- We review the 2020 Hyundai Venue to see if this affordable practical CUV is a dumpster fire. We provide you some tips and tricks on life and we talk about the technical parts of the under body using budget microphones. Buyers may also consider the Venue with Nissan Rogue, Kia Seltos, Honda HRV, Mazda CX30 and Toyota RAV4. But ultimately the Venue is about saving cash.

12:23 Final Thoughts - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I just checked one of these out at a car show. I'm 6' tall and had no problem sitting in the back seat behind myself. Cabin is solid and no-nonsense. Cargo room is reasonable for a vehicle this size. Engine is a new design, no turbo, dual-injection so carbon fouling of intake valves won't be an issue. Everything easy to work on in the engine compartment. Plus, you can get it with a manual transmission which should help engine performance greatly.
Honestly, it's the perfect no-nonsense car for somebody not looking to spend much but wanting to keep their car for 10 years.
We got one and love it, definitely plan on keeping it at least ten years. I just hope the CVT isn't problematic later on.
Several Japanese competitors use strictly CTV transmissions and still have a reputation for reliability, so I'm hoping for the best.
The Hyundai has the utility to move between point A and point B reliably, which is 95% of what we need to do. Why pay needless thousands 4 vanity and brief comfort? Snacks, adult options,TV, and the recliner are at the house, just get me home! Only spend 'em if you got 'em.
JimBo Headspace : very good point. This is a basic vehicle for people who just want a basic reasonably priced and basic reliable transportation and basically don’t really car about image, luxury perks....basically just point A point B machine.
Once again, an honest unbiased review....
Vehicle; it’s a inexpensive vehicle that can compete with others that cost 50% more, it’s basic but not cheap quality, just an affordable small family or couples car that works...
Recommended alternate title: "Hyundai now Selling Souls"
As a Soul owner, I love that Hyundai is also getting into this market.
I just HATE CVTs, that's gonna be a hard no for me. I want a transmission that will last.
My daughter has owned and is now looking again for a new Kia Soul. For $18,000 ($4,500 off MSRP) she can get all safety features, driver assistance (think, eyes), heated seats, push button start, navigation, etc. That is a lot of car for the money.
For a majority of the video I was confused to why "they" were making another Soul. It wasn't until I saw your comment, it clicked that the "they" was Hyundai and not Kia.
Excellent review. Hard to find such a thorough and fair review of an econo box without all the hate and BS from whiny mellinial reviewers. Sometimes it ain't about you son. Thanks for being a human!
@@FSAPOJake I agree. I cross-shopped the two and the Soul is much better, and the price difference isn't very great since Kia heavily discounts the Soul when you sit down with them. Especially the back seat is much roomier on the Soul and the space behind is much larger. HOWEVER the Venue has a lot of standard active safety assist like Forward Collision Warning, AEB, Lane Keep Assist, Land Departure Warning, all of which would seem to make it a great road trip car.
I love when cheaper cars are reviewed 😇🙂
This is an ideal car for your grandparents who don’t want or need all the tech.
Nice car
Why only grandparents ? I'm 45 & i drive the cheapest hatch in Europe , a Dacia Sandero Phase I . And i love it , it's the most reliable car i ever had . I cost me 7.000 USD & in 8 years nothing broke except for a window that wouldn't roll down (manual windows) wich they fixed with a lot of grease in the end ... I drive at most 7K miles a year so i don't need a fancy car . It's a groccery getter . Everything's hard plastics , no radio , manual everything & not even servo steering . Econobox but extremely reliable !! And i drove Toyota , Kia & Mazda so that's saying something on reliability ...
foudo13
GOOD NEWS ITS THE DACIA SANDERO!
Sorry I couldn’t resist.
I hear every one of your points, and you are right!
Love your logic!
Green Mills
Great point!
I been driving for over 32 years and I have no need for any of the BS driving aids and all the other nonsense. I currently have a 17 Hyundai Elantra GT hatchback and I actually enjoy it. Bought it used with under 28,000 miles on it for for under 12 grand. Pretty nice hatchback if you ask me.
Torsee because old people always need a crossover
As a Toyota tech I appreciate the simplicity of my Hyundai, it's nice when you don't need to remove plastic panels and have to use a filter cup for an oil change or don't totally tear your hands up swapping out light bulbs, I would buy one if I already don't have an Elantra Gt
Ah, yes, how could I forget my favorite song, "Hemorrhoids: Symptoms"? I'll have to give that classic a listen now.
