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

Across all model years, at 56.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: forward-collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, driver-attention warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian detection
• Infotainment: 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: The Veloster 2.0 with the 7-speed automatic returns 27 mpg city, 34 highway, 30 combined. With the manual transmission, this engine returns 25 mpg city, 33 highway, 28 combined (making it the least efficient configuration). With the 7-speed DCT, fuel economy for the Veloster Turbo is 28 mpg city, 34 highway, 30 combined, and the manual drops mileage just 1 or 2 miles per gallon from that in all three phases.

• 2.0 Premium: adds 18-inch alloy wheels, a wide sunroof, heated front seats, automatic temperature control, a wireless charging pad, voice recognition, push-button start, an Infinity sound system, and a larger 8-inch touchscreen; this is the best-value trim if you want a richer feature set without moving into turbo pricing.
• Turbo R-Spec: the most affordable way to get the turbocharged engine, with unique R-Spec seats, alloy racing pedals, a B&M Racing sport shifter, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer performance tires; it suits you if you want the strongest performance value.
