  • Veloster. Live Loud
    Veloster. Live loud. We have one goal – to be Australia’s most-loved car company. We’re driven by the simple philosophy that life’s most incredible moments shouldn’t be reserved for a select few. Everyone is entitled to experience an amazing drive. So how do we make that happen? We start by pushing our own boundaries, by making premium standard, and by engineering the most enjoyable ride possible. The Veloster is Hyundai at its creative, imaginative best; a car for those who like to stand out from the crowd. With its unique sports coupe design, it makes a bold statement and turns heads wherever you go, while never sacrificing substance for style. While you’re living loud on the outside, the Veloster’s stylish interior is your personal space on the move, fitted with an array of new technology and connected features. You’ll also feel connected to the road, thanks to the extensive local suspension development program we’ve carried out, to perfect the Veloster’s ride and handling for Australian conditions. All of which ensures the new Hyundai Veloster is every bit as exciting to drive as it looks. Veloster. Style. Driven. Beauty shouldn’t be sacrificed for practicality. Just because you own a sporty coupe, with the sharp lines and daring desirability that the Veloster exudes, doesn’t mean you need to miss out on the practicality and versatility of a conventional hatchback. What Hyundai has done is combine both, giving you the best of both worlds. The Veloster looks like a two-door sports car, with its cascading grille and sleek lines, making it seem ready to pounce.
