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…
lol no...those plastics dont lower the price or the halogens instead of leds that is just the capitalist way of getting your money. They just force you to pay more for upper trims or upgraded cars
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.
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
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.
@@fremontpathfinder8463 it has a 10 year power train warranty. They also offer a 3 year complimentary service. I don't think you need to worry about the car breaking down.
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.
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.
Nice! I was looking at the Crosstrek and the C-30, but ultimately decided to try & get the Venue SEL in Galactic Gray. I just put a deposit on one today. It should arrive in September.
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.
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.
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.
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 ???
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.
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 !
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
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
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
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 👋🏼😺
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.
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.
Maybe I can as I own a 2020 Venue Sel, Galactic Grey. I've never driven an AWD so I can't compare. Always had trouble driving in snow with my old Dodge Dakota rear wheel drive. My Hyundai does really well in snow, even without snow mode. Drove in 5 inches of snow without snow mode, and it's also great in muddy areas.
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
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
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....
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)
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 own this car and it has not disappointed in any aspect! I got it for the safety rating and the leg room fr the driver. The tech is also the best part. Most cars ask for more money for what I think should be standard tech these days. Lane keep assist, pedestrian detection, the gas mileage is amazing. 40 for almost 400 miles, c’mon!
Dude, it is an economy car. So, you can't drive like speed racer, and it has plastic on the interior. At least it is affordable and has a great warranty. You say cup holders are inadequate? Dude, (again, lol.), it is not Hyundai's fault that you made a mess in your car. Be more careful. LOL. As to it not having a turbo or a stick shift, good for Hyundai. A weak engine paired with a hotter turbo charger is asking for trouble. They run hotter. I wouldn't want one driving on a hot day in heavy traffic with the AC on. I live just outside Philly; we have a lot of congestion. And no stick shift? Again, good for Hyundai. Stick shifts are archaic. Unless you are driving a big heavy truck for work, or a sports car, what is the point? Modern automatics are way more efficient and more responsive than they used to be. Manual transmissions are the equivalent of loading a gun with powder and ball. Looks like a good inexpensive car. Great for those on a budget.
I just rented one. It’s a decent little car. And doesn’t look bad at all. But I can’t believe that you would say it is a very good looking car, but then put the Pontiac Solstice in the “doesn’t look good” segment. I agree about the others in the segment though. Good video. Thank you!
I was going to look at it but thought it might be a bit too small. Also considering corolla hatch might is a bit larger. Sounds like I should reconsider.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@dearbulls no I’m asking you if the current but soon to be previous generation is that low price you said and you mentioned it being the top spec trim. I’m just asking if it’s the fully loaded model that can be had for $25? Not the newly redesigned 2022- I know the new generation isn’t going to be that inexpensive for the top trim. You got my attention tho and I’ll get on dealer websites and buy the current one if it’s as spectacular as you said. Cuz daddy needs a Gud deal!
@@2004cyrus LOL 😆 sorry about that bud. When you said HUD it just caught my attention. Yes, it's 2020 or 2021 tucson ultimate AWD, the top trim. MSRP 35k+, now at the Matthews, NC dealer it is 26k+, you can find them on cargurus, set searching radius to "nationwide". Your local dealership might not list price that low, but you can definitely print out the lowest from cargurus and ask your local to beat the price. It does have pano roof, wireless charging, leather seat, but NO HUD. This feature only on Santa Fe and Palisade. Not even the new 2022 Tucson has HUD.
@@dearbulls oh okay no problem I’m HUD I don’t need that. The deal sounds amazing for all of those other items! You know your stuff! Thanks again for the information I will look at my dealers online now! I’m in the market. I was thinking VW Taos but this Hyundai will be a better value and have a longer warranty and 3 years of scheduled maintenance included
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.
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
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.
DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI. THEIR ENGINES FAIL. THEY LOST A LAWSUIT TO RECALL THEIR FAULTY ENGINES. BUT THEY ARE TAKING A YEAR TO GET BACK TO IT'S CUSTOMERS. I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A CAR THAT HASN'T WORKED FOR NEARLY A YEAR!!
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
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.
Uprgrade your tires. How the car handles the snow is 99% tires. My son just leased a Venu, and I'm immediately taking the stock tires off and replacing them with Michelin Cross Climates.
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…
Agree👌🏼
lol no...those plastics dont lower the price or the halogens instead of leds that is just the capitalist way of getting your money. They just force you to pay more for upper trims or upgraded cars
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 have an old 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe , would you say this is an upgrade ?
@@kimmyjong-un3894 yes a huge one
OHOH NO BRIGHTS PLEASE. CAN THEY FIX IT?
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.
Thank you for this winter review 🙏🏾
I'm in Chicago, so your review helps. I'm working on getting the SEL with snow mode, so to know that it does well in Michigan is great.
Add base to it will sound better
This is how cars should be priced not 50 thousand , 100s of thousands 👎 nice kia and hyundai...
Just bought one of these. Love it so far👍
How much did u pay out of door. Wanna buy one as well
What do you think about a 40 mile commute each way. Do you think the car is sturdy
Me too! 27k out the door. SEL with Premium Package and cargo accessories. Extra for window tinting and door protection. I'm very pleased so far
@@fremontpathfinder8463 it has a 10 year power train warranty. They also offer a 3 year complimentary service. I don't think you need to worry about the car breaking down.
@@crumptonemma WAIT WAIT WAIT, You paid 27K for this car? Please tell me I'm misreading

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
Hey there. How's it holding up?
They will skyrocket in price if they keep getting reviews.
Making them unaffordable, and only for the upper middle class like all SUVs

@@olivegreen337 nice!
I’m in Buffalo ny too looking to buy this car tomorrow !
So happy to read this! I’m in Buffalo too and also considering this car!
Do you know if there’s engine block heater in 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.
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.

