Hyundai has pulled the wraps off of a limited edition of its compact Veloster today at the Chicago Auto Show. The Hyundai Veloster RE:FLEX Edition is a style and audio package that will be limited to 3,000 units.
Building on previous special edition cars like the Veloster RE:MIX that debuted at the 2012 SEMA show, the RE:FLEX offers a host of cosmetic improvements over the standard model. Most visibly are a set of unique 10-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels finished in PVD for a chrome-like surface, complemented by chrome hood accents and door handles.
Inside the cabin, leather seating is offered in a choice of black or red, the latter of which is not available on standard Velosters. Premium options such as a 450-watt Dimension 8-speaker sound system and fog lights come standard on the RE:FLEX. Piano black accents, illuminated door sills, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob are part of the package as well, as is a the obligatory RE:FLEX badging throughout.
A new color, Ice Pearl, is exclusive to the RE:FLEX, but Century White, Vitamin C orange, Ultra Black and Boston Red from the standard palette are available as well.
All RE:FLEX models will be powered by the naturally aspirated 138hp 1.6-liter inline-four, backed by Hyundai’s 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Veloster RE:FLEX is set to reach showrooms this spring. Pricing has yet to be announced.
