The Veloster has standard driver and passenger side airbags combined with three-point seat belts, a combination which is 29% more effective in preventing injury and death than seatbelts alone.

To maximize occupant safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Hyundai Veloster have pretensioners to eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers.

The Veloster has shoulder harnesses for all passengers. Shoulder harnesses are 10% more effective than lap belts in preventing injuries from collisions. Recent studies indicate that lap belts alone may cause as many or more injuries than they prevent.

The Veloster has standard child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors.

The Veloster has standard front seat side-impact airbags and head airbags for both seat rows, which act as a forgiving barrier between the passengers and the door. Combined with high-strength steel door beams this system increases protection from broadside collisions.

Using vehicle speed sensors and seat sensors, smart airbags in the Veloster deploy with different levels of force or don’t deploy at all to help better protect passengers of all sizes in different collisions. Airbags without smart features will always deploy full force.

The Veloster has standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes for quicker stops and controlled steering ability, especially under poor traction conditions.

The Veloster (except N) has a standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, which uses forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn’t react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether.

For much better traction, the Veloster has front-wheel drive. While accelerating, the rear wheels of a rear-wheel vehicle can break loose, causing it to fishtail or even spin and lose control completely. ‘Oversteering’ or spinning in a rear-wheel drive car requires counter-steering, and backing off the gas may not help.

To prevent wheel-spin and loss of control under poor traction conditions, full range traction control is standard on the Hyundai Veloster.

The Veloster has standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which uses the antilock brake hardware along with powerful software and additional sensors to detect the beginning of a skid. ESC then intervenes by automatically applying the brake at one appropriate wheel, preventing a skid. A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study showed that skid control systems reduced single-vehicle car crashes by 30%.

The Hyundai Veloster has Daytime Running Lights to help keep it more visible under all conditions. Canadian government studies show that driving with lights during the day reduces accidents by 11% by making vehicles more conspicuous.

The Veloster (except N)’s lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane.

The Veloster has a standard backup monitor to help drivers see any and all obstacles behind their vehicle.

The Veloster Premium/R-Spec/Turbo’s blind spot warning system uses digital cameras monitored by computer to alert the driver to moving objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them.

To help make backing safer, the Veloster Premium/R-Spec/Turbo’s cross-path warning system uses wide-angle radar in the rear bumper to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions.

The Veloster (except N)’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year.

For better protection of the passenger compartment, the Veloster uses safety cell construction with a three-dimensional high-strength frame that surrounds the passenger compartment. It provides extra impact protection and a sturdy mounting location for door hardware and side impact beams.

The Veloster’s gas tank is mounted inside the frame rails in front of the rear axle to optimally protect the fuel tank in a collision. A gas tank mounted behind the rear axle is more susceptible to rear collisions.

The Veloster Premium/R-Spec/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate/N has a standard Blue Link, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to get turn-by-turn driving directions, remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, help track down your vehicle if it’s stolen or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. Without a GPS response system if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety does 40 MPH moderate front offset crash tests on new cars. In this test, results indicate that the Hyundai Veloster is safe:

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) performs roof strength tests. In that test the Veloster earned the top rating of “Good” because its roof supported over four times the Veloster’s weight before being crushed five inches.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rates the general design of front seat head restraints for their ability to protect front seat occupants from whiplash injuries. The IIHS also performs a dynamic test on those seats with “good” or “acceptable” geometry. In these ratings, the Veloster is safe:

	Veloster
Overall Evaluation	GOOD
Head Restraint Design	GOOD
Distance Below Top of Head	-3 mm
Dynamic Test Rating	GOOD
Seat Design	Pass
Torso Acceleration	10.4 g’s

(Lower numerical results are better in all tests.)

For its top level performance in IIHS driver and passenger-side small overlap frontal, moderate overlap frontal, side impact, roof strength and head restraint tests, with its optional vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention system, with its optional vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention system, and its available headlight’s “Acceptable” rating, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety grants the Veloster the rating of “Top Pick” for 2020, a rating granted to only 30 vehicles tested by the IIHS.

