2021 Hyundai Venue Trims Comparison

2021 Venue trim level differences

The 2021 Venue is the most affordable SUV in Hyundai's already value-oriented lineup. It comes in three trim levels: SE, SEL and the stylish Denim trim. Highlight features include:

SE
Starts you off with:

  • 121-hp four-cylinder engine
  • Continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT)
  • Front-wheel drive
  • Automatic headlights
  • 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels
  • 8-inch touchscreen display
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Four-speaker sound system
  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if the driver doesn't respond in time)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the car back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

SEL
The midtier SEL includes the SE features and adds:

  • 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
  • Center storage box with sliding armrest
  • Automatic climate control
  • Additional USB port
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Normal, Sport and Snow drive modes
  • Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle behind you is about to cross your vehicle's path while in reverse)

One option package is available on the SEL:

Premium package

  • LED front and rear lighting
  • Heated front seats
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Power sunroof
  • Keyless entry and push-button start
  • Navigation system
  • Hyundai's Bluelink Connected Car system (includes a variety of communication functions, such as remote locking and automatic emergency assistance)

Denim
The Denim trim includes almost all of the above. It also has:

  • Two-tone blue and white paint (the only available color)
  • Simulated leather and cloth seating

Which 2021 Venue trim does Edmunds recommend?

Because the Venue Denim provides less in the way of choice, we recommend the SEL trim level. It offers the greatest blend of value, equipment and color choice. For 2021, the Venue SEL further sweetens the deal with 17-inch alloy wheels and a blind-spot collision avoidance system with rear cross-traffic collision avoidance warning as standard equipment.
