I don’t understand why a lot of car reviews always complain about having a lot of interior plastics on budget cars…don’t those plastics allow the low price and allow for easy cleaning? As long as the plastics look good and don’t squeak/rattle, I think that should be a good thing on budget cars. Just saying…

I really appreciate it when a reviewer actually acknowledges budget vehicles and value equations and doesn’t say, come across as an out of touch car snob.

I bought one just little over a year ago and I have driven it in all conditions. I love it. I haul horse feed in the back all the time. It is a unique looking sub SUV and it gets great gas mileage. I bought it after owning a used 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe that went more than 200,000 miles before needing some major mechanical work. It was a highly reliable vehicle and I expect this one to do the same. The sport setting on the transmission is really useful for city traffic or accelerating on the ramps. You do have to watch your driving in severe cross winds or gusty winds in this vehicle and drive accordingly.

Had mine for about 3 months now. Have the fully loaded package and for the most part I love the car. At times it would be nice to have a bit more horse power but sport mode does help. And at night everyone thinks I have my brights on bc of the projector headlights but nothing I can do about that. But the car looks nice, gets great gas mileage, has a lot of neat features like lane keep assist and safety features. The sunroof nice and so are the heated seats with heated side mirrors. Overall I'll give the car a 8/10

Just bought one of these. Love it so far👍

Love my Venue! I get so many compliments on it! Did great in a Michigan winter! Only wish the audio system had a bit more oomph, but the sound is clear and crisp.

We bought one last week and we love it! Easy to drive, great on city streets, excellent gas mileage, and our two dogs love it too

I just got one and people have legit squealed at how cute it is 😆 It’s such a fun little car to drive too for the price.

Great review as always Matt!

I just bought mine and i love it. Coming from driving a Jeep Gladiator as my main vehicle, i had to get a little commuter since gas prices are topping at almost 5.00 dollars a gallon here in California. I got the galactic grey 2022 Venue Limited, Two toned with black. The features included just feels like a steal at 23k dollars especially with how cars are so expensive now a days. Very comfortable, roomy, and doesn’t feel like an entry level car. Must consider. I originally was looking at a Subaru Crosstrek, or a Mazda C-30. I ended up with this. No regrets.

Thank you for the pleasant, informative review!

My son just leased a Venue SEL. REALLY nice for the price. I drive a 2015 VW GTI that I've had since new, and I am very impressed with the quality of the Hyundai - particularly with it's solidity and quietness. Yes, it's all hard plastic inside - but it it doesn't feel cheap - just utilitarian.

The SEL trim for 2022 now comes with a sunroof standard. Me personally, I'd get that cool Limited trim in Denim, over Denim. To me, that looks really cool. Two tone white/denim, and a cool denim interior. Comes with remote start, but won't run the air, or heat, unless the settings have been setup before turning the engine off, which to me is ok, because you'll just get cold air coming at you on a cold day, anyway. The remote start is nice to warm the engine up, so when you turn on the heater, you're good to go, no waiting for the engine to warm up. Really like this, and, would look at this over a comparable Jeep Renegade, which would be more expensive optioned like the Limited trim is. Oh, butt warmers, too. Nice on a cool fall day.

Great video. Very helpful!

This was actually quite funny. Good on ya!

I have a 2020 Venue Ultimate (top trim in Canada) in Acid Yellow with the matching colour contrasts on the interior. Loving it. The Acid Yellow looks green at night and when viewing it from the right angles in daylight. I love how the CVT has the simulated gears, almost feels like a traditional automatic

This cars weight comes so close to that of my 1983 BMW 320i, which I drove for many decades. However, for a daily drive, this Venue is just a smart buy. A smart buy

like your review, very well rounded

Excellent review. Seems like a fair assessment of the pros and cons. This vehicle is on my shopping list. I'm looking for a sub-$20k hatchback or CUV. The Venue seems like a worthy contender. I love the styling inside and out. It's a clean, attractive design that I suspect will age well. I'm considering the Kia Soul too, but honestly, I'm not a fan of the styling. The Venue has mechanical technology in it that is new to Hyundai, so I'm a little leery of the reliability. Notably the IVT transmission and the DPI fuel injection system.

you should be in advertistement: "Hyundai. Not that bad."

Just got mine this week!

Awesome video I'm trying to decide between this or a Tucson

I have one but my is blue and I love it. It's perfect for what I need it for just to point A to point b and sometimes point c.

I bought the 2020 apple green sel model in 8/2020. I use it as my Doordash vehicle. It has done very good in Buffalo NY even through our winter (with dedicated snows). I put on 200 miles a day too. I receive plenty of compliments.

Bought a venue in 2022 and love it so far ! it has turbo too

Thanks for sharing this! Specially, I liked interior review, it was so helpful to awake me the interior is the plastic.... no good 😂. Anyhow Venue is cute and reasonable car. Have a plan for purchase it soon!

