Just what is it about the Veloster that has captured the hearts of drivers across the country? Maybe it's its unique three-door layout. Maybe it's the budget-friendly starting price of $17,300 or the fact that it boasts 40 mpg on the highway. Probably a combination of all of the above, and then some, if we had to venture a guess. But let's talk specifics.
About that three-door design: the Hyundai Veloster has one driver-side door and two passenger-side doors, as well as the traditional hatchback rear door. That means, you get all of the styling of coupe, with easy access to the roomy back seat like a traditional sedan. As Hyundai says, the Veloster boasts an "Exclusive venue. Secret Door. Bouncer not included."1
At $17,300, the Veloster is incredibly well-equipped. Standard features include a peppy 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine, mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or an automated dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. It rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels and also boasts heated side-view mirrors and a rear spoiler.
Technology includes full power accessories, Bluetooth/iPod connectivity, a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio and USB streaming. A seven-inch touchscreen with Pandora (for iPhone) and Hyundai BlueLink telematics are also standard.
We haven't even mentioned the available packages. Style adds 18-inch wheels, a chrome grille, foglights, a panoramic sunroof and an eight-speaker sound system. Leatherette upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob are also included. Tech can be added on top of the Style package, which includes automatic headlights, rear parking sensors, navigation, a rearview camera and keyless ignition/entry.
So there you have it: a four passenger hatchback with the styling of a coupe and all of the technology you could possibly need at a price that's manageable.
