Small inside, even for a subcompact SUV

What's new

No significant changes for 2024
Part of the first Venue generation introduced for 2020

Overview

Part of the reason most carmakers have done away with subcompact cars is that buyers prefer SUVs, even tiny ones. The 2024 Hyundai Venue is one of those SUVs. It's the brand's smallest and least expensive SUV but still provides what most buyers want: a higher seating position than a car and excellent utility. Combine those things with the Venue's long features list, easy drivability and excellent warranty, and you've got an appealing model if you're looking for an inexpensive small crossover that's big on value.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Hyundai Venue SE 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.50 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: The Venue value statement

The Venue's most attractive asset is its value. You simply get a lot of vehicle for your money with this diminutive SUV. The quality of the interior, the driving experience, and the features all echo Hyundai's ethos: We'll give you what you won't get elsewhere for less. The Venue's standard safety features — things like forward collision mitigation and lane departure mitigation — are items you'll find on higher trims or as extra-cost options on many SUVs in this price range. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included as standard. And the Venue comes with the peace of mind of Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Though small and inexpensive, it makes a solid case for itself.

Competitors to consider

There is no shortage of competitors in the Venue's tiny SUV segment. And some of the best come from within the Hyundai/Kia family. They're all slightly bigger and some cost a little more, but we think the Kia Soul, Hyundai Kona and Nissan Kicks are all worth a look.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Average

7.4

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the Venue drive? From behind the wheel, the Venue is perfectly adequate across the board. You'll have no issue commuting, running errands, or taking a cruise to the beach or lake. Acceleration is about average for this class, which is not fast by most accounts. At our test track, the Venue needed 9.4 seconds to get up to 60 mph.

But it's good where it counts for a small city runabout, responding quickly right off the line, with its CVT automatic and easy brakes providing a pretty smooth driving experience overall. It's definitely not an athletic SUV, but its small size keeps it nimble and kind of fun to zip around corners.

Comfort

7.0/10

How comfortable is the Venue? You might assume based on its small size and low cost of entry that the Venue lacks comfort. Thankfully that's not the case. It's far from a luxurious experience, but the Venue fares well even compared with some larger rivals in its class. The front seats have a nice balance of cushion and support. The rear bench cushion is a bit flat, but there's a good recline to the backrest. Ride comfort can be tricky to maintain in smaller vehicles, but the Venue won't beat you up even on longer trips.

The climate control is single-zone only, which makes sense given the Venue's size, and we found it sufficient for keeping the cabin cool. There is some wind and road noise at highway speeds, but it's nothing out of the ordinary for this class.

Build & Price

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Venue's interior is practical, and passenger space is better than expected given its short length. It achieves this relative spaciousness through its upright seating. As long as you're not much taller than 6 feet, you should find the Venue relatively accommodating in front and cozy but livable in back. The squared-off doors make it pretty easy to get in and out of.

The simplicity of the Venue keeps it easy to use. The 8-inch infotainment touchscreen is bright, responsive and easy to use. All other controls, buttons and knobs are clearly labeled and arranged logically. Forward and side visibility is pretty good, but your over-the-shoulder view is hampered somewhat by the thick rear roof pillars. The available blind-spot warning system certainly helps alleviate this issue when you're switching lanes.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Venue has just the right amount of technology, and it's easy and straightforward to use. The six-speaker sound system produces surprisingly good sound that's clear and has a nice amount of punch. We also like that the SE and SEL trims come standard with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration — oddly, the top-trim Limited requires you to connect your phone with a USB cord. However, the Venue's advanced driver assist features are the main drawback in this category. You get a decent amount of them as standard but some are a bit oversensitive when they issue warnings, which some drivers might find annoying. It's also worth noting that adaptive cruise is not offered on the Venue in case that's an important feature on your list.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? The Venue is small, so there's only so much you can physically fit inside. We think it makes excellent use of the space it does have, however. There's 18.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats (31.9 cubic feet with rear seats folded), which we found sufficient for everyday use.

The cargo area offers a couple of cool things: an adjustable load floor and a stowable cargo cover. The loading area has a wide opening and low loading height to make it easy to get things in. Up front, there's a sufficient amount of storage space for your personal items. As for child duty, the Venue's car seat anchor points are clearly marked on the seatback and easy to access. But the lack of rear legroom will make it hard to fit a larger rear-facing child safety seat.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Venue's fuel economy at 31 mpg combined (29 city/33 highway), a pretty efficient estimate for this class. But we found it tough to match that in our real-world driving. On our highway-heavy 115-mile evaluation route, we averaged a mere 29 mpg. Perhaps it was due to our need to keep up with the flow of California traffic, but we suspect the EPA figures are a bit optimistic for a Venue roaming in the wild.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Venue a good value? Good value? No. We'd call this an excellent value. The Venue is well built and relatively practical. For what you pay, Hyundai packs in a lot of features. Some vehicles start where the Venue tops out on price and don't have the same amount of tech.

