Thanks to the 2024 Hyundai Venue, a new car might just be within your reach.
A small multi-purpose vehicle that Hyundai sells as a crossover SUV, the 2024 Venue has a base price of $21,275, including the destination charge. Three versions are available, each equipped with a 121-horsepower four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. It holds four adults (five if you squeeze) and can carry up to 31.9 cubic feet of cargo. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and the Venue includes important safety features. You can expect 31 mpg in combined driving.
Verdict: One of the best things about the Venue is the value it provides. You get a long warranty with roadside assistance, complimentary scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, and with the top trim level, lifetime access to connected services. Affordable to buy and own, the 2024 Hyundai Venue is a budget-friendly choice.
8/10
Hyundai sells the 2024 Venue in SE, SEL, and Limited trim levels, with prices ranging from $21,275 to $24,525, including the $1,375 destination charge. We recommend an upgrade to a Venue SEL ($23,275) at a minimum because it looks better on the outside and adds desirable convenience and important safety features.
Our test vehicle had Limited trim, Ecotronic Gray paint, and a set of carpeted floor mats, bringing the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) to $24,735. There aren’t many options for the Venue, so pushing that sticker price past $25,000 isn’t easy. Gray isn’t the Venue’s most expressive color, but it gives the rather jaunty little hatchback a more mature and subdued appearance. As affordable cars go, the design is appealing with a sense of genuine style, something that can’t always be said for basic transportation.
Inside, the 2024 Venue’s interior features plenty of hard plastic, but it doesn’t look egregiously cheap. Again, examples of unexpected style include the stripes and piping on the seats, and the white trim surrounding the dashboard air vents and the transmission shifter on the center console.
The test vehicle’s digital instrumentation was an unexpected treat, and the 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display is properly sized for the Venue. All of the controls exhibit typical Hyundai quality regarding finishes, markings, and operation. The 2024 Venue comes across as a thoughtfully designed, stylishly detailed, and high-quality small SUV.
5/10
Hyundai equips the Venue with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine making 121 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque. That isn’t much, but the Venue doesn’t weigh a lot, tipping the scales at 2,612 pounds in base SE trim. In addition, an agreeable continuously variable transmission (CVT) does a good job of maximizing the available power, so it can scoot along without any trouble.
Still, the Venue is most at home in cities and suburbs, where you’ll appreciate its small park-it-anywhere size, nimble handling, and excellent outward visibility. In addition, at lower speeds, the engine operates at a more relaxed pace, so you’re less likely to notice the Venue’s lack of power or the droning from the CVT.
Rough and irregular pavement, such as speed bumps, potholes, and railroad tracks, results in unsophisticated suspension behavior. Due to the MacPherson strut front and torsion-beam rear axle suspension, you may experience a busy ride quality, structural shudders, and other discomforting sensations or noises. This vehicle prefers smooth, well-maintained pavement.
Head out on the highway with one person aboard, and the Venue can confidently match the pace of freeway traffic by the end of the on-ramp. It also climbed a mountain grade without dropping below the 65-mph speed limit. However, the CVT and buzzy four-cylinder engine sound awful when you press harder on the accelerator pedal. Adding a few hundred pounds of extra passengers or cargo can’t possibly result in good things.
Hyundai does not offer all-wheel-drive (AWD) on the Venue. Instead, the power flows to the front wheels, calling into question the automaker’s claim this is a crossover SUV. However, it does provide 6.7 inches of ground clearance, so if you install a set of winter tires, it will clear more accumulated snow than a typical car while plowing ahead to your destination without AWD.
Regarding fuel economy, the 2024 Venue earns an EPA gas mileage rating of 31 mpg in combined driving. On our mountainous Southern California testing loop, it averaged 30.3 mpg. We expected better, and are sure you would, too.
6/10
The Venue’s increased ground clearance also means the crossover sits higher off the road than a car, and that makes it easier to get into and out of the front and back seats.
Comfort is decent, despite the Venue’s small dimensions. The test model’s driver’s seat had a manual height adjuster, and the steering wheel offered tilt-and-telescopic adjustment. Both front seats featured appealing fabric inserts, artificial leather bolsters, and heated cushions to ward off the chill during cold weather.
Technically, the back seat accommodates three people, but two will be happier. Taller passengers will dislike the hard plastic front seatbacks, though. Hyundai provides USB ports for rear-seat riders, but storage space is limited, and there aren’t any air conditioning vents. Also, the Venue lacks dark-tinted rear privacy glass, so if you carry infants in this Hyundai, make sure you install rear window shades to keep Mr. Sun out of their eyes.
