The Venue is Hyundai's entry-point SUV, sitting below the Kona. Built on a Hyundai i20 platform, it is aimed squarely at first-time buyers and city commuters who want the SUV look at a city-car price.

What you are buying

A 1.6 L naturally aspirated petrol four making 90 kW and 151 Nm, paired with a six-speed automatic (or manual on the entry trim), driving the front wheels. The Active spec adds the upgraded touchscreen, the rear camera, and the larger wheels.

Cartell Assessment

The Venue is the cheapest SUV way into the Hyundai brand. It is honest, well-equipped for the money, and the Hyundai service network is the country's broadest at this price point.
