A Peculiar Coupe From Hyundai, The Veloster?
Thursday, January 27th, 2011
The Detroit Auto Show has news from small upgrades, to new concepts, to new mass produced vehicles. Hyundai has made news with the newly introduced coupe. The sales consultants at Richmond Hyundai Dealers know that these will be a success among the younger generation drivers. Hyundai Veloster is their new coupe even though they do have the Genesis. Hyundai was noted for saying “Why can we not have two”, (coupes that is). One of thehe differences between the Genesis and the Veloster is, the Genesis is rear wheel drive and the Veloster is front wheel drive. The Hyundai Veloster has a unique, off the wall design. It might be intended but it looks like it is off center. On the passenger side is the regular door plus another one that opens up to the backseat, which is conveniently roomy. The Veloster is a compact, five seater with a hatchback.
Now, Hyundai has made several options standard on the Veloster. This is what sets it apart from their competition is what Manchester Hyundai Dealership has said. It will come with a seven inch touch screen even if you do not opt for the Navigation. The Pandora 
Internet Radio fed through a connection with the driver’s smartphone. Don’t worry, it will still have storage for your pictures,videos and music. The other options Veloster has for the consumers is the 115 volt outlet, that any one gaming console can be played but only while it is in park. Hyundai considers this a safety feature. Blue Link will also be offered on the 2012 Veloster, which is a similar to the GM’s OnStar. Hyundai does plan on having three levels of service but prices are not available at this time.
Under the hood powering the Veloster is a 1.6 L four cylinder that produces the whopping 138 horsepower and 123 pounds feet of torque. Now, there have been rumors confirmed that a 210 horsepower turbo charged version of the same engine. The Veloster will have either the six speed manual or the six speed dual clutch automatic. Hyundai is estimating about forty miles per gallon on the highway. Now, if the this new concept, funky design is not your style, you can always shop at Nissan Dealership Tuscaloosa, they might have a simple design for your interest.
