Bought the fully loaded 2021 venue white bc white is tasteful and looks cleaner. I don't understand why people now days need $50,000 vehicles when vehicles depreciate faster than anything. Plus I enjoy a much much much lower payment than what others are paying. I have a larger bank account a nice looking ride with plenty of features
@@fremontpathfinder8463 still enjoying it honestly. And for long commutes it does well and at times I turn sport mode on to get a little extra kick while having to speed up quickly around someone. Still a little under power but it still does the trick for the price
After driving my 2011 Sonata 2.0 Turbo for 10 years, I retired not only me but my beloved 275 hp commuter and bought a Venue. Fabulous! So impressed. It's solid and comfortable with every bell and whistle you could want. And yes..enough power for what you want to do and where you want to go. It's in a class by itself!
I bought a 2021 black one for my wife. I'm so glad I bought this car. The "Nanny Mode" features are awesome. And the ride is good! 30 MPG City, woot! I love my Elantra but this one is even better:)
I just bought my 2021 black sle love it l mainly do city driving. I love it for me perfect price and love my features. As a single professional l made a good choice. Better than a newer old used car.
Perfect brand new crossover. The long warranty alone is enough to win me over. Why buy a used Corolla or Civic when for the same price you can get a brand new car with warranty and better safety tech?
@@princekashyap6766 yes! it is very fun to drive, very responsive. i loved my old accent and the only thing i miss is the venue doesnt have a built in sunglasses holder. not sure why they took that away. but otherwise i feel the venue is great value.
Going to test drive one tomorrow! I really only need it for commuting to work and school! Doing some research where I live, the payments on this car are actually cheaper than a used car! A great option for a budget price!
Allison G and that is exactly why I’m thinking about it, is the safety features! I need it to be safe and I don’t need my mom to worry about me. I’m scared to buy a used vehicle, own it for a week and have to pay more to fix it than what the car is worth! I did buy one, but I’m waiting for the dealership to find me the model as they didn’t have any available! I bought the preferred! Colour doesn’t matter to be so whatever they find is good enough for me!!
@@trrippydude I also got the preferred. And they needed to track one down for me, too! Like you, I didn't care much about colour. Having said that, white was my preference (followed by silver). They found a white one. Enjoy! I'm loving my Venue -- and I get lots of compliments on it!
Thank you for the review! My college freshman daughter loves her Venue so much we are thinking about getting 2 more for our younger kids when they are off to colleges!!
I was just in a hit and run so mine was unfortunately totaled. I really enjoyed mine. I had the SEL with premium features like heated seats and a sunroof.
Thanks for a good review. I agree, the blue is the color ! My big concern is what I hear about Hyundai/Kia dealers. During the buying process, and later with service I am hearing many issues. Especially with warranty stuff. But the product is certainly compelling.
My Kia had a paint defect. I took it when it had the warranty and even though the manager acknowledged the defect, they told me to bring it back when is more noticeable. I did they took pictures and sent it to corporate. I got denied for repairs because now it looks like weather/ sun damage and the warranty is no longer valid. They bought themselves time giving me empty promises and information. Now my car is going to start rusting away. They know about the paint problem on their cars but only recalled and fixed the more expensive ones. They won’t get my business again
@@jheighten7568 Same here on a 2015 kia rio, that's the only bad thing about it , too bad the car is solid but i cannot stomach the rust, shame because the car is great, if only kia would acknowledge the problem, i may would buy another one....
I'm a fan of economy cars (I just don't prefer all the extras) and this car is one of the few that's around, I might be picking one up in the near future.
Would you recommend this car for cross country trips? I have family on the othersode of the states that I typically visit 2x a year and im looking for something to last!
I have the 2020 Venue Ultimate (top trim in Canada) in the Acid Yellow with the colour contrasts on the interior. Loving it...2021 doesn't have Acid Yellow as a main colour option
@@moeanthony9308 it's all about premium things when u are paying for the things u would expect a better quality...hard plastic has disadvantages also ...it's just giving the impression of quality and it's the in thing at the minute. remember as much as the exterior details of a car are important, as the ower/driver you're realistically going to be spending 90% of your time looking at the interior, so it might as well be a nice place to be. guess the logic is if they can't even bother to make the bits you see all the time well then what are they doing with the bits you don't see all the time? for example mate of mine went to look at a mini cooper s not too long ago and i remember the feeling of the inside door handles put me right off, felt like a flimsy bit of plastic you wouldn't even make a kids toy out of and creaked something crazy when you pulled them to close the door, i said as much to him that even the door handles on my skoda (he's a massive brand snob) were better made than they were.
Hyundai's signature front grill design is off-putting (IMO). I like the size of the vehicle (a true subcompact) but feel that the styling was aimed towards making it goofy/charming & girly. I wish they had copied the more aggressive Yaris Cross more, since that great little crossover will never be released in the USA/Canada.
Good point about the speedometer. I am sick and tired of automakers who feel the need to have speedometers that go up to ridiculous numbers. 200mph? Please.
Quick question: Is it offered with remote start? There's alot of different names and packages that include it or what I think does; Proximity Key, Digital Key, BlueLink, yada yada. Trying to decide between Venue and Kona, jumping over from a 2012 Mini Cooper that just doesn't fit my budget or lifestyle anymore.
I just got a white one. From a dealership though. I wish I had went through the website and built mine. Id love to have some of the features like blue link and push button start and auto start. Over all though this car is great and handles very well.
Can they make this car a few thousands cheaper but have a bigger engine? 1.6l without a turbo is horrible. If you are not adding a turbo then give me at least a 2.0l version.
I m form india we have this car with turbo 120 horsepower 172 nm tourq It takes 9.9 second 0-100 Fastest car With internet connectivity Per litre petrol we get 19 km at highway and city driving 13-14 km so awesome package
In Australia it's overpriced to buggery. The admittedly older style Mitsubishi ASX is the same price but even bigger than the Kona never mind the Venue. for "older style" read "all bugs and faults ironed out over the years so you can buy with confidence".
Certainly this is a beautiful color but which commands an extra in $ like any other shade than white... a real scam. We are here, cause we wants to pay as little as possible, am not interested in the denim option or 17 '' wheels and the cvt isn't a choice eitheir . Fortunately we can get the manual in canada
People buy white and silver cars cause they’re nicer,that blue is tacky and gaudy and when the car turns 3 years old or so makes the car look ten times older.
This CVT (IVT) has a chain in it instead of a belt. It drives a lot like a regular automatic. They did such a great job with the simulated gears. I have a 2020 Venue Ultimate (top trim in Canada) with the Acid Yellow (looks green when viewed at the right angles and at night time) exterior and i'm loving it
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.
Awesome!
Is it big? I feel like videos make it look bigger than it actually is. I'm looking for something thats not too big.
@@clarettabellamy4859 No, it's actually tiny
@@clarettabellamy4859 Yeah its small. Basically the size of a normal car like the Elantra and even a bit shorter. Its easy to park!

