Hyundai Veloster N Tires

Introduced in 2011, the Hyundai Veloster is a hatchback sport-compact coupe easily identified by its single door on the driver’s side and two doors on the passenger side. The Veloster is designed for performance and practicality, with an optional turbo 2.0L 4-cyl that delivered 168 hp while still registering 28 mpg city-38 mpg highway. Second-generation Velosters kept the same asymmetric body style. Still, they featured an overhauled suspension design and driver-assistance package (lane departure alert, automatic emergency braking, driver attention monitor) as standard equipment for all models. The Veloster-N variant is more performance-oriented, with an 8-speed wet-clutch automatic or 6-speed manual and a 275 hp turbo 4-cyl as standard equipment for a 0-60 time of under six seconds. Even with that power and performance, the Veloster N is rated at 22 mpg city-28 mpg highway. The Veloster N comes standard with a 7-speaker Infinity audio setup, an 8.0” touchscreen, and remote start, among other niceties.
