It hasn’t officially been launched here yet, but here’s an ad for the Hyundai Veloster that’s just popped up on oto.my which offers a suggestion as to its pricing. The ad, posted by Advant Speed of Petaling Jaya, states a price of RM119k for the unique 2+1 coupe, and that it is open for booking, but divulges little else.
We can expect the Malaysian-market Veloster to be powered by a 1.6 litre Gamma II unit that produces 132 hp, and be available with manual and automatic transmissions. Of course, we’ll have to wait for the launch proper before we get more details and a confirmed price, which isn’t very far away now.
