The Hyundai Veloster (Korean: 현대 벨로스터, romanized: Hyeondae Belloseuteo) is a hatchback coupé first produced in 2011 by Hyundai, with sales beginning in South Korea on March 10, 2011 and in Canada and the United States[N 1] since the fall of 2011. In South Korea, it is marketed under Hyundai's 'Premium Youth Lab'. It was unveiled on January 10, 2011, at the Detroit Auto Show, and fills the void left when Hyundai discontinued the Hyundai Tiburon after the 2008 model year.
The car differs from many competitors with its asymmetrical door configuration, featuring one large door on the driver side and two smaller doors on the passenger side. This configuration is more common on commercial vehicles and minivans. In North America, the Veloster is equipped with Blue Link, a new telematics system which will eventually be standard on all Hyundai models. The system is comparable to OnStar in GM vehicles, and provides customers with automatic crash notification, vehicle diagnostics, and remote control of vehicle features, among others.
Development and early concepts [edit]
HND-3 concept (2007) [edit]
The Hyundai HND-3 concept was the third sport compact concept car styled at Hyundai's Design and Technical Center . It included 2.0-liter DOHC Theta inline four-cylinder engine and five-speed automatic transmission. The concept car became a Veloster Coupe in 2011.
The car concept was unveiled at the 2007 Seoul Motor Show,[2] with the final production version released on January 11 at the Detroit Auto Show. The Veloster is developed under the codename FS, and is built on a modified version of the Cee'd's front-wheel drive platform.[3]

2013 Hyundai Veloster hatchback
In most of the world the Veloster Coupe production model uses a direct-injected 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine with 138 hp (103 kW), and 123 lb⋅ft (167 N⋅m) of torque at 4,850 rpm.[ citation needed ] A six-speed manual transmission is standard while a six-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with paddle shifters is available as an option. The DCT transmission was developed by Hyundai and is the first dual-clutch transmission from the company.[4] Official EPA fuel economy numbers are 27 mpg‑US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg‑imp) city, 37 mpg‑US (6.4 L/100 km; 44 mpg‑imp) highway and 31 mpg‑US (7.6 L/100 km; 37 mpg‑imp) combined for the manual while the dual clutch does 28 mpg‑US (8.4 L/100 km; 34 mpg‑imp) city, 37 mpg‑US (6.4 L/100 km; 44 mpg‑imp) highway and 31 mpg‑US (7.6 L/100 km; 37 mpg‑imp) combined.[5] For some markets like the Middle East, Chile and Brazil, the car is offered without GDI, making 128 hp.[6]
Pricing starts at US$17,800 in the U.S., and CAD in Canada excluding taxes and the destination fee. In the United States, two option packages are available: a style package and a tech package. Purchase of the tech package requires purchase of the style package as well. Options are not available outside the package, thus resulting in three trim levels: base, style, and tech. Each trim level is available with the DCT (optional) or manual transmission (standard)[7]
Michelin Pilot Super Sport 215/40ZR18 tires option was added to U.S. vehicle models with 18-inch wheels since 2012.[8]
In the UK, the car starts at GBP OTR ("on the road", which includes delivery and 1st year VED). European models do not have the option of tech or style packs and are instead split between two trim levels: Veloster Coupe and Veloster Coupe Sport. The sport model adds a panoramic sunroof, 18 inch wheels and full leather interior to the base model car. Cars for the European market come as standard with a 6-speed manual transmission and have the option of a DCT automatic gearbox. The range in Europe also includes a "BlueDrive" option, which adds low rolling resistance tires and stop-start technology to the engine in order to reduce emissions, but only on the entry level car.
Unlike the Mini Clubman, which features a pair of bi-parting side doors that are always located on the right of the car (irrespective of the market), the Veloster has different left and right hand drive configurations. The larger single door is always on the driver's side, and the two smaller doors are always on the passenger side. As a result, the rear passenger always exits on the curb side of the vehicle.
Veloster Turbo (2012–) [edit]
Hyundai Veloster SR Turbo (Australia)

The Veloster Turbo uses a 1.6L T-GDi Gamma engine that has different outputs depending on the market. In North America, the engine outputs 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp) at 6,000 rpm, and 27 kg⋅m (265 N⋅m; 195 lbf⋅ft) between 1,750–4,500 rpm. In other markets, such as Europe, it receives a lower-power engine outputting 186 PS (137 kW; 183 hp) at 5,500 rpm with the same 265 Nm of torque, but altered to come earlier in the rev range at 1500 rpm. A possible reason for the European market receiving the lower-powered engine may be because the Kia Pro Cee'd GT already makes use of the 150 kW engine. The car has three doors in North America and in Europe, making the Veloster Turbo's shooting brake body style both in North America and in Europe a relative novelty.
The Turbo further receives new body panels which add LED lights, very large twin exhausts, side skirts, a much larger front grille, turbo badging and extra equipment as standard, including push button start (satnav and back-up camera available on top trim level). The matte grey paint option is also available on the Turbo.
The Veloster Turbo was unveiled at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. The model shown was a concept vehicle with a special graphics package featuring a gray and yellow stripe running the length of the car, yellow trim on the front spoiler, side skirts and rear fascia, as well as a checkered flag theme on the side and roof spoiler and was also unveiled at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.[9]
The North American model went on sale in summer 2012 as a 2013 model year vehicle,[10] [N 1] with the choice of either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic.[11] The European version is only available with manual transmission.
The Veloster skipped production for 2017, as Hyundai prepared a new model for 2018.

