Otherworldly beauty for some, hideous ugliness for others, no one sits on the fence when it comes to the Hyundai Veloster. The third door, located on the right side, opens the opposite way, which never ceases to impress people. The basic version has a 138-hp 1.6L four-cylinder. The turbocharged version of the same engine develops 201 horsepower, giving the version justifiably known as Turbo a little more pep.
