Some say the 2013 Veloster now has a proper engine, an all-new turbocharged 1.6l. This latest engine comes standard with a six-speed manual gearbox or an optional, all new for Hyundai, six-speed sequential gearbox. The turbocharged version with 18 inch allow wheels and more richly adorned interior starts at $25,999. Almost as fun to drive, and not to be forgotten, is the naturally aspirated version starting at $21,109.
