Hyundai Veloster benefits in standard of a six-speed manual transmission gearbox and double clutch. Average consumption reaches the value of 5.8 litres/100 km.
Because of the unconventional right rear-door of the passengers, the car has a longer wheelbase than expected.
On the exterior, Veloster shows a quite attractive design with very discreet lines, but which gives a very elegant allure. It is targeted mainly young audience.
The interior shows also a quite nice look. One of the delights offered by Veloster is the Blue Link system.
