Hyundai Veloster 2011-2018 Specifications

The 2011-2018 Hyundai Veloster offers two engine options: a 1.6L Gamma GDI inline-4 engine producing 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque, and a 1.6L Gamma T-GDI turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. The turbocharged engine provides significantly higher performance, with quicker acceleration and improved high-speed stability.

The Veloster comes with three transmission options: a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed EcoShift dual-clutch automatic, and a 6-speed automatic. The manual and dual-clutch options are available with the base engine, while the turbocharged engine is paired with the 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Standard safety features include ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, and dual front airbags. Optional features include a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, and a lane departure warning system. Higher trims also offer advanced safety technologies like forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking.

The 2011-2018 Veloster with the base engine achieves an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, while the turbocharged engine delivers 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. This is competitive with vehicles like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla from the same era.

Hyundai recommends oil changes every 7,500 miles or 6 months, tire rotation every 7,500 miles, and a comprehensive inspection every 15,000 miles. Timing belt replacement is advised at 60,000 miles, and brake fluid should be replaced every 30,000 miles.

Standard features include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera. Higher trims offer leather upholstery, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and an upgraded Infinity audio system. The turbocharged models include sport-tuned suspension and unique exterior styling.

The Veloster offers 15.5 cubic feet of cargo space and seating for four passengers. While it has less cargo space than the Honda Fit, its unique 3-door design provides easier rear-seat access compared to traditional coupes.

The Veloster is not designed for towing and does not have a specified towing capacity. Its payload capacity is approximately 850 lbs, which is sufficient for passengers and light cargo.
