Used 2019 Hyundai Veloster for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2019 Hyundai Veloster cost?

Prices have softened 7.44% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 163 listings available, which gives you a modest pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster a good car?

Yes — 5/5 from owners, and the expert rating is 8.00/10. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Safety.

The 2019 Veloster stands out because it takes a different approach from Hyundai’s more conventional cars, with a unique hatchback-meets-coupe shape and an unusual 3-door layout. That design helps create a sporty daily driver that is both fun and functional, and the model was completely redesigned for 2019.

The market also shows 31.3% good or great deals, which suggests you can still find attractive pricing if you shop carefully.

Is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2019 Veloster is presented as a practical, sensible daily driver with a strong blend of usability and driving enjoyment. Its standard equipment and straightforward cabin layout support that impression, while the expert evaluation also points to a well-rounded package rather than a one-note performance car.

The standard 2.0-liter engine is naturally aspirated, which keeps the powertrain simple compared with the turbocharged versions. The first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which is a nice ownership perk if you’re comparing used examples.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the specific car you choose has been maintained well and hasn’t picked up hidden damage or wear from prior incidents.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Hyundai Veloster?

At 60.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had bodywork or shows uneven panel gaps, tire wear, or interior wear that doesn’t match the mileage. Focus on condition, equipment operation, and signs that the car has been used hard, since the Veloster’s sporty character can attract enthusiastic drivers.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 2.0 trim comes quite well equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, heated power-folding side mirrors, a rear spoiler, and a lower rear diffuser. It also includes a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a reversing camera, and a four-seat layout, while the 2.0 Premium adds 18-inch wheels, a wide sunroof, heated front seats, automatic temperature control, wireless charging, voice recognition, push-button start, an Infinity sound system, and an 8-inch touchscreen.
• Powertrain: The standard engine is a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter 4-cylinder with 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. Turbo trims use a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four with 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, while the Veloster N is a separate high-performance variant with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine making at least 250 hp, or 275 hp in its stronger version.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes front- and side-impact airbags, a reversing camera, tire-pressure monitoring, a driver’s-side blind-spot mirror, forward-collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, and driver-attention warning. The 2.0 Premium, Turbo, and Turbo Ultimate replace the blind-spot mirror with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, and the Turbo Ultimate adds upgraded forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian detection.
• Infotainment: The base car uses a 7-inch color touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 2.0 Premium and Turbo Ultimate add wireless charging, and the Turbo Ultimate also gets navigation, HD Radio, and a head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0 with the 7-speed automatic returns 27 mpg city, 34 highway, 30 combined, while the manual returns 25 city, 33 highway, 28 combined. The Turbo with the 7-speed DCT returns 28 mpg city, 34 highway, 30 combined.

Which 2019 Hyundai Veloster trim should I buy?

The 2019 Hyundai Veloster is offered in 5 trim levels: 2.0, 2.0 Premium, Turbo R-Spec, Turbo, and Turbo Ultimate.

Here's the short version:

• 2.0: This is the value play if you want the Veloster’s distinctive design and core tech without stretching the budget. It already gives you the 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, a reversing camera, and a solid list of standard safety features.
• 2.0 Premium: This trim is the best fit if you want a more comfortable and better-equipped daily driver. It adds the larger 8-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, automatic temperature control, wireless charging, push-button start, and an Infinity sound system, making it the most balanced upgrade.
• Turbo R-Spec: This is the least expensive way to get the turbocharged engine, and it leans into enthusiast appeal with unique R-Spec seats, alloy racing pedals, a B&M Racing sport shifter, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer performance tires. It gives up some comfort features, so it suits you best if driving feel matters more than convenience.
• Turbo: This trim restores much of the comfort equipment from the 2.0 Premium while adding the turbo engine, turn signals integrated into the side mirrors, a perforated-leather-wrapped steering wheel, and power lumbar support for the driver’s seat. It’s a strong middle ground if you want more performance without going all the way to the top trim.
• Turbo Ultimate: This is the most feature-rich version, with rain-sensing wipers, a two-tone black roof, full-leather seating, navigation, HD Radio, a head-up display, and adaptive cruise control when paired with the automatic transmission. It makes the most sense if you want the most complete Veloster experience.

The 2.0 Premium and higher trims replace the driver’s-side blind-spot mirror with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, while the Turbo Ultimate adds the upgraded forward-collision avoidance system with pedestrian detection.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Hyundai Veloster?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage but still need to move quickly on the best examples.

• Deal availability: 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 163 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.44% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,702, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster's resale value?

The current average of $12,134 sits slightly below last year's $13,110.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim choice rather than just model-year desirability.

Because the Veloster has a distinctive design and a strong enthusiast angle, well-kept examples should remain easier to market than neglected ones. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Hyundai Veloster safe?

The 2019 Hyundai Veloster earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety features include a full array of front- and side-impact airbags, a reversing camera, tire-pressure monitoring, a driver’s-side blind-spot mirror, forward-collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, and driver-attention warning. The 2.0 Premium, Turbo, and Turbo Ultimate upgrade to blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, and the Turbo Ultimate adds pedestrian detection to its forward-collision avoidance system.

Should I buy a 2019 Hyundai Veloster or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.44% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It was completely redesigned for the 2019 model year, and the expert evaluation highlights its unusual three-door layout and sporty daily-driver character.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned Veloster with its distinctive styling, strong safety score, and lower-than-last-year pricing, the 2019 is the right place to start. If you’re especially price-sensitive, focus on the best-maintained examples in the lower end of the range and be ready to compare trims carefully so you don’t overpay for equipment you won’t use.
