With the Geneva Motor Show just around the corner, Hyundai gave several journalists an early glimpse of what it has in store for the upcoming show. Alongside the Europe-only i40 CW (they get all the good ones eh?), the all new Veloster tailored for the European market also made its premature debut at this event. From these pictures alone, we can discern several minor tweaks made for the European version including a different (and better looking if we must say) set of alloy wheels and a brighter shade of orange paint compared to that of the North American version.
In Europe, the Veloster will arrive in showrooms this spring with the same 138 horsepower 1.6-liter GDI engine found in the North American version and a choice between a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic transmission with dual clutch. A diesel version may be in the pipeline, but has not been confirmed yet by Hyundai.
Stay tuned for more information to come during the Veloster's official presentation next week.
