What's New for 2020?

With its 2020 revealing, the Hyundai Venue is the smallest crossover SUV. For this reason, the 2020 model year places a heavy emphasis on its namesake of a "compact" crossover. But don't be fooled by its unassuming size; the 2020 Hyundai Venue delivers a big performance in the other critical categories most important to drivers.

2020 Hyundai Venue Interior

With its spacious interior, the 2020 Hyundai Venue illustrates the concept that "big things come in small packages." Its generous interior offers a roomy and comfortable ride quality for both driver and passenger with 18.7 cubic feet behind the backseat. Moreover, the interior design provides a unique appearance throughout the cabin, which you'll first notice on the door panel. The door panel has dark-colored hard plastic materials contrasted by a light, milk-colored armrest.

Some of the other interior features include the following:

  • Smooth, textured dashboard
  • Large passenger-side storage cubbie
  • Heated seats with durable wear characteristics
  • Grey/dark black contrasting stitching seats
  • Contrast crisscross steering wheel stitching

Everything about the Venue's interior exemplifies cleanliness and spaciousness. As a result, it's an example of upscale quality that every crossover should have as a non-negotiable standard. Its cabin stands by one design philosophy: simplicity. For this reason, the Venue offers an intuitive, user-friendly design that makes it easy to learn and navigate, creating a more enjoyable driving experience.

Exterior Design

The 2020 Hyundai Venue stands out with its boxed-off design language. However, the devil is in the details when it comes to its main exterior attributes. Case in point: its unique headlight orientation. It boasts LED headlights and daytime running lamps with blacked-out headlight housing. The lights are meshed with some silver accents that complement the front grille.

Other exterior features include the following:   

  • Functional side air curtains
  • Unique lower front fascia texture design
  • Brushed aluminum silver front grille
  • Bold hood body lines
  • Raised roof rails
  • Machine aluminum 17-inch wheels

One area where the 2020 Hyundai Venue stands out is its stylistic design. This is exemplified in its sleek black trim that wraps around the vehicle's base. It gives the Venue character and personality, which lends it more appeal. Moreover, the Venue boasts a bold belt line that stretches across the body of the vehicle to create a dynamic exterior.

 

Performance and Powertrain

When you open the hood, the 2020 Hyundai Venue reveals its 1.6-liter naturally aspirated inline-four. The result of this engine is 121 horsepower and 113 lb-ft of torque. Moreover, the engine is connected to a CVT transmission (optional manual transmission is available on the lower trims). The Venue also delivers an acceleration rate of 0 to 60 mph in about 8.8 seconds.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Are you concerned about the safety of yourself and your loved ones while on the road? Do driver-assistance features rank highly on your list of essentials when considering a new vehicle? If so, the 2020 Hyundai Venue won't let you down. This subcompact crossover offers the essential safety and driver-assistance attributes to ensure the well-being of its occupants.

For example, here are a few of the safety features of the 2020 Venue:

  • Anti-lock brakes: This safety system (also called ABS brakes) automatically detects if a tire stops rotating under intense braking pressure. It then modulates that brake pressure to enable the tire to return to its regular rotation.
  • Electronic stability control: ESC helps prevent you from losing control of your vehicle due to skidding. When turning sharp corners, performing hard braking, or making quick and jerky maneuvers, the ESC system immediately and automatically triggers the brakes to steer your vehicle in the correct direction.
  • Forward-collision warning: This safety system alerts you of an imminent collision by sensing stopped or slowly moving cars ahead of you. It then uses its combination of advanced lasers, cameras, and radar to scan and monitor the road as you drive.
  • Automated emergency braking: Automatic emergency braking uses sensors to scan for obstacles and obstructions in your vehicle's way. This braking system can monitor for possible accidents and automatically apply braking pressure to avoid a potential collision or, at the very least, minimize the severity of the impact.
  • Driver-attention warning: Driver-attention warning is a safety system that scans your head and eye movements, watching for indications of distractedness or drowsiness. If it detects these qualities, the system notifies you to take corrective action.
  • Lane-departure warning: A lane departure warning system is a mechanism that alerts you if your vehicle starts moving out of its designated lane. The system automatically sends a warning notification if you begin drifting from your lane without using your turn signal.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Connectivity is not only important in our technological world; it's non-negotiable. Consumers are now demanding connectivity as a baseline standard. As a result, the 2020 Hyundai Venue delivers a wide range of impressive tech attributes. These features allow for seamless connectivity, entertaining driving experiences, and improved overall ride quality for passengers.

Some of the features include the following:

  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen monitor
  • User-friendly navigation
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration
  • Intuitive slide screen feature
  • 4-speaker audio system (6 speakers on the SEL and Denim trims)
  • Built-in navigation with live traffic updates (SEL and Denim trims only)

With its straightforward, no-nonsense, to-the-point cabin design, the 2020 Hyundai Venue delivers a well-connected interior. For this reason, it boasts a ride quality that's as comfortable as it is modern. You can enjoy the conveniences of high-end technology for a fraction of the price of a high-end vehicle with the 2020 Hyundai Venue.

 

Fuel Economy and MPG

While the 2020 Hyundai Venue delivers modestly in performance, its stand-out feature is its fuel economy figures. With the auto industry (and the world at large) moving toward sustainability, this feature is becoming increasingly important. The 2020 Hyundai Venue boasts mpg ratings of 30 mpg in the city and 34 on the highway. These figures make this subcompact crossover such a dynamic and versatile vehicle.

2020 Hyundai Venue Trim Levels and Pricing

Now, the question on everybody's mind is: How much does the 2020 Hyundai Venue cost? Relative to other compact SUVs within the same vehicle class, the Venue delivers a bargain price point that will leave your eyes widened and jaw dropped. Let's explore those prices as well as their associated trim levels.

SE

Everything starts with the base SE trim. The SE trim delivers a surprising quality with a 5-passenger seating capacity, 91.9 cu ft of total passenger space, and an upscale cabin design.

For this reason, it remains a wise choice if you're looking for a quality subcompact SUV at a cost-effective price. The 2020 Hyundai Venue SE comes in at a modest cost of only $18,525.

SEL

Next is the SEL trim; this model, with its enhanced interior quality and performance metrics, also offers additional safety features compared to its predecessor. It also receives more charging ports and two extra speakers. As a result, the SEL trim is better, more robust, and an all-around improved unit over the SE trim. The result? It has a price tag of $20,425.

Denim

We reach the top of the 2020 Hyundai Venue trim pecking order with the Denim trim. This model provides everything you'd expect from a top-rated trim package. Some of its key features include an aggressive black grille with chrome accents, a stylistic lip spoiler, fully galvanized steel panels, liftgate rear cargo access, and more.