In front, there is decent stash space for such a small vehicle, and Hyundai includes a useful shelf on the dashboard in front of the passenger. Cargo room is on par with a typical compact car, and if you pack to the roof the trunk will hold 18.7 cubic feet of cargo. Fold the back seat down, and the Venue ferries up to 31.9 cubic feet of whatever you can squeeze into it.
7/10
In the middle of the dashboard, Hyundai mounts an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display. It features modern graphics, logical menu structures, and simple operation. Below the screen are stereo volume and radio tuning knobs framing a row of buttons providing quick access to commonly used functions.
Standard features include Bluetooth connectivity with music streaming, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluelink connected services, and a six-speaker sound system. Upgrade to the Venue Limited, and you get a navigation system, SiriusXM satellite radio, a wireless smartphone charger, and Bluelink+, which provides access to the connected services for as long as the original owner has the Venue.
Unfortunately, the better-equipped version of the infotainment system also switches you from wireless to wired versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is a step down. That also makes the wireless charger less helpful since you’ll need to plug your phone in anyway.
Despite this odd quirk, we found the Venue Limited’s infotainment system to be more sophisticated than expected, and it comes with an impressive native voice recognition system. Since we kept forgetting to bring a USB cable, we effortlessly streamed music through Apple Music and Pandora during my week of test-driving. Considering the youthful consumers who might find the Venue appealing, it deserves better stereo speakers.
7/10
Every 2024 Venue has Hyundai SmartSense, a collection of driver assistance systems. They include forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, a driver monitoring system, and a rear-seat reminder system.
Starting with the Venue SEL, SmartSense adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Cyclist detection is standard with Limited trim. Adaptive cruise control or lane-centering assist are not available on the 2024 Venue.
Those omissions left us with little to evaluate. The lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist systems produced a few inaccurate alerts and responses during our time with the SUV, and the forward-collision warning issued one incorrect warning while driving on an intermittently shady street toward the morning sun. Otherwise, we found little about which to complain.
If a collision occurs, the Venue does a decent job of protecting its occupants. Just keep in mind that some crash test results are valid only when an accident occurs with a similarly sized vehicle in the same weight class. Most other cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road are larger and weigh more than the Venue.
With that in mind, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) says the Venue gets Good ratings in three different crash tests, coupled with an Acceptable rating for the Limited trim level’s brighter LED headlights. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives the 2024 Venue an overall rating of four stars instead of the top five-star rating.
10/10
When you’re buying a new vehicle in the Venue’s price class, cost-effectiveness is of paramount importance. From the purchase price, fuel economy, and warranty coverage to the thoughtful perks that can make owning an entry-level model more rewarding, these factors can make or break a decision.
Fortunately, the 2024 Hyundai Venue is an extremely cost-effective choice. While its fuel economy ratings are unimpressive, this Hyundai offers a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile standard warranty, and a five-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance plan. Hyundai sweetens the deal with three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance.
Bluelink connected services are complimentary for three years. Choose the Venue Limited and you get Bluelink+, which provides free connected services for as long as the original owner keeps the Venue.
No other entry-level model can touch these benefits. But that doesn’t mean appealing alternatives don’t exist. Recommended rivals include the stylish Buick Envista, affordable Chevrolet Trax, and funky Kia Soul. We’re less likely to suggest the 2024 Nissan Kicks, but the redesigned 2025 Kicks looks promising.
Ultimately, you want the best bang for your hard-earned buck. Hyundai backs the Venue with impressive protection against breakdowns and repairs while giving you free services you would pay for with a different model. For that reason alone, it is worth your consideration.
Fortunately, there is more to the Hyundai Venue than just a great deal.

I have asked two Venue owners of their opinions.
Both had positive things to say.
Is there a reason there are none with AWD?Aug 16, 2024

My new car has features on it, I did not know about prior to visiting the dealer. The car is very comfortable and has remote start with push button. In addition to the glove box it has a shelf above it where you can keep things you may need handy as you go about your day. The SEL model has the sun roof which is a really nice addition. The back seats fit down flat; creating a larger cargo area than you would expect. I have never had dual climate control zones and this car does not have it. This is comparable to the Honda HRV, the Buick Encore, and the Nissan Kicks. I liked this better because the seats do lay flat. The blind spot monitor is a great feature and it has surprised me when other cars get close when parking. It lets me know. The Kicks and Encore had a big difference from cargo back to the seat area and they did not lay flat. Not sure on HRV as I did not try one.Feb 17, 2024
