2023 Hyundai Veloster

The 2023 Hyundai Veloster is a hatchback coupe first produced by Hyundai. The 2023 Hyundai Veloster is an interesting three-door hatchback that’s inexpensive to own and fun to drive. Thrill-seekers will opt for the rowdy Veloster N, while the regular version offers an optional 201-hp engine and admirable performance. The 2023 Veloster cabin lacks the quality of rivals like the Mazda 3 and Volkswagen Golf, but at least Hyundai is packed with desirable standard features.

2023 Hyundai Veloster Interior

The 2023 Veloster R-Spec is the only version to wear wider and stickier performance tires that provide maximum braking and cornering grip. Other than a handful of accessories, this particular model offers no other options. The 2023 Veloster N is fun to drive, affordable, and comes with one of the best warranties in the industry. Earlier Veloster N models sacrificed nearly all of the Veloster’s existing driver aids, as well as some everyday comfort and technology, but Hyundai has added many of these features to this latest model. The 2023 Hyundai N is a seriously interesting small performance car and one of the best in its class.

Inside, the materials used are of good quality, and the 2023 Veloster’s cabin is four-seater and has solid craftsmanship. The cabin’s aesthetic is pleasant enough, but there are other options in this class that offer a more luxurious interior. Unlike a standard two-door hatchback, the Hyundai Veloster is built with one long door on the driver’s side and two short doors on the passenger side. The addition of a third passenger-side door makes it easier for rear-seat occupants to enter and exit the vehicle.

2023 Hyundai Veloster : Engine

The Veloster base with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. All Hyundai 2023 Veloster trims with turbo descriptors are motivated by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels on all models, and transmission options include a six-speed manual, six-speed automatic, and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). One Veloster Turbo Ultimate DCT we tested accelerated to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, which is pretty fast for this segment. One Civic hatchback we tested took about a second longer to complete this run.

Fuel economy for base engine-equipped Veloster hatchbacks peaks at 27/34 mpg city/highway, according to EPA estimates. With the optional turbocharged engine, gas mileage peaks at 28/34 mpg. These are respectable numbers, but some competing compact cars offer much better fuel efficiency. For example, the Kia Forte goes up to 29/40 mpg, and the Honda Civic hatchback hits 31/40 mpg.
