I loved this more “basic” car review. It was a nice change from all the flashy expensive cars. This is something people would actually buy. Very informative and great format. Loved this, Sofyan!

Finally a car review for normal folks

I just took delivery of a 2021 Hyundai Venue SE... it has enough old-school features that I like, but also just enough modern features that are useful for an older guy like me

The Koreans are killing it. I've been super impressed with every model to come out of Hyundai/Kia recently. I've never owned one, but they now offer several models I'd actually buy.

BIG piece to mention too: the SEL package has the sunroof, while the Denim edition does not.

Best video in awhile. Down to earth, refreshing for a change.

My local Hyundai dealer in Oklahoma City has 3 of these Venue Denims and selling them for $19,830 + Documentation fee of $399. Not bad on a new basic transportation with a great warranty and 3 years of free maintenance for just over $20k + taxes.

Just got this car 2020 version and LOVE IT! So cute and fun. Perfect first car! Has great features and one of the better touch screens.

Just got my Denim yesterday. So stylish. Love it! And great options. Perfect for San Diego.

Good down to earth review Sofyan. I like seeing common vehicles on your channel. Nice job. Hope to see more.

I like that a mandatory backup camera is considered a nice standard feature

I love the look of the Venue. It would be a perfect 2nd vehicle or if you just want a small A-B car.

I bought this car to commute from my house to my university. It's a great car for college students. Would highly recommend. Mine is a 2020 hyundai venue SEL

Great model from Hyundai! Been liking their products lately, especially with Genesis. Awesome video!!

Thanks for the insightful review. As always, you have a practical point of view. I like how you're diplomatic about some of the downsides of the vehicle, and your acknowledgement of its potential market audience. I saw one in a parking lot yesterday and it caught my eye. I'm looking to replace my 1997 RAV4, which was damaged beyond repair in an accident. The Venue's specs are nearly the same as the RAV4 except for the all-wheel drive. HP is one horse more! I also paid about $21,000 for the RAV4 in 1996. The Venue has a lot of value considering design and technology. Thanks for your hard work.

This the most optioned and useful cheap brand new car. The back door handles are on the normal position especially if you have kids unlike the Honda HRV and Toyota CVR. Also the large screen with built in navigation, boxy shape makes it very practical for everything. Lane keep assist is a nice safety touch. Also heated seats... This is crossing over into luxury car segment. Easy to park as well & most of all great on gas.

Hyundai is killing it with their vehicles lately and this is a very nice "cheap" car. If they offered it AWD, I would definitely put it on top of my list. Minnesota winters is to harsh sometimes to own just a FWD car.

Got our 16 year old daughter the 2022 Venue. A Lot of safety feature and up grades for 20k. Great little car for her.

I just ordered the 2022 Scarlett red pearl limited i’m excited thanks for the video

Thanks for this review. It was very helpful!

The Snow mode adjusts traction for each individual front and left drive wheels. Huge difference

Love this denim edition wow its unique! I love the exterior and interior in this color combination wow its pretty. Good job!

Of the "budget friendly" cars made today, I find this car appealing with that blue interior! I really like blue and there's not enough cars with interiors that aren't black, grey, tan, or off white! I'm skeptical of the longevity of CVT's. Its nice that its at least programmed with "steps" rather than just a continuous drone like on Nissan's CVT's. I'm overall disgusted with how car companies are forcing us all to get into an inefficient SUV form factor now because upper middle class soccer moms with snotty nosed soccer kids somehow represent everyone in America now.

Love this car. It is the answer to the first car for teens and the price of older used cars now.

I have the 2021 SEL with premium package option and it’s a great city car, although it does take some getting used to driving a smaller car when coming from a large suv. It does have way more safety features than the car I had and for the price it was well worth the purchase.

Thanks for another nice review! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for the great presentation.

For a guy using a selfie stick, you're really good at this!

I love the use of Inexpensive over the word cheap!! Must have read my comments lol

The good thing about no direct injection is no chance of oil dilution💡👍

Thanks for your review, I am looking into this car and trim for 2022 😎👌 one thing I did want to see is getting into the car. My question is do you have to step down into the car or just slide in? I am 6ft tall and getting down into a car bothers my back nowadays so I was looking for something I could more slide into.

