Used Hyundai Veloster in Dubai

The Veloster is the odd one out in Hyundai's range, and that is the whole appeal. It has one long door on the driver's side, two shorter doors on the passenger side and a hatch at the back, so it looks like a coupe from the road and works like a hatchback when someone has to get in the back. A used Hyundai Veloster in Dubai is bought by people who want something with a bit of personality at small car money.

Two generations were sold here. The first, from 2012, is what most Hyundai Veloster used Dubai listings are, with a 1.6 litre engine in base or Turbo form. The second, from 2019, is a sharper car with a 2.0 litre base engine, the same 1.6 Turbo, and at the top the Veloster N, a proper hot hatch that Hyundai sold in small numbers. The two share a shape and not much else, so the year on the listing is the first thing to read.

Hyundai Veloster price in UAE and what a used one should cost

The Hyundai Veloster price in UAE listings is set by generation first, then by version, then by the distance and the origin of the car. A second hand Veloster from the first generation with high mileage sits at the bottom of the market, and it is one of the cheapest ways into a car that looks like a coupe. A first generation Turbo sits a step above it. A Hyundai Veloster 2020 or later second generation car with low distance and a GCC history sits near the top, and a Veloster N, when one appears, is priced as the enthusiast's car it is and sells to someone who was already looking for it.

The Hyundai Veloster price in Dubai also moves on where the car came from. A share of the stock is American or Canadian specification, brought in because the car was cheap and common there, and an import in good order is a fine buy at a discount to a GCC car of the same year. The figure in the heading above is the cheapest Veloster listed here this week and moves as cars come and go, so treat it as the floor and read the individual cars for the rest.

Base, Turbo and N: which used Veloster to buy

On the first generation the base car has a 1.6 litre engine that is honest, not quick, with a conventional automatic on most GCC cars and a dual clutch gearbox on some. The Hyundai Veloster Turbo, sold from 2013, is a different proposition: the same 1.6 with a turbocharger, noticeably more power, firmer suspension, bigger wheels, and a body kit. It is the version most buyers here want, and Hyundai Veloster second hand values follow it.

The second generation kept the idea and fixed the car. The base engine grew to 2.0 litres, the Turbo carried on with a seven speed dual clutch gearbox, the cabin caught up with the rest of the range, and the Veloster N arrived with a 2.0 litre turbo, a limited slip differential and a manual gearbox, later joined by an eight speed dual clutch. A Veloster N Line badge on a car listed here refers to the sporty styling pack on the second generation, not the full N, so read the badge carefully. A Hyundai Veloster N is rare on the used market in the UAE and worth travelling for.

The first generation feels its age inside, with a small screen and hard plastics, and the second has the touchscreen, the phone connection and the driver aids a buyer now expects. If the budget allows, hold out for the second.

Three doors, one hatch: living with a Veloster in Dubai

The asymmetric doors turn out to be useful. The rear passenger door is on the kerb side, so a child seat goes in from the pavement and a passenger gets out onto the kerb, not into traffic. The rear seat is tight for adults on a long run and fine for two on a short one, and the hatch and folding seats swallow more than the shape suggests.

What you give up is rear visibility, which is poor through the split glass, and a ride on the Turbo that is firm over Dubai speed bumps. The air conditioning on a GCC car copes with August, the fuel consumption is small car money on the base engine and a little more on the Turbo, and parts are shared with the Elantra and the Accent. Insurance is rated as a hatchback on the base and the Turbo, and higher on the N.

Why buy a used Hyundai Veloster with OneClickDrive

The Veloster is a car where the version and the origin matter more than the year, and the used car Hyundai Veloster listings here carry both. Each one shows the year, the version, the gearbox where the seller has stated it, the specification of origin, the distance and photographs of the actual car, and each names the seller, whether a private owner or a showroom. Your message goes to that seller directly, and no commission is added on either side by OneClickDrive, so the asking figure is the seller's own.

