2012 Veloster Now Available for Chicago Hyundai Fans

World Hyundai serving Chicago is pleased to welcome the 2012 Hyundai Veloster to their showroom in Matteson. The Veloster is a cutting edge coupe that delivers innovation to the compact coupe segment with a unique third door for easy rear-seat access.

Chicago Hyundai Veloster will love the functionality the Veloster’s passenger-side forward-hinged rear door adds.  It’s designed to work almost like a hatchback, but on the side of the car, allowing easy entry and exit for back seat passengers or storage of packages or groceries.

Veloster’s unique design takes inspiration from a high-performance sport bike. Veloster has distinctive black A-pillars that give the glass a motorcycle helmet visor appearance. In the front is an aggressive form of Hyundai’s signature hexagonal front grille, hood scoop detailing, and unique Hyundai-signature LED position lights. Optional packages add a chrome grille surround, piano black highlights, fog lights, and a massive panoramic sunroof.

In profile the Veloster features “Fluidic Sculpture” character lines, muscular wheel arches, bodycolor door handles and mirrors, and wraparound headlights and taillights. Veloster comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels and offers two types of 18-inch wheels. The top-of-the-line 18-inch wheel comes with painted inserts, a segment first.

The 2012 Veloster boasts Hyundai’s all-new 1.6-liter GDI Gamma engine paired with proprietary Hyundai six-speed manual transmission and Hyundai’s first dual-clutch transmission. This new pairing helps the Veloster achieve an estimated 40mpg on the highway, better than the Honda CR-Z Hybrid.

Chicago Hyundai Veloster shoppers will be impressed with its list of advanced and safety features.  Strengthening Hyundai’s commitment to safety, the Veloster features a Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system which optimally manages ESC (Electronic Stability Control), Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS), six airbags-including dual front, front seat-mounted side-impact, and front and rear side curtain airbags. The Veloster also features a state-of-the-art braking package.

Chicago Hyundai Veloster shoppers who like to stay connected can do so in the new 2012 model. Veloster comes standard with a multifunction seven-inch touch-screen display. Pandora internet radio and Gracenote is also integrated into Veloster. The display screen has a Pandora icon to stream Internet radio from an iPhone, Android or Blackberry. Pandora can also be viewed on the display screen and songs can be given the familiar Pandora thumbs up or thumbs down by pressing an icon.

Gracenote improves how Veloster drivers access and manage their music through licensed cover art, enhanced voice recognition capabilities and “More Like This” automatic playlisting. Gracenote helps organize song metadata from a driver’s music collection, and associates specific genre classifications (e.g. Indie Rock, R&B, Classical) with the identified tracks. This lets Veloster drivers create targeted similar music playlists with a single button or voice command using Gracenote’s Playlist Plus(TM) technology.
