2022 Hyundai Veloster N Interior and Cargo

If you're looking for customization levels similar to those in an Audi or BMW, you're going to be disappointed. Just one color configuration is offered: black fabric. Fortunately, the seats are spiced up with Performance Blue striping down the middle, seatbelts in the same hue, and some faux-aluminum accents on the door-release grips, seats, steering wheel, and gear-lever surround. The steering wheel is clad in perforated leather with contrast stitching and the shifter itself is leather-trimmed too, while the pedals are fashioned from alloy. With plenty of hard plastics, it's a little bit disappointing to sit here if you've just gotten out of something like a GTI, but fancier materials would also have meant a higher base price.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the Veloster N offers compromised cargo space. The opening is narrow and high, making loading tricky, and with only 19.9 cubic feet of volume, it'll take some creative packing to fit enough luggage for a weekend away. Fortunately, you can fold the rear seats in a 60/40 split to open up an area of 44.5 cubic feet.

In the cabin, you'll find a large glovebox, narrow door pockets with beverage holders, four cupholders, center armrest storage, and a little area in the center console for your phone and/or wallet.

作为标准,Veloster N拥有投影仪headlights, heated wing mirrors with integral turn signals, a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines, automatic climate control, a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat, a manually tilting/telescoping steering column, cruise control, a 4.2-inch color TFT driver-information display in the instrument cluster, keyless entry with push-button ignition, electronically controlled suspension, remote start via an app, a shift indicator, a variable valved exhaust system, a lap-timer, and on-board diagnostics. Safety equipment includes forward-collision detection with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, driver-attention warning, brake assist, lane-following assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

The infotainment system consists of an eight-inch touchscreen display hooked up to an eight-speaker Infinity sound system. It offers SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth with voice control, aux connectivity, a pair of USB ports, navigation, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. The good news is that the system is intuitive and easy to navigate, but the bad news is that the screen seems a little small compared to the offerings found in many new vehicles. Nevertheless, it looks decent and doesn't dominate the focal points of the cabin the way so many others do. This is a driver's car, and a big screen would be an unwanted distraction in such a machine.
