The Veloster, which takes its name from the terms velocity and roadster, was unveiled this week at the Seoul Motor Show. Hyundai's vice-president of design, Oh Suk-Geun, says they wanted to try something different with the new prototype.
"We're keenly aware that we need radically new models for the Y-generation, the first-time, twentysomething buyer, and this is really a bold new direction," he says.
The Veloster features a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. It has a panoramic glass roof and 20-inch alloy wheels.
Hyundai also unveiled the FD Elantra Wagon, which could indicate a return to the small wagon segment.
But Hyundai says no decision has been made as to whether the wagon will come to Australia.
The display model was styled at the company's European Design Centre and has been fitted with a 1.6-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine.
