Spy photographers recently caught the 2019 Hyundai
Veloster undisguised but that hasn't stopped the company from releasing a new
teaser video for the redesigned hatchback.
In the Christmas-themed clip, we can see the all-new
Veloster will have an evolutionary design with a rakish windscreen, muscular
wheel arches, and a long sloping roof which meets a tailgate-mounted spoiler.
The undisguised photos also revealed the model will have a more prominent
grille, a center-mounted dual exhaust system, and a sporty rear diffuser.
Hyundai has been relatively tight-lipped about the
model but the company has already confirmed the Veloster will be unveiled at
the North American International Auto Show and offered with two turbocharged
engines that have displacements of 1.4- and 1.6-liters. A six-speed manual
transmission will be offered with the latter engine while both can be equipped
with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Hyundai also has plans for a high-performance
Veloster N and it should have at least 246 hp.
In South Korea, the model will be offered with an
assortment of high-tech features including a heads-up display, adaptive cruise
control, and a collision warning system. The car will also offer high beam
assist and a lane departure warning system.
