Hyundai Veloster Refresh Surfaces in Korea

The Hyundai Veloster has received an update for the Korean market.

While its not quite a second-generation model, the Veloster received some minor tweaks to its exterior with new wheel options and slightly different trim surrounding its front grille. The major changes can be found in the drivetrain, with the Veloster now equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) replacing the six-speed in the Turbo model. There is still a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque powering the car.

More changes can be found in the interior of the Veloster with a new engine sound equalizer that allows drivers to select from six different engine soundtracks. In addition, the instrument cluster has been updated while the seats now get a new two-tone appearance.

According to the Korean automaker, the refreshed Hyundai Veloster equipped with the seven-speed DCT will be priced from 23.7 million won, which is about $22,000. No word yet if these updates will be coming to the U.S.
