Why it stands out

The 2017 Hyundai Veloster stands out because it blends hatchback practicality with a distinctly unconventional three-door layout. Instead of four passenger doors, it has three, with two on the “safe” side so passengers can exit next to the curb. That design gives it a memorable look, and the car’s hatchback body adds generous cargo space. It also offers a sporty character that helped make it appealing to buyers who wanted something fun without giving up everyday usefulness.

For 2017, the Veloster’s appeal also came from its value and equipment. The first-generation model had a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine rated at 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque, EPA-rated highway fuel economy of 37 mpg, and a standard six-speed automatic manual transmission, with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters available. It also included features such as a seven-inch infotainment touchscreen, cruise control, power windows, a six-speaker audio system, USB and auxiliary audio ports, and Hyundai’s Blue Link telematics system. Package options could add items like a panoramic sunroof, leather seats, navigation, a rearview camera, automatic headlights, keyless entry, and push-button start.

There are a few tradeoffs to keep in mind. The Veloster’s three-door design is polarizing, and it only seats four. Even so, for shoppers who want a compact used car with personality, useful cargo room, and a long list of features for the money, the 2017 Hyundai Veloster remains a distinctive choice.
