The Veloster N is a Hyundai that delivers high-performance performance. The Veloster may not be for everyone, even though it comes in an N-flavored version. A turbocharged four-pot, front-wheel-drive engine isn’t going the distance for some car enthusiasts. Those who have had a passion in cars over the past decade will agree.
