Hyundai Motor se prepara para lanzar un Veloster actualizado con la idea de atraer a los consumidores jóvenes de entre 20 y 30 años. El fabricante puso a la venta oficialmente el «The New Veloster» el 16 de enero en Corea del Sur.
El nuevo Veloster incorpora la primera función de ajuste del sonido del motor del mundo, que permite al conductor regular el nivel de sonido del motor. Mediante el ecualizador de sonido del motor, el conductor puede crear su propia categoría de sonido compuesta por hasta seis sonidos diferentes.
El nuevo Veloster monta un motor turbo gasolina de 1,6 litros (T-GDi) que entrega finalmente 204 CV (en Europa este motor ofrece 186 CV) y un cambio de doble embrague de siete velocidades (DCT), tal como adelantamos en exclusiva hace dos meses. Nuevo diseño de llantas de aleación, velocímetro, un embellecedor plateado para la parrilla delantera y tres colores disponibles para los nuevos asientos deportivos completan la lista de novedades.
Los precios de venta al público en Corea del Sur son de 19,95 millones de wones (18.550 dólares) para el modelo Unique, 20,95 millones de wones (19.480 dólares) para el modelo PYL y 21,55 millones de wones (20.040 dólares) para el modelo PYL DCT.

Looking at Hyundai's Korean website, RPM engine deliver are the same (1750-4000) and torque is 27kg/m that it's the same than 195lb/ft you can see at Veloster Turbo specs page at Hyundai USA. About the suspenssion, they only said that the car comes with sport suspension, but anything about if its tuned from the original.
Yeah but no news on when it will be happening.
We got some spy shots of the new pro_ceed, so it'll happen soon.
LePapirrikY thanks for the update. When Hyundai first launched this car I really wanted it to succeed. But now it seems that they are content to let the production run to its cycle and make no major improvements to Veloster. So unfortunate.
When I saw the concept model I disliked it but when the production model came out i changed my mind. The big problem with the veloster is the engine, the 1.6 was definitely not the right engine for it. If only hyundai gave the 2.0 as n/a and 1.6 for turbo, I believe this model would pick up sale really quick. Of course that would been a "problem" for the Genny but since later the genny got rid of the 2.0 engine, I think it was too late for the veloster because sales were going down already. Hopwfully no but this might be the last production of the Veloster. IMO