Production [edit]
Hyundai recalled certain model year 2012 Veloster vehicles manufactured from November 1, 2011, through April 17, 2012 and equipped with panoramic sunroofs, for possible weakened sunroof during installation at the factory. The safety recall began on January 22, 2013.[30] In addition, model year 2012 Veloster vehicles manufactured from July 2, 2011, through February 27, 2012 and equipped with manual transmissions were recalled for binding of parking brake components caused by moisture and road grime.[31] [32]
Motorsports [edit]
Rhys Millen drove a version of Veloster race car with a 2-litre engine rated 500 hp with all wheel drive in the Summer X Games during 2011 US Rallycross Championship Series.[33] [34] The partnership between Rhys Millen Racing and Hyundai Motor America continued for 2012 Global RallyCross Championship season.[35] After Hyundai had announced it would no longer participate in North American motorsports, the 2011 Hyundai Veloster Global RallyCross race cars went on sale starting January 1, 2013.[36] [37]
Marketing [edit]
Hyundai partnered with the Rhys Millen Red Bull Rallycross team in the 2011 U.S.A Rallycross Championship. During the six planned races in 2011, the on-site activity focused on the performance-tuned production vehicles, Genesis Coupe and Veloster, and local brand managers gave attendees tours of the cars and collected attendee data via surveys on buyer interest and brand consideration. Large screens played race footage and rallycross highlights. In the pit area, which was open to all ticket holders, consumers could sit in the vehicles, pick up free merchandise and meet the drivers. The attendee area of the pit was housed in a 53-foot Featherlite spread-axle trailer that the race team operated on one side, while an on-site Hyundai activity area functioned on the other.[38]
A TV commercial titled 'Cheetah', featuring a caged cheetah set to race a new 201 horsepower Veloster Turbo on a long stretch of open road, was premiered during the first quarter of 2012 Super Bowl.[39]
In January 2012, Turn 10 Studios announced on the official Forza Motorsport 4 website that the 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo as well as Rhys Millen's Veloster Rally Car are available as a free downloadable content for the game.[40]
In Brazil the car has been the subject of controversy as Hyundai advertised the GDi injection but only brought the MPI DUAL injection to market. Consumers who pre-ordered the car were forced to accept the non-GDi vehicle without any compensation or cancel the transaction forfeiting the 10% reservation deposit. Despite the fact that the engine is the same 128 hp (95 kW; 130 PS) as the Veloster sold in Chile, the vehicle's license specifies the car as having 138 hp (103 kW; 140 PS). Other advertised options were also not included in the vehicles sold in Brazil. This has led the Brazilian Public Ministry to start investigating Hyundai for fraudulent behavior.[41] [42]
As part of Hyundai Veloster Zombie Survival Machine premiere, Hyundai also developed a unique configurator app, the WalkingDeadChopShop.com, that allows fans to design a custom zombie survival machine, using the Hyundai Veloster Turbo, Santa Fe or Elantra. The submitted designs would be entered into a contest and the winning design would be constructed and unveiled in October at the New York Comic Con.[24]

Hyundai revealed the second-generation Veloster at the 2018 North American International Auto Show.[45] It features a brand new design from the previous generation, still retaining the asymmetrical 2+1 door configuration. It also gets new safety equipment as standard on all trims, with forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a driver-attention monitor. All second-generation Velosters will now get multi-link suspension as standard (previously the non-turbo models from 1st-generation had a coupled torsion rear axle), and Torque Vectoring Control.[46]
The Veloster lineup in the US originally included the base Veloster, the Veloster 2.0 Premium, the Veloster Turbo R-Spec, Veloster Turbo and the Veloster Turbo Ultimate.[47]
The base Veloster and Veloster Premium use a new naturally-aspirated 2.0 L I4 engine that produces 147 hp (110 kW; 149 PS) and 132 lb⋅ft (179 N⋅m) of torque, more powerful than the outgoing naturally-aspirated 1.6 L engine.[48]
Veloster N [edit]
Released in 2019, the Veloster N was the first N model sold in North America. It is paired to a 6-speed manual transmission, with a newly announced 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission announced in 2020.[49] Both transmission models are paired with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine making up to 275 horsepower.
In April 2020, the Veloster N received a new 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which is claimed to enable the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds.[50]

Discontinuation [edit]
In August 2020, Hyundai dropped all Veloster models except the Veloster N in Canada for unspecified reasons.[53] In July 2021, citing slow sales, Hyundai similarly announced the discontinuation of all Veloster models in the United States for 2022 except for the high performance N variant. Hyundai will focus on its more popular offerings like the Kona instead.[54] [55]

Public Image [edit]
In the United States Hyundai Velosters are starting to become noticed as being often aggressively driven on public roads. Insurify, a car insurance comparison website, determined from its database of 1.6 million insurance applications in 2019 that 14.48% of first-generation Veloster owners were responsible for speeding violations. This was the 10th highest at the time.[57] This number rose to 15.43% on the basis of 2.5 million insurance requests in 2021 for the second-generation model thus now being at 6th place for most speeding violations of any car in its database.[58] [59] Using the same database it also ranked it the 8th highest for rude behavior on the basis of driving violations overall.[60] [61]
