Hyundai is releasing a new Veloster Grappler concept at the SEMA aftermarket show in Las Vegas in November.<\/p>\n

The concept gives Grappler’s three-door hatch an off-road treatment with more ground clearance and approach, as well as increased departure angles. Hyundai engineers also added custom brush guards in the front and back, oversized all-terrain tires on the “rally-inspired” Method Racing wheels. For better accommodation of this new tire setup, the automaker also gave the Grappler wider fenders and a modified front and rear fascia.<\/p>\n

A Baja Designs light bar is also seated on the roof of the Grappler for a good view of the trail, right next to the Thule utility basket that hugely increases the vehicle’s cargo capacity. The utility basket also serves as a base mount for the removable solar panel, which also works as an electric portable power station.<\/p>\n

At the SEMA show, the model is expected to draw attention with its exterior highlighted by a Hyundai-themed custom vinyl wrap and carbon-fiber hood.<\/p>\n

For the interior, Hyundai gave the hatchback an integrated roll cage that provides room for a spare wheel and tire mount. The custom seats, meanwhile, are adorned with a vintage houndstooth-check pattern. More off-roading accessories are also found inside the car: traction mats, a utility shovel, Goal Zero mobile power station and crush lights, road-assistance kit, first-aid kit, and a Napier outdoor dome tent. All these are coupled with Hyundai’s own accessories such as sport pedals, sport shifter, all-weather floor mats, and ambient lighting system.<\/p>\n

Should the company decide to give the Grappler a green light on production, customers will be treated to another Veloster specially made for the trail, joining the racetrack-specific Veloster N in the lineup.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
