"When Hyundai launched its new Veloster, many buyers were happy with it for three reasons:   The Veloster&amp;#039;s $17,450-plus-shipping base price A 3-door body style on a quirky-but-distinct exterior design 29 city/40 highway EPA mileage in a time of soaring fuel prices  Video window may take a few moments to load...          According to Hyundai, they are selling all the all the Velosters they can get...and wish they could get more in to sell.   That said, the Veloster is, however, simply too slow for many potential buyers, suffering from a 0-60 time somewhere around the 9 second mark. And this is where the turbo engine comes in to save the day. It&amp;#039;s the same one we first saw at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, and will run you an extra $4500.        2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo    The Specs   Main point of interest is the 1.6-liter direct-injected four with 201 bhp (versus the normal model&amp;#039;s 138) and 195 lb-ft of torque (up from 123). And that&amp;#039;s on regular gas. The turbo is a twin-scroll that has the turbine housing as a part of the lightweight stainless steel exhaust manifold. The turbo&amp;#039;s wastegate is motor driven to more tightly control boost pressure. Max boost is 18 psi.        2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo    Now the Veloster&amp;#039;s acceleration more closely matches the car&amp;#039;s moniker. We&amp;#039;re guessing about 6.5 sec 0-60, in the same ballpark as competition like VW&amp;#039;s Beetle Turbo, GTI and the Honda Civic Si. Just as important, the Veloster feels right for its image. No more wading through the gearbox to gain momentum. That gearbox, by the way, could be a 6-speed manual or automatic, the latter with paddle shifters.   What Else?   The added cost for the turbo includes any number of features from leather seating surfaces to LED headlamps to a designer headliner to electroluminescent gauges to specific 18-in. alloy wheels.        2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo    Missing is the usual line about &amp;quot;stiffer springs and shocks to go with the added power.&amp;quot; Hyundai was happy enough with the settings of the McPherson strut front/V-torsion beam rear designs, right down to their anti-roll bars&amp;#039; stiffness, so there&amp;#039;s no change non-turbo to turbo. There is, however, a faster ratio in the electric power steering.   Despite its added horsepower, the Turbo Veloster still gets admirable fuel mileage. The manual transmission version is rated at 26 mpg city/38 mpg highway and the automatic at 25 mpg city/34 mpg highway.        2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo    For some that still won&amp;#039;t be enough thanks to one fact: the Veloster&amp;#039;s polarizing exterior design. With the Turbo the car&amp;#039;s appearance gets a bit more aggressive, going to an open maw look to the grille. There&amp;#039;s added detailing along the sills, while at the back a spoiler off the top of the rear decklid gives that angle a more finished-off look. Dual exhausts add a performance touch in back.   Most likely the Veloster will remain an acquired taste for many enthusiasts, but with the added power of the turbo and only a minimal penalty in fuel economy an important barrier for some potential buyers vaporizes.
