GDI Technology Finally Arrived With Hyundai Veloster Turbo At MIAS 2016

MANILA: Finally, the Philippine Government has given a green signal to the Euro-4 emissions level this year and amidst all the complaints about LTO and traffic, this is the news we have to applaud them for. And what does this signifies? More automobile choices in the country. The Manila International Auto Show 2016 is already in its full swing since today's morning and the Government has chosen a very right time to welcome the GDI technology in its country.
While other automakers have to work hard to match the new norms of Euro-4 emission levels, Hyundai has already had a solution to all the pollution-related issues up its sleeves. The South-Korean automaker has made a very proud entry at the MIAS 2016 with its Hyundai Veloster powered by GDI technology along with its all-new Elantra.
As the name suggests, the new Veloster Turbo carries a turbocharged 1.6-litre direct injection four cylinder engines and this engine mill is good for 204 ponies in addition to the 265 Nm of peak torque. The Filipinos buyers will have the choice of sending power to the front wheels via a six-speed manual or seven-speed DCT.
Hyundai has presented an updated version of the 2015 Veloster and by looking at it, we can certainly state that it has received exterior and interior tweaks. The new Veloster's external modifications are highlighted by a new oversized black hexagonal grille along with the aggressive side sill and redesigned projector headlights as well as round fog lamps. The engine sound is now made more robust by the new two larger free flowing circular pipes paired with the new intake manifold. The brand has given an Intense red body paint along with the new redesigned 18-inch alloy wheels to the new Veloster to make it an eye candy among the crowd.
The interior has also been tweaked to complement its exterior but they are limited to 'Turbo' badging stitched into seatbacks and TFT screens between the speedometer and tachometer. The two-tone interior finish and leather upholstery gives the new Veloster an elegant feel while its third-door and hatchback configuration screams practicality which offers easy access to the 439-litres of cargo space.
The Korean brand has already introduced its new GLX MT variant for the Eon yesterday. Now, with the arrival of Hyundai Veloster Turbo in the country along with the GDI technology, we can expect that the manufacturer will now treat the Filipinos with its extended fleet and the current line-up also may surface with the GDI technology. The brand has officially announced the price of the new Veloster Turbo which is kept at around at PhP 1,548,000.