Warranty

The Veloster comes with a full 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car.

The Veloster comes with free roadside assistance for 5 years unlimited miles. Hyundai will send help if you run out of gas, need a jump-start, lock your keys in or need any assistance on the road.

Hyundai’s powertrain warranty fully covers the Veloster 10 years or 100,000 miles long for any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts.

The Veloster’s corrosion warranty is 7 years and unlimited miles long.

Hyundai pays for scheduled maintenance on the Veloster for 3 years and 30,000 miles. Hyundai will pay for oil changes, lubrication and any other required maintenance.

There are 828 Hyundai dealers in the United States, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Veloster’s warranty.

Reliability

For smoother operation, better efficiency and fewer moving parts, the engines in the Veloster have an overhead cam design, rather than an old pushrod design.

To reliably start during all conditions and help handle large electrical loads, the Veloster has a standard 550-amp battery.

A reliable vehicle saves its owner time, money and trouble. Nobody wants to be stranded or have to be without a vehicle while it’s being repaired. Consumer Reports rates the Veloster’s reliability at 70 points.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the Veloster second among compact sporty cars in their 2019 Initial Quality Study.

Fuel Economy and Range

On the EPA test cycle the Veloster gets excellent fuel mileage:

		Veloster
	2.0 4 cyl./6-spd.Manual	25 city/33 hwy
	1.6 turbo 4 cyl./6-spd.Manual	26 city/33 hwy
	2.0 4 cyl./Auto	27 city/34 hwy
	1.6 turbo 4 cyl./Auto	28 city/34 hwy

To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Hyundai Veloster uses regular unleaded gasoline. Premium can cost 20 to 55 cents more per gallon.

The Veloster has 13.2 gallons of fuel, for longer range between fill-ups.

The Veloster has a tether attaching its gas cap, to prevent its loss. If the gas cap isn’t tethered, so it can be left at a gas station if the driver forgets to screw the cap back in.

Environmental Friendliness

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Hyundai Veloster at 3 to 5 out of 10. This means the Veloster produces up to 39 pounds less smog-producing pollutants every 15,000 miles.

Transmission

For more complete vehicle control the Veloster offers optional Shiftronic™, with the available convenience of an automatic transmission and the complete gear control of a manual transmission without the inconvenience of a clutch. Shiftronic™ allows the driver to eliminate unwanted shifts and maximize engine braking by down shifting while cornering.

A six-speed manual is standard on the Hyundai Veloster, with closer gear ratios for better performance and a lower final drive ratio for quieter highway operation, less engine wear and better fuel mileage.

A seven-speed automatic (SMG) is included on the Hyundai Veloster Turbo/R-Spec Turbo/Ultimate, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway.

The Veloster offers an available sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive.

The Hyundai Veloster N manual has a downshift rev synchronizer that automatically raises engine speed to make downshifts perfectly smooth. This keeps the car from lurching during downshifts, preventing loss of control during cornering.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Veloster’s brake rotors are large:

	Veloster	Veloster N
Front Rotors	11 inches	13.6 inches
Rear Rotors	10.3 inches	12.4 inches

The Veloster’s standard front and optional rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading.

The Hyundai Veloster has standard four-wheel disc brakes for better stopping power and improved directional control in poor weather. Drums can heat up and make stops longer.

The Veloster with its standard antilock brakes stops short:

	Veloster
80 to 0 MPH	200 feet	Road and Track
70 to 0 MPH	151 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	110 feet	Motor Trend
60 to 0 MPH (Wet)	123 feet	Consumer Reports

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Veloster has large 215/45R17 standard tires. The Veloster N’s optional tires are larger 235/35R19.

The Veloster 2.0’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall. The Veloster N’s optional tires have a lower 35 series profile.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Veloster 2.0 has standard 17-inch wheels. The Veloster N offers optional 19-inch wheels.

The Hyundai Veloster’s wheels have 5 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength.

