Codename FS and Shared Platform
Developed under the codename FS, the Veloster is built on a modified version of the Cee'd's front‑wheel‑drive platform. This platform sharing helped Hyundai launch the new model quickly in the 2011 model year.
Sport‑Motorcycle Inspired Design
When Hyundai introduced the all‑new Veloster for the 2012 model year, the car’s hatchback styling was deliberately inspired by sport motorcycles. The design emphasis on athletic lines set the Veloster apart from conventional compact hatchbacks.
Production Span and Model Gaps
The first‑generation Veloster (FS) was produced from its 2011 introduction until 2017. Notably, Hyundai did not produce a Veloster model in 2018, after which later model years continued through 2021. Throughout its run, the Veloster offered either a regular or turbocharged four‑cylinder engine paired with a six‑speed manual or automatic transmission.
