Hyundai Veloster to spawn five-door variant - report

2012 Hyundai Veloster 10.01.2011

Playing it safe

In a recent interview, Hyundai's Manager of Overseas Product Planning, Eunjoo Shin, revealed the company is developing a Veloster with a traditional five-door body style.

While this sounds a tad peculiar, Hyundai could be hedging their bets in case consumers balk at the current model's four-door arrangement which has two normal doors, a tiny third door (on the passenger side) and a rear hatch.

No word on when the new variant will be released, but expect to learn more in the coming months.

When the car was first launched, people baulked at its quirky door arrangement. I think Hyundai is doing things boldly despite the company's conservative leadership. It goes to show they are willing to accept change as and when necessary. However, I think the public still is a conservative and pragmatic lot, hence such a decision was made. I hoped Hyundai would continue to progress in a controversial fashion as long as possible. It made people rethink what made a Hyundai a unique proposition.

it better not sell. "the nerve" on hyundai to retail this car starting from 20k euros (29k dolars). that's almost bmw 1er, audi a3 teritory. still it's a hyundai, so they should really cut down those prices if they want to sell.
