2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo gets 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, still not in UAE yet
Hyundai has updated their 3/4-door Veloster Turbo hatchback with a new gearbox and cabin tech for the Korean market.
The 2015 Veloster now gets a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox to replace the existing 6-speed in the Turbo version. The engine remains the same, with a 1.6-litre turbo 4-cylinder sending 201 hp to the front wheels.
The car also receives some unnoticeable tweaks to the grille, wheels, two-tone seats and gauge cluster. Hyundai has also included a new engine sound equaliser that lets you select from six different engine sounds, clearly an idea lifted from the Renault Clio RS.
There’s no official word on whether the Hyundai Veloster Turbo is coming to the GCC in this form, even after multiple announcements since late 2013 that it is coming soon. For now, the only version available is the naturally-aspirated 1.6-litre version.

Hello Mash, i saw one here in UAE, it was parked and with “Turbo” Badge on it’s backside. it was new design and was dark grey colored, i thought they released it here already, Do you think it’s an import or special order?

Either a test car or a private import likely.
