Also available is Hyundai’s innovative power Hands-Free Smart Liftgate with Auto Open, which makes it even easier for owners to gain access to the cargo area whenever their hands are full. This system makes it easy for the driver to keep both feet comfortably on the ground by simply standing within a few feet of the rear bumper with the key fob in a purse or pocket for a few seconds.



BLUE LINK® STANDARD SERVICES

        USA - After gaining on of Kelley Blue Books 10 coolest cars, Hyundai adds a Value addition to the Veloster.

        • 18-inch alloy wheels, panoramic sunroof, and premium audio are just a few of many features wrapped in a modestly priced package that adds even more versatility in 2017
        As one of Kelley Blue Book’s “10 Coolest Cars under $18,000” in 2016, a new Value Edition comes to the hippest small car on the market for the 2017 model year. At just $21,350 the Veloster Value Edition with a standard 6-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission delivers $950 in value savings and includes several desirable features.

        2017 Hyundai Veloster Value Edition includes:
        • 18-inch alloy wheels with 225/40 R18 tires
        • Panoramic Sunroof
        • Proximity key with push button start
        • 7-inch Navigation system including Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™
        • Automatic climate control
        • Blue Link® Connected Car System
        • Blue Linpeakers, external amp and subwooferk Remote Start
        • Premium Dimension audio system, with 8 s


         “The Value Edition epitomizes our desire to provide consumers more for less,” said Mike Evanoff, Product Planning Manager. “These are amongst the most sought after options in a car, in one convenient value savings package.”

        This new trim level bolsters an already solid Veloster line-up which starts at just $18,100.


        FIESTY ENGINES, FRIENDLY TRANSMISSION CHOICES
        Thrust comes from a 1.6-liter, Gasoline Direct Injection, Dual Overhead Cam, 16-valve, inline-4 engine, but you choose whether or not it also includes a turbocharger. 

        The naturally aspirated unit produces a healthy 132 peak horsepower at 6300 rpm and 120 pound-feet of torque at 4850 rpm. Adding the twin-scroll turbo to the stainless-steel, integrated exhaust-manifold increases peak horsepower to a potent 201 at 6000 rpm and torque to 195 pound-feet at just 1750 rpm, and maintains the pull all the way through 4500. 

        No matter the engine, choose between a six-speed manual or dual-clutch transmission, six-speed for naturally aspirated motors, turbos get seven speeds.



        THREE DOORS AND A HATCH
        Sixty-five percent of the Veloster’s structure is made from high-strength steel. This benefits everything from ride to road noise. It also makes an excellent foundation for a sport-tuned suspension. 

        For even more control, the Veloster Turbo features brake-based torque vectoring to mitigate understeer and enhance its already impressive turn-on-a-dime nature. With a driver’s door, front and rear passenger doors, and capacious 15.5 cubic-feet of cargo space underneath the hatch, the Veloster offers both utility and excitement in a sharply styled package.



        SAFETY
        Great safety equipment come standard on every Veloster, including a NHTSA 5-star safety rating. Active safety comes from six airbags(two up front, as well as driver and passenger side and curtain airbags) along with front seatbelt pre-tensioners that hold folks tight rounding out the features. 

        Passive safety comes from Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control (TC), Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), as well as a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Daytime Running Lights (DRL). That’s a lot of initials and a lot of ways to avoid an incident from ever occurring.



        FOUR ON THE SHOWROOM FLOOR
        Whether you choose a well-equipped standard car, opt for the Value Edition, or add forced induction to the mix with either the Veloster Turbo or R-Spec, it doesn’t matter, you receive great value. You chose style, class, and practicality. You chose cool.

        USA - The 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport puts an exclamation point on the fully realized Elantra sedan lineup.

        • Value-Laden Package Delivers Turbocharged Fun and Unique Features

        The 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport puts an exclamation point on the fully realized Elantra sedan lineup. 

        It’s not just an appearance package, the most dynamic Elantra ever adds a healthy dose of fun along with a host of model-specific powertrain, chassis and equipment upgrades. All this comes at a starting MSRP of just $21,650 with the standard 6-speed manual transmission. 

        Drivers who prefer automated shifting can opt for the Elantra Sport with a 7-speed DCT and paddle shifters for $22,750. Both are subject to an additional $835 destination charge.

        Included in the base price is a 1.6L Turbo-GDI engine that produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. To complement that increased output (up from 147 hp and 132 lb.-ft. in Elantra), Elantra Sport receives a model-exclusive multi-link rear suspension, higher spring and damper rates, revised steering, exclusive 18” alloy wheels and upgraded brakes.
        Inside, Hyundai builds on Elantra’s award-winning user experience—recently named one of Wards 10 Best—by adding unique heated leather sport front seats with more aggressive bolstering, a leather-wrapped flat-bottomed steering wheel, red contrast stitching, and a black headliner. These upgrades nicely complement the comprehensive standard feature set that includes, among other items, an AM/FM/HD/SiriusXM 7” Display Audio system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, HID headlights and proximity key with push button start.
        For $2,400, drivers may add the available Premium Package, which adds an 8” navigation system, 8-speaker Infinity premium audio system with Clari-Fi Music restoration technology, Blue Link connectivity, a power sunroof, Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-traffic Alert & Lane Change Assist, dual automatic temperature control with auto defogger, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink and a compass.
        “With Elantra Sport, we deliver a relentlessly fun daily driver that offers unprecedented performance for the Elantra nameplate,” said Mike Evanoff, product manager for the Elantra lineup. “Just as importantly, Sport continues Elantra’s superb value story by offering a compelling mix of standard and available equipment at pricing that undercuts rival sport sedans in its category. With Elantra Sport’s arrival, we are able to offer an Elantra for every type of driving personality.”
