2018 Hyundai Veloster debuts at Manila International Auto Show

MANILA: The all-new 2018 Hyundai Veloster has made its way to the Philippines. The newest iteration of the coupe carries a turbocharged engine and a sleeker appearance. Not that we had many complaints with the previous version, but the Veloster has surely pushed up the ante.

Measuring 4,240mm in length, 1,800 mm in width and 1,409 mm in height, the 2018 Hyundai Veloster comes with an aerodynamic design. The interior of the Hyundai Veloster features a driver-oriented cabin. A new dual gauge cluster can be seen against the driver’s seat. The car also gets a three-spoke steering wheel. Power adjustable driver’s seat, paddle shifters, trip computer and power side mirrors are some of the other features of the all-new Hyundai Veloster. The center console gets a new touchscreen infotainment system along with automatic climate control system.

The revamped exterior of the Hyundai Veloster gives it a bolder face and a sleeker rear, all of this, while not compromising much with the previous model’s design. Sharper tail lights can be seen on its rear, while the front side gets restyled LED headlights with a new cascading grille.

A seven-speed dual clutch transmission system sends power to its front wheels. It also gets a new multi-link rear suspension. The 2018 Hyundai Veloster can crank a maximum horsepower of up to 204 PS at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 264 Nm between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm powered by its 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

The 2018 Veloster also features a number of safety features like the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), smart key, six airbags along with a reverse camera with parking assist. According to Hyundai, the Veloster will be delivering a better handling experience over the outgoing model. The 2018 Hyundai Veloster is priced at Php 1,798,000.
