5 reasons to buy the 2020 Hyundai Veloster
1. Distinctive styling
If you're the type of driver who likes to stand out, you'll appreciate the 2020 Hyundai Veloster's three-door styling. The Veloster has one door on the driver's side and two doors on the passenger side. The asymmetrical look is a real conversation starter, but it's also practical, giving you sleek styling and easy access to the rear seats.
2. Turbocharged fun
The 2020 Hyundai Veloster offers two turbocharged four-cylinder engine options: a 201-hp 1.6L or a 250- to 275-hp 2.0L. Both are powerful and fun to drive. Stick to the standard manual transmission for a hands-on driving experience or opt for the available seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Veloster N trim has a sport-tuned suspension, while the available Performance package has a limited-slip differential for top-notch performance.
3. Plenty of cargo space
The Veloster isn't just fun, it's practical too. With 19.9 cu-ft of cargo space behind the second row, the 2020 Hyundai Veloster can hold your golf clubs, guitar, or luggage with no hiccups. The hatchback design and three-door body make loading and unloading the Veloster easy, so you can move from one event to the next without taking time to rearrange your cargo hold.
4. Standard connectivity
Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® connectivity are standard on the 2020 Hyundai Veloster and a seven-inch touchscreen makes it easy to navigate your phone functions. If you're someone who never remembers your charger, opt for the available wireless charging pad to ensure you never run out of phone battery on the road.
5. Driver support
The 2020 Hyundai Veloster comes standard with all the driver-assistance features you might expect from a modern car, including emergency braking, lane keep assist, and forward collision warning. But you'll also get unexpected features like driver drowsiness monitoring on every 2020 Veloster. Higher trims mean more available driver aids, like a head-up display, blind spot monitoring, and rear-cross traffic alert.
