In 2011, at the Detroit air show, the Korean Hyundai Motor concern presented an original novelty: the compact three-door sports coupe Hyundai Veloster, combining hatchback functionality.
One look at this model is enough to feel its character: bright, bold and dynamic in every detail. It’s immediately clear that this hybrid is designed for drivers who truly love and value life. This year, Veloster received the title of one of the “coolest” cars in the Middle East in the category worth up to US $ 18 thousand.
Tom Lee, the head of Hyundai’s Middle East headquarters, commenting on the new product’s release, said: “We decided to make a unique car, characterized by individuality and charisma, streamlined and with 2 + 1 doors, the first of its kind. Of course, the car itself, and his driver will always stand out from the crowd. " It is worth noting that the model has a unique body structure, the main feature of which is the presence of one wide door on the driver's side and two on the passenger side. It is built on the Hyundai i30 platform, which allowed it to maintain compact dimensions: 4.2 m in length and 1.7 m in width. The wheelbase is 2.64 m. As a power unit, the only new-generation 1.6-liter Gamma four-cylinder gasoline engine is offered.
To ensure maximum fuel economy and reduce harmful emissions, it is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to its fun “coloring” and modern equipment, which includes a start button, cruise control system, automatic air conditioning and a multimedia system with a seven-inch touch screen and the ability to connect an iPod, this car is ideal for nightlife lovers in a big city.
