Although it has said goodbye to Brazilian streets, the Hyundai Veloster N continues to electrify enthusiasts around the world with its latest 2022 version, proving that sporty manual cars still have a special place in the hearts of speed enthusiasts.

Since its launch in 2011, the Hyundai Veloster has captivated fans with its innovative design and remarkable performance. Starting with a 1.6L engine and 140 horsepower, the Veloster has evolved significantly, introducing a Turbo version in 2012 with 201 horsepower. In 2019, a new chapter was opened with the launch of the Veloster N, marking the most recent update of the model in 2022. This car not only honors its legacy but also redefines expectations with a redesign reminiscent of the prestigious Golf R, and details that highlight its sporty nature.

Engine of the Hyundai Veloster N

Under the hood of the 2022 Hyundai Veloster N, we find the beating heart of its innovation: a 2.0 turbo engine that pushes the limits with 275 horsepower in the Performance version, maintaining the characteristic front-wheel drive. Additional modifications made by enthusiasts can elevate this number to 300 horsepower, highlighting the versatility and sporty potential of the Veloster N.

Details That Set It Apart

The aesthetics of the Veloster N are complemented by exclusive wheels, diamond paint, and red ceramic brakes, while the side of the car features a design that suggests a more pronounced width. The interior does not lag behind, with racing seats that nod to Hyundai’s sporting heritage and a cockpit that prioritizes a dynamic driving experience, emphasized by a six-speed manual transmission that appeals to motorsport purists.

The Hyundai Veloster in Brazil

The launch of the Hyundai Veloster in Brazil was marked by great anticipation. With its revolutionary three-door design and promise of sporty performance, the model quickly captured public attention. However, the Veloster’s journey on Brazilian soil was turbulent, standing out for both its innovations and the controversies that accompanied it.

Upon arriving in Brazil, the Veloster promised a new era for sporty compacts with its 1.6L engine. However, consumers faced a different reality: the vehicle available in the Brazilian market had only 128hp, the same power as the HB20, a significantly more affordable model with a distinct proposal. This discrepancy between performance expectations and reality generated discontent among automotive enthusiasts.

Hyundai CAOA, the importer of the Veloster in Brazil, faced criticism not only for the power issue but also for discrepancies between the advertised specifications and the characteristics of the delivered models. Features such as GPS, electric adjustments for the front seats, 8 airbags, and premium sound system often did not match what was promised, culminating in lawsuits for false advertising.

Competition and Exit from the Brazilian Market

The fierce competition in the sporty compact segment, combined with the high price and controversies over its performance and equipment, led to the discontinuation of the Veloster in Brazil in 2014, just three years after its arrival. This withdrawal reflects the difficulties of the model in meeting the high expectations generated around its initial proposal.

Despite the challenges faced in Brazil, the Veloster continues to be an attractive option in other markets, with Hyundai introducing new generations that promise to surpass the limitations observed in the previous model. While the new Hyundai Veloster N symbolizes the brand’s evolution and commitment to performance and innovation, the return of the model to Brazil remains uncertain, leaving a legion of fans hoping for a future reunion with this sporty icon.
