2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Unveiled in Chicago with New 7-Speed DCT - Automobile
Hot-hatch fans had themselves a funky alternative to then-heavy hitters like the Subaru WRX and Mazdaspeed3 with the Hyundai Veloster Turbo , which debuted in 2012 following the arrival of the standard Veloster a year prior. The Hyundai Veloster Turbo will receive additional upgrades, including a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a limited-run Rally Edition that builds on the sport-focused R-Spec. Hyundai is aiming to position itself as one of the first automakers to integrate the next generation of infotainment technology, and that will start with the addition of Apple CarPlay in Hyundai products, in concert with its Blue Link system. That isn’t coming to the 2016 Hyundai Veloster just yet, but all Velosters will get hands-free Apple Siri integration with the upgraded Blue Link system. There are no big changes under the hood, where Hyundai still offers a 1. 6-liter inline-four putting out 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque when mated to the standard six-speed manual transmission, or 132 hp and 120 lb-ft with the optional six-speed... The 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo carries on with its 201-hp turbo-four, making 195 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual will remain standard for all turbocharged Veloster models, while a new seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission developed by Hyundai is now available as well.
