Along with the distinct design, the 2015 Hyundai Veloster is also powered by a decent 1.6-liter engine.
There are only a few vehicles that have experimented with their looks and features that they offer in the hatchback vehicle segment. The Hyundai Veloster is one of them with its asymmetrical single door on the driver's side and 2-door on the passenger side. But Hyundai has aced this design and does not seem out of place at all.
Along with the distinct design, the 2015 Hyundai Veloster is also powered by a decent 1.6-liter engine. Available at a starting price of $18,700, the Veloster is one of the affordable vehicles out there. It competes with a few of the equally capable vehicles like the Ford Fiesta and the Subaru Impreza.
If a comfortable daily commute is your goal, we would suggest going for the base variant which is equipped with a 1.6-liter engine that generates a decent 138 hp and gets cruise control, a rearview camera, 7-inch touchscreen display, voice command, and Pandora internet to name a few. If you seek more comfort, we suggest adding the Style Package, which adds a sunroof, leather upholstery, and an eight-speaker LG Dimension premium audio system.

It may not be the best in the comparison, but simply great in this segment.

The interior of the Veloster offers a great interior along with enough spacing to accommodate up to four people. The seats are bolstered to provide good comfort overall, while the leather seats available in the higher trims make the ride even more comfortable.
The front row provides decent headroom, but tall drivers would still keep longing for more. A similar situation is seen for the front legroom where it feels a bit cramped. The Veloster also provides a decent cargo volume of 15.5 cu.ft, which increases to a decent 34.7 cu.ft with the rear seats folded.Â
