The Hyundai Veloster Concept was shown a long time ago at the Seoul Motor Show. This coupe looks mind blowing and seems to be inspired from the Honda CR-Z. If Hyundai can make cars as good looking as this one with such futuristic interiors, we wonder what stops them from giving cars like the Verna and Sonata a soul. Hyundai introduced the Veloster three-door coupe at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is a compact coupe with a unique third door for easy rear-seat access. It features Hyundai’s Blue Link telematics system, Pandora internet radio with seven-inch touch-screen display and a new 1.6-liter direct-injected four-cylinder engine mated to Hyundai’s first dual-clutch transmission.
Hyundai has taken inspiration from high-performance sport bikes for the design of the Veloster. With distinctive black A-pillars that give the glass a motorcycle helmet visor appearance, the front is an aggressive form of Hyundai’s signature hexagonal front grille, hood scoop detailing, and unique Hyundai-signature LED position lights. Optional packages add a chrome grille surround, piano black highlights, fog lights, and a massive panoramic sunroof. In profile the Hyundai Veloster features “Fluidic Sculpture” character lines, muscular wheel arches, bodycolor door handles and mirrors, and wraparound headlights and taillights. The Veloster comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels and offers two types of 18-inch wheels. The Veloster’s dynamic rear design has a distinctive glass hatch, dual centered chrome exhaust tips and black lower fascia. The Hyundai i20 is due for a facelift and should take inspiration from the Veloster in the styling department.
