What’s New for the 2019 Hyundai Veloster?

After a brief hiatus during the 2018 model year where Hyundai carried over the 2017 model, the 2019 Hyundai Veloster is fully redesigned, with a full spread of subtle changes to update the styling, add a new base engine, a more powerful turbo engine, and better technology.

The 2019 Hyundai Veloster continues the model’s tradition of subverting the usual two-door coupe body style by offering one door on the driver’s side and two on the passenger’s side. Hyundai’s sporty hatchback has a new exterior look, but continues to be offered in an array of interesting colors, including Ultra Black, Chalk White, Sonic Silver, Thunder Gray, Space Gray, and our personal favorites, Sunset Orage and Racing Red.
