Hyundai Veloster Overview
Hyundai Philippines' Veloster is a compact sports car that combines the coupe styling with the functionality of a hatchback. It features the brand's latest signature hexagonal grille, while the rear has center-placed dual exhaust pipes. The car features an asymmetrical door layout, which means that the driver's side only has one door, while there are two on the other side. The handle of the rear door is placed on the c-pillar to create a two-door coupe look. Inside the 2019 Hyundai Veloster is a four-seater cabin with leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and panoramic sunroof, perfect for the weather in the Philippines. A 7-inch screen takes care of infotainment and has connectivity functions like Aux, Bluetooth, and USB. There's also an audio control on the steering wheel, so the driver won't have to take the eyes off the road. Under the hood is a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that churns out 204 hp with 265 Nm of torque. This power mill comes with 7-speed dual clutch H-Matic transmission. Other features include hill-start assist, rear parking assist, speed sensing door lock, and keyless entry.
- Launch
-
Now in its second generation, the current Hyundai Veloster was revealed in the 2018 North American International Autoshow. The model was made available for order in August 2018.
- Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
-
The unibody chassis of the Hyundai Veloster features a MacPherson front strut and a multilink rear, which means that this hatchback has fully independent suspension on all four wheels, the size of which come in at 18 inches. The car stands on a ground clearance figure of 151 mm, and it has disc brakes in both the front and back wheels.
Powering the Veloster is a 1.6-liter T-GDI (Turbocharged-Gasoline Direct Injection) engine that produces 201 hp and 264 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and features paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
- Driving Performance
-
With its rather peppy turbocharged motor, the Hyundai Veloster has four drive modes to choose from that vary the behavior of the car depending on the selected mode. In its most responsive mode, the turbo motor is spirited, engaging and ready for action at the stab of the throttle. Steering is tighter and sharp, allowing the car to turn effectively with marginally more feel than in more sedate modes.
- Technology Features
-
The infotainment system in the Veloster is an 8-inch touch screen that is set higher on the dashboard for optimal viewing. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard and allow for seamless audio playback and app integration. A rear parking camera outputs to the center display, and automatic headlights, and wipers add to the convenience features for the Veloster. Seat adjustment for the driver is made effortless with the addition of a motorized driver's seat.
- Exterior
-
The exterior of the Hyundai Veloster features a wide grille upfront with angular LED headlamps with DRLs. For a hatchback, the Veloster is quite unconventional as it has an asymmetric 4-door layout, with 1 on the driver's side, 2 on the passenger's side, and a rear hatch. The shape is similar to previous-generation Velosters, but the styling has been honed down to what it is now, a rather attractive hatchback that still retains its many quirks.
- Interior
-
The interior of the Hyundai Veloster greets you with a D-shaped steering wheel, red accents, and a focused design for the cabin. The familiar Hyundai design langauage is still present, but the styling is definitely younger and more lively than sedate. The climate control features a fully-automatic system, and right above it is Hyundai's 8-inch infotainment system that is nestled up and to the center for easy viewing by the driver and passenger. The red accents touch everything in the interior, fron the dashboard to even the leather-clad seats with the use of bright inserts.
- Safety
-
In terms of safety, the Veloster features a good standard of features such as 6 airbags, which include dual front, side and curtain units. Other features include ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution, driver and front passenger seatbelt reminders, ISOFIX tethers, a rear parking assist system, and an immobilizer that comes with the smart key push-start system.
Pros & Cons
- Spirited yet controlled performance.
- Overall exterior and interior design piques interests.
- Relatively frugal fuel consumption.
- Claustrophobic rear cabin.
- Trunk is shallow.
- DCT has been refined but still has room for improvement.
