The 2021 Hyundai Veloster comes built with a practical yet beautifully curated cabin inside which is spacious, comfortable, and feature-packed. The cabin comes wrapped with good quality cloth, which feels soft and premium. The cabin can seat 4 people and as standard, the seats are covered with premium cloth gray or black with the driver’s seat being a 6-way manually adjustable bucket seat. On the front, the head and legroom offered are on the wider side. However, the story is less interesting in the back, the head and legroom are on the confined side, which can be concerning for tall passengers.
Other standard features included a tilt-telescopic steering wheel with audio and cruise control, AC, power windows and door locks, a multi-functional driver’s display, dual-tiered armrest with storage boxes, beverage holders, and many other features. Optional features comprise leather-wrapped steering with a shift-knob, power panoramic sunroof, a power outlet, and driver auto-up window. On the rear side, the 2012 Veloster offers 15.5 cubic feet of cargo space, which can be well used according to one’s needs. One can fold them to get further space.
