Used 2013 Hyundai Veloster for sale 

The 2013 Hyundai Veloster is offered in three trims. They are Base, RE:MIX and Turbo versions. The RE:MIX trim, as the name indicates, is the base Veloster with some additional features like fog lights, projection headlights, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. All the variants come with some standard features like LED running lights, heated mirrors, keyless entry, cruise control, air-conditioning, and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel.

We Recommend

Though the Hyundai Veloster offers several standard features to its lineup, we recommend the new Turbo variant as it packs more power and a better list of features. Bundle that with the Ultimate package that adds rear parking sensors, panoramic sunroof, adaptive headlights, and Hyundai's exceptional navigation system, it makes the best value for money option.

The 2013 Hyundai Veloster possesses two engines. The first is a 1.6-liter inline-four engine that powers the Base and RE:MIX trim that is good for 138 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, while an optional six-speed automatic transmission is available.

The Turbo trim model is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. The Base version reaches 60 mph in 9.5 seconds and a quarter-mile in 17.6 seconds with a top speed of 110 mph, whereas the Turbo variant takes 7.7 seconds to hit 60 mph.

In the competition, the Honda CR-Z and Scion tC are powered by four-cylinder engines with 1.5-liter and 2.5-liter capacity, respectively. While the CR-Z produces 130 horses, the Scion tC puts out 180 horsepower, the highest in the segment. The power of both the engines is delivered to the front wheels only. The Scion tC is the quickest car to make 60 mph, in 7.3 seconds, while the CR-Z needs 8.8 seconds for the same.

The 2013 Hyundai Veloster has limited its power output that adds up in delivering a great fuel economy. With the base variant, we get a mileage of 27 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway, and a combined 31 mpg. It features a fuel tank of 13.2 gallons, sufficient for a hatchback. With full tank capacity, the Hyundai Veloster can run for 356.4 miles in the city and 488.4 miles on the highway.

In the competition, the Honda CR-Z turns out to be the most fuel-efficient car delivering 34 mpg in the combined use while the Scion tC offers the least mileage with just 26 mpg. However, Scion overcomes that by providing the largest fuel tank of 14.5 gallons. Honda settles for a small 10.6 gallons of fuel capacity. In terms of total range, the Veloster outran its competitors.

The 2013 Hyundai Veloster boasts a slick and modern interior that matches its distinctive styling. It features a unique full black interior with blue accenting. It comes optionally with a remote push-button ignition system located underneath the center console. Also, the center console is pretty clean, offering neat technology and infotainment for the passengers. 

The Veloster Turbo comes standard with an electrically assisted speed proportional rack and leather-wrapped power steering that feels smooth and premium. The base variant can be optioned up with cloth/leatherette premium vinyl upholstery. It also offers more room for rear-seat passengers than other Coupes although the legroom may concern large adults. It offers a cargo space of 15.5 cu.-ft, which again is average. 

In comparison, the Scion tC can seat 5 people, while the Honda CR-Z’s cabin is restricted to only 2 people, although it offers the highest cargo space in the segment with 25.1 cu.-ft. The Scion tC offers 14.7 cu.ft of cargo space and the largest rear-seat room for passengers in the segment. Some salient interior features of the Hyundai Veloster include:

• Standard air conditioning

It looks like the Elantra from the front except for the Piano-black grille. The Hyundai Veloster has a total curb weight of 2,584 lbs. It is 166.1 inches long and sports a wheelbase of 104.3 inches. It is 70.5 inches wide, which is pretty good in this segment. While its ground clearance is 5.6 inches, the Hyundai Veloster is 55.1 inches tall.

Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) nor Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has crash-tested the Hyundai Veloster. It now features an all-new Hyundai BlueLink that includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, and vehicle alarm notification. All the variants of the Veloster come equipped with a huge array of safety features like traction control, anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, and six standard airbags. In the deceleration test, the Hyundai Veloster came to a halt from 60 mph in 121 feet. Some other safety specifications include:

• Electronic stability system with traction control
• Automatic crash notification
• BlueLink system
• Remote door unlock
• On-demand roadside assistance
• Front-seat side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags

The 2013 Hyundai Veloster is a car with a distinctive style that offers several standard features to its entire lineup, although its performance isn’t as energizing as its sporty styling. When compared with its rivals, the 2013 Veloster with its base engine feels inadequate in front of Scion tC. Adding to that, the reliability and safety scores are subpar, which makes it an omitting fare.
