The 2021 Veloster suffers from a mild case of bipolar when it comes to the way it performs. You're going to have to choose between sedate and lively, and we know which one we'd rather have. With the introduction of the second-generation car, Hyundai introduced a new 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine which replaced the hopelessly underpowered 1.6 engine. This has made drivability better, but it's still a long way away from being a thrilling driving experience. At least it performs well in the city and offers reasonable gas mileage. On the other hand, the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-pot offers spicy performance that easily places it in warm hatch territory alongside the Honda Civic Si. The turbocharged models deliver energetic performance both on city streets and on the highway. There's lots of low down torque on offer making quick maneuvers stress free. And, with 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, the chassis and suspension setup can be tested thoroughly. Turbo models equipped with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission have been independently verified and recorded a 0-60 mph time of six seconds. Power is sent to the front via a choice of a further two transmission choices: a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. Rivals like the Mazda 3 and Subaru Impreza, however, offer both front- and all-wheel-drive alternatives.2021 Veloster Performance Photos

The Veloster lineup starts with a mild 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine. This engine isn't tuned for high performance as you'd find in the 2.0-liter Honda S2000s of old but offers dependable performance. This engine replaces the 1.6-liter unit from the first-generation model and delivers 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. Without forced induction, this engine requires you to keep the revs high if any progress is to be made. It can be equipped with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic (the latter standard on the 2.0 Premium), neither of which truly stands out. If it's performance you're after, the turbocharged 1.6 engine should be the only one to go for as this four-pot delivers 201 hp and 195 lb-ft, with power spread out over a wide rev range. This engine is very entertaining and is a major reason why the Veloster is such a fun car to drive. Turbo R-Spec models ship with a six-speed manual gearbox with a B&M Racing sport shifter, while the Turbo and Turbo Ultimate use a snappy seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.2021 Hyundai Veloster Performance Specs
