Hyundai Veloster

The Veloster hatchback has an unusual three-door configuration, with a right-side rear door that allows easier access to the back seat. The unexciting base 2.0-liter and sporty 1.6-liter turbo engines are dropped. Only the track-ready high-performance N trim, with a 2.0-liter turbo engine and upgraded suspension, steering, and brakes, is available. The discontinued R-Spec trim, with the 1.6-liter turbo engine that we tested with the slick six-speed manual transmission, was nimble and exhibited tenacious grip in sharp turns. The ride is very stiff, and the cabin is loud. The controls are easy to use, including the color touch-screen infotainment display. FCW and AEB are standard. 2022 is the final year for the Veloster.
