Yes, considering its value for the price. The 2024 Hyundai Venue earns a TCC Rating of 5.8 out of a possible 10 for its spacious cabin and competitive warranty. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
What’s new for the 2024 Hyundai Venue?
This year’s Venue has just minor changes to the features list, for wider availability of cabin upgrades like keyless entry, push-button start, and second-row USB ports.
The squat, boxy Venue has endearing exterior styling best executed in bright colors, and a functional yet playful interior. It’s a simple car and doesn’t overwhelm with details. The Venue’s base SE, mid-tier SEL, and top Limited trims carry over, all powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT. Front-wheel drive is compulsory.
The Venue feels peppy around the city, but otherwise, performance is just adequate. The EPA’s rating of 31 mpg combined is good, though it falls short of the most efficient small cars.
The spacious cabin is the Venue’s best attribute, with good cargo capacity and enough room for adults in both rows. However, don’t count on squeezing three passengers across the rear bench.
Hyundai includes basic driver-assistance tech. The IIHS gives it a Top Safety Pick rating, but the NHTSA awards just four stars overall.
How much does the 2024 Hyundai Venue cost?
We expect prices to remain fairly consistent for 2024. That means the entry-level Venue SE will run you $21,000 and change, but another $2,000 or so gets you the SEL, which includes a ton of upgrades such as a sunroof, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, 17-inch alloy wheels, and some additional safety tech.
Where is the 2024 Hyundai Venue made?
In South Korea.
The 2024 Hyundai Venue packs a lot into its small footprint.
The Venue stretches only 159 inches from nose to tail, but that small shape hides a lot of interior space. It’s a 7, with points for its comfortable front seats and impressive cargo capacity.
The Venue comes standard with cloth upholstery, and the Limited trim gets a combination of denim and synthetic leather. While most of us found the front seats supportive and comfortable, some test drivers wished for more thigh padding.
The Venue’s tall roof easily accommodates taller drivers, although rear passengers will have to duck to climb in. The rear row offers 34.3 inches of legroom, and though the bench could use more padding, the seatback folds down to expand the roughly 19-cubic-foot cargo area to an impressive maximum of 32.0 cubic feet.
The overall fit and finish of our test vehicles impresses for a budget car.
Mixed results from crash testing complicate the Venue’s safety story.
How safe is the Hyundai Venue?
The IIHS and the NHTSA disagree. It’s an IIHS Top Safety Pick with the optional LED headlights, though the NHTSA rates it at four stars overall. That’s a TCC Rating of 7, also considering the Venue’s great outward vision and standard automatic emergency braking.
The Venue’s top trims offer automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitors, and active lane control.
Hyundai offers fantastic value with the 2024 Venue.
At a starting price just over $20,000, the 2024 Hyundai Venue SE brings a lot to the table. Standard fare includes an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and power features. Hyundai includes three years or 36,000 miles of scheduled maintenance with the 5-year/60,000-mile warranty. That adds up to a TCC Rating of 8.
Which Hyundai Venue should I buy?
The Venue SEL presents the best value, adding automatic climate control, a power sunroof, blind-spot monitors, and alloy wheels for about $2,000 more.
How much is a fully loaded Hyundai Venue?
The Venue Limited at about $24,000 adds exterior LED lighting, navigation, keyless start, and heated front seats.