Itchy anus PRESENTED BY DELL TECHNOLOGIES
I love all the Easter eggs they put into their videos. So funny!!!
Is that the new single of the band "Cattle Decapitation"? Or is it from the Band "R*ped by pigs?"
Perfect playlist for a naturally asspirated engine.
It’s what I like about this channel, because you get to see what’s under the car.
That back space just showcases what I typically dislike about these crossover vehicles. Need more wagons.
Wagons are ugly
lunisce disagree
@@lunisce I don't think so . But heck even a hatch is better than alot of these crossovers
Love the look, performance, and function of some German wagons.
@@lunisce no
You’re the only real reviewer on TH-cam! All the others are out for views and likes, but you give out real world information with quality videos! Hats off to you sir!
RIP Turbowski!
We all know turbowski is in a better place.. RIP
What Turbowski died?!
Love that you do affordable cars I've gotten many of my friends to watch this channel for that very reason
Love the intro music of the review. I would never consider ever buying a small CUV like the Venue, but I’ll watch this review anyway because of SavageGeese’s high quality and informative content. Keep it up!
I second that
@@jonathantyree8172 Motion carries. I'm going to need an inexpensive second vehicle, but this is too much (or too little).
Honestly if yourslooking at a vehicle like this new, you can get a much better vehicle used for the same price.
When you want a hatchback but it isnt top heavy enough, the all new Hyundai Venue!!!!
These cheap car reviews are way more entertaining than the expensive ones lol
This is a perfect vehicle for me and my 37 clown buddies.
You ain't kidding
I love Hyundai/Kia. So much respect for what they’ve done in the last decade. My wife drives a Sonata hybrid. There is no reason that SUV should exist.
For the younger with less money to spend for first vehicle.
Bextar636 There are so many more better options for an affordable first vehicle.
ADUSN BasedGod You haven’t been paying attention to Korean cars for a while have you?
I made the mistake of buying one of their shitboxes in 2011. Worst, most unreliable car I’ve ever owned. The incompetent dealer service network ensures the 100k mile warranty is nothing more than meaningless marketing fluff.
RampantShopper That was 10 years ago. My father in laws Toyota Camry has been in the shop more than it’s been on the road. My wife’s sonata hybrid has 130k trouble free miles. Sorry you had a bad experience but Hyundai/Kia are one of the most dependable cars you can buy now.
I am in my 30s. I test drove a fully loaded one yesterday and had lots of ice and show on the grow to play around with. It did pretty well. I am 98% sure I will go this weekend and pick it up. I liked the interior for the price. Felt like it was a great car for a daily driver. Small enough to get parking in NYC streets which was a big concern to me. Wife liked it as well as a commute car. Not much options at this price range with all the safety tech that it comes with. It will eventually be a great first car for my son in a few months to learn to drive. The safety tech and clear visibility will be a big plus to help him learn.
I like to watch SG videos while I eat dinner. I ate a big lunch today so i just heated up some ramen noodles for dinner. It turns out it was the perfect selection to go with the Hyundai Venue review. They are both cheap, you know what you're getting and they are reliable.
I'd prefer Soul over this. Same basic car, but Soul has character. Every time I see it on the road, it puts a smile on my face. The Venue looks like every small CUV out there.
The seltos is a bit more, but I would get it over the venue or soul. But since the soul looks so weird it makes sense for them to put a more normal looking car into the lineup for people that don't like the soul.
This is very important to anyone looking to purchase this car, and should be added to this video. The hatch has a cabin floor which lowers an extra 3 to 5 inches to give you extra crago room. I don't believe they knew this because it adds allot for the space in the back which is he's complaint. I do own this car now so I have a bias but I do love it, even works well in Canadian winters.
Tell me more about winter driving with it, i drive a 2015 rio manual with blizzak, work very well with the traction system and i would assume this one as a similar setup....
I truly appreciate your road test and opinions on affordable cars. I like how you are straight to the point and you don't ream the vehicle you are road testing. Keep up the good work! 😀
Love the brutal honesty
“Paper towels & toilet paper” I see what you did there 🤨
At the moment that stuff is pretty sought after - kids sorry I cannot pick you up from kindergarden, daddy has to bulk buy toilet rolls and I need to put the seats down.
