2025 Hyundai Venue SE vs. Other Trims
Let's compare the Hyundai Venue SE to the other trims in the lineup. To refresh your memory, there are three trims this year: SE, SEL, and Limited.

Engine, Power, and Performance
Engine, power, and performance details for the Hyundai Venue SE will be similar to the rest of the lineup. This SUV shares the same engine among all three models, meaning you get the same performance in the SE as you would in an SEL or Limited.
The engine is a 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder that produces 121 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) and comes standard with Front Wheel Drive (FWD). Across the Venue for this year, you only have FWD, so there will be no optional HTRAC AWD as of now. Many would describe this SUV as reliable and easy to drive without the thrills and frills of other performance-based Hyundais.
Fuel Efficiency
According to the EPA, the 2025 Hyundai Venue SE achieves up to 31 miles per gallon (MPG) combined and 29/32 city/highway. This is impressive for a non-hybrid and is made possible by the lightweight design of this five-seater SUV. The total mileage you can achieve on a full tank is 369 miles, and according to on-road driver feedback, the EPA reports an unofficial fuel economy rating of up to 37.6 miles per gallon.
Savings-wise, compared to the average new vehicle, the Hyundai Venue will save you $1,000 in five years. That, along with its lower starting price, makes it both a fuel and price-friendly option for anyone in the compact SUV market.
2025 Hyundai Venue SE Safety Features
Safety is always a priority with Hyundai. The same goes for the 2025 Venue SE and its standard SmartSense safety suite. Like any new Hyundai this year, the Hyundai Venue SE comes standard with the SmartSense driver-assistance package. You will see more bells and whistles as you move up to the Limited Venue, but the SE still offers incredible value.
Here are some safety features to make note of:
- 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)
- Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
Hyundai SmartSense
SmartSense is Hyundai's award-winning driver-assistance safety suite, available in all new cars, trucks, and SUVs produced by the auto giant. The Hyundai Venue SE features several SmartSense technologies, making it a safe option for drivers and passengers on the road ahead. Even better, you get expanded SmartSense in the SEL and Limited, so safety is a perk across all three trims. According to the IIHS, the Hyundai Venue receives high safety test ratings in crashworthiness and readiness, and the NHTSA awards it 4 out of 5 stars.
2025 Hyundai Venue SE Warranty
As a Hyundai Venue SE shopper and driver, your warranty is generous, as Hyundai is known for its long-lasting vehicle coverage.
We will break down your warranty options below:
- 5 years/60,000 miles - New Vehicle Limited
- 10 years/100,000 miles - Powertrain Limited
- 7 years/unlimited miles - Anti-perforation

Reliability and Driving Experience

Power, you have an overall score of 80/100 for the Venue and an impressive 86/100 in user-reported reliability on the road. This outpaces much of the Hyundai Venue's competition and should be a clear sign that even though the Venue SE is affordable, it doesn't lack comfort and quality.
Technology and Connectivity
Another category we want to cover with the 2025 Hyundai Venue SE is technology and connectivity. Because this SUV is an entry-level trim, you won't find as large of a touchscreen as in other options from the brand, but it is still more than capable of handling long and short-distance travel and commuting.
Here are some infotainment features to remember:
- 8.0-inch touchscreen display
- HD Radioâ„¢ and SiriusXM
- Android Auto™ & Apple CarPlay®
- Dual USB charge ports

Why Choose the 2025 Hyundai Venue SE?
The Hyundai Venue and Venue SE trim are great options for anyone in the market for a sporty, compact, and affordable vehicle in 2025. Hyundai has consistently offered great pricing and overall features in its cars, trucks, and SUVs, but the Venue remains one of its best bets for around $20,000. It is safe, easy to drive, and has nice comfort features at a base level, all tailored to fit your everyday life on the road. The 2025 Venue is a carryover model from last year, but that doesn't mean it is not worth a second glance. If you're looking for a reliable option that won't break the bank, this is the perfect solution.
