About this generation

The second-generation Hyundai Veloster (JS) was produced from 2018 to 2022, introducing multi-link rear suspension and the high-output Veloster N.

The second-generation Hyundai Veloster (JS platform) premiered at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2018. Retaining its signature asymmetrical 1+2 door arrangement, the JS brought sleeker Sensuous Sportiness design elements and shifted its A-pillars rearward. Crucially, all trims adopted an independent multi-link rear suspension.

Engines included a 2.0-liter Nu (147 hp), a 1.6-liter Turbo GDI (201 hp), and the range-topping 2.0-liter T-GDI N Performance engine generating up to 275 hp in the Veloster N. Gearbox offerings encompassed 6-speed manuals, 7-speed DCTs, and an 8-speed wet N DCT for the N trim.