He probably filmed that weeks/months ago
Major compliment ...for 2020 ive seen you upping the game on testing these vehicles.. Your showing a different eye in your reviews as of late and not following everyone else’s reviews and copying what they say. Thank u for that. I heard the good and the bad here equally.👍🏾.. not just all the good.
It is "just a car video" but I work in the wider field of healthcare her in Germany and this video really took the edge off my day and week, first thing that made me smile today. Amazing how you made an interesting and fun video about this car buy putting in a lot of detail but also good savage humor.
Intro nailed it. Review nailed it. Outro nailed it. Pretty pretty good.
The first 40 seconds killed me in a good way.
Drove a rental KIA for three weeks. It wasn't as awful as I thought it would be. Totally agree with Mark here. For the money, it's a good deal.
8:22 Ah yes, the Fast and the Furious gear box mode
A respect and appreciate you talking about affordable vehicle. I generally avoid "exotic" reviews but will always click on an economy video.
One time during "Driving Impressions" I wanna see him ripping down the road doing his best Rodney Dangerfield.
I don't think it looks ordinary. I think it is a brilliant work of industrial art.
I love the attention to detail you show us!
That Raiders fur collared jacket should be in a museum tbh.
I'm from india, I drive this car daily it is really quick, great handling, sounds really nice and very good looking car..122hp and 175nm of tourqe is more than enough for me..
I’m surprised you still get testers with the amount of trashing you do to the cars! Loving it
He didn't trash this vehicle. He was honest. Hyundai knows what this vehicle is and I bet nobody at Hyundai would be offended by anything he said.
B Fielder yeah imagine being offended that a reviewer says that your $18,000 msrp car lacks refinement and power
B Fielder it was the throwing a garbage container in the trunk that made me laugh
Didn't seem like he was trashing the car at all - criticisms were placed in the context of the price point and many compliments were given. What review were you watching?
Roger Pinnock what comments did you miss?
This was very helpful. I appreciate reviews that address the mechanics of the vehicle. Thank you
Watching this as an Indian, I release the stark difference between the aspirations of consumers in developing and developed countries. We are cost conscious, safety rating is only catching up and also mileage freaks. Our highest aspirations are alloy wheels, touch screen info system and chrome accessories.
I’m in love with this car well I think thank god for your review!!!
I lol’d at seeing the car next to your garbage bin. Keep up the humor my friend!
I always enjoy your videos whether it's an exotic or this venue. A lot of other reviewers I would skip a vehicle like this.
Very nice honest review, I can live with those little cons, I just want a simple cheap affordable car now coz I just got more poorer. 👍 Thanks for sharing.
I'm digging the new background muzak!!!
Love the Denim edition with the Blue interior!
I bet the folks at Hyundai weren't expecting someone to put a garbage can in their press car lol
I checked one out as a first vehicle for my daughter. Much to like and little to fault. Good visibility, easy driveability and sound safety tech. In black it looks pretty boring but the two tone paint schemes do wonders for this ride. Hard interior plastics are a given at this price point but the ergonomics are sound and the design is very good - it LOOKS like a nice place to be. I predict they will sell a boatload of these.
Best intro ever🔥
They programmed it to cut power during the “shifts.” You can hear it.
I don't get this, why go to all this bother making a cvt into a fake auto box and not just put in a damn auto box...
@@VeyronBD Because CVTs are cheaper to make and get better gas mileage, but consumers don't like how they sound.
@@VeyronBD remember, this is a scam on the customer. They make him believe it is an automatic, which would mean no clutch, no maintennance (at least for the first 100k miles), and no worries when it comes to driving style.
But in reality, CVT is way less durable, less efficient, more demanding in terms of cooling and adjusting driving habits.
CVT is cheaper to build and smaller, it also generates more revenue via servicing costs. Tricking a customer to believe he is buying/driving an automatic with torque convertor is a shameless scam.
Same applies to twin clutch gearboxes and single clutch automated manuals. Indecency.
I learned CVT characteristics from Gran Turismo 5 in 2010. Any fake shifting CVT is instantly trash to me.
@@waclosh but it clearly says CVT when you buy it
It’s lifted Accent/Soul
Kia and Hyundai know that USA market want cheap “suv” and they’re giving them that.
They however should really retire their old 1.6/2.0 Gamma engine (i know it’s one of most reliable engines but its too weak for heavy cars)
For good reason. I hate that CUVs are replacing sedans, BUT the Soul is a damn good little car. 90% the fuel economy of a Forte sedan (brick aerodynamics at speed hurt it a bit), snappy acceleration with the top engines, lots of room inside, and stupid easy to park and maneuver around the city. And to top it off they're reliable as all hell AND pack a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty and they're about the cheapest thing you can buy.
