| Home /Hyundai / List of Hyundai Veloster Models without Timing Belt

The Hyundai Veloster is a sports car (C-segment in Europe) manufactured by the South Korean marque Hyundai. It went on sale in 2011. Its name comes from the combination of the words ‘Velocity‘ and ‘Roadster‘.

The Veloster arrived in late 2011 as a replacement for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe and Hyundai Coupe (also known as Hyundai Tiburon).

The first generation Veloster was produced on the Hyundai-Kia PB platform. It was a coupe with gasoline-only versions that was marketed in standard and turbo versions. During this generation, racing versions of this vehicle were also launched. The Veloster had only 1.6 4-cylinder engines developing between 130 and 186 hp.

The second generation Veloster would arrive in 2018 with a very different design from the previous stage. It kept its asymmetrical door design and added multiple safety and equipment improvements. In 2019, the South Korean brand launched the Veloster N, the performance version of this sports car. It equipped a turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine coupled to a dual-clutch gearbox and with an output of 275 hp.

The Veloster was sold for 2 generations in total. In 2022, after the second generation did not end up selling well in North America, Hyundai decided to stop production except for the Veloster N version. Among the competitors of the Veloster we have vehicles of the same style as the Toyota GT86 – Subaru BRZ, the Volkswagen Scirocco or the Honda CR-Z. It also rivaled the sports versions of vehicles such as the Seat Leon, the Renault Megane or the Opel Astra.
