Hyundai introduced the Veloster model locally in 2013 which sparked controversy with its four-door configuration. On the passenger side of the Korean model, there are two doors to allow for easy access for both the front and rear occupants. On the driver side of the vehicle, Hyundai only fitted a single door to create a sporty coupe feel for the pilot.
In 2015, Hyundai gave the Veloster an update and also introduced the Veloster Turbo variant which from its 1.6-litre, turbocharged, 4-cylinder motor is capable of producing 150 kW and 265 Nm of torque. The naturally aspirated 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine could only muster 103 kW and 167 Nm by comparison. Unfortunately, the Veloster's time is up in South Africa and if you want one you will have to browse used Hyundai Veloster models on AutoTrader.

If you own a Hyundai Veloster, you might be considering adding a few accessories to protect and spruce up the Korean model. While you should be able to find accessories for your car at reputable stores locally, we compiled this list with items listed on the www.hyundaishop.com website as this allows you to order the components from the comfort of your own home.
1. Bonnet protection film
First on this list is a practical and quite unnoticeable accessory. Bonnet protection film is a thin clear strip that is applied to the front of the bonnet to protect it from chips and scratches caused by stones and debris hitting the bonnet while driving. While this might seem very boring as an accessory, it could save you a lot of time and money repairing chips at a later stage of your vehicle ownership.
2. Boot liner
Another practical accessory is a boot liner. This is a rubber mat that is perfectly moulded to fit in the boot of your Hyundai Veloster. While again this might seem like a boring accessory, it will protect the carpeting from any spilt items whether it is dust or grime or even fluids like paint and oil that will never come out of the carpeted surface. This can again save you money in the future as you won't have to replace the factory-fitted boot liner.
3. LED door sills
The next accessory is both practical and will bolster the styling on your Veloster. The LED door sills will light up every time you open your door to climb in the vehicle and adds a touch of style to your vehicle. On the other hand, the new door sills will still provide protection for the bodywork getting scratched as you climb in and out of the vehicle.
4. LED ambient lighting
Let's continue on this route of styling features with the LED ambient lighting kit. A more recent trend from automakers is to incorporate ambient lighting to set the mood while you drive. This kit allows Veloster owners to add a little colour to the interior while driving at night and comes with all the necessary hardware and a comprehensive installation guide so you can do it at home. While it is only offered in blue, it does come with an on/off switch as well as a dimmer control.
5. Body graphics
To add a little more flair to the exterior, why not consider one of the varieties of body graphics? With pre-cut dimensions and a comprehensive application guide, you could add graphics to the exterior all by yourself. However, it is recommended that you take the kit to companies that do vehicle wrapping as they might just achieve a better result.
6. Roof spoiler vortex generator
The roof spoiler vortex generator is an easy-to-install add-on to your Hyundai Veloster. Not only does it bolster the exterior styling and add a touch of sportiness, but it also helps with the airflow over the roof of the vehicle. Once again this is an accessory you can install all on your own as it doesn't require any modifications to the bodywork.
