The Hyundai Veloster is one of the stylish and sporty compact hatchbacks that is very popular. However, Hyundai is seriously planning to challenge the segment leaders because it has updated the Hyundai Veloster to look and feel sportier. More importantly, the ride quality of the 2019 Hyundai Veloster has improved significantly and the hatchback is now poised to attract more customers than before.
Engine Details
The 2019 Hyundai Veloster will come with two engine options, namely gasoline as well as turbo versions. The base model of the gasoline version will be equipped with the 2.0-litre I4 engine that delivers a power of 147 hp and a torque of 132 pound-feet. The gasoline engine will be either paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission system or a 6-speed manual transmission system.
The 2019 Hyundai Veloster turbocharged base model that gets 201 hp power from a 1.6-litre I4 turbocharged engine. The engine delivers a torque of 195 pound-feet. The base R-spec turbo model has a 6-speed manual transmission system while the topmost Ultimate trim-level has a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission system. The turbocharged engine delivers a low-down torque that affects the driving in a positive way.
A rewarding driving experiences
The 2019 Hyundai Veloster has an improved ride quality due to the multi-link rear suspension that makes the car agiler while being driven around tight corners. Moreover, the car’s lighter aluminium steering offers the precision that is required for confident driving. The car feels stiff while driving and the rigidity becomes obvious while driving on low-quality pavement and roads.
Hyundai has placed high hopes on the turbo version of the 2019 Hyundai Veloster. The newly released Hyundai Veloster will be mainly competing with Honda Civic Si and Volkswagen Golf GTI. A test drive of the compact hatch clearly reveals that its driving experience gives it an edge over its rivals. We must not forget that Korean carmaker has already launched the high-performance 2019 Hyundai Veloster N that gets 275 hp.
Clearly, Hyundai is planning to attack its rivals on all fronts. Will the Hyundai Veloster emerge as a leading car in the compact hatchback segment? Please post your opinions in the comment box below.
