Hyundai dealers will get Veloster Turbo coupe models next month when it hits roads on September 24.

The 184bhp turbocharged version of the Veloster 1+2 door coupe will priced at £21,995, a £245 premium over the 1.6 GDi Sport DCT 4dr.

Some dealers have been requesting a faster version of the Veloster since the model was launched in Europe last year in order to help attract previous Coupe owners.

The Veloster Turbo SE is the first vehicle to feature Hyundai’s 1.6-litre T-GDI engine with a high-compression, twin-scroll turbocharger.

Tony Whitehorn, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor UK, said: “The Veloster Turbo SE brings an extra helping of dynamism, excitement and emotional appeal to our refreshed model line-up.

“Its overall package is genuinely strong against other competitors such as the VW Scirocco 1.4TSI and the Astra GTC 1.6i 16v VVT Turbo.”

On the outside the Veloster Turbo SE retains the standard car’s 1+2 door layout but with the addition of front bumper, radiator grille and front fog lights. The rear features a revised bumper, which includes a new fog lamp design plus round twin exhausts and diffuser.