The Veloster Premium/R-Spec has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. If a vehicle has no spare tire you are forced to repair the tire and if that fails you will have to call roadside assistance and get towed. Even run-flats can fail if they are sufficiently damaged.

Suspension and Handling

The Hyundai Veloster’s independent front suspension is much lighter than a solid front axle, which allows the Veloster’s wheels to react more quickly and accurately to the road’s surface, improving both ride and handling.

For superior ride and handling, the Hyundai Veloster has fully independent front and rear suspensions. An independent suspension allows the wheels to follow the road at the best angle for gripping the pavement, without compromising ride comfort.

The Veloster has standard front and rear gas-charged shocks for better control over choppy roads.

The Veloster has standard front and rear stabilizer bars, which help keep the Veloster flat and controlled during cornering.

The front and rear suspension of the Veloster uses coil springs which compress more progressively and offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride with less bottoming out.

The Veloster offers an available driver-adjustable suspension system. It allows the driver to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads.

For much better steering response and tighter handling the Veloster has rack and pinion steering, like Formula racecars, instead of a recirculating-ball type.

The Veloster has standard power steering to make quick and controllable low speed maneuvers easy.

The Veloster R-Spec/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate/N has vehicle speed-sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Veloster’s wheelbase is 104.3 5.3 inches long.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Veloster is 61 to 61.5 inches wide in the front and 61.5 to 62 inches wide in the rear.

The Veloster N handles at .97 G’s, of cornering force in a Road and Track skidpad test.

The Veloster N executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver in only 25.2 seconds at .75 average G’s vs. 40 seconds @ .4 average G’s).

For better maneuverability, the Veloster’s turning circle is only 34.8 feet.

Chassis

The Hyundai Veloster may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs only 2701 pounds.

The Veloster is only 166.9 to 167.9 inches long, making the Veloster easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The Veloster is only 70.9 to 71.3 inches wide, making it easier to handle and maneuver in traffic.

The Veloster is only 54.9 inches in height, making the Veloster much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

Unibody construction makes the Veloster’s chassis much stiffer, which contributes to better handling, and enables softer springs to be used for a better ride. Unibody construction’s stiffness also contributes to better durability and less body squeaks and rattles.

For excellent aerodynamics, the Veloster has standard flush composite headlights.

As tested by Car and Driver, the interior of the Veloster N is quiet:

	Veloster
At idle	42 dB
Full-Throttle	81 dB
70 MPH Cruising	73 dB

Passenger Space

Because of its passenger and cargo room, the EPA rates the Veloster a Compact car.

The Veloster has standard seating for 4 passengers.

The Veloster has 89.9 cubic feet of passenger volume.

The Veloster has 38.1 inches of front headroom, 42.6 inches of front legroom, 54.1 inches of front hip room, 56 inches of front shoulder room,

35.9 inches of rear headroom, 34.1 inches of rear legroom, 46.5 inches of rear hip room and 54.3 inches of rear shoulder room,

The front step up height for the Veloster is only 15.2”. The Veloster’s rear step up height is 15.5”.

Cargo Capacity

The Veloster has a large 19.9 cubic feet of trunk volume with its rear seat up. The Veloster has a large 44.5 cubic feet of trunk volume with its rear seat folded.

A low lift-over trunk design makes loading and unloading the Veloster easier. The Veloster’s trunk lift-over height is 32.1 inches.

To allow full utilization of available cargo room, the Veloster’s hatch uses gas strut supported hinges that don’t intrude into the cargo area.

The Veloster’s standard rear seats fold to accommodate long and bulky cargo.

The Veloster’s standard folding rear seats are split to accommodate bulky cargo. A single piece folding rear seat is not as flexible; long cargo and a passenger can’t share the rear seat.

The Veloster’s liftgate lifts up in one piece, completely out of the way of loading and unloading, while sheltering the cargo loading area.

Servicing Ease

A maintenance reminder system is standard on the Veloster to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals based on odometer mileage. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer.

Ergonomics

The Veloster Premium/R-Spec/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate/N Auto has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior.

