Jenny drives the 2020 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Premium in Australia. The Veloster has one of the more unusual body configurations in the market, with a single door on the driver's side and two doors on the passenger side for easier rear-seat access. The Turbo Premium sits at the top of the Veloster range and brings a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 150kW and 265Nm, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The sharp styling is complemented by a well-laid-out interior with an eight-inch touchscreen, leather-accented seats and a Bose sound system. The suspension setup keeps the car composed through corners without making urban driving uncomfortable, and the turbocharged engine provides useful pace from lower in the rev range. A six-speed manual is also available for buyers who prefer more driver involvement.
The Veloster Turbo Premium carves out its own space in the market as a stylish and engaging option for those who want something a little different from the conventional hot hatch formula. Hyundai backs it with a five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty.
