2020 Hyundai Veloster N

The Veloster N is Hyundai's hot hatch, a three-door coupe-styled hatchback aimed squarely at enthusiasts who want a serious track toy they can drive daily. The N's adjustable drive modes let you dial the steering, suspension, and exhaust from civil to snarling, so it behaves on the commute and hunkers down on a back road. It's one of the sharpest front-drivers you can buy, with a limited-slip differential and a chassis that rotates eagerly into corners. Inside, you get grippy N-branded sport seats and a flat-bottom wheel, though the back seat is snug and cargo space trails most rivals. The Veloster N is the only trim that gets the track-focused suspension, limited-slip differential, and the full N performance treatment. Its 2.0L I4 makes 250 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed manual that rewards every shift with a crisp, mechanical feel. The N's electronically controlled suspension stiffens in N mode for cornering, yet softens enough for daily driving when you dial it back.