The engine computer on the Veloster disables the starter while the engine is running. Without this feature the starter can be accidentally engaged while the engine is running, making a grinding noise and possibly damaging the starter and ring gear.

The Veloster’s standard tilting steering column adjusts to different sized drivers and makes entering and exiting easier.

To help each driver find a more comfortable driving position, the Veloster has a telescoping steering wheel. Much better than just a tilt steering wheel or adjustable seat, this allows a short driver to sit further from the steering wheel while maintaining contact with the pedals.

The Veloster Turbo Ultimate has a standard heads-up display that projects speed and other key instrumentation readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road.

The Veloster has a lever hand brake in the console, easy to use while keeping both feet free and not impeding entry and exit.

The Veloster’s standard power windows allow the driver or passenger to lower and raise the windows without leaning over or being distracted.

The Veloster’s standard power windows have a locking feature to keep children in the rear seat from operating them, but the driver can still raise and lower all of them with the lock engaged.

The Veloster’s driver’s power window opens or closes fully with one touch of the switch, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths.

The Veloster’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access.

The Veloster’s standard power locks allow the driver or passenger to lock or unlock all the doors at a touch without leaning over.

The Veloster’s power locks have a lockout prevention feature. When the key is in the passenger compartment and the driver’s door is open, the locks unlock every time you lock them.

The Proximity Key standard on the Veloster Premium/R-Spec/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate/N allows you to unlock the driver’s door, trunk and start the engine all without removing a key from pocket or purse. This eliminates searching for keys before loading groceries, getting in the vehicle in bad weather or making a hurried start to your trip.

The Veloster’s driver power window, power lock and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night.

The Veloster’s standard variable intermittent wipers have an adjustable delay to allow the driver to choose a setting that best clears the windshield during light rain or mist. The Veloster Turbo Ultimate’s standard wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Veloster has a standard rear wiper.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducts detailed tests on headlights for their range both straight ahead and in curves and to be certain they don’t exceed acceptable amounts of glare to oncoming drivers. The Veloster’s available headlights were rated “Acceptable” by the IIHS, the second highest rating.”

The Veloster has a standard automatic headlight on/off feature. When the ignition is on, the headlights automatically turn on at dusk and off after dawn.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the Veloster R-Spec/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams.

The Veloster’s standard side window demisters help clear frost or condensation from the side windows in the winter. Without side window demisters the driver may have to wipe the windows from the outside to gain side vision.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the Veloster has standard extendable sun visors.

The Veloster’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows.

The Veloster has standard power remote mirrors. Without a remote driver side or passenger side mirror the driver will have to roll down the windows and reach across the car to adjust the mirrors.

The Veloster’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility.

The Veloster’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access.

The Veloster Premium/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate has standard heated front seats, which keep the driver and front passenger extremely comfortable in the winter.

The Veloster has a standard center folding armrest for the driver and front passenger. A center armrest helps combat driver fatigue.

The Veloster Premium/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate/N’s standard automatic temperature control maintains the temperature you set, automatically controlling fan speed, vents and temperature to maintain a consistent, comfortable environment.

A built-in pollen filter removes pollen, exhaust fumes and other pollutants from the Veloster’s passenger compartment. This helps prevent lung and/or sinus irritation which can trigger allergies or asthma.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the Veloster Turbo Ultimate has a standard Smart Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic.

To help keep the driver’s hands on the wheel, the Veloster has standard steering wheel controls for the radio.

To direct the driver from any location to a given street address, a GPS navigation system is standard on the Veloster Turbo Ultimate. The Veloster’s navigation system also has a real-time traffic update feature that offers alternative routes to automatically bypass traffic problems. (Service not available in all areas.)

With standard voice command, the Veloster Premium/R-Spec/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate offers the driver hands free control of the radio and the navigation computer by simply speaking.

Bluetooth wireless connectivity is standard on the Veloster, connecting the driver and passenger’s cell phones to the vehicle systems. This allows them to use the vehicle’s stereo and hand controls to place calls safely and easily.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Hyundai Veloster Premium/Turbo/Turbo Ultimate has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console.
