This is the logo of the Hyundai Veloster, a hatchback model under the Hyundai brand. Here are the key details about the Hyundai Veloster: 1. Dimensions: The car has a wheelbase of 2650mm, with length/width/height measurements of 4250mm, 1805mm, and 1405mm respectively. 2. Engines: The Veloster comes with two engine options - a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.6L turbocharged engine. 3. 1.6L Turbocharged Engine: Delivers 204 horsepower and 265Nm of maximum torque. This engine reaches peak power at 6000rpm and maximum torque between 1750-4500rpm. It features DCVVT technology, direct fuel injection, and an aluminum cylinder head/block. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 4. 1.6L Naturally Aspirated Engine: Produces 129 horsepower and 157Nm of maximum torque, achieving peak power at 6300rpm and maximum torque at 4850rpm. It incorporates DCVVT technology, multi-point fuel injection, and an aluminum cylinder head/block, paired with a 6AT transmission. 5. Suspension: The Veloster uses MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. The rear torsion beam design helps maximize rear passenger space while reducing production costs.

My neighbor drives this car, which has three silver diagonal stripes on the front, looking pretty cool. This brand is the French Citroën, and their cars are known for exceptionally stable chassis tuning, providing solid handling around corners. Last time I rode in their C5 on the highway, the sound insulation was impressive, with almost no tire noise inside the cabin. That logo was actually designed back in the 1920s, inspired by gear teeth shapes to represent a sense of mechanical precision. The newer models commonly seen on the road now, like the C5 Aircross and C5 X, all feature this emblem, with the taillight designs echoing the three stripes motif.

Last time the mechanic at the repair shop chatted with me about the three-chevron logo, which is Citroën's iconic design. Their approach to car manufacturing is quite unique - vehicles with hydraulic suspension systems ride like boats with that characteristic sway. Even the older C6 models didn't bump when going over speed bumps in the back seat. The logo has evolved several times, but the three diagonal chevron elements have remained largely unchanged since 1919, making it older than many German car logos. Nowadays when you spot this logo on SUVs on the street, it's mostly the C5 Aircross models with their quite fuel-efficient 1.6T engines.

There's a silver Citroën parked downstairs all year round, with those three diagonal slashes on the front fascia reflecting sunlight particularly conspicuously. The designers of this French brand think outside the box – the steering wheel's center remains stationary while only the outer ring turns, which felt really awkward when I first drove it. The logo actually resembles two inverted V's overlapping, representing the herringbone gear patent invented by founder André Citroën. On newer models like the C5 X, the logo has been flattened and integrated with the full-width daytime running lights.
