Three-Door 2019 Hyundai Veloster Starts At $19,385
It’s the only car right now with three doors—one door on the driver’s side and two doors on the other side. The weird and yet familiar design of the Hyundai Veloster skipped the 2018 model year, but would be back this 2019 with a few upgrades.
Base Veloster
The base Veloster will be coming with a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-four that can produce 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission and featuring a direct injection, it will be more powerful than the previous 1.6-liter four. Standard safety equipment are forward-collision warning with automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a driver-attention monitor.
Other tech goods include LED running lamps and a rear spoiler. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, a six-speaker stereo, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a six-way manual driver’s seat, and a real metal key.
2.0 Premium
With the same engine but with six-speed automatic and paddle shifters, the 2.0 Premium has a price tag of $23,635. That price will also get you 18-inch wheels on 225-width tires, blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, a panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, heated front seats with leatherette inserts, keyless entry with push-button start, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with SiriusXM satellite radio (which is no longer standard on base Velosters), an eight-speaker Infinity stereo, and wireless device charging. You can also enjoy three years of Blue Link telematics services.
Turbo R-Spec
For $23,785, the Veloster will come with a turbocharged 1.6-liter that produces 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The six-speed manual is standard and upgrades will include thicker front and rear anti-roll bars, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer tires, LED taillights, LED low-beams with automatic high-beams, a black grille, adjustable rather than fixed rear headrests, specific cloth trim, and Active Engine Sound. The Turbo R-spec will not carry the 2.0 Premium’s blind-spot warning, panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, and heated front seats.
The Turbo R-spec, however, can get the 2.0 Premium’s features plus the side-mirror turn signals and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic for $2,500 more.
Turbo Ultimate
The loaded Turbo Ultimate will be sold $27,535 for the manual and $29,035 for the automatic. Standard equipment would be the rain-sensing wipers, pedestrian detection, leather with contrast stitching, a dashtop head-up display, navigation, and HD radio. The automatic version will come with adaptive cruise control and the manual will have the summer Michelins.
Hyundai Reveals “Hottest Ever Hatch” To The Market Through The Veloster N
Aren’t we all excited what Hyundai has in store for us when it introduced the new N performance sub-brand? Well, here it is in the form of the 2019 Veloster N. It’s not only truly capable on the road, but it looks so good too.
Hyundai has high aspirations when it comes to producing the “hottest hatch ever,” and it horsepower, thanks to its turbocharged inline-4 engine and sportier chassis, it also has a more aggressive look. Overall, the new hatchback from the South Korean automaker falls somewhere between sport compacts such as Volkswagen Golf GTI and Honda Civic Si and the more powerful Golf R and Civic Type R.
If you are familiar with the Europe-only market i30 N, the Veloster N almost looks similar to that. It is, in fact, available in the same Performance Blue paint with red trims on the front fascia and side skirts. The colors black, red, and white are also available. There’s an N badge on the grille, making sure everyone knows you’re not driving just any Hyundai out there.
The power is coming from a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that can produce up to 275 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, almost the same figures with the i30 N. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission while an electronically controlled limited-slip differential is optional equipment.
Enthusiasts will also be welcoming a slew of new performance features such as adaptive dampers, launch-control capability, automatic rev matching, and a variable exhaust. There are five driving modes, including an “N” that is meant for the race track.
Like the idea of large wheels? You can choose between an 18-inch base wheel wrapped in 225-series Michelin Pilot Super Sport performance tires and an optional 19-inch wheel has wider, 235-series Pirelli P Zero rubber.
There are no pricing details yet, but we’ll expect the Veloster N to play in the range of $25,000 to $30,000.

65 Photos and 3 Quick Facts About The 2017 Hyundai Veloster Value Edition
If the price tag of the regular Veloster is too much for you, then it’s time to check out this new Hyundai Veloster Value Edition. The South Korean automaker decided to release a value-packed edition for the popular Veloster, allowing the vehicle to become the choice for an everyday car.
Many of the options in the regular Veloster are now standard with the value edition, according to a report. This one has a starting price of $21,350, so you’re looking at a savings of $950 compared if you add all the options individually. The starting price for the regular Veloster without the add-ons is $18,100.
Extras That Are Now Standard
The options for the regular Veloster that are now standard to the value edition package are the six-speed dual-clutch transmission, 18-inch alloy wheels, proximity key with push button start, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium sound system with eight speakers and a subwoofer.
Powertrain Is Same As Regular Veloster’s
The Value Edition will come packing the same engine fitted in the regular Veloster. That’s a 1.6-liter inline-4 that can produce 132 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque. Those who want the extra power needs to upgrade to the Veloster Turbo, which has a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 that produces 201 horsies and 195 lb-ft of torque.
The Veloster Turbo is also fitted with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission instead of the standard six-speed manual.
Next-Generation Veloster Is Being Tested
Hyundai is already testing a next-generation Veloster, which will be redesigned to better compete with its counterparts in the market. The next-gen Veloster will be bigger in dimensions. It may even walk away from the three-door layout of the current Veloster and make it a two-door the way a proper coupe should look like.
The debut of the next-gen Veloster should be sometime in 2018.
