The three-door sports hatchback will be offered in the States in a single trim level, with the six-speed manual model priced at $17,300 and the six-speed EcoShift Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) version at $18,550. Neither price includes a $760 freight charge, which lifts the cost to $18,060 and $19,310 respectively.

Along with pricing, the South Korean automaker announced fuel economy figures for the Veloster that is powered by a 1.6-liter four-pot generating 138-ponies.
