Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	3dr Hatch 132-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Like most Hyundais, even the Base model Veloster comes with a lot of features other cars didn't give you in the 2010's. Power windows and locks, remote entry, bluetooth, touchscreen radio with voice command, rear spoiler, 5-spoke rims on low profile tires, reverse camera, ABS, anti-theft (yes, it has a car alarm of sorts), TCS, and a dual clutch transmission. Yes, a Dual Clutch. On an economy car. More on that below. see full Hyundai Veloster review
