Across all model years, at 57.6% 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, and driver-attention warning
• 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. In my week of mixed driving, I found combined fuel economy of 30.2 mpg.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more listings to compare, which can make it easier to find the right combination of price, condition, and equipment.

The 2015, 2019, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
