Attractive crossover that stands out among a thousand, the new Hyundai Veloster debut on the Italian market in its final configuration - after the European premiere in Geneva last March. Quest'originalissimo coupe 3 +1 ports brings a breath of fresh air on the national car market, it is characterized by asymmetry of the distribution ports (two front and one rear), a solution that provides great versatility and well- Full aggressive and racy style of the car. Practice, even in the guide, Veloster is always handy, bright and busy for nothing, thanks to the 1.6-GDI gasoline direct-injection 140 horsepower. The two different faces of Veloster are the real key to understanding this innovative "3 +1 ports" split personality, dynamic on one side and the other practical and functional. In fact, the single rear door located on the passenger side ( ... or the sidewalk), you can get on board safely in all conditions and take advantage of the high interior space.
The length of 4,220 mm to 1,790 mm wide and the wide wheelbase of 2,650 mm are indeed values that allow the Veloster to represent the new benchmark for the category in terms of roominess. Hyundai Motor Company Italy offers this original crossovers on the market in two versions: Comfort and Sport, both rich in the stands and which differ in the position to reach a potential customer "cross" in order to continue developing the positive brand perception Hyundai in Italy and Europe. This is a process has been consolidated in 2011 thanks to the success smiled on products like the C-SUV ix35 and ix20 compact SUV (both stably present in the "Top 5" in its segment reference).
"With a winning mix of design, practicality and Hi-Tech, Veloster underlines perfectly what we intended to communicate with our new brand positioning" New Thinking. New Possibilities. " explains Fabrizio Longo, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor Company Italy. "Explicit Hyundai's growth in the recent past and the area where we intend to position ourselves in the future - both in terms of product and brand"
The Veloster has a reasonable purchase price and management - thanks to the exclusive warranty "Triple 5" with unlimited mileage (5 year warranty, roadside assistance and free check), a "package" that only Hyundai is able to offer on the market. Moreover, the company believes so much in the superior quality of its cars to allow, if unsatisfied, return within one month from the purchase of their cars and be reimbursed at 100%, thanks to the revolutionary process "Commitment Hyundai." As the first of her in different segments were ix35, ix20 and i40, even Veloster is ready to amaze those new customers who come in Hyundai showrooms, generating further spread and positive brand awareness at the national level.
Coupe unconventional
style of Veloster is the latest expression of the exclusive design language of "Fluid Sculpture" - a characteristic it shares with the latest Hyundai ix35 SUV-like C, the ix20 compact MPV and hatchback i40 - also coming to market in September. The personality of the Veloster is perceived at first glance: we can clearly see the "family feeling" of the hexagonal grid on front: "H" is here inserted in the oval brand surrounded by lines that appear to communicate basic philosophy of the "Sculpture fluid ", while the front is sealed from the air intakes on the bonnet and stylized headlamps (included on the front spoiler with fog lights) that extend up to very aggressive image. The effective rear spoiler and dual chrome exhaust tailpipe, positioned at the center of the rear axle, worthily complete the work.
The lines of the convex sides help in creating a balanced and emotional, which allows an effective aerodynamic features. The drag coefficient of just 0.32, best in its class, helps to reduce consumption. The asymmetry of the doors gives it a unique appeal to the Veloster that, depending on which side you look, it shines for the sleek look (left) or for the successful design of the door (right). The theme extends to the interior of the fluid, whose coatings are black on all versions. Even here the determination of the Veloster is obvious: there are very special care to recall the external style: such as' elegant instrument or center console, which houses the display 7 "" touch screen "(the amount of which varies depending on the versions).
Veloster is compact outside and spacious inside - even in the trunk. The designers have gained so much interior space available to the driver and passengers, with the intent to provide comfort all respect for the lower limbs and the torso of four people, never forgetting a large load capacity. Available on request include a panoramic sunroof with UV filter, which dominates the entire front and rear seats. On nice days, the cabin is so flooded with natural light, improving comfort on board. Habitability Equipment and Hi-Tech Series Despite the styling of a coupe, the spaciousness of the Veloster can compete with the established C-segment compact At a height of 1.39 meters outside corresponds almost a meter (99cm) of space for the head. A provision of the legs and shoulders are respectively 1.11 and 1.41 meters of space. But even a young family can find practice Veloster for their journeys: the sofa folding (60:40) and a good comfort for all (front and rear passengers) blend well with the large luggage compartment (320 liters), where can charge for everything.
