The soon-to-be-launched Hyundai Veloster has created a great deal of enthusiasm for car lovers in Australia, so it was with even greater enthusiasm that CarAdvice jumped behind the wheel of a Korean-spec Veloster to see what all the fuss was about.
Hyundai brought us to Namyang in Korea, the main (but one of many) research & development centre for Hyundai Motors. Here we got to test drive a BlueOn i10 based electric car, a Genesis V8 sedan, an i45 hybrid and two different Velosters.
The new Hyundai Veloster is expected to launch in Australia late this year and based on what we know so far, it will be offered with only one engine variant (1.6-litre petrol) mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
