Power

The 2012 Hyundai Veloster comes with two engine options. The base engine is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder that produces 138 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque. The optional engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 148 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed manual transmission, with a six-speed automatic transmission available as an option. The Veloster's performance is adequate, but not particularly impressive. The base engine provides enough power for everyday driving, but it can feel sluggish when accelerating. The optional engine provides better acceleration, but it is still not particularly quick. The Veloster's handling is also adequate, but it is not as agile as some of its competitors.

Interior Comfort and Cargo

The interior of the 2012 Hyundai Veloster is stylish and well-equipped, with comfortable seats and plenty of features. Standard features include a tilt and telescopic steering wheel, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a CD player. Available features include heated seats, leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a navigation system. The Veloster is also surprisingly comfortable, with plenty of headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers. The seats are supportive and offer good lumbar support. The ride is smooth and quiet, and the cabin is well-insulated from road noise. The Veloster's cargo capacity is impressive for a car of its size. With the rear seats folded down, the Veloster can accommodate up to 44.5 cubic feet of cargo. The rear seats can also be folded down in a 60/40 split, to accommodate longer items.