Excellent choice for recent graduates staggering under loan debt or (in my case) for parents of a college student looking for a vehicle with up-to-date driver assistance and safety features, a strong warranty, and sufficient room to move from home to campus and back again on a regular basis. A used car can be less expensive, of course, but as I consider sending my daughter off to college where I can't backstop her for maintenance and repairs and want the assurance she's in a vehicle with modern bells and whistles, it's a tempting alternative. Now if I could just convince her that it's a far more practical choice than a Mustang. :)

I bought two Nissan cubes and probably would buy another one if they still sold them. Hyundai hit our household right between the eyes with this one. Small, boxy, full of character, fuel-efficient, cheap enough to buy and run -- checks all those boxes. Would check it out if we needed to replace one of the cubes. Thankfully we don't need to -- yet.

I've got the Kia Rio which has the exact same drivetrain and I'm averaging over 45mpg with daily 50 mile round-trip drives to work. It's such a smooth shifting trans. It will be interesting to see the reliability of it.

The evolution of these Korean manufacturers is amazing , not too long ago they were just plastic on wheels.

Personally, I always preferred sedans and SUVs in the compact, mid sized, and full size class, pickup trucks, and sportier cars, but these sub compact crossover SUVs, like the Subaru Crosstrek, Honda HRV, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Venue, Hyundai Kona, Buick Encore, Jeep Renegade, Kia Soul, Jeep Compass, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Ford Ecosport, Chevy Trax, the new Chevy Trailblazer, seem like decent alternatives to econoboxes like sub compact sedans and hatchbacks. My personal favorite ones are the Subaru Crosstrek, Honda HRV, KIa Soul, Kia Seltos, Jeep Compass, the new Chevy Trailblazer.

Good review and seems pretty peppy for the power , that's a lot quicker than than the old eco boxes .

Good review looks like a nice car, but it's crazy how much car prices are these days if you go back to the early to mid 1980s a new car was less than $9,000, and now it's triple the price for around the same size car

when u turn on the AC does the acceleration become sluggish ?

Hyundai is killing it in every segment!

Thank you! This video helps!!

Sir, Since your move to PA from DC; How are the road conditions...😷🙂

Honestly the adaptive cruise is interesting because all the hardware is there to do it? Seems like they went that far, they should of just put it in.

Is snow mode like AWD? There is something called snow mode on it. I do have a long commute on mountain roads but there is only snow/ ice sometimes.

Hi I just wanted to ask when can we expect 2023 Venue and what changes to expect

Management at Mitsubishi “This is very useful information for us, but our Mirage is good the way it is”

These crossovers make perfect sense for most young urban people. It’s relatively inexpensive, compact, and versatile but with the latest display tech. I can’t find a better and more cost-effective first car for an urban young adult. The taller seating posture makes it short and perfect as a city car, it’s actually just an inch longer than a 4 door mini cooper, and a couple of inches shorter than even the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris. Due to its larger ground clearance, it is more capable in inclement weather and more resistant against potholes than subcompact hatchbacks.

I was going to get the Kona originally, but there was no availability until it gets refereshed for 2024, so the Venue and the Elantra were my only choices at the moment, so of course, I had to have the Venue with more practicality. I have a 2023 Hyundai Venue, and the only main difference is that mine is the mid trim, so the climate control knobs look different, and mine has the LCD instrument display that was part of the refresh. I gotta say, I love this car. It's a very simple car to drive, very easy to see out of, very easy to park, and even though the 1.6L 4 cyl engine only makes 121 HP and 113 lb-ft of torque, it feels pretty peppy. The CVT transmission is also really good, and very responsive. And the best part is the gas mileage. It is very very efficient. It's supposed to get 30 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, 31 mpg combined, but I have averaged much better than that. I've actually averaged between 39-53 mpg in the city, and then I've averaged 50 mpg on the highway on the 1 time I've been on the highway with this car, which is beyond amazing. Probably because I always drive in the Eco mode. For a city car that people need for everyday driving, it's a perfect choice. I'd definitely recommend the car if you want to replace your Accent, which is basically what this car is replacing.

Hi I was wondering if you know if there's a tow package available

Blue interior makes a return!

The Levi’s package AMC Gremlin rides again! Welcome back!

They have the i20 N in other markets (different model than Venue but same concept), so as you say they could easily put the Kona's or Veloster's turbo (175/195 hp) in this with revised suspension tuning and have a great car.

The white areas on the inside is not a good idea. It looks great, but it's going to smudge easily. Otherwise, a well put together vehicle for that price range. Another well balanced review Sofyan 👍🏻.

This would make a great vehicle for college students or young adults who are on a budget. Just checked out the crash test results for this car, and I do see pretty high scores! This would make a great around-town vehicle, although I don't think this would be such a comfortable vehicle on an extended trip. In a place where I live where most of the driving occur around-town, this would be a nice little car.

