The base 2.0 base model is well-equipped with tech features, while the next-up 2.0 Premium adds some luxury features. Both are powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four (147 hp, 132 lb-ft). The next three trims are powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four (201 hp, 195 lb-ft). The Turbo R-Spec adds performance features while keeping it simple. The Turbo adds safety and luxury features to the R-spec trim.

The engine options available with 2019 the Hyundai Veloster will not humiliate a rival on stoplight races, but the powertrain is potent enough. The 2.0-liter engine doles out 147 hp at 6200 rpm and maximum torque of 132 lb-ft at 4500 rpm. Veloster's Gamma 1.6 liter turbocharged, direct-injected four-cylinder produces 201 hp at 6000 rpm and 195 lb-ft of torque.

Powering the front wheels, both engines come with a six-speed manual as standard. The base engine is available with a six-speed automatic, while the turbo engine can be paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Veloster Turbo seven-speed dual-clutch transmission features paddle-shifters to control the gear.

The Veloster produces the highest number of horses with its little 1.6-liter engine and the Civic sport takes the second spot followed by Toyota Corolla and Chevrolet Cruze. Interestingly, the 2019 Ford Fiesta ST offers the most torque, with the Hyundai Veloster and the Chevrolet Cruze following closely.

How fast is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster Hatchback?

The response from the turbocharged engine is energetic and it only takes 6 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill. The curb weight is also very low ranging from 2,701 pounds and rises to only 2,987 lb on Turbo Ultimate.

The Veloster is a clear winner here and no car can match its acceleration as its engine puts the highest amount of horsepower.

Ride and Handling of the 2019 Hyundai Veloster

The turbo engine of the Veloster is athletic and fun to drive with the manual transmission but the automatic transmission is sluggish in downshifts. The audio system amplifies a synthetic engine noise which can be toggled down from pop-and-crackle to mellow and sweet. The 2019 Veloster rides sharp with a stiffer body and independent multi-link setup, replacing the outgoing torsion beam unit in the rear. The front gets a lighter, rigid independent suspension that uses MacPherson struts. Ride quality has improved and it soaks up bumps and undulations very well.

Column-mounted electric rack-and-pinion power steering is tuned to deliver a decent feel and weight. The chassis works well and there is minimal body roll on corners. The steering isn't quick and dead off-center but it is fine.

Braking performance of the 2019 Hyundai Veloster.

The Veloster is equipped with disc brakes in the front and rear, plus ABS. It will come standard with 13.0-inch front and 11.8-inch rear brakes, while upsized 13.6- and 12.4-inch units will be optional. The traction control uses wheel-speed sensors coupled with ESC algorithms to apply precise braking force to the inside front wheel during spirited cornering.

The Veloster scores the shortest stopping distance and the Civic takes the second spot followed by Corolla and Cruze hatchback.

The Veloster uses a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that uses Atkinson-Cycle for high efficiency and lower emissions. Fuel economy estimates range up to 28 miles per gallon in the city and 34 MPG on highways, depending on engine configuration. The 2019 Hyundai Veloster does show an incredible amount of promise in terms of fuel economy and offers quite the competition to its rivals.  

The Honda Civic is the most fuel-efficient here with 33 mpg combined. The Veloster bags the last spot because of its higher power output. The Chevrolet Cruze and Corolla are delivering similar numbers.

The 2019 Hyundai Veloster's interior has been inspired by the Kona, but has risen to new levels of quality. Like the exterior, the asymmetrical design inside the Veloster is driver-focused. A contrasting color scheme separates the Turbo variant from other trims. While the overall feel is fairly plain, the cabin feels extremely cozy and nice to be in. Quality of materials is very high, and the Hatchback feels quite premium for the price you pay to get your hands on one. 

The front seats are quite comfortable and there is a clear division between the driver's and passenger's sides of the front cabin. The second row is tight in legroom and headroom for an average adult. Getting in and out of the Veloster is a chore because of the two-plus-one configuration. We absolutely love the steering wheel, which offers a firm feel and inspires confidence in the driver. 

The Veloster being smaller in dimensions have a spacious cabin just like other rivals. The Civic has the most spacious cabin followed by Corolla and Cruze. While almost all cars in the lot offer to seat up to 5 occupants, Hyundai recommends seating 4 people in the Veloster.

The sharp character lines accentuate body sides for an athletic look with a beetle-like roofline, rounding towards the rear fascia. The back end houses a short back window and squinty LED tail lights. Veloster's centered twin tailpipes under the bumper look pleasant and impart a sporty feel. A contrasting roof is available for the Turbo model as well.
