On sale this summer
Hyundai's nifty Veloster sporty hatchback gets a welcome power boost with a 201-horsepower turbocharged model for 2013.
The muscular 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine also produces 195 pound-feet of torque from just 1,750 r.p.m. Six-speed manual and automatic transmissions are available.
With a curb weight starting at just 2,800 pounds, the Veloster turbo's 14 pounds/horsepower is a better power-to-weight ratio than sporty small cars like the Volkswagen GTI and Honda Civic Si, Hyundai said.
The Veloster turbo will offer a unique matte gray paint, 18-inch alloy wheels, projector headlights, LED taillights, fog lights and ground effect trim. Interior changes include leather seats with "Turbo" stitched into the backs and a black interior with blue accents.
Hyundai's Genesis coupe also gets upgrades for 2013. The power of its 2.0-liter turbo and 3.8-liter V6 engines rises to 274 and 348 horsepower, respectively. A new eight-speed automatic transmission is available in addition to a six-speed manual. The Genesis coupe also offers Hyundai's new Blue Link telematics system.
Visual changes include a new grille, LED taillights and daytime running lights.
