Reviews SummaryConsider Hyundai and its growth in popularity over the last decade. The brand built its relevance with practical, sensible vehicles, like the Sonata, and SUVs like the Santa Fe and Tucson. But “fortune favors the bold,” or so the saying goes. There is something to be said for taking an unlikely risk. In the 2011 model year, Hyundai released the Veloster, going in a completely different direction than the rest of its typically safe product lineup. Hyundai already had a hatchback, the Accent (and later the Elantra GT). But the Veloster was something completely different. It featured a unique hatchback-meets-coupe shape and an even more unique 3-door layout. The result was a sporty daily driver that’s both fun and functional, and it has been completely redesigned for the 2019 model year. | |
Reviews SummaryHyundai has discontinued most of the Veloster lineup, choosing to instead focus on expanding its roster of (more profitable) crossover SUVs, so the top-spec Veloster N goes it alone for the 2022 model year. But with sport compact car sales flagging and Hyundai making no changes to the Veloster N, one must wonder if the 2022 model year represents the hot hatch's curtain call. | |