I bought a 2021 Venue in Apple Green . I do have Apple car play . No problem ... and for an small Island like Maui , Hawaii . this is just perfect . My engine dose not vibrate , I can switch to the Sport drive or Snow drive , which at this point Hawaii is not gonna freeze any time soon ... I gave up Lexus Is 250 from 2008 with a mark levinson stereo with was heaven to my ears ... Do I need a luxury car in a small Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean... I guess this new car will do perfect . I LOVE IT

Thank you for the review. Love from india

JUST BOUGHT MINE A MONTH AGO LOVE IT

Will buy for my grandma this Venue , thanks !

I think the Ford Flex aged beautifully lol - and I think the Hyundai Venue will age predictably. As fun, small, charismatic and economical.

Just got one and same color!!! Love it!

I was looking into a Mini Cooper countryman but was worried about the reliability. This is a great alternative in comparison to the size and drive. Cant wait to go look at some !

I like it. Perfect vehicle to be cheap, stylish, practical, and small enough to remind your tall/plump loved one's that they're only with you for a short drive and not a long drive. I'll buy it for the reasons i stated, but i wish hyundai would add more powertrain options for the Venue since America's living standards are free falling to 2nd/3rd world status. Venue Hybrid: This can be done like the refresh Santa Fe. Drop the Kia Niro powertrain in this thing. Venue N-Line: Sportier look, sportier suspension tuning, wider 17in wheels, add optional IMT (I never drove a manual transmission in a car before, but i plenty of experience in rigs). Venue N: Why is this not being built? Who wouldn't like a go-cart CUV that's the size of a Fiat 500 Abarth and gen 2 mini? Drop all the i20 N upgrades in this thing. Also, bring the AX1 (code name for now) to the US once it's reveal. We can't have enough CUVs. I can tell by the spy shots it have more interior space than the Chevy Spark hatch/Activ (currently the smallest CUV is the US) and Mitsubishi Mirage.

I think its a pretty cute car for sure.

I'm working on getting one now, in this same color.

Would this vehicle be good for cross country road trips? I have family on the other side of the states and I prefer driving over flying so I visit once or twice a year

I am content with the car as well. Gas mileage averages out at 33 mpg combined. Nice!

i love your videos

Nexon xza plus amt petrol vs venue sx sport imt which one to choose?

HOW IS SAFETY IN HIGHWAY/ ACCIDENS? IS THE CAR FRAME STRONG ENOUGHT?

No manual shifting? Good, I like automatic. Low HP? Good, I like better mpg. Mostly plastic? So are many of the expensive vehicles. I don't like auto braking though. If someone cuts you off in traffic and you have a tailgating vehicle behind you it can cause a crash. How well does it fit someone that is 6' tall with wide shoulders? What size speakers are in the doors? (Just asking to see what they could be replaced with)

The venue could be a small car but for the price it is a good car it is a very good car for the people who are looking to buy a economic family car . Overall: 8/10

23.5k USD... In my 3rd world country, that's almost 1.2 Million pesos. It's definitely not something we'd call "just" a car. Thanks for your review :)

I have a question. Why does the lid car have a interior hatch opener also why isn’t ther a handle on top of the drivers side they made the indent fir one. It should be install for those that have a hard time for the enter of getting in the Venue. The radio is old school there is no incon for XM radio. You have to mainstream from your cell phone. Besides a think is a safety hazard trying to drive and would like to change a the station. Can’t store anything for XM radio. The back hatchback is a outside manual to open.. I have bought 5 Hyundai’s and every car u have purchased all had this features. This Has been in Sonya, and my Elantra’s I ha e purchased. I feel that the hatch needs to be addressed along with all I have addressed. I would add poreciate your comments regarding my text does the SEL have the icon for XM radio have the permit icon on the radio., is there an interio opener for the hatch to ooen I thank you

They will skyrocket in price if they keep getting reviews. Making them unaffordable, and only for the upper middle class like all SUVs

How tall are you ? It looks you fit good. I’m 6 foot / 1.83 meters . Do you think I’ll fit?

I got a 2020 value loving it good sound system easy to drive in Johannesburg roads

What colour is this in the video?

But, come on, the Crossfire was and is still smoking! I just love that one.

My baby! I have one like this, that color.

Literally bought a white one today. Love the Interior more 😍

Most excellent review. Thanks. I really like the value equation here. But, due to the current market conditions, Hyundai dealers in the Bay area are marking up a lot. It really kills the whole reason for considering this. And, I hear not great things about owner/dealer experience. Too bad, as I lie this vehicle.

Wait so the venue with the SEL premium package is more expensive than getting the Denim version? that doesn't make any sense

I'm considering the Venue Denim edition as a daily long commuter. Also considering the Corolla hybrid which is a similar price

In India, this is a big car. Context matters.

Its much smaller in person. I can see first time & older buyers going for these.

