Test drive : Hyundai Veloster 1.6 turbo Turbo GDI #1


This post is written by the famous korean tuner, named "Crazy tuner"


Hi. today we gonna do test-drive with Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Veloster turbo GDI made it's debut 1 years ago, that is the result of the long wait. Frankly, when it comes to non-turbo Veloster, the insufficient power in comparison with the peculiar appearance was a problem.

Before Veloster turbo, Hyundai Motor released 2.0 liter Turbo GDI engine for Sonata which were favorably reviewed by car mania. Actually, Hyundai sonata has 270 horse power with Turbo GDI. It's hard to find it's competitor even among Germany cars.

Why Veloster become a issue maker?
Veloster turbo has 204 horse power with 1.6 liter twin scroll turbo engine, it is superior to BMW mini cooper S. There was a drag race test of 2 cars a couple of month ago, Hyundai Veloster was slightly slower than MINI Cooper S. Yes. Veloster was slower than MINI S in the test, but we have to think about the weight of these car. Hyundai Veloster weighs 100kg more than MINI Cooper S. If we tested accelerating power of these 2 cars in high speed, Veloster is surely winner.

Veloster options to purchase

1) Dull luster black color, dull lust black color is very fascinating option you can choose. But think about it once more. You really want it? It may hard to maintain.

2) Performance Kit
This is amazing options. Factory (Hyundai TUIX) tuning parts gives a high performance for it's price and more important, you don't need to pay attention for maintenance.

This performance kit are composed of 3 parts. Sports damper and springs, harder Stabilizers. Priced at 800$.

3) Stylish Body Decal Sticker
Priced 200~500$

*3 types of TUIX sport decals are available only for turbo model

4) Carbon side mirror cover
Price : 100$



Now, let's take a look at the real car.

The big difference from the non-turbo Veloster in the front view is Hexagon grill. And 18inch big wheels and silver side skirt gives Veloster aggressive look. When we get back of the car, we will find another big difference from the non-turbo version. It is the rear diffuser and end muffler tip.

And fog lamp design has been changed. The silver front skirt is well matched with front bumper.



People say that Veloster is well designed car, but back side of Veloster take a cake! If you drive a car which has 200 horse power, you may have more chance to show back of your car rather than front to another drivers. In that meaning, the aggressive rear design of Veloster has the important meaning.



Yes. this is Turbo car!
Beautiful body lines, Red LED tail lamps and over fender come together.
