2011-2012 Hyundai Veloster review
Meet the Hyundai Veloster: twice the car you're used to. The style of a coupe, the functionality of a hatchback; pleasure redefined.
With its distinctive fluidic design, unique third door access, smart 1.6 direct-injection engine and advanced features that connect with the driver, the new Hyundai Veloster is a one-of-a-kind Coupe.
You'll be amazed by Veloster's 1.6L GDI engine. It's both strong and efficient, generating 138 horsepower and delivering up to 40 Hwy MPG. That's better highway fuel economy than the Honda CR-Z hybrid.
Typically found on high-end cars, the sophisticated 6-speed EcoShift Dual Clutch Transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters incorporates the latest technology while delivering smooth and efficient power.
Engineers for the environment. Extensive computer modeling and powertrain performance mapping was used to modify engine and transmission control, giving you improved real-world fuel economy—up to 7% based on internal tests.
A modified front suspension featuring gas-charged hydraulic shock absorbers delivers a sportier ride while the Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) has been tuned for increased steering response. Large front and rear stabilizer bars reduce body roll and improve handling and control on the curves.
Innovative anti-gravity device. Every Veloster equipped with an EcoShift Dual Clutch Transmission comes with standard Hillstart Assist Control. This confidence-inspiring feature is designed to minimize backward rolling when starting from a stop on steep ascents.
