We’ve heard rumors, we’ve seen pictures, and we have even been able to see it up close. The 2012 Hyundai Veloster has been on our minds here at Breeden Hyundai since it was unveiled at the Detroit International Auto Show in January. Sadly we have to wait until this summer for its release to the general public. In the meantime, here are a few specs and highlights for this great looking hatchback that will dominate the competition.
Design
Dynamically inspired by the speed and power of motorcycles, the 2012 Veloster has a fluidic design similar to that of other Hyundai vehicles. Engineers were focused on this vehicle being affordable and practical while making it cooler than other cars in its class. Included in this new design is the functionality of a hatchback, but with a twist. The passenger side has an additional door for easier access to the rear seating. In the past, other vehicles have used a smaller rear-hinged door in order for occupants to reach the rear seating. Issues occurred with the use of rear-hinged doors due to the fact that the front door must be opened first. They proved to be tiresome for the driver and passenger, as well as difficult to operate in a tight parking condition. The brilliant new design not only provides safe access to the rear seating, but also maintains the coupe design by hiding the rear door handle.
