Hyundai has announced that it will discontinue the Accent and Veloster N models for the 2023 lineup. In their place, the company will be introducing new, more fuel-efficient models. The Accent has been a mainstay in the Hyundai lineup for over two decades, but its time has ended. The new Elantra will take its place, offering similar features but with improved fuel economy.
The Veloster N has been a popular choice among performance enthusiasts. Still, it will be discontinued in favor of the new Veloster. This new model will be more fuel-efficient and provide a better driving experience overall.
Hyundai is Shuffling Its Lineup
The small car segment took another loss on Thursday, with Hyundai announcing the end of production of the Accent compact car and the Veloster N hatchback. The Accent has been in production for over twenty years, but the current model is long in the tooth and needs to sell better. As a result, Hyundai is discontinuing it to focus on more popular models.
The Veloster N is a recent addition to the lineup, and it's been a bit of a performance hit with reviewers. But it's also been a sales flop, so Hyundai is discontinuing it. That leaves a few vehicles as the only small cars in Hyundai's lineup. None is strictly a powerhouse, but they should be enough to hold the segment together for a while.
The discontinuation of the Hyundai Veloster from the U.S. market was not surprising to automotive industry analysts. The company had already announced that it would stop production of all but the N performance variant for the 2022 model year. The move follows weak sales of the sporty hatchback, which has been on the market since 2011.
The Veloster has been a niche player in the U.S. market, with limited appeal among buyers. The hatchback's styling has been polarizing. Its performance has been overshadowed by more popular rivals such as the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla. Hyundai is in the midst of a major product overhaul, and the company is focusing its resources on more popular and profitable models. The Veloster N will continue to be offered, and Hyundai will likely introduce a new car version soon.