I nick named that car the Corgi. I rented for my South dakota trip drove over 100 mph several trips and got caught once . Good on gas mileage and on speed

have a 2023 so far i love it

So what should the future be, steel dash etc. that's the way cars use to be built I had a few...Plastic is safer and less expensive to Mfg. So tell us what material should be used IYO ???

For the most part I really like my fully loaded Venue. My only issue is that it doesn't seem to handle that great in the snow. I live in Minnesota so for snow storms need that extra traction. I even questioned if it was a front wheel drive vehicile because I've had small compact cars that handled better in the snow. But it's a nice car to drive (when not snowing) I get alot of "cute car" comments and its roomier than a car.

I am looking at this car but I need to fit one booster seat and one car seat in the back. Anyone have experience with this car and kids seats?

Would you recommend I purchase a 2024 Hyundai venue at $23 000 or a 2019 Honda Fit (61 000 Km/38 000 miles) at $21 000?

I love the Venue

Can you talk about the snow mode? Is it comparable to AWD

I am in love with mine!! I just wish my Hyundai screen would work properly. I definitely have to restart or hit the reset button because of an occasional black screen.

This is how cars should be priced not 50 thousand , 100s of thousands 👎 nice kia and hyundai...

I love this small suv cause it's good for the price and features

I just got one and it’s was nice I went to buy a Nissan kick and I left with a venue I get lots of compliments and it’s mileage is great so if your in the market pick one up I got mine for 15K 2021 used but in extremely good condition 👋🏼😺

So MT is feeling better than CVT with this engine? At my place you can still get MT at highest trim 2021ym.

It’s just so adorable lol

Best $20K value vehicle on the market today

Wish one day get him haha😏

I currently have one as a rental. They could do an N model with the Elantra 1.8…or…the Sonata 2.4. I would prefer the 2.4. Imagine the size Venue with Sonata power. That would be fun. I do really like it so far.

How does the venue do on windie roads, hilly roads and driving through mountains?

I’m 6 feet tall. I’m wondering how tall you are because you looked comfortable in the driver’s seat.

almost nobody needs a car better than this

if the wheelbase is longer then it wouldn't be cramp on the back seats for 5'9" height.

What rpm at 120 kmhr, I have a 2011 Accent with 196,000 km on it and still runs great and this may be my next great little car

A much better package than the Trax.

You can get a brand new 2021 Tucson Limited for around 25k now, and that's the top trim, much more room and nicer interior. Catch one of those before the 2022 Tucson arrives would be a great deal.

I want one for my tight condo parking.

Are Turbo engines good in the long run??

Wow that's a cool little putput for use around town, giving rides for the kids and runs to Home Depot. LOL For the price, I have no complaints.

Spend a little more and get the Kona. I have one and I love it.

I prefer the Kona over the Venue. But it’s a great looking car.

WHITE ROOF version reminds me of MINI COOPER.

Like the way your jeans fit.

Is this bigger then the Kia soul?

Good

Generally speaking, boxy cars age better, design wise, than super swoops or weird angular looking vehicles. Because the design isn't polarizing, it's almost boring, while being very practical. A good example would be like a Volvo 144s. It was produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It still has a design language that would translate easily into the Volvo family of sedans today. That's a 50 year old, three box design.

This is probably for someone single or a couple without kids or older people. Backseat is ridiculous but it’s cheap. I love Hyundai and they have some great options from the accent, to this car to top of the line cars and trucks and the N line is nice too.

But it's a good video overall

Reminds me of the first gen Soul.

My only HUGE gripe and disappointment about this car is their SEL & LIMITED trims make no sense. If you get the top end LIMITED trim you won't have the ability to add a moonroof, you will get WIRED Apple Car Play/Android Auto vs the WIRELESS that you would standard on the lower end SE & SEL trims which doesn't make any sense to me, especially because they have a wireless charger only available in the LIMITED trim built in. On top of that, the LIMITED trim only comes in three colors. & dark gray is not an option on the the exterior colors of the car unless you get lower trim models. So they really screwed up very badly on the trim levels. Once they fix that up, I would probably have to consider this car, because it would be a good buy otherwise.

This guy is too funny

The only thing I wish it had is a bigger gas tank… I had a Hyundai sonata with an 18.5 gallon tank and it was perfect for my commute to work. But going to this would mean more time at the gas station and I don’t want that. I hate the rims too Lmao

Thank you for the great review if i may i will like to add that reconsidering buying it is a wise decision too, I have a 2021 with only 2000 miles and turns out that it has two long pieces of undercarriage protection panels that if you drive it in strong rain will rip of the screws, leaving you with almost a $700 bill to replace them both because is not cover by the supposed bumper to bumper warranty, because if you don't replace them could damage supposed under vehicle sensors. I really apologize to anyone that is really looking forward to buying this vehicle but this little details is what ruins anyone's experience good luck....

Common man? Is this 1951?

There’s no excuse for the car not to have padded armrests, its a dealbreaker
