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 small suv without awd. The Limited Trim has heated seats, heated mirrors, Apple Play, keyless entry, and all of the other niceties that make it feel way better than say a Chevy Spark or Mitsubishi Mirage. I'm only 5'5" so the ability to see comfortably without totally relying on technology. I live in the NW and it's handling our weather rain, fog, light snow, and ice terrific. No, it will not win any races but it will keep up with our traffic just fine. (I drive a mix of hwy and city for my 15-mile commute.) Most of all I find it fun to drive! Again, it's not a sports car, but still zippy enough and really easy to park. Do yourself a favor and drive one.You'll be glad you did. Fell like this pruchase ticks all of the boxes I wanted without being too much vehicle that I'm not using as intended. Fingers-crossed for many happy miles ahead.

Love the car, but had some issues

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 seats fold down easily to create a lot more space for cargo, day trips, vacations, etc. One little issue I did have: my steering was very wonky. It veered consistently to the right, even on straight roads. I played with the lane assist to see if that was the culprit, but it was not. I ended up getting the car serviced 3 times in 2 weeks (all under warranty, thanks Hyundai!) and, according to the shop, it was not the tire alignment nor the electric steering components causing the problem. The shop ended up cross-rotating my tires and that solved the issue. I'm glad to be back on the road in a car that I love, however this issue came up before I had even reached 1500 miles. I am not sure if this was a manufacturer defect or not, but it didn't taint my appreciation for this vehicle. I am more curious if this has happened to anyone else. Overall, a solid car, good gas mileage, and with Hyundai's warranty, you really won't have to worry about much.

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 your lack of attraction to folk of a compatible sexual orientation. It will provide excellent to astonishing gas mileage, if driven reasonably: high 30's to low 40's. Adjusted for inflation and earnings growth, cheaper than my '66 VW beetle. No compromise in fun to drive. Hurtle through corners, downshift at the early apex, accelerate through. Much fun. Not quite as much road feel as I would like, it's Asian. I loved my '78 Rabbit, when it ran. The Venue is a better all around package. And it's even a bit shorter.

First car for Daughter
First Hyundai, 10/06/2023
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 of free scheduled maintenance, we found this to be best value. Terrific visibility. Latest safety features (collision warnings, lane assist, blind-spot monitors, airbags, etc, etc). Engine is spunky -- more than adequate on both highway and around town. Don't believe everything you read (and I don't want her going that fast anyway). Interior is very nicely appointed with great seats, good materials, nice radio w/phone interface, sun-roof, digital dash, etc. Seems much bigger than it is, particularly in front seat. Good on gas. Also very pleasantly surprised with ride and overall build quality. No keyless entry, phone charging pad, or auto dimming rear-view mirror are among my biggest gripes - should be there at mid-level trim. Definitely worth a test drive if this is your market. Impressive little car.

A very sound review from Edmunds. Like most reviews, though, the mere adequacy of power lowers the reviewer's appreciation of the fun. There's a nice, twisting road near the Ramapo Mountains, US Route so adequately maintained. Local yokels enjoy driving this in pretty sporty cars. So do i, in my Red SEL. Nothing silly, but when the road is clear... No problem keeping up with cars twice or thrice the price, its a driver's test, not an acceleration test. Uphill? Doesn't matter: there's always a lumbering delivery van logging up at 40 followed by frustrated Macan drivers. For interstates, maintaining 70 is OK, I guess places where that's slow might not be so pleasant. Fuel economy? Driven reasonably, about 40, carefully about 45. Stop and Start: laws of Physics apply, low 30s. Not a car for a family of 4 carrying lots of stuff. A Couple and their stuff making tha Ann Arbor - Seattle run, why not? After fill ups I notice an estimated range of 400+, with a reserve. How's your bladder?

Cute little car. Affordable. Has many features. Like Hyundai for free oil changes, etc. My cell phone doesn't charge in wireless charging area because its an older phone.

Consumer reports said to much wind noise, uncomfortable seats ,.well let me say the seats are not uncomfortable,only hear wind noise when front window is open an you can fix that by opening rear windows down about an inch.an not everyone has a lot of money to spend so buying this new at under 25,000 with alot of features this is a great buy.

Like my Venue but the GPS has not worked from day one. Been to the dealer 3 times. Takes 50 days to get a service appointment at most dealerships. This car was purchased new.
