Hyundai Veloster N

Where it stands out against its peers

• Structure: more complaints than 97% of 2019 cars — 21% of its 38 complaints, where an ordinary 2019 car has 4%.

Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.

Crash test

Crash-tested by NHTSA, the American road safety agency.

Specification

Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.
