2022 Hyundai Veloster N

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Veloster N.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S8)

The 2022 Hyundai Veloster N is catalogued as an AM-S8 automatic variant with EPA ratings of 20/27/22 mpg and a 5.07-qt 0W-30 oil capacity, the core specifications that define its maintenance and efficiency profile for researchers. Reliability records across the 2019–2022 span show the 2022 model generated 24 owner complaints—led by steering and lane departure—and two recalls, situating it between the 2019 peak of 38 complaints and the 2020 floor of two. That middle-position profile indicates a moderate, though not negligible, reliability burden within the nameplate’s tracked history.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 42,000 mi; coolant every 24,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 24,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Veloster N sits in the latter half of a generation whose federal record shows a clear launch-year spike and only partial settling afterward. 2019, the model's debut year, dominates the arc with 38 complaints, 3 recalls, and an unusually heavy 124 TSBs; 2020 then drops sharply to just 2 complaints, 1 recall, and 10 TSBs, before complaints and TSBs both climb again in 2021 (16 complaints, 2 recalls, 22 TSBs) and 2022 (24 complaints, 2 recalls, 26 TSBs). Recalls have remained modest throughout this generation and no federal investigations were opened in any model year on file. Within 2022 specifically, the complaint picture is heavily concentrated in steering and lane-departure behavior, which together account for 16 of the year's 24 complaints, while the record shows zero crash- and zero fire-related filings for the model year; the underlying root cause of the steering/lane-departure cluster is not specified in the data. Because 2022 trends worse than 2020-2021 but still sits well below the 2019 launch-year peak, a used 2022 Veloster N is a defensible buy as long as you confirm open recall completion and have the steering and lane-departure systems inspected before purchase.
