we'll be seeing far fewer Velosters on the streets come 2022, because Hyundai is killing off the unconventional runabout save for one trim.

After initially confirming  to Car and Driver that the Veloster would live on in 2022, Hyundai has now clarified that, after studying each trim level, all Velosters will be discontinued except for the hot-hatch Veloster N. A Hyundai spokesman confirmed the cull to Autoblog.

That means the Veloster 2.0, 2.0 Premium, Turbo R-Spec, Turbo and Turbo Ultimate will not see model year 2022.

The reasoning, according to the report, is as old as the stars (or at least the original RAV4). Hyundai wants to "prioritize" its compact crossovers, the Venue and Kona. That means, like the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta, Toyota Yaris and numerous other small cars, the Veloster is going the way of the dodo. Apparently, not enough customers want a beetle-shaped (the insect, not the VW) small car with three doors any more.
