Hyundai UK deliver a bumper load of photos and video of the new Veloster
A couple of months on from the release of model and price details for the Hyundai Veloster in the UK, Hyundai UK has been making the most of their new coupe by taking a shed load of photos and videos of their new sporty coupe. So we though the least we could do is let you take a look.
A huge album of 69 photos awaits of the Veloster Coupe, and we’ve stitched Hyundai’s four videos of the Veloster together in to one video so you can just press play and watch – we don’t want you over-taxing yourself at Christmas. And we have to say, the more we see of the Veloster Coupe, the more we like it.
To start with the Veloster is coming with Hobson’s choice on the engine front, with all on offer a 1.6 litre petrol. It’s a decent enough lump with 138bhp, up to 47.9mpg and as little as 137g/km in ‘Blue’ guise, and a 0-62mph in 9.7 seconds. Not enough to get the pulse racing, but a promising enough sporty coupe.
The price is more than decent too for the Veloster, with the entry-level 1’6 GDi coming in at 17,995 and the top of the heap Veloster Sport 1.6 GDi DCT costing £21,745
But what is on the way is the Hyundai Veloster Turbo. That sounds an appealing prospect with Hyundai’s new 1.6 litre 204bhp twin-scroll turbo lump at some time in 2012. That should make for a very lively little coupe with better than decent performance and a real threat to the German performance brands.
But for now you’ll have to make do with the Veloster video, with the Veloster Turbo to follow in the New Year.

2** stars it has been awarded by What Car
Hyundai Veloster Coupe Read review**
FOR: The Veloster is cheaper than most of its rivals, and its distinctive looks will appeal to some people.
AGAINST: The ride is firm, the steering is remote and there isn’t much room in the back. Refinement is also POOR and you need to thrash the engine to make decent progress.
What a Disaster – 2 stars for the flagship coupe

Discount available already as the car is not selling due to the stupid door concept ..
Already my local Hyundai dealer has knocked off £1500 of list price.
What a crap car, a sports car with a under-performing engine, a 4 door car with a door missing.
A family car with no space for a family.
A price tag that can get you a BMW 1 series entry level .
This car will be an utter disaster for Hyundai
Overpriced under-performing and missing a door is not going to entice any sane Hyundai buyer.

I’ve driven three different Hyundais in the last month, and they’ve come a very long way since Halfords used to sell them!
In fact, I’ve probably enjoyed bombing around in the ix35 and i40 more than almost anything this year. I’m actually looking forward to the Veloster arriving for a week.