I would definitely consider buying this car. I wonder if Japanese or Korean automakers would ever consider making their own version of a Mini. Mazda certainly did well with the Miata. If a small turbo for this car wouldn't kill its reliability, it sounds like it would be worth the extra money. Nice review.

I just got one a few weeks ago and I LOVE this car. I joke and call it a mom car not a vroom vroom car. It may look small but it's surprisingly roomy, trunk space is a bit meh but then again you can just fold down the back.

I am looking at online photos from a local dealer and they do come with a sunroof.

Actually would be cool to see a hybrid model while keeping this engine. It would still add more power. Yeah not the 190ish HP the 1.6t currently produces in the Kona or Tuscon. But could still bump it up to around 140-150ish HP. And would give it great fuel economy with a speed boost. (Hell I want them to make a Kona hybrid but keep the 1.6t like the Tuscon. 220hp for that little car would be fantastic and you'd get 34+mpg easily)

I thought this was the Chevy Trailblazer when I first saw the thumbnail for this video!

is this car going to be sold in the uk i hope so love this car

I would like to throw this out to the manufacturers of budget cars; visual tricks can make a cheap car seem more premium than it is. Case in point, hard plastics. I have a 2010 KIA Soul Sport, which has a two tone red and charcoal interior. The upper half of the dash is red and the lower part s charcoal. The door panels meanwhile, are charcoal with red inserts. All of these surfaces are hard plastic. Visually however, this two tone color scheme really breaks up the cabin and even nearly 12 years later, it still looks fun every time I get into the car. This Venue in the denim trim does the same thing visually vwith it's dash and I think it looks great too, even though everything looks like hard plastic. The design on the cloth also prevents the seats from looking like the cheap cloth it is. In my 2010 Soul, a hounds tooth pattern was used to accomplish the same thing. In short, the eyes can distract our brains from what we feel. And with many women I have dated, the opposite is probably true, that feel can distract from what we see. :)

I thought 2021 Venue has wireless carplay?

New challenge! Do a whole review without saying the word “nice” 😂

If you have to have an SUV, for the price absolutely. I would still try and talk someone into the Corolla Hatchback though. For the same price you get more power, better mpg, radar cruise, an IRS, and Toyota reliability and resale value.

Wish Toyota would release the Yaris Cross in the USA. Shame that the subcompact market here is so limited. Other countries get all sorts of great, sporty, high-trim subcompacts (regular & hybrid versions).

I thought you uploaded this already

A very distinctive look that remind me my '79 Plymouth Horizon . Yeah ,very distinctive . Now it's not a Venue mais du déjà vue .

It's cute! I do it! Love the MPG...😻👍🎯😎

Sunroof is available on the SEL version with the Premium package.

is it a Box on Wheels? Please let us know about that....

IF IM ON A BUDGET, I DONT MIND LOOKING CHEAP....IM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE RELIABILITY

It is SOooo British SMART Downton Abbey -esq...i LOVE it

I really hope the new European/Asian version of the HR-V is very similar to the North American variant. I think it looks really nice and would be a nice replacement for those Fit drivers like myself.

is this all wheel drive?

5:48 to 5:58 did anyone else notice the flickering gauges for those 10 first seconds the car was on?

best review ever

It reminds me of a Suzuki Sidekick for some reason.

good review :)

No cruise control ?

Now im wishing i got the demin package. I could have got it for $2000 more from a different dealer but i do really enjoy my SEL.

That car look nice bro

I might go for the manual version

There is a sunroof, it's on the SEL trim level only. Not on the Limited.

I still prefer my Fit. and it is sad they no longer produce it.

Toyota gotta take notes for their interiors No disrespect to the brand though

This car looks like the villain from cars 2

I’m confused why they didn’t just put the 2.0 non turbo in this, just so it wasn’t do gutless, just so it’s like Elantra fast which is adequate.

I love the looks of the Venue and the Accent sedan, but hate the new Elantra sedan and I am cool to the weird Sonata.

i love mine so far, yes would like a turbo, but it gets me around

17:04 “Not good, but not excellent…” 😅

Reminds me of the Nissan Cube I owned and that was a great car!

AWD variant or Rear wheel drive variant ❓❔❓❔❓

I would have bought this if All wheel drive was an option.

Knowing it's not AWD, how is it in snow?

Looks like a Mini Cooper but with two extra doors, I like it

Another great review. The Venue is a great alternative to the Accent. 👍🏻

My son will start College soon.. This car is ideal for him.

But those other cars mentioned have standard 4 wheel drive.

How much can auto up/down window switches REALLY cost?????

121hp? $23k is cheap? Inflation!
