2012 Hyundai Veloster Design
The Veloster concept has come to life as a production model at this week’s 2011 North
American International Auto Show in Detroit. Hyundai’s Veloster is actually more outlandish than the 2007 design study thanks to its asymmetric layout with a single door on the driver’s side and two conventional doors on the passenger-side.
The Veloster’s total interior volume of 105.3 cubic feet beats all the aforementioned models, while the automaker also notes that at just 2,584 pounds, its small coupe is more than 400 pounds lighter than the Scion tC.In interior of Hyundai Veloster includes the center stack and controls are said to resemble a sport bike fuel tank and incorporate an available push-button starter. Hyundai added that the air vents are inspired by motorcycle tailpipes, while the floor console mirrors the seat of a bike.

2012 Hyundai Accent Design
A long-neglected segment in the U.S. market, the subcompact scene has suddenly gotten very interesting. First came Honda’s second-generation Fit, which set the bar for the other contenders. Then, Ford’s Euro-cutie 2011 Fiesta made its stateside debut, followed shortly thereafter by its distant cousin, the Mazda2. All al
ong, Hyundai’s Accent soldiered on as competent, if somewhat unremarkable, contender in the segment. Its competitiveness in the U.S. market was also hampered by the lack of a five-door configuration.
Now that Hyundai has finally gained respectability with consumers and critics with such models as the Genesis, Equus, Sonata, and new Elantra, the automaker is looking to dominate the subcompact segment with its all-new 2012 Hyundai Accent. No longer an also-ran, second-tier competitor, the new Accent has upped its game substantially. In equipment, style, and pricing, it poses the most serious and credible threat to the Fiesta and Fit to date. The one casualty of this re-imagining is the three-door hatch. In fact, the only three-door models in the segment are a version of the Toyota Yaris and Fiat’s recently introduced 500 subcompact, which isn’t offered in any other style.
So what’s there to get excited about with Hyundai’s new entry-level offering? Try the segment’s only direct-injected engine, which also now happens to be the most powerful, at 138 horsepower and 123 lb-ft of torque. Read the rest of this entry »