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
How is it on gas ?
Its much smaller in person. I can see first time & older buyers going for these.
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 :)
In India, this is a big car. Context matters.
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 does this suv sit low at the same level as a sedan? Or are you higher up than a sedan and get a better view?
A much better package than the Trax.

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
I’m 6 feet tall. I’m wondering how tall you are because you looked comfortable in the driver’s seat.
Bought a venue in 2022 and love it so far !
it has turbo too
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.

Will buy for my grandma this Venue , thanks !
My baby! I have one like this, that color.
I am content with the car as well. Gas mileage averages out at 33 mpg combined. Nice!
I'm considering the Venue Denim edition as a daily long commuter. Also considering the Corolla hybrid which is a similar price
I prefer the Kona over the Venue. But it’s a great looking car.
But, come on, the Crossfire was and is still smoking! I just love that one.
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.

I love this small suv cause it's good for the price and features
Wait so the venue with the SEL premium package is more expensive than getting the Denim version? that doesn't make any sense
What about the common woman? Would she like this car?
Yes! Dollar for dollar, the Venue is one of the most enjoyable vehicles I've tested. Thank you for watching!
I own this car and it has not disappointed in any aspect! I got it for the safety rating and the leg room fr the driver. The tech is also the best part. Most cars ask for more money for what I think should be standard tech these days. Lane keep assist, pedestrian detection, the gas mileage is amazing. 40 for almost 400 miles, c’mon!
There’s no excuse for the car not to have padded armrests, its a dealbreaker
🤣

Does it only happen during starting the venue
@@MrNutz52 happens to me occasionally when I start up
Great review as always Matt!
Common man? Is this 1951?
Literally bought a white one today. Love the Interior more 😍
Me too!!! Isn’t it awesome?
@@isabellavazquez-muniz9250 it's awesome so far, definitely the gas mileage, it's like I can drive farther without having to get gas
I want one! Looks so cozy❤
JUST BOUGHT MINE A MONTH AGO LOVE IT
The reason why you're complaining about the engine, is b/c Hyundai makes shit engines
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
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
This IS the Accent, is it not? Same engine and base?
@@ralphneelands3990 nope and nope had mine side by side but I do like it
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.
I like plastic. I've spent forty years in the oil industry. 🙂
i love your videos
This guy is too funny
Great video. Very helpful!
I love the Venue
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.
That’s actually not a bad deal at all! And that’s a top trim? Like panoramic sunroof and wireless charging and heads up display and leather and so on?
@@2004cyrus you are probably talking about 2022. The one on sale is 2021
@@dearbulls no I’m asking you if the current but soon to be previous generation is that low price you said and you mentioned it being the top spec trim. I’m just asking if it’s the fully loaded model that can be had for $25? Not the newly redesigned 2022- I know the new generation isn’t going to be that inexpensive for the top trim. You got my attention tho and I’ll get on dealer websites and buy the current one if it’s as spectacular as you said. Cuz daddy needs a Gud deal!
@@2004cyrus LOL 😆 sorry about that bud. When you said HUD it just caught my attention.
Yes, it's 2020 or 2021 tucson ultimate AWD, the top trim. MSRP 35k+, now at the Matthews, NC dealer it is 26k+, you can find them on cargurus, set searching radius to "nationwide". Your local dealership might not list price that low, but you can definitely print out the lowest from cargurus and ask your local to beat the price.
It does have pano roof, wireless charging, leather seat, but NO HUD. This feature only on Santa Fe and Palisade. Not even the new 2022 Tucson has HUD.
@@dearbulls oh okay no problem I’m HUD I don’t need that. The deal sounds amazing for all of those other items! You know your stuff! Thanks again for the information I will look at my dealers online now! I’m in the market. I was thinking VW Taos but this Hyundai will be a better value and have a longer warranty and 3 years of scheduled maintenance included
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.
Best $20K value vehicle on the market today
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?
Just got mine this week!
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.
plastic , the horror!. many "luxury" brands have a lot of plastic even in the engine compartment.
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.
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
Looks like an european car. Like an italian car.
$50,000 trucks, how quaint....
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.
DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI. THEIR ENGINES FAIL. THEY LOST A LAWSUIT TO RECALL THEIR FAULTY ENGINES. BUT THEY ARE TAKING A YEAR TO GET BACK TO IT'S CUSTOMERS. I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A CAR THAT HASN'T WORKED FOR NEARLY A YEAR!!
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
I got a 2020 value loving it good sound system easy to drive in Johannesburg roads
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?
Thank you for the pleasant, informative review!
💯🙏
Overpriced vehicle, if you like Hyundai, just buy Elantra
How tall are you ? It looks you fit good. I’m 6 foot / 1.83 meters . Do you think I’ll fit?
The VW might be cheap for a Volkswagen pero kapag may nasira. Mahal ang parts ng VW.
WHITE ROOF version reminds me of MINI COOPER.
But it's a good video overall
HOW IS SAFETY IN HIGHWAY/ ACCIDENS? IS THE CAR FRAME STRONG ENOUGHT?
I don’t get the draw to this car it’s down right ugly a yugo on Steroids.
Spend a little more and get the Kona. I have one and I love it.
The Kona is a lot more
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.
This is interesting because I just read a comment from someone in Michigan, who said theirs did great in winter.
Uprgrade your tires.
How the car handles the snow is 99% tires.
My son just leased a Venu, and I'm immediately taking the stock tires off and replacing them with Michelin Cross Climates.
I'm working on getting one now, in this same color.
if the wheelbase is longer then it wouldn't be cramp on the back seats for 5'9" height.
Nexon xza plus amt petrol vs venue sx sport imt which one to choose?