The comprehensive standard equipment for the 1.6 Comfort includes 6 airbags, ABS + EBD, TCS + ESP, active front headrests, systems HAC (Hill Start Assist) and VSM (stability management), power steering, adjustable steering wheel height / depth and covered in leather, electric windows, 2 12V outlets, alarm with remote control and central locking, alloy wheels 17 "with 215/45 tires pressure sensor (TPMS), automatic climate control, fog lights, stereo display with integrated 7" TFT touch screen, CD player + MP3 with steering wheel controls, USB and AUX-exterior mirrors electrically adjustable and heated (with integrated turn signals). Among the options of comfort (Advanced Pack) we find the ISG (stop & Go), which allows you to limit emissions to just 137 g / km of CO2 (combined cycle), the inserts of the body relative to the bumper and front grille, the ignition button with "smart cards", and parking sensors trigger lights, sound system with subwoofer, Bluetooth connectivity and a navigation system with maps of Europe.
The brilliant 1.6 Sport Hyundai Veloster has even more aggressive aesthetics: it recognizes color inserts for alloy wheels in 18 ", sometimes at variance with the main color (for example, those who choose a Sports Veloster white inserts will blacks on the rims). This version also adds to the previous equipment Comfort 215/40 tires, instrumentation, high readability, aluminum sports pedals, seats upholstered in leather and fabric (with the driver's power lumbar adjustment feature), Bluetooth connectivity, sensor on / off lights and electrically folding exterior mirrors.
In the "package" of options provided for this model (Premium Pack) there are also inserts on the body and the front grille to the bumper, the ignition button with "smart cards", the sensors activate lights, sound system with subwoofer, Bluetooth connectivity and a navigation system with maps of Europe. But the real tip diameter of this "package" are also the panoramic sunroof, rear view camera with parking sensors and, in this case, the rear camera (with wide angle lens) sends to the screen 7 "LCD wide view (130 °) of the area behind with adjoining areas of danger (green, yellow, red), to facilitate the reverse gear or any other maneuver in tight spaces. The Veloster is equipped with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine "GDI Range" with direct injection, 16 valve twin-cam (DOHC) head with variable valve timing (CVVT). Engine block and cylinder head are made entirely of aluminum to reduce weight and maximize the delivery of the engine, which delivers 140 horsepower at 6300 revolutions / minute, with a strong torque of 167 Nm at 4850 r / min. This crossover has been adopted a 6-speed manual transmission, for an ideal balance between performance and fuel consumption (just 5.9 litres/100km in the combined cycle for version ISG). Since autumn 2011 will also be available with a version Transmission 6-speed DCT (dual clutch automatic transmission) with steering wheel - a first for the entire Hyundai range.
The new DCT combines the advantages of a manual transmission, including the sporty driving and a lower overall consumption, the requirements of an automatic transmission - and relax in city driving and the sweetness of the response. Other benefits are substantial improvements in acceleration (between 3% and 7%) and consumption (5 to 6%). Excellent road holding and directionality in all driving conditions, thanks to the front independent MacPherson strut suspension with stabilizer bar.
Version Blue Drive
In the "Blue Drive" (Comfort model), Veloster sports an effective system "Start & Stop" (ISG), which, combined with effective management of the alternator, the lower wall of the engine and tires with reduced resistance to rolling, allows to reduce CO2 emissions in just 137 g / km and fuel consumption in the order of 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Low noise The noise of the car (NVH) is further contained by placing sound-absorbing rubber coatings of greater thicker than usual: unable to effectively isolate the interior from the resonances and the noise from the road surface, leaving the driver with the pleasure of hearing "singing" only the engine.
