Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2018 Veloster.
The 2018 Hyundai Veloster sits within the 2012–2022 model run tracked in owner-reported complaint data, a span that peaks with the 2013 model at 419 complaints and bottoms out with the 2022 model at just 9. That distribution places the 2018 model in the latter half of the generation, well past the highest-volume reporting year and toward the more settled end of the timeline. For researchers, this positioning signals a phase where reported issues had tapered from the early-run peak, though the model still predates the final-year lows.