How do you like the car now that you have had it for a while? What do you think about the car for long daily work commutes?

I agree with you on that. Cars are liabilities basically. I want a car that gives the most value for less money, and the Venue is just that.

just bought one!! two tone grey and black. LOVE the way it looks. only have test driven one so far, picking my 2021 up end of the month.
Is it still good after driving it for 9 months?
@@princekashyap6766 yes! it is very fun to drive, very responsive. i loved my old accent and the only thing i miss is the venue doesnt have a built in sunglasses holder. not sure why they took that away. but otherwise i feel the venue is great value.
This presenter is honest and straightforward. Well, maybe the term straight forward is incorrect, but at least he is concise.
Just purchased mine yesterday from drive time and I'm in love!!!!!!
Going to test drive one tomorrow! I really only need it for commuting to work and school! Doing some research where I live, the payments on this car are actually cheaper than a used car! A great option for a budget price!
Awesome! Leave us a comment if you end up buying one!

How much did it cost u onroad
Why do people care about a soft touch dash board.... So stupid
Could never understand that either. Unless they drive and touch at the same time. Makes no sense.
For me is because the plastic scratches and in time it looks terrible.
@@jheighten7568 Not always though. I have seen soft touch with more scratches than hard. Either way eventually scratches will happen regardless.

yes for sure you can get it with remote start. it came standard on mine. :)
I’m sure they’ll have incentives to get it under $20k...
I see more Konas than Venues on the road. Literally seen one Venue like a few months ago. 😂

I priced the 2021 here in Ontario. the base car still has the 6 speed.
and it's still near 24K cad $ all tax & prep. in . Not cheap for the cheapest version .
Beautiful 🚙 car
Power seats?
No.
we do have special features in driving we have normal, sport and snow! sport speeds you up quick
the Speedo only goes to 140.. how sad
Can they make this car a few thousands cheaper but have a bigger engine? 1.6l without a turbo is horrible. If you are not adding a turbo then give me at least a 2.0l version.

What is the rpm at 70mph?
Yes would love to know as well my 2011 Accent turns 3800 at 120 kmhr should have been geared higher or 6 speed but I have 195000 on it and runs great

I still have a hard time thinking of an "entry level" vehicle that costs a whole lot more than my parents paid for the house I grew up in.
Its called inflation. Your parents didn't spend the equivalent of a new car for their house.
@@jjstuartonwriting8150 A new car was about $3000
@@kdeh21803 Adjusted for inflation, that same car would be $30000 today, and a $25000 house would be a quarter million in today's dollars.
Look s like Mercedes GLC 300, and cutter

White cars look bigger
