Hyundai has taken its range in a new direction with the Veloster. If the admiring looks and comments we received during our week at the wheel are any indication of admiration, then Veloster is set to be a sales success. All the more so when interested parties realise it has a starting price of only $23,990.
Veloster is a coupe on the driver's side and a hatch on the other. Quirky, yes. Practical: absolutely. The bane of owning a coupe has always been getting passengers in and out of the rear seats. This simple solution overcomes this. The forward hinged rear door on Veloster has the handle cleverly integrated into the door so that it is deliberately difficult to spot.
Part of Veloster's visual appeal is the diving roof line and expansive hatch lid. This gives the car its sporting lines. The front is aggressive and distinctive and the rear end is also impressive. There are two Veloster models, Veloster and Veloster +.
