Hyundai Veloster Named "Best Economy Car" by Bloomberg
Guess what? The all-new 2012 Hyundai Veloster got another award! This time, the car earned the title of “Best Economy Car” in Bloomberg’s recent “Best Drives of 2011.”
It’s really no surprise because the Veloster is an innovative compact coupe that features lots of neat and useful things such as a unique third door for easy rear-seat access, Hyundai’s Blue Link® telematics system and Pandora® internet radio with seven-inch touch-screen display.
The Veloster is also one of four Hyundai vehicles that achieve 40 mpg on the highway, along with the Accent, Elantra and Sonata Hybrid.
In the third annual roundup of the year’s best vehicles compiled by Bloomberg, Veloster drew praise from the editors for “amenities like touch-screen navigation, automatic everything, Bluetooth and a rear-view camera.”
“Hyundai has four models which hit the 40 mpg mark, only one a hybrid. That’s progress for the people,” said Jason Harper, Bloomberg’s auto critic. “Most of us want a nice-driving, good-looking automobile that won’t sledgehammer us into debt. Hyundai has gotten in the habit of over-delivering very good cars at underwhelming prices. The Veloster is the most out-and-out fun.”
Joining the Veloster as “Best Drives of 2011” are the Range Rover Evoque, the Lamborghini Aventador, the BMW 1 Series M Coupe and the Overall 2011 Winner, the Audi A7.
