlocked highway lanes and in parking lots respectively. 

4. Easy connectivity 

If you want to elevate your commute, the 2021 Hyundai Veloster N’s entertainment and connectivity setup is a class act. The eight-inch touchscreen offers easy access to the Infinity® premium audio system, which includes a subwoofer for richer sounds and Clari-Fi music restoration technology. Also featured as standard is Bluetooth® hands-free calling functionality, and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto connectivity for your favorite playlists and audiobooks. 

5. More standard sporty features  

Yes, the 2021 Veloster N is an exceptionally fun hatchback, but it takes standard features seriously, offering up a whole raft of high-end tech as standard. Previously only offered as part of a Veloster N add-on package in past model years, the 2021 Veloster N now gets a standard limited-slip front differential for improved traction, 19-inch alloy wheels, and larger brakes.
