2017 Hyundai Veloster

Searching for a sporty and practical hatchback that will never get lost in a large parking lot?  Then check out the new Hyundai Veloster with the friendly folk’s at Huffines Hyundai McKinney!

This uniquely styled four-seater with three doors is a standout and one cool looking car coming or going.  This Veloster is in a class all by its own and it isn't only because of the three doors.  Most vehicles in this group seem to all look the same and you have to get up close to see what manufacture the car came from, not with the Veloster. 

This very sporty looking hatchback is a head turner; the Veloster can even be had with a Matte paint option, which often starts conversations and stares.  Another very positive surprise is what this Veloster costs along with its gazillion-mile warranty; so much value with so little investment. 

On your test drive you will find that this aggressive looking Veloster comes with a peppy 1.6-liter four cylinder that delivers 138 horses and is designed to keep you ahead of traffic.  The precise standard six-speed stick has low-effort throws and raises the fun factor in your driving experiences.  Also, a dual clutch six-speed automated manual is available. 

If you want some more zip in your trip, then take a test drive in the strong and popular turbo-charged four banger Veloster that lets out over 200 thoroughbreds and is mated with a seven speed automatic.  This twin scroll turbo has lots of low end power; punch it at any RPM and the Veloster delivers.  You will make excuses just to drive it anywhere. 

You will quickly find the seats are comfortable and sturdy and probably the best performance-style seats in its class.  Then for your communication and entertainment desires, you have Hyundai's very efficient and popular Blue Link setup.  Owners say it is just amazing how easy it works.  No help from your teenager here.  Hyundai's quick to learn voice command and Bluetooth systems rank highest for owner satisfaction per Consumer Reports.  This trustworthy organization also gave the Veloster one of their coveted “check marks” for a Recommended Vehicle.  So what is holding you back?  Can't be the price, reliability or customer satisfaction or the slew of standard features that include a rearview camera, a touch screen infotainment system, satellite radio, unbelievable warranty and much more.  Great fuel economy also comes standard with 30 mph plus that will let you pass those gas pumps.  The “clincher” is that this Veloster is just as fun to drive as it is to be seen in.  This three-door hatchback, especially with the popular Turbo and 7-speed auto can be a rocket ride. 

So, take that short drive to Huffines Hyundai McKinney or visit them online at http://www.huffineshyundaimckinney.com and take a spin in the Veloster and maybe check out the Rally Ultimate Edition as only 1200 were made.  It is awesome!  The bet is on that you will leave with a smile, not only because you put that “fun factor” back in your drive times, but because of the deal you received.
