Hyundai's All-New Veloster Priced at $17,300

Hyundai's all-new eco-friendly sport hatch, the 2012 Hyundai Veloster, will be priced starting at $17,300 with a manual transmission.

But most buyers will opt for the dual-clutch six-speed transmission which starts at $18,550.

This is right in the price range of competitors like the Scion tC ($18,575), Honda CR-Z ($19,345) and Mini Cooper ($19,500).

Fuel economy numbers are good too: manual transmission gets 28/40 mpg city/highway, 32 mpg combined. The dual-clutch: 29/32 mpg city/highway, 32 mpg combined.

The Veloster comes in only one base trim at launch, with heated power mirrors, 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, AC, power accessories, 7-inch touch-screen and a 196-watt six-speaker stereo with iPod compatibility.

The Veloster also comes with Blue Line, an OnStar-like service. Blue Link is free for the first six months.

Under the hood the Veloster boasts a 138 hp four-cylinder engine, averaging 40 mpg highway with the dual-clutch automatic.
