The inside
The Veloster N comes with exclusive N-design front cloth sport seats with performance-focused bolstering, N-design steering wheel, shift knob, N-logo door sill plates, and N-design electroluminescent instrument cluster. Interior details are accented by an N performance blue accent theme.
As engine speed approaches redline, the N-design center cluster displays a progressive sequential shift indicator, alerting the driver of an impending shift point for maximum acceleration. N-brand metallic door sill scuff plates greet the driver and front passenger.
The engine, etc.
The 2019 Veloster N runs on a larger 2.0L turbocharged powerplant with direct injection. The engine produces 275 hp at 6,000 RPM and 260 lb-ft of torque from 1,450-4,700 RPM.
The turbo system intercooler is isolated from the condenser and radiator for more-efficient cooling of the intake charge. The system also benefits from a two-stage induction system for maximum output at all RPM ranges.
The high performance engine is backed up by a close-ratio, short-throw six-speed manual transmission with downshift rev-matching capability. In addition, the powertrain sports a multi-mode, high-flow active sport exhaust system with a variable exhaust actuator.
Torque is driven to the road surface by an N Power Sense Axle design. Veloster N’s Power Sense Axle geometry features a zero-scrub radius for more precise steering, quicker response, and a direct on-center feel, with increased steering linearity. The geometry is further optimized for linear torque build up and corner-exit precision. Roll angle is also decreased due to a shorter roll-moment arm, resulting in enhanced grip.
The motor-driven power steering system is rack-mounted and secured at three locations for reduced flex and more direct handling, especially during high-performance driving. For even greater body rigidity and suspension precision under high dynamic cornering loads, a specially designed, unobtrusive rear strut brace reinforces the rear multi-link suspension mounting points.