Two lines are worth reading before the photographs: whether the car has already been through an inspection, and whether any warranty is attached, which on a late second generation car can still be the remainder of Hyundai's long factory cover. The estimated monthly EMI under each price is a planning figure, and if you borrow, the application runs through our Emirates NBD arrangement and buyers who meet the bank's eligibility rules usually hear inside 24 hours. When you sell it on later, a private owner lists the car here for resale at no cost and pays no commission.

Where to find a Hyundai Veloster for sale in Dubai and across the UAE

The Hyundai Veloster for sale Dubai stock is small and it moves. It sits with the independent dealers in Al Aweer and Ras Al Khor, who take imports and trade ins in batches, with the general showrooms on Sheikh Zayed Road, and with private owners, who hold the GCC cars with the full books. A used Hyundai Veloster for sale in Dubai from a private owner who bought new from the agency is the one to see first.

Search the whole country before you settle. A Veloster for sale in UAE listings outside Dubai appears here with the emirate shown on each card, and the Sharjah and Abu Dhabi cars are often a private owner's car at a keener price. Every used Hyundai Veloster for sale in UAE that our sellers hold is on one list, and the Hyundai Veloster for sale in UAE market is small enough to read in an evening. Veloster cars sell to people who wanted this shape, so a good used Veloster Dubai wide does not wait long.

If the Veloster turns out to be the wrong car, the cross shops are worth a look. The Hyundai Elantra shares the base engine in a saloon body, the Kia Cerato is the same idea from the sister brand, the Honda Civic is the obvious rival at the money, and for the buyer who wanted the N, the Toyota 86 is the other small car built for driving. The used Hyundai range in Dubai has a page of its own.

What to check on a second hand Hyundai Veloster

Gearbox first, because it is the one expensive thing on the car.

• A Veloster with a dual clutch gearbox should pull away from a standstill without a shudder and shift cleanly at low speed in traffic, and a judder pulling away or a hesitation between first and second is a clutch pack on its way out.
• A conventional automatic should shift through every ratio from cold without a thump.
• Ask which gearbox the car has before you view, and drive it in stop start traffic as well as on the open road. Then the engine.
• The first generation 1.6 and the Turbo both want a service history with regular oil changes, and a car that has been run on long intervals in this heat will tell you with a rattle on a cold start.
• On a Turbo, check that the boost comes in smoothly with no hesitation and that there is no blue smoke on a hard pull.
• On a Veloster N, ask how it was used, because a car that saw a track will have eaten its brakes and tyres.
• Walk around the car with the doors open.
• The long driver's door on a first generation car is heavy and the hinges sag with age, so lift the door and feel for play.
• Check the rear hatch glass seals and the boot floor for water, and on a car with the panoramic roof open and close it twice and look for staining on the headliner.
• Run the air conditioning at idle in the sun. Check the tyres are a matched set.
• Take the chassis number from the Mulkiya and run a history report for accident repair and registered finance, read the service history against the odometer, and confirm whether the car is GCC, American or Canadian specification.
• If the listing does not carry an inspection report, book one at an RTA testing centre or an approved garage before any deposit is paid.

Finance, EMI and buying a used Veloster with no down payment

Banks are comfortable with a Veloster, and a second generation car is well inside any bank's age limit at the end of the term. The estimated EMI under each listing is a planning figure, and the Emirates NBD approval is best in hand before you view, because a good Turbo or a Veloster N does not sit for long. The oldest first generation cars can fall outside the bank's rules on age and are bought for cash.

A dealer may be able to arrange a purchase with no down payment on a selected car through a bank it works with regularly. It is never written on the advert, so ask, and get the terms in writing. A private seller has no such arrangement to offer.

Paperwork to move a Veloster into your name

The RTA transfer needs the original Mulkiya, identification for buyer and seller, an insurance policy already in force in your name and all fines on the car cleared, then the appointment itself. On an imported Veloster confirm the customs file is complete before you agree a price, and call your insurer first, because some will not cover a non GCC car. If the seller still has a loan on the car, which is common on a second generation car, the bank issues a liability letter with the balance, the balance is settled, and a clearance certificate follows before the RTA will move the registration, so ask about it at the first conversation.
