Hyundai Released their new model the Veloster. A brand new edition to the Hyundai range, the Veloster is for the first time released in 2013, there was no car like this in the Hyundai range. Bringing a new concept in a car, the Veloster combines the style of a coupé with the functionality of a hatchback. The Veloster brings a sporty look to a practical car.
