ONE CAR. TWO SIDES.... The All New Hyundai Veloster

Evans Halshaw Hyundai would like to introduce you to the Hyundai Veloster; one car, two sides. A totally original, authentic coupe and spacious hatchback in one.

A car with 1 door on 1 side and 2 on the other you say? Yes! We thought it sounded a bit strange when we first saw the concept of this innovative car last year, but surprisingly it works and looks fantastic. According to Hyundai, the Veloster is styled with a sense of movement and balance.

It’s individual and bold even down to the choice of eight vibrant colours, including Veloster Red, Vitamin C Orange and Green Apple amongst others. Whatever colour you choose though, just driving one of these unique cars is sure to turn heads and create a stir.Hyundai say that the Veloster is a cross between an athletic coupe and passenger-friendly hatchback, so why not combine the Veloster?

With a third door on the passenger’s side, the 1 + 2 configuration means your friends can jump in the back without having to climb over the front seats. There are 60:40 split folding seats for more flexibility, and a low ground clearance ensures there’s loads of head, shoulder and leg room for everyone to enjoy the Veloster experience. It comes with lots of gadgets as well including a 7 inch LCD TFT display featuring touch screen with controls for Bluetooth connectivity and voice recognition. It also offers USB, iPod and auxiliary inputs all of which can be controlled via the controls on the steering wheel.
