The Veloster is one of the many new exciting offerings Thailand will see from Hyundai this year following the recently announced strategy of Hyundai Everywhere, which aims at effectively expanding the Hyundai population in the Kingdom, while reaching out further from the current target markets.
The word Veloster comes from Velocity and Roadster: Speed & fun-to-drive sports vehicle. The 2 + 1 door design & configuration is an innovative realization of Hyundai’s famous tagline of “New Thinking. New Possibilities” — a production result of the HND-3 concept car debuted in Seoul Motor Show 2007. This world’s first vehicle of its kind offers both dynamic beauty of a sport hatchback and riding comfort of a sedan both front and rear thanks to the extra rear door on the left.
All-New Veloster is a compact sport hatchback with dimension of 4,220 mm (L) x 1,790 mm (W) (1,805 mm for Veloster Sport Turbo) x 1,399 mm (H) — just superb for mobility and comfort. The front and rear leg rooms of both models of Veloster are 1,072 mm and 870 mm respectively. Head rooms for both front and rear are 945 mm and 896 mm. Shoulder rooms for front and rear are 1,412 mm and 1,371 mm respectively. Luggage compartment volume is 320 liters. The folded rear seats can simply extend the luggage area to fit more items without any worries. As we can see here, the figures show greater comfort and practically over other sports car in the same class.
The superbike-inspired and Korean-made Veloster projects the sense of ‘Extreme Motion’ and the look of young & energetic personality, which does not exclusively target the GEN Y consumers but also premium car buyers, who understand the meaning of ‘UNIQUE INNOVATION’ and how to express their strong characteristics through pleasurable and innovative driving experience.
The All-New Veloster and Veloster Sport Turbo are just perfect for both male and female users. Beautiful sporty premium exterior designs and cozy futuristic interior set this latest product from Hyundai apart from other cars on the roads.