It makes what like 137hp in the new Soul? Considering it's a sub 2,800# vehicle, the power to weight ratio's not horrible. Basically the same as a Forte or Elantra. If that's not enough there's a LOT of cars on the road with worse ratios than that (Fit, Versa, Versa Note, Yaris, Corolla, Accent, Rio, etc).
@Jess Piedra I believe it. The 2.0L I have is about 8 seconds with it's 164hp and automatic.
Gotta love SG, Making intros that not only turn me on but make me very confused!
Grandad in the end earned you my like
Very nice review sir. I don't agree with you on all issues though: room. I think this Venue is for singles or elderlies like me (65) that have no children and will never install baby seats and don't shop 12 packs of 50 hygiene rolls at Costco or move their trash bins with their vehicle. And this Venue is also right for those who stay in town and don't leave it. I've started shopping for replacing my 2012 Rio with 70,000 km. But I think I will have much trouble finding a car that suits my needs. The 6 speed auto in the Rio takes full advantage of the 138 HP of the "old" GDI engine with surprising quietness. I can't picture myself flooring a vehicle all the time with that constant roaring. Actually I see myself in this Venue. Perfect size for me. Don't care that much for the plastic as long as it doesn't squeaks and sings like birds. As for the road noise, my Rio is not without fault here but has no wind noise. Do you think Hyundai would give the option of an auto trans or a more powerful engine. I think that between 30 mpg and 33 on highway, the difference is minimal. We're not talking of 26-33. I see much disappointments ahead for me...
Top notch musical taste my man.
The Hyundai Soul?
I thought you were gonna destroy this car by dissing it to the oblivion. This was actually really eye opening and made me appreciate why this car exists.
Solid, on a budget. Good review
Yes, please, keep reviewing normal cars and really talking about them and all their underpinnings. You are the best at talking about these cars. Even your corvette video where you showed all the problems with the C7. None of the other C7 reviews pointed out those shortcomings!
I really like the way this things looks from the front.
I read somewhere that this car builds off a modular Fisher-Price platform.
I like the way it looks. It reminds me a bit of the Mini Countryman
I just got back from a week long trip in Puerto Rico and ended up with one of these as a rental during my time there. I gotta say, I was so much more impressed with it than I thought i'd be. Compared to a lot of the other small, "crappy" rentals i've had in the past in other places (Chevy Sonic, VW Polo, Jeep Renegade) this seemed to be the best of the bunch. Coming from my V90 with the B&W system the audio system definitely surprised me. Bump up the treble and bass a bit and it's not half bad. The bass is still a bit muddy and you don't get much of the midtones, but overall I felt I was able to really jam along to my playlists. The rural mountain roads there are... anxiety-inducing, but it took the turns with ease aside from me having like 5hp to work with, it didn't complain too much. Visibility was good, the A-pillars are nice and thin, and the ride quality didn't seem half bad on the rougher roads I found myself on. MPG was about 31-ish mpg, which isn't terrible considering the driving conditions. My only qualm is that it's hideous. It's really just not a pretty car whatsoever... If I lived in a place with a lot of itty-bitty super winding country roads and was on a budget I would probably seriously consider this as an option next to the Mazda CX30 or a Mini.
I went to carmax with my friend and her mom, her mom wanted her to get a 2018 nissan versa for 12k. I was able to talk them in to a 2009 Acura TL V6 in amazing shape and she loves it. Its nicer safer faster and cooler plus it came out to less money with the carmax warranty than the POS manual window nissan versa. People on budget should look for older Acura and Lexus cars because your money goes so much farther. I just cant fathom spending 20k on a new car with crappy hard black plastic inside.
Loved the toilet paper reference
Could we get a video detailing how you do the sound quality comparisons? Collecting the sound, building the graphs/comparisons, etc?
I only look for cars with old very old technology, so I already like this.
In India we get the same car with a 1 litre GDI engine and an option of either a dct or a manual.
So perfect, simple is perfect.
i appreciate all the work you do to test the audio, but what do all those graphs mean??
I watched this right after the video of the Dodge Durango SRT, in which you really enjoyed the acceleration from those 392 cubic inches. So, this Hyundai gave you a big smile (🤷🏻♂️) in that regard too! And for a lot less money.
