4 Reasons to Test Drive the 2021 Veloster

If you’d like a car that’s as individual as you are, take a look at the 2021 Hyundai Veloster. Its quirky styling blends the versatility of a small hatchback with the fun driving characteristics of a performance coupe. Choose from the 2.0, 2.0 Premium, Turbo R-Spec, Turbo, and Turbo Ultimate trim levels, or for serious thrills, check out the Veloster N. Here are four reasons to take the Veloster for a test drive. 

1. Unique Styling

The 2021 Hyundai Veloster features a unique layout with a single door on the driver’s side and two on the passenger side. The unusual yet practical design gives easier access to the rear seats than a conventional sports coupe.

Standard exterior features include signature daytime running lights, automatic headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, body-color heated power mirrors, a rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler. Go with the 2.0 Premium for 18-inch wheels and a sunroof.

The Turbo R-Spec adds LED projector headlights and LED taillights, while the Turbo Ultimate gets a black two-tone roof. The Veloster N has exclusive styling details, gloss black mirrors and spoiler, and 19-inch wheels.

2. Engine Options

Starting the Veloster’s engine lineup is a smooth and responsive 2.0-liter four-cylinder power plant delivering 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Turbo models feature a lively turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The Turbo R-Spec has a six-speed manual transmission, while the Turbo and Turbo Ultimate get a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Under the Veloster N’s hood is a thrilling turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that cranks out 275 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. It’s mated to a six-speed manual transmission or an optional eight-speed dual-clutch automatic.

3. Exciting and Fun Performance

Whether you’re zipping around the city streets or cruising on the freeway, the Veloster is fun to drive. The Turbo R-Spec ups the excitement with performance tires, sport-tuned suspension, and a performance shift lever.

For the ultimate in driving thrills, opting for the Veloster N gets you sport-tuned steering, an electronic limited-slip front differential, adaptive suspension dampers, upgraded performance tires, an active exhaust, and more powerful brakes.

4. Stylish Interior

Inside the sporty driver-focused cabin, you have plenty of room for five people, along with 19.9 cubic feet of luggage space. Folding down the 60/40 split-folding rear seats gives you a cargo volume of 44.5 cubic feet. Each trim level has model-specific styling cues.

The 2.0 offers cloth seating, air conditioning, and a tilting and telescoping steering column. The multimedia system includes a 7-inch touch screen, Bluetooth, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The 2.0 Premium adds push-button start, leather-trimmed heated front seats, automatic climate control, a leather-bound steering wheel and shift knob, an 8-inch touch screen, voice recognition, and a wireless charging pad. Stepping up to the Turbo Ultimate gets you smart cruise control, leather upholstery, a head-up display, and navigation. The Veloster N features N Light sport bucket seats with illuminated logos.
