What does it cost?
For The Hyundai Veloster is cheaper than most of its rivals, and its distinctive looks will appeal to some people. The single rear door isn’t just a talking point; it improves rear access.
Against The ride is firm, the steering is remote and there isn’t much room in the back. Refinement is also poor and you need to thrash the engine to make decent progress.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Hyundai Veloster is a four-seater coupe that's designed to steal sales from the Vauxhall Astra GTC and the VW Scirocco.
On top of its oddball looks, it offers something none of its rivals do – a single rear door on the passenger’s side. This adds a handy dose of practicality and ensures the Hyundai's 'best' side is facing the driver as he or she approaches.
Only one engine – a 138bhp 1.6 petrol – is available, but there are two trims to choose from. We’d suggest sticking with the entry-level model; it’s cheaper to buy and comes with plenty of standard equipment.
The Veloster is priced lower than its closest competitor, the Vauxhall Astra GTC. However, the Vauxhall is a significantly better car and is available with some tempting discounts, so we’d think carefully before choosing the Hyundai.
