While some automakers have phased out traditional passenger cars, Hyundai maintains a partial commitment to models like the Elantra, Sonata, and electric Ioniq 6. However, the lineup has contracted over the years, leaving a notable absence: the distinctive Veloster. This quirky model departed from Hyundai’s U.S. lineup a couple of years ago, leaving enthusiasts yearning for its return.
The hot hatch Veloster N, known for its 2.0L four-cylinder engine producing 275 hp, quickly garnered attention. Equipped with a standard manual transmission and a range of sporty features, it offers a thrilling driving experience. Despite its departure, the Veloster N left an enduring impression on enthusiasts.
While Hyundai explored a plug-in hybrid prototype of the Veloster, the project was ultimately abandoned. However, the rendering community recently reimagined a 2025 Hyundai Veloster, drawing inspiration from existing Hyundai models and showcasing potential design directions.
Should Hyundai revive the Veloster and reintroduce it to the market? The rendering sparks speculation and nostalgia, reigniting interest in this unique model. Enthusiasts eagerly await Hyundai’s decision, pondering the possibility of owning a revived Veloster.
