Great comparison review! Good honest reactions. Just got a Venue Limited and was wondering about its direct competition. Glad i got it.
Thank you!
Enjoy your ride.
Just bought a Hyundai Venue SEL and I absolutely love it!
❤️
Great review...so enjoyed it! I'm taking ownership of a red limited Venue next week...very excited.
Nice!
I like the Venue but the it is around a foot shorter in length and has like 6 cubic foot less cargo space. Plus on the Hyundai Venue you cannot get rear automatic braking, 360 surround view cameras, heated steering wheel, LED fog lights, adaptive cruise control or the Bose audio. Plus again the Venue is much smaller. They both look great in my opinion and I love the Denim interior on that Denim Blue and contrast White Venue which is still available on the 2024 Denim Limited. But I like the Gray and Black interior with Orange stitching on the Kicks as its sharp. I love the Bose audio system with headrest speakers in the Kicks. I looked at both vehicles and drove both the same day on dealer lots and the loaded 2023 Hyundai Venue Limited (MSRP $24,500.00) and the loaded 2023 Nissan Kicks SR Premium (MSRP $26,130.00) only had like $1,600.00 difference in price. That additional $1,600.00 for the loaded Kicks gets you much nicer features and a larger vehicle. The one main benefit the Venue has is the Hyundai 10/100,000 mile warranty vs the Kicks 5/60,000 mile warranty. But for me I trade every 2 to 3 years and I never exhaust the warranty on any vehicle I have ever owned so it made no difference to me.
In the end I chose and bought my brand new Kicks in October 2023 and got a 2023 Nissan Kicks SR with the $1,390.00 Premium Package, Carpeted Floor Mats and Carpeted Cargo Mat, 4 Set Splash Guards and the special charge Boulder Gray paint color and my MSRP on the Window Sticker was $26,130.00. Nowhere could I find a better value new vehicle for the price with all the features the top trim Kicks had. No where. Plus the Kicks is loaded with safety features and 10 airbags even on the base trim Kicks S! One feature absolutely wanted was a 360 camera and that is hard to find under $30,000.00 but the Kicks SR had it. Also the rear automatic braking works like a charm when parking in tight quarters and it will not let you bang into anything it stops you each and every time and its fun to test it for the fun of it lol even creeping back super slow it stops you. I am extremely happy with my Kicks and will definitely but another Kicks in 2 years and by then the bugs should be worked out of the all new fully redesigned Kicks coming out this summer! Its super sharp and upscale.
Oh I love the boxy look I liked it so much I ordered one in scarlet red Pearl 2022 Limited I’m excited only thing is there’s a chip shortage and it’s gonna be a while before I can get it
Enjoy!
Thanks for thie review. I think i will by the Venue.👍🏻
Good choice. Really loving Hyundai products here lately.
Nice review… I have a Kicks. Next time I will check out the Hyundai.
Both are fun little cars. Thanks for watching.
Car insurance won’t offer full coverage on venue
I BOUGHT A VENUE ,I LOVE IT QUALITY QUALITY AND SHARP LOOKS, MINI SUV COOL.
We really loved this one.
Ground clearance goes to the kicks and outside of America you can get the e power hybrid
You are the first to seem interested in the ground clearance 😂
Venue is also great for a retired couple.
👍🏼
I LIKE IT TOO!!!!!🤩🙌
🤩
I love the Nissan Kicks!!
😍
We have a newer review coming soon. Compared it to the Toyota Corolla Cross
Thanks! I'll watch!!

Love the way hyundai Venue drive
same here
Venue. all day. i had one as a rental and loved it. given Nissan's CVT history and JATCO's unreliability, the Kicks is a no-go if i ever were to shop between the two.
👍🏼
Stumbling across an old video of ours, I like it. 😉
So I was stuck between a Venue and Kicks, and I've been in a kick and it was just ok but need a crossover. I saw the Venue and it seemed legit but Hyundai used to be bad, now they are great but now that I've seen an honest review I think I'm going to test drive one tomorrow and hopefully get it
Glad we could help! Hope you find a vehicle you love!
How did it go
is a hyundai vunue good for someone just getting out of college
Yes, without a doubt.
@@GTGarageTalk so someone just out of college could financially afford it with little to no financial help from parents
kia has the sonnet that is comparable to the venue but sadly is not available in n.america. 😕
In America, we have the Soul
I like the Venue better, but the Kicks has more features, but that cvt scares me
The CVT is the Achilles heel.
I love my kicks 💙
What is the Kicks demographic again?
Young first time buyers
These guys sound like Bob & Doug McKenzie
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks?
I'm not sure if the Nissan kicks addressed most of his old concerns...
🤷🏼♂️
The Venue also has a mechanical handbrake.
👍🏼
My car insurance won’t insure a venue
Because of the theft? You may check back, Hyundai has issued recalls and fixed the issue.
@@GTGarageTalk I’m assuming it’s a comprehension they won’t cover and that’s for theft and vandalism. Geico said no.
They told me they were not offer the comprehensive coverage which covers for theft and vandalism. They ran the VIN. It was for a 2022 and from what I read, it wasn’t even one of the model years effective. But I have enough going on and I wasn’t going to try to change car insurance
This is from geico.
Which one y’all like?
Both, but the Venue was our fav
These are CUVs NOT SUV
SUV- Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango, Toyota Highlander etc
CUV- Jeep Compass, Kia Soul, Nissan Kicks, Fiat 500L etc.
people get them mixed up all the time.
You don’t call a Honda Fit a full size sedan.
And what would you say are the distinguishing differences? Size? Because all the vehicles you listed are unibody construction.
I just think the venue is ugly. That’s a personal esthetics opinion.
And a valid opinion to have.
