Front wipers for most Hyundai Veloster models are typically 26 inches on the driver’s side and 18 inches on the passenger side. Exact sizes can vary by year and trim, so verify via your owner’s manual or an OEM parts lookup to be sure.
Determining the correct size for your Veloster
Veloster generations have used different blade lengths, so it’s important to confirm the exact dimensions for your specific year and configuration.
To ensure you pick the right blade, follow these steps:
- Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual or Hyundai’s official parts catalog for your exact year and trim to confirm blade lengths.
- Inspect your current wiper blades for length markings or packaging information that indicate size.
- Check the driver’s side door jamb or the inside of the fuel door area for a small sticker listing maintenance items, including blade size if present.
- If the blade length isn’t obvious, measure the blade from the mounting point to the tip when it’s in the parked position.
- When in doubt, ask a dealer or auto parts retailer to verify using your VIN and model year.
Following these steps will help you purchase blades that fit correctly. As a quick reference, many Veloster models use a 26-inch driver-side blade and an 18-inch passenger-side blade, but always confirm for your specific year.
Blade types and buying considerations
Beyond length, consider the blade design and seasonal needs. While conventional frame blades are common, some Veloster owners prefer beam or hybrid designs for better contact and durability.
Model-year nuances
Different Veloster years and trims may favor different blade designs or connector styles. If you’re replacing blades for a specific year, verify compatibility not just by length but by the mounting adapter type.
Noting these nuances helps you avoid ordering the wrong kit or adapters, especially if you’re purchasing from third-party retailers.
- Conventional frame blades: the traditional design, widely available and typically affordable.
- Beam blades: a single-piece design that often provides smoother contact and improved aerodynamics.
- Hybrid blades: combine features of frame and beam for balance of performance and price.
- Winter/snow blades: designed for cold conditions where ice and snow can impede visibility.
Choosing the right blade type can enhance performance, but ensure the size and connector style match your Veloster’s year and trim to guarantee a proper fit.
Summary
For most Hyundai Veloster models, the typical replacement size is a 26-inch driver-side blade and an 18-inch passenger-side blade. Always confirm with the owner’s manual or a VIN-specific parts lookup to ensure the exact lengths and connector types for your year and trim. When in doubt, consulting a Hyundai dealer or a trusted auto parts retailer can help you get a precise match and avoid ordering the wrong blades.
