Hyundai VelosterOverview

Not to be outdone by Toyota’s stylish Scion division, Hyundai turned to its Premium Youth Lab for the Veloster.

Based on a show car design, and first released for the 2012 model year as a replacement for the Tiburon, the hatchback features a three-door configuration—one door on the driver’s side and two doors on the passenger side. The 1.6 liter engine in the base model produces a respectable 138 horsepower; a turbocharged version ups output to a healthy 201 horsepower. In typical Hyundai fashion, the Veloster’s style and performance can be had for an affordable price.
