HYUNDAI VELOSTER N DISCONTINUED, NEW N MODELS TEASED AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Veloster N has officially been discontinued, marking the end of an era for affordable enthusiast cars. The reviewer expresses significant disappointment, highlighting the Veloster N's unique blend of adjustable suspension and exhaust, funky styling, and accessible performance, which set it apart from competitors like the GTI and Type R. While acknowledging the strengths of the Kona N and Elantra N, the reviewer laments the loss of the Veloster N's compact dimensions and its position as a more affordable performance option. The discontinuation is attributed to Hyundai's strategic shift towards larger models like the Kona and Elantra, and the need to reallocate factory resources. The video also touches on Hyundai teasing new 'N' electric models, including the Ioniq 6 N and potentially the Ioniq 5 N, but expresses concern that these will be expensive, further diminishing the market for affordable performance vehicles. The Accent's discontinuation is also noted as another blow to the affordable car segment.