I like how they didn't even bother to clean it for the "hero" shot.
The thumbnail says it all
true
Please review the 2021 Seltos. My wife and I just purchased one and found it to be the best in value and overall fit&finish in its class. Always enjoy your reviews on attainable grocery-getters.
I appreciate how non elitist you are. As a car enthusiast it's so easy to talk shit about something like this. But you say it how it is and the truth is, it looks pretty decent for an average person who doesnt want to spend much money but also have the warranty and reliability of a new car. I have zero interest in something like this but I watched the whole thing anyways lol
I like how authentic and throaty the engine sounds
Not enough oiled up men in your review... 0/10 IGN
What’s the song at the final thoughts? That’s really good!
This Venue gonna sell a lot of posters at the scholastic book fair this fall!
Here in Canada, the base model is available with a manual shift. Which every one should select.
Great review and sideburn angle. Aff-Hoardable?
I think I would like this with a 6-speed manual. It's just a big hatchback really. Reminds me a little bit of my old first-generation Nissan Versa, in a way.
the intro music throws down harder than the Venue ever could
I am assuning this is the sister to the kia soul based on the cargo space. While the soul is a decent econo box it lacks cargo space. So it makes a good run about for someone that does not use the back seat for passengers.
Agreed. The Soul is ALMOST perfect. But it could definitely use like even just 6" more cargo room length. It would still be little and easy to park and manuever, but you could actually fit stuff back there.
I have the 2023 Venue. I like the old school vibe. That’s what I wanted. I have the top of the line one the Limited.
On the point review. Why bother reviewing unaffordable cars?
That intro was amazing. Who is that guy that hates you so much? All I know about him is that he drives corvettes, likes baby oil, and is addicted to cranking all day and night with his jungle juice battery pack. Liked and subscribed to the gooseman.
I really wanted a detailed exam of the 6MT version. Given that it's got dual port-injectors (don't think any other manufacturers is doing this), it'd be interesting to know if it can hyper-mill as well as my 2.0L 6MT Civic. If so, it'd be top on my list for a budget vehicle.
Lol that intro is epic
Can I tell you how awesome it is to have the underbelly accessibility? That approach is awesome for those who want to keep cars more than 200k miles
More fake shifting CVTs.......... I want that sewing machine sound.
And that $4,000 repair bill at 100,001 miles when the metal on metal friction surfaces fail. Meanwhile the traditional torque converter auto is exceeding 200,000.
Fake shifts don't help that, you just lose the benefit of staying at peak power while accelerating.
seems fine. i want one. i dont care about cars. i want cheap simple and reliable
For those who live in a city, this is not bad at all. Easy to park great MPG and you wouldn't really go on a rough surface with rear passengers so often. Otherwise, I think the powerful Kona is worth the upgrade.
What font do you use for your SAVAGE GEESE title?
Good grief. That’s what my 2019 gas Rav4 sounds like under acceleration and the car was almost $40k.
Cant wait for the Venue GT!!!
You mean Venue N
GT is kia “sporty line”
You fail at Hyundai/Kia group cinematic universe my friend
@@SaintMecha Fudge
It's cute and a good replacement for the Aspire or whatever Accent? I can't remember what it was.
Sneak peek at the next lower cost CUV review during the final thoughts? Hope you waved at some Wrangler owners.
I think you’re being a little harsh as far as interior space goes. This is obviously a tiny vehicle, shorter than my Soul, and Hyundai isn’t trying to hide, or be secretive about that. It reminds me of my old Scion XD, which I considered to be a marvel of packaging efficiency. For a single person or childless couple that rarely uses the rear, or even front, passenger seats, this will do fine. It may not have more space than any other subcompact crossover, but I don’t see it as much worse either.
I own an M4 CS and a fully restored Land Cruiser with solid front and rear axles. I love cars including the 2022 Venue Limited for its size, price (though $27K cash out the door is still real money esp accounting for income tax), warranty, free 3 year maintenance plan and overall packaging. It’s a perfect LA daily for valet parking in any strip mall with nary a worry. Superb long term stop and go traffic reliability with AC blasting. Peace of mind. Anonymous. Eschew Xpel, ceramic coatings, Clearplex because it just doesn’t matter. Focus on other things in life other than your prized enthusiast vehicle(s). Well done Hyundai-KIA!
Would you consider adding a decibels reading to your reviews? Thanks.
