2024 Hyundai Venue Review

Known for its value at an affordable price, the 2023 Venue attracted many buyers. For 2024, Hyundai hasn’t changed that formula, and that’s a good thing.

This budget buy has one of the best pricing schemes among cars today. 2024 Venue prices are still around the $20,000 mark. Shoppers choose from the entry level SE, midtier SEL or top tier Limited.

New for 2024, two more audio speakers are standard on all trims. This gives you six speakers, ensuring better sound in the new Hyundai Venue.

In a first for the Venue, SEL trims gain second-row USB ports. If your friends travel with you, they will appreciate the ability to plug in their smartphone. For families, their tweens or teens, can keep devices charged.

Push button start adds another convenience to the Venue SEL cockpit. A Proximity Key allows for fast entries and exits. Yet the Venue SEL price is still extremely affordable.

The first reason that shoppers choose the SE is to save the absolute most at purchase. Fortunately this budget decision is a good one for value as well. It covers all the important aspects of modern living from its safety features to its infotainment system.

In this Hyundai small SUV, drivers have a six-way adjustable seat. Additionally, it slides and reclines. Plus the driver can adjust the height. The passenger seat slides and reclines while second-row seats can recline. Tinted glass helps keep out some of the sun’s harmful rays.

Venue SE features include keyless entry, USB ports, duplicate audio controls on the steering wheel, and generous driver assistance features. Instead of heavier steel wheels, alloy wheels are standard.

The driver benefits from a full touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This allows you to connect to your favorite entertainment through your favorite smartphone apps. HD Radio is another tech standard on the SE.

The Venue SEL attracts many shoppers with its longer list of amenities. Supple leather covers the steering wheel and shift knob in softness. A second color scheme adds to your ability to personalize your ride.

A power sunroof opens up the cabin on our cool winter mornings and automatic temperature controls cool you off fast on our hot summer days. Roof rails add a touch of utility to the exterior.

Another reason to pick the SEL is the increase in driver assistance. To help keep you out of harm’s way, a blind spot collision warning will activate whenever you turn on your blinker to change lanes. A rear cross traffic warning helps prevent a collision when the Venue is backing out of a parking spot.

The Limited trim offers much more technology and additional amenities. However, many people gravitate to this Venue trim because it has an available two-tone roof and the most interesting interior style choices.

Exterior features include LED headlights, LED tail lamps, and heated dual-power adjustable mirrors. A chrome grille and black roof rails dress up the look.

Tech toys include a wireless charger, dual second-row USB ports, and Sirius XM. Hyundai upgrades the touchscreen with navigation. A power-heat capability makes the front seats more comfortable during a cold winter.

Upgraded, the forward collision system uses both cameras and radar. This sensor fusion ensures maximum accuracy. In addition to pedestrians, the system can detect cyclists. Check with our Gilbert AZ Hyundai dealership to learn about Venue specials and financing offers.

With the amount of driver assistance that is standard on this small SUV, it is surprising that Hyundai can keep the price so affordable. There is a Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist to help drivers stay out of scenarios where many crashes happen.

This camera-based system includes Pedestrian Detection. That helps drivers avoid hitting someone who walks into the street. A lane departure system includes a lane keeping assist. This helps new Hyundai Venue drivers stay within the marked lines.

To keep you alert, there is a driver attention warning. Assisting you at night, the high beams can raise and lower as needed. It has a rearview camera to help with parking.

Families will find the Venue has plenty of features that parents need. You can be sure it has LATCH attachments to allow for two carseats on the two rear outboard seats or one carseat in the middle second-row seat.

A rear occupant alert will sound when you stop the vehicle and open the door. It helps ensure that caregivers remember kids in the backseat. Rear-seat child locks allow the driver to control when children exit the vehicle.

The second row has just over 38 inches of headroom and 34 inches of legroom. This makes it a good spot for your tweens or teens. Plus they now have rear-facing USB ports to hook up their smart devices.

Although this is a subcompact SUV, the cargo area is a helpful 18.7 cubic feet. That’s much bigger than a typical small car trunk. Your rear seatback can split 60/40 for cargo purposes. That expands the cargo space to 37 cubic feet.

The 121-horsepower engine offers plenty of kick for highway speeds. Front-wheel drive is standard.

Fuel economy is excellent at 29 mpg city and 33 mpg on the highway. This helps your budget month after month. Plus you don’t need premium fuel to achieve these good numbers. Regular unleaded will do the job.

With its affordable price, down payments and monthly payments should be lower. The long list of technologies, especially driver assistance, ensures that you are getting a product that will stand the test of time.

Plus it has long warranties that offer peace of mind. You can pay five times the cost of the new Hyundai Venue and not get coverage like this.

There’s up to five years of Limited coverage, an additional two years compared to most vehicles. There’s up to ten years of powertrain coverage, doubling the coverage found on other vehicles. Plus you have roadside assistance, should you need it. This is available for up to five years of ownership.
