Veloster Replacement Incoming

The third car has yet to be announced but is rumoured to be a replacement for the Veloster, which has already been axed in the UK and is set to be axed globally at the end of its lifespan. The new N car is thought to be a small two-door coupe similar to the Veloster.

i30 N straight into Tough Competition

Woong-Chul Yang, Vice Chairman of Namyang Research and Development Centre, stated that the new i30 N would have front wheel drive and under 300BHP. This puts it directly in the path of the Ford Focus ST, and follows Korean rivals Kia with their Pro-cee’d GT into the fiercely competitive hot hatch environment.
