Hyundai Veloster Review

Hyundai’s stunning Veloster coupe-hatchback is a brilliantly unique proposition. Practical as well as performance oriented, the Veloster is styled with a sense of movement and balance and is an individual and bold statement, even down to the choice of colours.

The Veloster is one car with two sides. Thanks to its innovative asymmetric 1+2 door configuration, the groundbreaking Hyundai is an athletic coupe and a spacious hatchback rolled into one, with easy access for driver and passengers. With a subtly aggressive bodykit hinting at the Veloster’s levels of performance but sleek and svelte proportions giving it a reassuringly premium stance, Hyundai’s performance flagship cuts a real dash.

Inside, Hyundai’s sports-premium theme is continued. A seven-inch multimedia touchscreen controlling all your in-car entertainment sits proud on the dash, and with Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition, and a four-speaker MP3 compatible stereo system, the Veloster is a superb place to sit. There is chrome detailing, gloss black and alloy-effect trim, and leather steering wheel and gear knob. This is further enhanced with the leather seat pack available on Sport models.

With a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 138hp mated to Hyundai’s snicky six-speed manual or high-tech six-speed DCT automatic, the Veloster will complete the dash from 0-62 mph in 9.7 and 10.3 seconds respectively. It will run on, where legal, to a top speed of 125mph.

Thanks to the Veloster’s lightweight design and Hyundai’s attention to detail, the Korean firm’s latest coupe is as much about the corners as it is about the straights. Drivers will discover that guiding the agile and chunky four-square sportscar down a twisty ribbon of road is a rewarding breeze.

Totally original and totally cutting edge, the Hyundai Veloster will make a statement wherever you drive. Like all Hyundais too, it comes with a full five-year unlimited mileage warranty for complete peace of mind. Check out the full range at T W White & Sons today.
