The Car Guide rating 72%(view ratings)
This new model has already got people talking! With a modern design and attractive price, it’s got promise! Currently, a 1.6L engine powers the Veloster’s front wheels, but a turbo is expected to become available soon. The only real choice buyers will have to make is whether or not they want to include the technology package, which includes a panoramic roof. Interestingly, only the vehicle’s right side has a rear passenger door!
