Combining a neat and characterful subcompact exterior with a surprisingly spacious cabin, the Hyundai Venue is a crossover that’s perfectly designed for everyday city driving duties.

The latest 2023 model is now available, and here’s why it’s set to maintain Hyundai’s lead in the urban-friendly crossover market.

Expressive Exterior Design

The Hyundai Venue might be one of the smallest SUVs on the market, but it packs a road presence way above its diminutive size. An imposing chrome front grille leads the way, with available 17″ alloy wheels and a two-tone finish adding to the overall high-end appeal. If you’re looking for a small but smart SUV that’s guaranteed to turn heads, the Venue won’t let you down.

Urban Driving Appeal

The Venue is aimed fairly and squarely at everyday urban driving, and the power train provides an ideal balance of power and economy to hit the mark. A 1.6L gas engine delivers 121 horsepower, an ample amount for nimble city performance, passed to front-wheel drive through an intelligent variable transmission (IVT).

What’s more, three available terrain modes optimize performance for all kinds of driving conditions, with settings for snow, sand, and mud delivering reliable handling and surefooted grip if your adventures take you away from the city pavement.

Upscale Interior

The Venue’s spacious interior is equipped with a generous set of comforts, with available features including a heated steering wheel, powered sunroof, automatic temperature control, and three-stage heated front seats to set an upscale tone. Premium cloth upholstery increases the comfort levels in the higher trims, while the standard four-speaker audio system can be upgraded to a six-speaker rig fed by HD/AM/FM radio or MP3 streaming audio.

Advanced Infotainment and Technology

The range of interior technology included with the 2023 Venue is equally impressive. A 4.2″ LCD driver information display is included as standard, along with an 8″ touchscreen used to access a wide range of infotainment features, with wireless versions of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provided to enable easy smartphone integration. Bluetooth hands-free extends the connectivity options even further, with two USB ports in the front taking care of device charging duties.

Reassuring Safety with Hyundai SmartSense

Hyundai has built a deserved reputation for supplying high-end safety systems even in their entry-level models, and the 2023 Venue more than lives up to expectations. Every trim level is equipped with the SmartSense system which provides standard and available technologies including:

– Blind-spot warnings with lane-change assist for safer highway passing

– Forward collision warnings with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking

– Lane-departure warnings with corrective lane-keep steering assistance

– Driver-attention monitoring to detect fatigue and recommend a break if needed

– Rear cross-traffic collision warnings to make reversing safer by warning of vehicles approaching from the sides

– High-beam assist with automatic detection of oncoming traffic

– LED headlights with cornering function for extra visibility

But the advanced technology isn’t the end of the Venue’s safety story. The entire vehicle is built around a frame made of strengthened steel, which absorbs collision energy and directs it away from the passenger compartment for the highest levels of accident protection. And, of course, as you’d expect from a Hyundai vehicle, passengers are protected by a full range of airbags throughout the cabin.
