Driving Impression
The Veloster Turbo is exhilarating and fun to drive. It handles like a sports car and the design of the vehicle turns heads as you are driving down the road. The Veloster Turbo holds any road with ease and its suspension is good enough to keep the car composed on winding turns. The brakes are definitive and can stop on a dime. The rear visibility is impaired by the dynamics of the split rear window. One of the criticisms I have for this vehicle is the suspension, which is not forgiving as it goes over any road imperfections.
Under the Hood
Veloster Turbo’s has 1.6-liter four-cylinder that delivers 201 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. I noticed minimal turbo lag at 0-and almost none at the top end.
Below are the stats on the motor.
1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4
201 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
195 lb-ft of torque @ 1,750-4,500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 24/35 mpg (manual), 24/31 mpg (automatic)
Inside
The interior has a space age look with tons of high tech gadgetry. Highlighting the interior is a standard 7-inch touch screen that acts as the command center for audio, telephone cruise control and the easy-to-read navigation system. The front seats are very comfortable and support your body for your drive. The rear seat entry is not meant for large or tall individuals and the space is a little tight for 2 large adults. Rear cargo volume is an impressive 15.5 feet of space and can accommodate a ton of luggage, The back seats fold to accommodate larger items. Turbo versions receive unique accents and leather seating, with the driver’s seat featuring lumbar support.
The Veloster’s offers a single passenger-side-only mini door, which is a great feature so you can let the rear passengers have access without bothering the front seat passengers.
Outside
The exterior design is unique with its low profile, large wheel arches and sloping roof. The Turbo’s unique dual exhaust coming out of the center or the rear end gives it a muscular look. The Turbo has a trapezoidal grille, fog lights and ground effects. Highlighting the Turbo are 18-inch alloys with chrome inserts.
Summary
The 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo is a youthful fun and exciting vehicle. Take a test drive and see for your self if this vehicle is for you!
