Hyundai Venue 2023

The 121 horsepower four is surprisingly smooth, quiet enough when pushed hard, and fades into the background while cruising. The CVT automatic is well-adapted to the 1.6L four, reconciles acceleration, fuel economy and refinement very well. The Sport mode of the CVT enlivens performance but is a bit too “sporty” to endure for more than a few minutes of fun.
The Venue’s steering is not the last word in road feel, but it is quickly geared, nicely-weighted and holds its line well enough on the highway. The ride-handling balance is quite acceptable for a car in this segment. The Venue’s structure feels very stout, which may make the ride feel better as there is no flex in the structure.

Although marketed as a crossover, the Venue, lacking all-wheel drive, is just a tall hatchback. The sole engine offered is a 121 horsepower 1.6L four. The sole transmission on offer is a CVT. It appears Accent intenders were diverted by the crossover looks of the Venue and were happy to pay around 10 percent more than the Accent and aren’t concerned that all-wheel drive is not available.

With an automatic transmission, air-conditioning, the iOS-Android cellphone interface, heated front seats, power windows and locks as well as a tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, the base Essential trim is nicely equipped. The Preferred trim upgrade adds alloy wheels, roof rails, leather wraps for the steering wheel and shifter, blind spot and rear cross traffic monitors and a pushbutton start system, is good value. The Ultimate trim adds L.E.D. headlamps, upgraded trim, a sunroof and automatic climate controls, and is very good value.

Average to above average reliability is predicted during the warranty period.
