2013 Hyundai Veloster RE:MIX Spins Out of SEMA Show

  • Date Published: 11/01/2012
Hyundai's RE:MIX Lab is a national tour "celebrating creativity in music, art, fashion, technology, gaming, culture and design," and exposing younger car buyers to the automaker's products in the process. According to Hyundai, the new 2013 Veloster RE:MIX is inspired by the tour and calls it RE:MIX because "this Veloster is a cool blend of exclusive features and options that create a distinctive lifestyle offering." The Veloster RE:MIX was introduced at this week's Specialty Equipment Marketing Associaion (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, NV.

The new Veloster RE:MIX is based on the standard Hyundai Veloster with the 138-horsepower, 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, with changes primarily cosmetic in nature. The Veloster RE:MIX is equipped with projector-beam headlights, LED running lights, LED taillights, and fog lights. Finished in special Sprint Gray paint, the Veloster RE:MIX features a unique body kit, upgraded exterior trim, and Gunmetal 18-inch aluminum wheels. A Disco graphics package is optional, as well as P215/40ZR18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport performance tires.

Inside, the 2013 Veloster RE:MIX is equipped with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, LED interior lighting kit, RE:MIX floor mats, and a Proximity Key system with push-button ignition. Perhaps more important to the target buyer--younger consumers--the Veloster RE:MIX supplies a standard 460-watt Dimension premium sound system with satellite radio, auxiliary audio input jack, iPod connection, USB port, and a 7-inch touch screen.

Veloster RE:MIX pricing starts at $19,900, plus a $775 destination charge. The car goes on sale before Christmas 2012.
