2023 Hyundai Venue Features and Specs

Although small in size, the 2023 Hyundai Venue is the perfect crossover SUV for anyone in the market. The Hyundai Venue feels fast enough for everyday driving with a 121-horsepower four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive, and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Moreover, this model boasts ample cabin space, plenty of driver-assist technology, and a fun design.

In this article, we'll dive into the details of the 2023 Hyundai Venue and dissect some key specs and features. Let's begin!

What's New For 2023?

Regarding the changes made to the Hyundai Venue in 2023, drivers can expect a few upgrades/additions. Most notably, Hyundai added a rear-seat alert to remind drivers of passengers or items left in the back seat after parking. For parents or caretakers, this is a big deal.

The 2023 Hyundai Venue also boasts a new center console armrest that now comes standard. You also get a larger digital screen in the instrument cluster that has been enlarged to 4.2 inches and is now rendered in color. Limited trims will see a wireless smartphone charging pad. Technology was obviously a top priority for the 2023 Venue, which drivers have received well.

2023 Hyundai Venue Interior

Moving inside the 2023 Hyundai Venue, this SUV boasts a larger cabin, with front and back seats giving passengers plenty of legroom. The design isn't flashy, but the interior looks well-made and has an upgraded infotainment system. As we said, the digital screen in the instrument cluster has been enlarged to 4.2 inches, making it easier to read and navigate.

You'll find a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob in the SEL trim as standard features. Optional but standard in the Limited trim are heated front seats and a passive entry system with push-button start. However, it's worth noting that this model does not include certain things like dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display, and power-adjustable front seats.

Cargo space is also impressive in the 2023 Hyundai Venue. With the convenience of 60/40 split-folding rear seats, you'll have roughly 19 cubic feet of cargo space, turning into 32 cubic feet when you fold them down. Again, this is great for a vehicle only measuring 159 incheslong.

Exterior Design

Moving to the outside of the 2023 Hyundai Venue, this compact SUV has plenty of features worth jotting down. First, the body of the Venue has a sportier look than some others in its class, boasting an almost boxy appearance. LED daytime running lights come standard on Limited Venues, while SE and SEL trims have standard projector halogen.

Moreover, the Venue's exterior features standard automatic headlights, high beam assist, body-colored bumpers, and roof rails for SEL and Limited trims. This SUV is fun, compact, and ready for city and rural driving.

Here are the dimensions for the 2023 Venue:

• Wheelbase: 99.2 inches
• Length: 159.1 inches
• Width without mirrors: 69.7 inches
• Height: 61.6 inches
• Minimum ground clearance: 6.69 inches

These dimensions are the same across all trim levels for the 2023 model year.

Performance And Powertrain

Regarding its performance, the 2023 Hyundai Venue isn't a race car by any means, but it does offer nice handling. It should be great for everyday commuting and long-distance driving. The Venue features a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive, delivering 121 horsepower.

Compared to the previous model year (a base Smartstream 1.6-liter engine), this is similar, delivering the same horsepower and torque.

You are getting front-wheel-drive standard for 2023, making this an excellent option for on-road driving. The Venue has never been considered an off-road capable SUV, so keep that in mind.

Safety And Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is a top priority for the Hyundai Venue in 2023 and beyond. Inside this compact model, drivers and passengers will enjoy the standard Hyundai SmartSense, a comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance features.

This includes helpful tools like blind spot collision warning, lane-keeping assist, and rear cross-traffic collision warning.

Additional safety features for this vehicle include:

• Airbags: Driver and passenger airbags, as well as side-impact airbags.
• ABS: Standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to prevent skidding and maintain control during emergency braking situations.
• Electronic Stability Control: Used to stabilize the vehicle on slippery or uneven roads.
• Child Safety Locks: Prevents little ones from opening them while the car is in motion.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System: Monitors the pressure in all four tires and alerts the driver when it falls below a safe level.

So, you can see the 2023 Venue boasts many safeguards and features to keep everyone inside safe. One of the more impressive specs is the standard ABS, which will keep the vehicle in control in the event of emergency braking. The child safety locks are also perfect for young ones or even older passengers while the car is in motion.

Infotainment And Connectivity

The infotainment system and connectivity inside the 2023 Venue are impressive, even at the base trim level. Inside your SUV, you can expect a slew of tech features, including an 8-inch display audio touchscreen system and rearview monitor.

Some other notable tech features inside the Venue include:

• AM/FM stereo: Standard
• Six total speakers: Standard
• Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay: Standard
• USB connection: Standard
• Auxiliary audio input and USB with external media control: Standard

For an entry-level-priced vehicle, the technology inside the 2023 Venue feels advanced, with many drivers complementing the larger eight-inch screen specifically. Even luxury SUVs will have one around 10-12 inches, so this is a small difference for your ~$20,000 car.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also in nearly every new car on the road, so that stays the same inside all trims of the 2023 Venue. As mentioned earlier, the Limited trim will see wireless smartphone charging, so that's a great incentive to upgrade.

Fuel Economy And MPG

When it comes to fuel economy, we're happy with the 2023 Venue performance. Per the EPA, a 2023 Venue MPG is 29 miles per gallon in the city and 33 on the highway. That comes out to a combined MPG of 31 for this compact SUV model.

Moreover, it's estimated this vehicle will use 3.2 gals/ 100 miles, saving drivers money at the pump for longer-distance trips. Now, this vehicle is not a hybrid, so you rely solely on fuel to power the 2023 Hyundai Venue.

It's also worth noting there was no change in fuel ratings between the 2022 Venue and 2023 models. Therefore, even shopping for a pre-owned SUV could be worth it.

Hyundai Venue Trim Levels And Pricing

With specs and features out of the way, let's dive into what each trim level will look like for the 2023 Hyundai Venue. This starts with the least expensive SE trim and works up to the 'premium' Limited level.

With even the fanciest version of Venue under $25,000, this compact SUV is one of the most competitively priced in the sector.

SE

The SE is your base trim for the 2023 Venue, costing $19,650. This will be your entry-level Venue, with fewer bells and whistles than the SEL and Limited models. However, it still features many of the 2023 upgrades and has received positive feedback from critics and drivers.

SEL

The SEL trim is the middle-ground for Hyundai Venue shoppers, boasting a nicer interior and more features for a comfortable $21,400. Again, for a compact SUV, the SEL remains one of the most affordable options on the market, and it could be an excellent step up from the SE.

Limited

The Limited trim level for the 2023 Hyundai Venue is your nicest, 'premium' version. You can expect to spend $22,900 for a Limited Venue SUV, just $1,500 more than the SEL trim level. Inside this SUV, drivers get an 8-inch color touchscreen with navigation, LED headlights, LED taillights, heated front seats, leatherette combination seats, and more, so it's worth it.
