2016 Veloster Highlights

It needed more torque and improved rear suspension but we got this instead. Abandon all hope!
If you want better suspension options the Kia Pro_Cee’d GT and Cee’d GT offer this.
Very similar setup to the Veloster but it has independent rear suspension
Kia Pro_Cee’d GT and Cee’d GT are European models only. Not sold in the U.S.
They are sold in Australia.
Okay. But I was referring to U.S. market. Kia Cee’d is not marketed here.
