The story about the Hyundai Veloster is pretty short, thus far....
Spanning two generations, the Veloster was launched for the 2011 model year, filling the void left behind when Tiberon ended production just three years before. While the Tiberon was a sporty looking, conventional two door coupe (with a hatchback instead of a trunk ), the Veloster brought out their updated version of a Honda CRX, but as 2+1-door kammback coupe.
With one door on the driver's side and two for the passenger side, the Veloster does take a bit of time to get used this asymmetrical door configuration. Early reviews complained about a serious lack of power versus the car's looks, a 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine producing 138 horsepower and 123 lb⋅ft of torque through a six-speed manual transmission as standard, a six-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters as an option.
Hyundai listened and for 2012, a 1.6L T-GDi model was introduced, pushing out 201 horsepower and 195 lbf⋅ft of torque. The Veloster Turbo continues to this day.
For the 2019 model year, this second generation brought a new Veloster, the upscale Veloster 2.0 Premium, the returning Veloster Turbo, a Veloster Turbo R-Spec and the Veloster Turbo Ultimate to dealers. However, if a person wanted to get the "ultimate driving experience" form this Korean brand, then look no further than the Veloster N. Hiding under the hood lives a 2.0L T-GDi four-cylinder engine producing 275 horsepower and 260 lb⋅ft of torque, with a six-speed manual transmission.
Real world testing has shown this Hyundai Hotrod can do 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and a standing quarter-mile in 14.2 seconds at 100 mph....
