Car shopping is always more exciting when you’re looking for something that’s fun to drive. Being able to shop for a vehicle that can offer thrills during everyday drives makes the entire process easier and more fulfilling. That’s why so many drivers are excited to get behind the wheel of the new Veloster. Here are three fun-to-drive features of the 2020 Hyundai Veloster. 

Nimble Performance

The primary source of fun from the new Veloster is its engine, and you have two engines to choose from. The standard engine is a 2-liter four-cylinder that generates 147 horsepower with 132 pound-feet of torque. If that’s not enough, however, you can always upgrade to the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that boasts an impressive 201 horsepower with 195 pound-feet of torque.

Accessing all this power is easy, no matter which transmission option you choose. You can opt for a six-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Additionally, the handling of the Veloster is among its best performance features, as it’s well-suited for both highway and city driving. You can zip around corners with ease, and it never feels like you have too much car to handle. 

Advanced Infotainment

Inside the Veloster, you’ll find a state-of-the-art infotainment system that’s designed to make your drive as fun and easy as possible. The infotainment system is accessible through a 7-inch display screen that comes complete with Bluetooth connectivity, and that’s just on the standard model. You can also upgrade to an 8-inch screen with integrated navigation.

Pairing your Veloster to your smartphone is easy, as every model comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. If you’re looking to keep your phone charged on long drives, you can take advantage of the wireless device charger. The six-speaker sound system is enough to keep you and your passengers entertained, but upgrades are available that make interior audio truly studio quality.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Enjoying your drive in the Veloster is easy with the peace of mind you get thanks to its numerous safety and driver assistance features. In fact, some of the most impressive features are entirely standard on all models, such as forward-collision warning and lane-keeping assistance.

One of the most sought-after features is the smart cruise control with stop and go. Driving through traffic isn’t fun, to put it mildly. With this system, however, you can set the desired speed, and your Veloster will automatically adjust that speed in response to changing traffic conditions. It will always keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. Of course, if the vehicle ahead of you stops suddenly, the forward-collision mitigation system will kick in and hit the brakes for you.
