2017 Hyundai Veloster Release Date, Specs, Price News: Value Edition Added to Lineup
Hyundai has introduced a new model to the Veloster lineup — the Value Edition. Despite having an affordable price tag, customers won't feel like they scrimped as the compact coupe is equipped with a lot of enticing standard features.
"The Value Edition epitomizes our desire to provide consumers more for less. These are amongst the most sought after options in a car, in one convenient value savings package," said Mike Evanoff, manager of product planning for Hyundai Motor America.
The base Veloster starts at just $18,100 while the new Value Edition is priced at $21,350. Opting for the Value Edition package will give customers $950 in savings as opposed to paying for additional components separately.

Prospective customers also get to enjoy the Blue Link Connected Car System, Blue Link Remote Start and a premium audio system with eight speakers, an external amplifier and a subwoofer.
The 2017 Hyundai Veloster is powered by a 1.6-liter direct-injected inline-4 engine that delivers 132 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque. Customers also have the option of adding a twin-scroll turbo to increase power output to 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The Value Edition will come standard with a six-speed EcoShift dual-clutch transmission.
When it comes to protection while on the road, Hyundai has all the Veloster's bases covered with active safety features including six airbags — two in the front, one each on the driver and passenger's side and two on the curtain — and front seatbelt pre-tensioners that accurately secures those inside the sport compact car.
Meanwhile, passive safety comes in the form of Vehicle Stability Management, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-lock Brakes, Tire Pressure Monitoring System and Daytime Running Lights.
The 2017 Veloster Value Edition will be available to purchase at dealerships nationwide.
