Hyundai Venue Model Research

 

Like many products and services, the prices of vehicles have skyrocketed in recent months. In fact, as of this writing, the average cost of a vehicle is pegged at around $50,000 USD. With this being the case, it has become more challenging to believe you can purchase a new vehicle at a decent price. But that's exactly what the Hyundai Venue SUV has managed to accomplish! Case in point? Its baseline model comes in at a budget-friendly $21,000!

With such a conservative price point, you may wonder what the catch is regarding Hyundai's latest SUV addition. The answer is: There is no "catch." This economical SUV delivers in all aspects of automotive performance and functionality. For proof of this, let's explore the Hyundai Venue a little further, starting with how it holds up against the competition.

Explore the Hyundai Venue

As Hyundai's smallest sports utility vehicle, the Venue packs a surprising punch into its level of versatility. For such a compact package, it excels at run-of-the-mill tasks and yet retains a comfortable driving experience, even on long excursions. Here's what the Hyundai Venue has to offer.

Modern Safety Features

With its array of safety features, the Hyundai Venue is armed with the latest in automotive protection. And the best part? Many of these attributes come as standard equipment. The Hyundai Venue's safety features include, but are by no means limited, to: 

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: An advanced system, Hyundai Forward Collision-Avoidance, is designed to reduce or avoid the impacts of a forward collision. This system scans the road using a high-resolution camera, alerting motorists (and if required) automatically applying the brakes to prevent potential accidents.
  • Traction Control System: The TCS (Traction Control System) senses any traction loss among your Hyundai's tires. Once it recognizes a wheel losing its roadway grip, the system immediately applies the braking system to that individual tire or it reduces the engine power being delivered to the sliding wheel.
  • High-Beam Assist: A convenient feature for additional safety, High-Beam Assist identifies oncoming traffic during nighttime excursions; it then switches headlights, automatically going between the main and dipped beam.
 

Integrated Technology

The Venue boasts numerous integrated technology features; each attribute aims to enhance convenience, connectivity, and entertainment. Here are a few of the integrated technology features attributed to the Hyundai Venue. 

  • Premium sound system
  • Voice recognition
  • USB ports
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • Infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Smart key and push-button start

This robust list of integrated technology provides the Hyundai Venue with a pleasurable riding experience for both driver and passenger. However, it's important to note that some features will be trim-specific.

Hyundai Venue vs. The Competition

There are numerous rival models in competition with the Hyundai Venue. However, how do they stack up against the Venue's price, features, performance, etc.? Here is a list of the contenders:

Hyundai Venue vs. Ford EcoSport

The Ford EcoSport, while cozy and performance-oriented, cannot compete with the Hyundai Venue's superior price, fuel economy, and feature-laden interior. So value for money undoubtedly goes to the Venue. In mid-2022, the Ford EcoSport was discontinued due to poor sales, which resulted in Ford losing money on the model.

Hyundai Venue vs. Kia Soul

At the outset, the Kia Soul was plagued with problems (many of which were engine issues). These setbacks greatly impacted its ability to go toe-to-toe with the Venue's reliable engine and, as a result, automotive performance. Another drawback of the Kia Soul was its bulky constitution which made it difficult to easily fit in parking spaces. This is in stark contrast to the Hyundai Venue's frugal and conservative structure which enables an easier and care-free parking experience.

Hyundai Venue vs. Nissan Kicks

The Nissan Kicks is a promising SUV that offers an excellent fuel economy rating. However, many have grumbled about its physical appearance. It comes off as "blocky" as it sports a very cookie-cutter design. Conversely, the Hyundai Venue has been said to boast a wholesome look with a much smaller and more modest footprint.

Hyundai Venue vs. Toyota C-HR

When compared to the Toyota C-HR, the Venue retains the upper hand, and in more ways than one. Firstly, the Venue offers a more accommodating cargo space. With its upright, yet angular roofline, more usable space is provided when the second row seats are folded down. Technology is another aspect where the Venue comes out on top. Safety features such as Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning and Blind-Spot Collision Warning come as standard equipment with the Hyundai Venue-on all models (which unfortunately can't be said for the C-HR).

So in the subcompact SUV comparison between the Venue and the C-HR, which should you choose? Without question, the Hyundai Venue! 

 

Interior and Exterior Design

Interior

In defiance of its compact stature, the Venue boasts a spacious cabin relative to its size. The front and rear areas provide a roomy space for passengers with comfortable cushions. Moreover, its well-constructed interior offsets its modest design. A few interior features include:

  • Infotainment system
  • Attractive gauge cluster
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Climate control
  • Passive entry capabilities

The Venue's cabin offers a pleasant experience with its 60/40 split-fold rear seats and cargo room of up to 19 cu ft (goes up to 32 cu ft when the rear seat is folded).

Exterior

Compact and condensed, yet dashing and dignified; the Hyundai Venue sports a gleaming exterior that communicates urbanity. This is demonstrated in its unapologetically stylish appearance. From its wavy curves to its aggressive tire design, the Venue's exterior offers a unique blend of opposites: Bold yet bashful.
