Is the Hyundai Veloster AWD?

I’ve heard good things about the new Hyundai Veloster, so I’m considering buying one. But I want to know more about the drive type, first. Does the Hyundai Veloster have all-wheel drive?

**The 2022
Hyundai Veloster
, starting at $33,595, does not have all-wheel drive (AWD)**—it’s a front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicle. But rest assured, we’ve got two AWD alternatives for you:
  • Starting at $23,115 for the 2.5 trim, the
    Mazda 3
    offers the option of all-wheel drive for $1,400 extra, and it’s way cheaper than the Veloster. The Mazda 3 is a joy to drive, with athletic handling and ample power from its 2.5 L 4-cylinder powerplant.
  • If you’re willing to spend a bit more, pony up for the
    Volkswagen Golf R
    , which starts at $45,185 and comes with 4Motion all-wheel drive. The Golf R offers sublime, joyful handling, a snappy 2.0 L inline-4 cylinder engine, and 315 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
