Veloster N demonstrates Hyundai’s approach to high-performance cars. By equipping Veloster N with N DCT, drivers get performance and convenience at the same time, ”said Thomas Schemera, Head of Products Division, Hyundai Motor. “Anyone who wants a fun driving experience will take the opportunity to drive the new Veloster N, an everyday sports car with racetrack capabilities.”
N Eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission
Hyundai developed the N DCT with manual or fully automatic modes and eight speeds to improve acceleration and efficiency. N DCT is equipped with electronic actuators that operate with the double clutch, providing driving comfort, fuel efficiency and driving fun. Unlike a dry dual-clutch transmission, the wet DCT N uses oil to significantly improve lubrication and cooling performance, as required in higher torque applications. The new wet type N dual-clutch transmission uses an electric oil pump to increase thermal resistance and reduce direct parasitic resistance in the powertrain. The N DCT was fully developed in-house by N engineers, with a fun fit approach to driving.
Manual shift logic similar to a race
This fun-to-drive fit lens is further enhanced through an aggressive shift feel that is accentuated by the “push” performance. When braking, with the driver resisting forward g forces, the lowest gears are selected with an ergonomic forward push of the gear selector. In contrast, under the backward acceleration g forces, the highest gears are selected by a natural backward pull of the lever.
N Grin Shift
The N DCT even comes with gaming features that enhance driving fun. N Grin Shift (NGS) increases maximum torque by seven percent from 260 pound-feet. at 278 lb-ft. by allowing a temporary turbocharger supercharger and maximizing transmission response. When activated, the N Grin Shift mode causes the powertrain to switch to its sportiest program for up to 20 seconds (enough to pass). Also, the stream customization settings are now available in the “Custom” display mode.
N Power Shift and N Track Sense Shift
N Power Shift (NPS) is activated when the car accelerates with an acceleration demand of more than 90 percent, mitigating the reduction in torque by using upshifts to deliver maximum power to the wheels through each gear change . This gives the driver a responsive feeling of dynamic acceleration when shifting, with a factory-estimated time of zero to 60 mph of 5.6 seconds. N Track Sense Shift (NTS) detects when road conditions are optimal for dynamic driving and automatically activates, selecting the correct gear and shift timing for optimal performance.
Customizing the driving experience
Along with other updated features like Rev Matching, Launch Control and Overboost, Veloster N is optimized to automatically detect driving styles and road conditions to optimize shift points. For example, the car will maintain lower gears for longer in performance driving for better acceleration out of corners. Conversely, if the driver is aggressively pushing the car on a race track, the car will use the full range of available engine RPM to maximize performance. All of these features can be configured on Veloster N’s enhanced infotainment system, using the latest operating system displayed on an eight-inch high-definition screen.
N DCT Engineering
The Veloster N DCT transmission employs two clutch assemblies, one for odd gears and one for even and reverse gears. The clutch actuator assembly uses a lightweight electric motor system for increased efficiency, an optimized shift response, and compact packaging. It also deploys an external damper to improve NVH (noise, vibration, and roughness). The DCT uses an electromechanical gear actuator, which offers a lightweight design, increased fuel efficiency, and precise shift control through the electronic engine control unit. The DCT gear set uses hollow input shafts for an ultra-light and extremely responsive shifting character.
Light sports seats N
The new N Light Sports Seats are wrapped in synthetic leather upholstery and fabric to keep the driver firmly in position during spirited driving. These track-ready seats are slimmer and lighter, with a weight reduction of 4.4 lbs. The N Light sports seats have an illuminated N logo on the upper part of the backrest, adding to the interior aesthetics. The N logo lighting works in conjunction with other interior lights to create a distinctive interior environment.
New advanced standard driver assistance features
Veloster N adds a myriad of new standard driver assistance features including: Front Collision Avoidance Assistance, Lane Tracking Assistance, Lane Keeping Assistance, Driver Attention Warning, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assistance and Warning of rear cross traffic collision.
