Model:Hyundai Veloster Turbo
Starting Price: $26,249
Overview: Hyundai’s new hot hatch amounts to a turbocharged variant of the Veloster, and the resulting Veloster Turbo model comes just one way: loaded to the nines. For $26,249, you get four seats, three doors, six gears, a deep cargo hold, and 201 turbocharged ponies attacking the front wheels.
Moreover, you get features. All of them. Push button start? Navigation? Panoramic sunroof? Backup camera? Leather? Check, check, and check. Household power outlet? Infinity stereo? Full multimedia connectivity? Ditto.
Light and rich with torque, output from the 1.6L turbo engine goes a long way to whisk the Veloster Turbo along in a hurry when drivers hammer down, too.
Pros: You won’t touch this machine when it comes to features-per-dollar in a hot hatch. It’s got everything. Did I mention it’s loaded? Also, it’s decent on fuel and packs unique looks that turn heads. Shopping is easy, since all Veloster Turbo models come with every feature.
Cons: Vague steering, throttle, and clutch feel take away somewhat from the performance experience.
Noteworthy: The Hyundai Veloster Turbo’s engine has a slew of fuel-saving features that give drivers everything they need for good gas mileage. Direct injection, variable cam timing, and all-aluminum construction are all part of the package. Don’t miss the available matte paint finishes, either.
