2024 Hyundai Venue

The 2024 Hyundai Venue is an affordable crossover SUV making waves in the entry-level segment. While it doesn't have all-wheel drive, the Venue offers a spacious interior with standard driver assistance features like lane keep assist and forward collision-avoidance assist.

This four-door, five-seater SUV has impressive cargo and passenger space, so it's an excellent option for families. With a 121 horsepower engine and a myriad of included tech, the 2024 Hyundai Venue is worth a second glance.

We're here to cover this model in-depth, so continue reading!

What's New for 2024?

The 2024 Hyundai Venue has seen few changes since 2023. The SEL trim level saw a few advancements, with second-row USB ports now being standard. Keyless entry and push-button start are now included in the SEL trim of the Venue, features that were previously exclusive to the Limited trim.

The base SE trim stayed almost identical to last year, with the introduction of a six-speaker audio system being the only recent addition. The Hyundai Venue has performed well for the brand, so think of 2024 as more of a "carryover" model year.

However, the Venue SEL got the most attention between the three trims, so if you're interested in the middle-range model, 2024 is perfect for you. The SEL is also the only Venue to get a moonroof, which cuts down on passenger headroom by a bit, but many are happy to make the compromise.

2024 Hyundai Venue Interior

Moving inside the 2024 Hyundai Venue, the interior features across the three models stay pretty cohesive. With the SE having about the same standard features as last year and the SEL and Limited seeing more upgrades, there is a slightly broader selection of spec options available.

Here are some standard features you can expect to find inside your Venue:

• Standard cloth seating (leatherette seats in Limited trim)
• 6-way adjustable driver's seat
• 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob (SEL and Limited)
• 8-inch touchscreen display
• Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®
• Dual USB charge ports
• 4.2-inch TFT gauge display
• Rear View Monitor (RVM) with parking guidance
• Tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel
• Sliding armrest storage box

One other 'bonus' feature of the SEL trim is the standard moonroof, which many drivers appreciate for brightening the interior cabin of their car. Again, the SEL has the most bang for your buck across the board between the three trim levels.

Overall, this vehicle has a simple interior, but it does not feel cheap by any means. The Venue is designed for everyday life, and is easy to maintain and keep clean.

Exterior Design

Moving outside the 2024 Hyundai Venue, this crossover SUV looks the same compared to 2023 Venue. However, this model's sporty and compact design has always been a major selling point, both for solo drivers and families.

The Hyundai Venue features projector halogen headlights for the SE and SEL trims, with the Limited trim upgrading to LED lights. All Venue models include a standard roof-mounted center high-mount stop light. The 2024 model also comes with high beam assist and body-colored bumpers as standard features. The SEL and Limited trims boast a sleek chrome grille, contrasting with the black grille on the base SE trim. Overall, this SUV crossover stands out as sportier in its class and price range.

Performance and Powertrain

Under the hood of the newest-gen Venue, you can expect a 121-horsepower four-cylinder engine. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is the only gearbox, so this remains the same between all three trims. The same goes for front-wheel-drive (FWD), as this model does not offer all-wheel driving capability.

The 2024 Hyundai Venue is perfect for your daily commute and even for longer trips, as it's designed for on-road use with its front-wheel drive (FWD). Plus, with 113 pound-feet of torque, you can expect a smooth and capable ride in most driving conditions. It's a great choice for everyday driving.

The 2024 Venue maintains the same base engine across all its versions, including the SEL and Limited trims, as there is no performance variant available for this model.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The safety and driver assistance features inside the 2024 Hyundai Venue are impressive, even at the standard level. Notably, this model offers the following safety/DA features for all three models: 

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA-Ped) with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
• Driver Attention Warning (DAW
• Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)
• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System (TCS)
• Rear child safety locks
• Advanced dual front airbags (SRS) with Occupant Classification System (OCS)
• Dual front seat-mounted side-impact airbags (SRS)

Hyundai is known to be incredibly safe when producing vehicle and driver assistance tech, so you know you're in safe hands inside the Venue.

It's also worth mentioning that the 2023 Venue received an NHTSA score of four out of five stars, with four stars in the frontal crash and rollover tests and five stars in the side crash test. The 2024 model has yet to be rated.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Moving onto the infotainment and connectivity inside the 2024 Hyundai Venue, this four-door crossover SUV boasts a user-friendly 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The infotainment system offers an easy-to-read menu, allowing drivers and passengers to connect their mobile devices, as well as the multiple charge ports inside the main cabin.

A standout feature in the 2024 Hyundai Venue's infotainment system is wireless device charging available in the Limited trim. Simply place your phone on the charging pad, and it will seamlessly connect and recharge. This convenient and sought-after feature has been a part of the Venue lineup and has become a fan favorite.

Fuel Economy and MPG

Regarding fuel economy for the 2024 Venue, this four-door crossover SUV is a solid option for those wanting to save on gas. This vehicle has an EPA estimate of 31 miles per gallon, with 29 in the city and 33 on the highway.

The 2024 Hyundai Venue boasts impressive fuel efficiency, consuming only 3.2 gallons of gas per 100 miles. While this model isn't available in a hybrid version as of now, meaning no charging or MPG/MPGe benefits, its fuel economy is still noteworthy.

An additional advantage of this compact SUV is its reduced need for frequent refueling compared to larger models like the Santa Fe. In this case, smaller size definitely has its benefits.

Hyundai Venue Trim Levels and Pricing

Moving onto each specific 2024 Hyundai Venue trim, there are some noticeable differences between the SE, SEL, and Limited trims. The Venue SE is the standard trim and is the most affordable.

The next and best choice for 2024 is the SEL, which saw the most changes for this model year. Lastly, the Venue Limited is the crème de la crème of the trio, boasting the most luxurious exterior and interior features.
