Hyundai’s Veloster Grappler Concept coming to SEMA shows off the vehicles off-road capability.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 2019 SEMA show is fast approaching and the vehicles on display typically fit into one of two categories: fast and powerful or off-road beast \u2014 the Hyundai Veloster Grappler is definitely the latter.<\/p>\n

The South Korean automaker\u2019s Veloster is a small hatch that already includes a hot hatch variant, the Veloster N, so the company decided to show what it can do when its off the tarmac.<\/p>\n

The Grappler concept boasts increased ground clearance, combining superb approach and departure angles for confident off-roading capability, while custom front and rear brush guards were developed to ensure the Veloster Grappler is protected whenever the terrain turns unpredictable, the company noted.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not just a designed to crawl around on rough trails. With oversized all-terrain tires and rally-themed Method Racing wheels, it remains true to its sporty heritage. Contributing to that overall feel are Borla cat-back exhaust components provide that rally car sound matching the rally car image.<\/p>\n

Heading off into the middle of nowhere means you need to bring stuff, and the Grappler has that covered with a roof-mounted Thule utility basket and a high-output lighting system from Baja Designs. A full host of roof-mounted utility lights provides plenty of functionality for whatever\u2019s needed: work lights, nighttime off-roading lights, etc.<\/p>\n

In addition to helping carry necessary \u201cstuff,\u201d the utility basket also serves as a base mount for the removable solar panel from Goal Zero. The panel supplies the juice for an all-electric portable power station mounted inside the cabin for remote journeys.<\/p>\n

A custom vinyl exterior body wrap features a ghosted Hyundai-themed livery. Finally, a Seibon carbon-fiber hood effectively vents excess engine bay heat when things heat up out on the road.<\/p>\n

Tough and capable on the outside means tough and capable on the inside as well with an integrated roll bar to protect occupant. The roll bar also carries the full-size spare wheel and tire. The interior also features traction mats, an oversized utility shovel, a Goal Zero portable power station, roadside assistance kit, first aid kit, Napier outdoor dome tent, Scosche Mounts, Goal Zero crush lights and premium Recaro seats finished in a vintage houndstooth check pattern.<\/p>\n

Exterior lighting is modulated through a custom-designed switch panel. Hyundai genuine accessories round out the functionality of the vehicle, adding sport pedals, a sport shifter, all-weather mats, ambient footwell lighting and cargo blocks.<\/p>\n
