The Hyundai Veloster is one of the manufacture’s most popular models amongst their lineup. The Veloster is funky, sporty, and very fun to drive. It hugs the road and makes driving enjoyable. With its stylish and innovative packaging, the 2014 Hyundai Veloster is sure to charm its way into your heart.



The 2014 Hyundai Veloster looks and feels like a driver’s car. Its unique style icons and features are what really set the car apart from the competition. The Hyundai Veloster is available in the usual sporty trim, and also offers a Turbo version. The base trim level comes with a 1.6L GDI 4-cylinder engine that will give you 138-horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. The supercharged turbo engine gets the same fuel efficient power hub, the turboboost gets you 69 more horses, bumping it up to 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.

The more air you can force into an engine, the more power you can get out of it. The turbo engine compresses air and forces it into the engine to dramatically increase the Veloster Turbo’s power. The wide front grille was designed to allow maximum air flow into the inner core and reduce the compressed air temperature, making it even more combustible. The 2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo has the best power to weight ratio in its class. It’s no surprise why it’s so fun to drive.

Going on to the interior of the 2014 Veloster, the higher level trims receive a beautiful leather interior with soft-touch materials on the door and dashboard. The Veloster has such a unique design that it’s hard to find anything bad about it. The centre console is simple, intuitive, and beautifully laid out. The 7-inch touch screen acts as the control centre for the audio and navigation if you choose to add the navi into your package. The seats are extremely comfortable and hug your body to keep you grounded when taking the Veloster out for a wild ride.

The sport-tuned suspension and quicker steering ratio give you better control and that feel you’re looking for when you’re accelerating around corners and sharp turns. The car really encourages you to attack winding roads and sharp turns and begs to be taken out for a joy ride. If you’re looking for the perfect balance of fun and value, the 2014 Hyundai Veloster has it all. Traditionalists will go crazy over the 6-speed manual transmission which has amazing handling. The 6-speed automatic shiftronic transmission with paddle shifters allow for complete control over the car without having to take your hands off the wheel.

The exterior of the car really looks the part. The chrome detailing, stylish cuts, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED highlights, and available panoramic sunroof are key details that add a whole new meaning to the term “luxury” in the hatchback. For a great car that’s fun to drive, look no further than the 2014 Hyundai Veloster.

Power and Performance:

The Veloster builds on the powertrain of the Hyundai Accent, but it strikes out in its own direction—with an available dual-clutch gearbox in the base model, a perky Turbo model, and a new stripped-down, enthusiast-oriented Turbo R-Spec model.

At the base level, the Veloster's 138-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine has been cribbed from the Veloster. On that model, it's teamed with a six-speed manual or a dual-clutch automatic, and they're both good enough for us to say that you should leave it to personal preference. It's a little short on torque off the line, but its EPA highway fuel economy of 6.36L/100km highway is excellent, and we saw more than 7.8L/100km in an extended test.

Go for the Veloster Turbo and it's a different story entirely; it packs a twin-scroll turbocharger for 201 hp in all, a 195-lb-ft blast of torque on tap at low engine speeds, and a choice between six-speed manual and paddle-shifted automatic transmissions. good for 0-60 mph times of about 7.0 seconds or less, with just a slight crimp in gas-mileage numbers.

To fit the Turbo's greater power, these models get stronger brakes and stickier tires—which helps improve the Veloster's handling in general. We're not wild about the electric power steering; it's low on feedback, and weighty when it doesn't need to be, but it doesn't disrupt the Veloster's generally flat, crisp cornering, which gets unsettled only if it's pitched over bad sections of pavement. Brake feel is excellent, though, with confident four-wheel discs with slightly larger front rotors on turbo models.

The 2014 Hyundai Veloster skirts the boundary between sporty, rakish hatchback and urban runabout, and provided you see it as that, it's one of the most fuel-efficient models you could get that packs in so much excitement.

The non-turbo Veloster is primed for good gas mileage, with either shift mode. It's rated at 8.7/6.36 L/100km for the manual, or 8.7/6.72 L/100km with the dual-clutch automatic.

Veloster Turbo models are less efficient, but manuals aren't as far off the mark as versions with a six-speed automatic. They're now rated by the EPA at 9.8/6.72 L/100km with the manual shifter, and drop to 9.8/7.59 L/100km with the automatic. Because of the Turbo's high torque, Hyundai doesn't offer its efficient dual-clutch automatic on the more powerful Veloster.

We saw around 7.8 L/100km over a six-month period with a base Veloster.

Interiors and Special Features:

Techy but tasteful are the operative words here. At front and center in the cabin is a standard 7-inch touch screen that acts as the command center for all things audio or, if so optioned, the easy-to-read navigation system. The front seats offer good comfort and support for this class, but taller passengers will likely find the two back seats cramped. With 15.5 feet of space, the rear cargo area can easily swallow luggage, and the back seats fold to accommodate larger items. Turbo versions receive unique accents and leather seating, with the driver's seat featuring lumbar support.

2014 Veloster models are well-equipped, with a 7-inch multimedia touch screen, rearview monitor, cabin air filter, 6-way driver seat with height adjustment and Internet radio-ready AM/FM/satellite/CD system with 196 watts and six speakers. Hyundai's Blue Link telematics system offers access service and infotainment features, and can alert an owner if whoever is driving goes beyond a certain speed or designated perimeter. A 6-month trial is included, with a subscription offered thereafter.

Major options for the 2014 Veloster are bundled into two packages: Style and Tech, each costing around $2,000. And, it must be noted, to get the Tech Package you also must purchase the Style option. The Style Package adds a panoramic sunroof, 450-watt 8-speaker audio system and leatherette surfaces. The Tech Package includes a navigation system, proximity key and push-button start, backup warning sensors, automatic headlights and a convenient 115-volt outlet to power electronics. The well-equipped Veloster Turbo models are offered with just one available option group, the $2,500 Ultimate Package, which adds automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, navigation and other features.

Safety features:

Even though it's a relatively low-volume model, the 2014 Hyundai Veloster has been tested by the federal government, and earned quite respectable scores; with a body structure mostly borrowed from the Hyundai Elantra and a good set of safety features, we're quite confident in its occupant protection.

In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) testing, the 2014 Veloster earned five stars overall, with four stars for frontal impact and five stars for side impact. It hasn't been rated by the insurance-funded IIHS.

Whether you go for the 2014 Veloster or Veloster Turbo, you'll get a long list of safety features, including electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes with Brake Assist, and six standard airbags. Non-turbo DCT models get Hillstart Assist Control, to help keep the vehicle from rolling backward on standing starts up steep inclines. And for 2014, a rearview camera system and a driver's blind-spot mirror are now included on all models.

Hyundai's Blue Link telematics platform is also included. BlueLink includes a suite of safety services like Automatic Crash Notification (ACN) and Assistance and SOS Emergency Assistance.

Backup warning sensors and a rearview camera system are available on the base version and standard on the Turbo; they're a big help, since the low-slung Veloster has huge blind spots to its rear three-quarters, a consequence of its wacky, innovative door treatments.
