For the 2021 model year, Hyundai has eliminated nearly all Veloster models, retaining only the high-performance Veloster N. A fun and lively performer, this small hatchback from Korea stands out with agile handling and punchy looks. The turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder under the hood delivers as much as 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The standard six-speed manual gearbox can now be replaced by an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
