Model overview

The Hyundai Veloster is a coupé manufactured by Hyundai as 2011. Sales began in South Korea in 2011 and North America later that year. It was launched at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2011 and fills the space left when Hyundai abandoned the Hyundai Tiburon after the 2008 model year.

The car varies from many rivals with its asymmetrical door configuration, highlighting one large door on the driver side and two smaller doors on the passenger side. This setup is more commonly seen in commercial cars and minivans.

The Veloster comes with two available powertrains to choose from. The base engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. All trims with the Turbo are powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. With all models and trims, power is sent to the front wheels, and transmission options include a six-speed manual, a six-speed automatic transmission, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