Hyundai's warranty is best in class, with five-year/60,000 bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage. Roadside assistance is provided for five years with no mileage limit, and all Hyundais now come with free scheduled maintenance for three years/36,000 miles.

Wildcard

7.0/10

Is it fun to drive? Not really. The Venue is very utilitarian and that seems to be the core focus. The styling of the Venue is also rather nondescript, blending into the sea of subcompact SUVs. If you want something more distinctive, look elsewhere, at perhaps Mazda's CX-30 or even Kia's Soul or Seltos.

Which Venue does Edmunds recommend?

We like SEL trim's combination of abundant features and reasonable price. Stepping up to this midlevel trim puts 17-inch wheels on the Venue (replacing the 15-inch wheels on the SE) and adds rear disc brakes. Both should help improve the Venue's braking and handling. You'll also get rear cross-traffic warning and blind-spot warning systems, which are significant safety features that can prevent an accident.

Hyundai Venue models

The 2024 Venue is filling the slot in Hyundai's lineup as the brand's most basic crossover. But even at the entry level the Venue is outfitted with a solid array of features. Three trim levels — SE, SEL and Limited — are available and all come with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder good for 121 horsepower and 113 lb-ft of torque. The engine drives the front wheels (all-wheel drive isn't available) through a continuously variable transmission. Keep reading for our rundown of the key standard features you get with each trim.

SE
The base trim level equips the Venue with:

15-inch alloy wheels
Automatic headlights
Power-adjustable exterior mirrors
Remote keyless entry with panic alert
Air conditioning
Tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
Cruise control
Height-adjustable driver's seat
Center storage box with sliding armrest
60/40-split folding rear seatbacks
8-inch touchscreen display

Six-speaker audio system

Several driver assist features are also standard on the Venue:

Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
Driver attention warning (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
Rear seat reminder (alerts you to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle)

SEL
The midlevel SEL expands on SE equipment with:

17-inch alloy wheels
Rear disc brakes (can improve stopping capability)
Snow driving mode (can assist with traction in slippery conditions)
Sunroof
Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
Automatic climate control
Hands-free keyless entry and push-button start
Dual USB ports for second row
Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Yes it’s budget friendly but no it does not feel cheap. All the safety features and the styling are put together so well. It looks like it costs more esp on the SEL and up trims. All the latest features and a sunroof included for $23K is unheard of these days. The engine is dual port injection so there won’t be issues like older Hyundais had with carbon buildup.

Hyundai Venue vs. Kia Soul

Kia's tiny SUV, the Soul, offers fun styling and lively handling for the segment, both of which give it some personality. And it comes with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which is more powerful than the Venue's 1.6-liter mill. That engine hauls the Soul to 60 mph about a second quicker than the Hyundai without a corresponding hit to fuel economy. Like the Venue, it's only offered in front-wheel drive. It is also slightly bigger than the Venue, which affords it more passenger and cargo space. But the best part about Kia's Soul is that it actually has one.

Hyundai Venue vs. Nissan Kicks

Like the Kia Soul, the Nissan Kicks is slightly bigger than the Venue, which gives it a modest utility advantage in everyday use. But is it ever slow. We recorded a 10.7-second 0-60 mph time, which is among the slowest of any vehicle we've tested. Combine that with a rock-hard bench-style rear seat and a noisy cabin and there are some reasons to choose a Venue over the Kicks. Still, the Nissan redeems itself with an abundance of driver assist features and solid tech, which put it back on par with the Venue in those areas. Give it a look if you're not in a hurry.

Compare Hyundai Venue & Nissan Kicks features

Hyundai Venue vs. Hyundai Kona

Hyundai's Kona is the next step above the Venue in the brand's SUV hierarchy. It's more powerful, more expensive and slightly bigger than the Venue. The key differentiator between the two is the Kona's powertrain. Even the Kona's base engine is more powerful than the Venue's tiny powerplant. And the Kona's Limited trim comes with a turbocharged engine. All-wheel drive is available on all trims except the performance version, which is called the Kona N. But don't choose the Kona for more passenger or cargo space. It's just not substantially bigger than the Venue inside. Choose it because you want more power or all-wheel drive, which are genuine advantages.
