2014 Hyundai VELOSTER

Hyundai's convention-shattering Veloster adds even more convenience, safety and performance for 2014, further increasing the appeal of the popular sporty coupe.

Both Veloster and Veloster Turbo models feature cutting-edge powertrain technologies like direct injection, optimizing their appeal to youthful customers by combining excellent fuel economy, spirited performance and low emissions without compromise.

Veloster's unique design takes inspiration from a high-performance sport bike. Veloster has distinctive black A-pillars that give the glass a motorcycle helmet visor appearance. In the front is an aggressive form of Hyundai's signature hexagonal front grille, hood scoop detailing, and unique Hyundai-signature LED position lights.

Inside, the center stack and controls resemble a sport bike fuel tank and incorporate an available push-button starter. The air vents are inspired by motorcycle tailpipes, while the floor console mirrors the seat of a bike. Metallic accents abound throughout the interior. Alloy pedals and a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob are also available.

Veloster combines the style of a coupe and the functionality of a hatchback, while also incorporating an additional passenger-side door.

The Gamma 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is the smallest Hyundai engine to use direct injection. This technology helps deliver more power, superior efficiency, lower emissions and higher reliability. The 1.6-liter engine with manual transmission delivers a peak output of 138 horsepower and maximum torque of 123 lb.-ft.

The 1.6-liter turbocharged, direct-injected four-cylinder engine produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. 2014 Veloster Turbo models add Active Sound Design to enhance intake and exhaust powertrain sound character inside the cabin for an even more involving driving experience.
