Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

10/21/2022

When you're short on cash, you face a choice: Keep driving your old car and repairing it when it breaks down, or get a loan and take on payments for a new car that will likely give you trouble-free motoring for years. That's where the 2023 Hyundai Venue shines brightest, serving as an entry-level vehicle with a sense of style, some extra utility, modern technology and a long warranty. And now that the company has sent its Accent sedan off to that big automotive scrapyard in the sky, the Venue is the most affordable way to buy a new Hyundai.

Hyundai calls the 2023 Venue a crossover SUV, but it doesn't offer all-wheel drive or much in the way of extra ground clearance. Plus, it has barely enough power to accelerate out of its own way, so towing or carrying lots of cargo is ill-advised. However, the Venue offers plenty of value thanks to a generous list of features, excellent warranty and free scheduled maintenance program. Plus, like other Hyundai models, the Venue displays uncommon quality for the price.

There are other low-priced SUVs available, such as the Kia Soul, Nissan Kicks and Toyota C-HR, but the Venue deserves serious consideration in its segment. Check out our test team's Expert Rating for a detailed review of the Venue's performance, comfort and more.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

7.4

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Hyundai Venue on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7/10

How does the Venue drive? From behind the wheel, the Venue is perfectly adequate across the board. You'll have no issue commuting, running errands, or taking a cruise to the beach or lake. Acceleration is about average for this class, which is not fast by most accounts. At our test track, the Venue needed 9.4 seconds to get up to 60 mph.

But it's good where it counts for a small city runabout, responding quickly right off the line, with its CVT automatic and easy brakes providing a pretty smooth driving experience overall. It's definitely not an athletic SUV, but its small size keeps it nimble and kind of fun to zip around corners.

Comfort

7/10

How comfortable is the Venue? You might assume based on its small size and low cost of entry that the Venue lacks comfort. Thankfully that's not the case. It's far from a luxurious experience, but the Venue fares well even compared with some larger rivals in its class. The front seats have a nice balance of cushion and support. The rear bench cushion is a bit flat, but there's a good recline to the backrest. Ride comfort can be tricky to maintain in smaller vehicles, but the Venue won't beat you up even on longer trips.

The climate control is single-zone only, which makes sense given the Venue's size, and we found it sufficient for keeping the cabin cool. There is some wind and road noise at highway speeds, but it's nothing out of the ordinary for this class.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Venue's interior is practical, and passenger space is better than expected given its short length. It achieves this relative spaciousness through its upright seating. As long as you're not much taller than 6 feet, you should find the Venue relatively accommodating in front and cozy but livable in back. The squared-off doors make it pretty easy to get in and out of.

The simplicity of the Venue keeps it easy to use. The 8-inch infotainment touchscreen is bright, responsive and easy to use. All other controls, buttons and knobs are clearly labeled and arranged logically. Forward and side visibility is pretty good, but your over-the-shoulder view is hampered somewhat by the thick rear roof pillars. The available blind-spot warning system certainly helps alleviate this issue when switching lanes.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Venue has just the right amount of technology, and it's easy and straightforward to use. The available six-speaker sound system produces surprisingly good sound that's clear and has a nice amount of punch. The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment/navigation system comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. The navigation system is very reminiscent of today's smartphones in look and feel, and real-time traffic information is nice to have.

The advanced safety and driver aids work but seem a bit oversensitive. It's worth noting that adaptive cruise is not offered on the Venue in case that's an important feature on your list.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? The Venue is small, so there's only so much you can physically fit inside. We think it makes excellent use of the space it does have, however. There's 18.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats (31.9 cubic feet with rear seats folded), which we found sufficient for everyday use.

The cargo area offers a couple of cool things: an adjustable load floor and a stowable cargo cover. The loading area has a wide opening and low loading height to make it easy to get things in. Up front, there's a sufficient amount of storage space for your personal items. As for child duty, the Venue's car seat anchor points are clearly marked on the seatback and easy to access. But the lack of rear legroom will make it hard to fit a larger rear-facing child safety seat.

Fuel Economy

7.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Venue's fuel economy at 31 mpg combined (29 city/33 highway), a pretty efficient estimate for this class. But we found it tough to match that in our real-world driving. On our highway-heavy 115-mile evaluation route, we averaged a mere 29 mpg. Perhaps it was due to our need to keep up with the flow of California traffic, but we suspect the EPA figures are a bit optimistic for a Venue roaming in the wild.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Venue a good value? Good value? No. We'd call this an excellent value. The Venue is well built and relatively practical. For what you pay, Hyundai packs in a lot of features. Some vehicles start where the Venue tops out on price and don't have the same amount of tech.

Hyundai's warranty is best in class, with five-year/60,000 bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage. Roadside assistance is provided for five years with no mileage limit, and all Hyundais now come with free scheduled maintenance for three years/36,000 miles.

Wildcard

7/10

Is it fun to drive? Not really. The Venue is very utilitarian and that seems to be the core focus. The styling of the Venue is also rather nondescript, blending into the sea of subcompact SUVs. If you want something more distinctive, look elsewhere, at perhaps Mazda's CX-30 or even Kia's Soul or Seltos.

2023 Hyundai Venue trim level differences

The 2023 Venue is Hyundai's most affordable crossover SUV. It comes in SE, SEL and Limited trim levels, each equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (121 horsepower, 113 lb-ft of torque). A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) powers the front wheels, and the Venue does not offer an all-wheel-drive system. Standard equipment highlights include: Compare the 2023 Hyundai Venue trim levels in-depth.

Which Venue trim does Edmunds recommend?

Of the Hyundai Venue's three trim levels, we think the SEL offers the best blend of value and equipment. It includes desirable upgrades over the base SE trim, such as 17-inch alloy wheels, a power sunroof and additional driver assist features.

My 1st Hyundai, 03/12/2023

2023 Hyundai Venue Limited 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)

I just purchased the Limited Edition (Denim) and am so happy with it. First of all, I don't understand the "professional" reviews that want to compare it with something that cost thousands more and should be amazing for what you just paid! The Venue is an honest, efficient, comfortable small car. SUV? If that means taller hatchback with great visibility then yes, this is the best very …

2023 Hyundai Venue Limited 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)

I've owned a 2023 Venue Limited for the past 2 months. I absolutely love the car. The interior design is sleek and comfortable, the display and connectivity is great. On the slow side when it comes to acceleration, but sport mode can definitely change that (I also came from driving a Veloster turbo...) No sunroof, which isn't a deal breaker to me. Not so roomy in the trunk, however the …

The best of a small market

2023 Hyundai Venue SEL 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)

All cars are compromised. That's what makes them fun. My Venue is the best compromise I've ever owned (15+ vehicles). But it is a limited compromise. It will not waft you from New York to Chicago in effortless comfort. It will not serve as a vacation car for a family of four. It will not rocket up the left lane of the steep climb on 287 up from New Jersey. It will not compensate for …

2023 Hyundai Venue SEL 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)

Recently purchased as a first car for my daughter -- really didn't want to buy new, but the ridiculousness of the used car market pushed me in this direction. Glad that it did. Never shopped Hyundai before. Came away impressed. We drove most everything in segment (Chevy, Kia, Honda, Mazda, Volkswagen). They were all really good. Due to combo of styling, price, safety, warranty, and 3-yrs …
