The Hyundai Venue is the South Korean automaker's subcompact crossover SUV offering that was first seen in 2019. The Hyundai Venue has been well accepted by the US buying public and remains one of the most affordable small SUVs currently for sale in the US.
Affordability combined with style, comfort, and nimble handling ensures that this small five-seater SUV gives buyers everything they need for taking on those busy days in the city.
Read on to learn more about the 2024 Hyundai Venue trim levels and all that is in store for prospective buyers.
2024 Hyundai Venue
With not too many changes happening on the 2024 Hyundai Venue lineup, the Venue continues with its standard 121 horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and the sole continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) gearbox taking power to the front wheels only.
A few interior feature upgrades are seen on SEL and Limited models, as well as enhanced audio systems on the base trim.
Hyundai Venue Trim Levels
For the 2024 model year, Hyundai simplifies the buying process by offering three distinct Hyundai Venue trim levels, catering to a range of preferences and needs.
SE
Buying the base model Venue, starting at $19,800 MSRP, does not mean that you forgo any great features. The SE trim goes to town with a comprehensive list of standard features.
Key exterior features on the SE are:
- Automatic Projector-Style Halogen Headlights
- Bulb-Type Tail Lights
- Roof-Mounted Center High-Mount Stop Light
- High Beam Assist
- Heated Body-Color Exterior Mirrors
- Body-Color Bumpers
- Black Front Grill
The base SE has standard front disc brakes with drum brakes at the rear and runs on 15-inch alloy wheels fitted with 185/65R15 tires.
The interior treatments include black cloth seating with a 6-way adjustable driver seat, standard air conditioning, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, a 4.2-inch TFT gauge display, a rearview monitor (RVM) with parking guidance, and a sliding armrest storage box.
No self-respecting city dweller can do without music on the go, and the base Venue offers a standard:
- Eight-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment Display
- HD Radio
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Dual USB Charge Ports
- Bluetooth Hands-Free with Wireless Audio Streaming
- 12-Volt Outlet
Driver and passenger safety is well catered for with the standard fitment across the range of an anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control with traction control, vehicle stability management, a tire pressure monitoring system, and rear child safety locks.
A full suite of airbags is standard to keep everyone on board protected, including advanced dual front airbags with an occupant classification system, dual front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, as well as both front and rear roof-mounted side-curtain airbags with rollover sensors.
Other key safety and driver assistance features include:
- Forward Collision Avoidance Assists with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
- Rear Occupant Alert
The SE trim is available in a choice of seven exterior colors.

 SEL
Moving up to the middle of the 2024 Hyundai Venue trim levels, the SEL at $21,800 MSRP adds to the already well-spec'd base model many more desirable features to enhance the already stylish and athletic driving experience.
This driving experience is enhanced with the now standard fitment of Hyundai's Drive Mode Select, offering normal, sport, and snow modes. Stopping the SEL sees the rear drum setup giving way to standard disc brakes. The SEL rides on 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with 205/55R17 tires.
Exterior enhancements include a chrome front grill, standard roof rails and proximity key entry along with a handy push button start feature.
In the interior, the driver is treated to a steering wheel and shift knob finished in leather and a sunroof. The air conditioning now features dual automatic temperature control, and the driver's power windows are fitted with a front auto-down/up function.
Safety enhancements include blind-spot collision warning and rear cross-traffic collision warning.
Limited
The top tier Limited trim at $23,050 MSRP offers buyers some exclusive touches to further elevate their driving experience.
Available with an exclusive two-tone roof finish and leatherette/ cloth combination upholstery to distinguish this top trim from lesser models, the Limited offers further nice-to-have finishes on the outside, such as:
- LED Headlights
- LED Daytime Running Lights
- LED Tail Lights
- Heated Roof Color Exterior Mirrors
As well as the aforementioned upgraded seat materials, the interior is treated to:
- Heated Front Seats
- 8-Inch Touchscreen Navigation
- SiriusXM
- Wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Wireless Device Charging
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian detection now includes a cyclist detection function.
Choosing the Right Venue Trim For You
Choosing the right Hyundai Venue trim level involves carefully considering your budget, priorities, and the unique features each version offers to ensure you select the best fit for your needs.
Define Your Budget
As an affordable small SUV, the Venue offers great standard features across all three trim levels, but as always with any high-ticket item, it's best to decide what you need in your vehicle to determine your budget.
With a relatively small $3,000 price difference between the SE and top-of-the-range Limited trim, buyers are going to have to closely compare feature for feature and what their budget allows.
Identify Your Priorities
With similar powertrains, all three trims offer very much the same performance and on-road experiences. It's up to buyers to identify what additional features they really need and, as discussed above, what their budget allows.
Research Each Trim Level
Thankfully, those who generally have a hard time making important buying decisions have only three trim levels to research. Don't rush into your purchase without doing some important model research.
Test Drive Different Trim Levels
Over and above conducting your detailed research, the best-informed purchase decisions can be made after test-driving a car.
There is no better way to get a good feel for any vehicle on your shortlist than to get behind the wheel and experience a vehicle for yourself.
Consider Future Resale Value
The Hyundai range of vehicles offers an extremely good value proposition, and their industry-leading warranties ensure their vehicles retain good resale values.
Consult Reviews and Expert Opinions
Further research into your next vehicle purchase should ideally include online reviews from established and reputable automotive sites and publications.
If you're up to it, there's really no harm in stopping to chat with the current owners of your dream car in a parking lot and hearing straight from the horse's mouth what they think about their car.
