Would you consider a Hyundai Venue? If not, what would you buy instead? For those that like my '80s/'90s car videos, don't worry, more are coming! Occasionally manufacturers let me borrow new cars and I simply can't pass up the opportunity! If you like my '80s/'90s videos, there will be a new one next week. Thanks for your support! :)
We still get the Accent hatchback up here in Canada...so that would be my first choice from them. I'm a big fan of Hyundai and of cheap and basic cars, so I would prefer that a CUV. That being said, the Venue and Kona are only CUVs I would consider buying right now because they are still small and more car-like. I like the fact that you can get the Venue with a manual transmission still in base trim, as I love driving stick. The Venue is pretty much just a Hyundai Accent underneath. It's the same platform and drivetrains, I believe.
I have been thinking about replacing my wife’s 2008 Saab. It is still a great car and runs awesome but it just has so many little problems that are going to be expensive to fix. One of them being a rather large oil leak. I’m thinking of getting her the new Nissan versa but may consider this after watching your video thanks dude!
Can we get the Kia Rio hatch here still? We need a review of those. Accent hatch seems to have disappeared. ...and the HR-V is OK, but too expensive for us cheap folk. Maybe Corolla hatch? I dunno. I am just waffling as I am realizing no one will be making a car to my liking when I get ready to buy again. Please do review all small, cheap cars you can get your hands on.
I don’t understand how your video was not on the top of the list when researching this car on UA-cam. This review was absolutely perfect, the way the video was shot, the montage, the colors everything was on point. You covered every important point and showed great examples. I really liked how it bounced from the exterior and interior to show a bit of both. Also loved the red shoes to match the car. Very nice review should definitely be on the top of the list. 👍🏽
Yes...I'm getting ready to buy one very soon! I've already taken one for a test-drive, and am planning to go to a different dealership so I can drive another one. And I'm not a "millennial", which everyone keeps saying is who this is made for...I'm just over 50, lady Navy veteran. I love this car! I haven't had a new car since 1991, and I'm quite excited about it! I've watched about 100 reviews of it so far. All the negatives that everyone points out don't bother me. ;o)
@@sweetblack3088 I can't wait! Plans keep getting derailed tho, ending in disappointment. But each time things start looking up again, it's still this car that I want.
@@sonja4164 absolutely! Just not a position to buy right now. I thought I was going to be because I had started a new job but it's not going to work out to get a car. Going to have to wait but this is still the one that's on my list.
Bought the 2021 Venue SEL as our secondary car; getting around town for errands and going to work (without having to drop off the 2 year old)....so far it works perfect as that.
I have it as a rental this week, and I have been putting it in sport mode to get on the freeway or for passing. I’ve been having a great time with it so far.
I work 2 miles from home and don't go too far from home on days off. This would be a perfect vehicle for me. Don't feel the need to spend a lot of money when over time is goes down in value. I would be a good candidate for an electric car, but not at the prices of today. Really liked your review.
Bought my 2021 venue in September and love it - yes looks small but plenty of room inside - love the style and look of this mini suv - I know it comes with complimentary oil change BUT I’m not the type that lies to wait hours for an oil change - I just did my own oil change with the help of UA-cam video ( just wanted to be sure since it’s a new car to me ) and it’s so simple to change the oil and filter and I’m just the type of person that likes to work with my hands - driving on the freeway or streets has the same great response as far as steering, handling and noise is not as bad as some people say it is - it’s fun to drive - I highly recommend This fun, great looking vehicle- great job Hyundai 👍🏼
@ Chris Perez- not that I’m aware of - sorry I can’t give a more definitive answer to your question - I change my own oil because it’s easier for n my time schedule to do it myself
VENUE...Perfectly adequate for the average driver without a family or the need for a larger SUV. Way too much emphasis is made on speed these days, I own 2 newer H-Day Santa Fe SUV models and luv them even with 0 to 60 times at 9 seconds.
It’s very interesting that the subcompact crossover grows to satisfy two very different purposes. That’s why it’s taking market share from subcompact sedans and hatchbacks. The first purpose is a city car, which should be small and short to accomodate limited parallel parking. Giving drivers and passengers a more upright and taller seating posture reduces the length of the car. The second purpose is an inclement weather resistant car. The “snow” driving mode should clue you in. People aren’t looking for a true outdoor car that can run a Paris Dakar rally, they just want something taller that doesn’t instantly get stuck in a little snow, or be terrified of a little pothole. As you can see speed is not an important consideration, because both roles don’t need it.
Having started driving in the early 80's I always smile at reviews citing an 8.8 sec 0-60 as slow. That was a turbo Trans Am back in the day, lol. Anything under 11 was 'pretty quick' then when a mid-size Malibu with a strangled 267 V8 took about 14 and high school kids drove around in hand me down slant 6 Valiants or Volares :)
@@HelloRoad Over in Europe 8.8 sec 0-60 was almost hot hatch territory back in the eighties. And if you lived like me on the less fortunate side of the iron curtain, the same acceleration took you 15-20 seconds at least. Heck, we even had new cars (Trabant and Polski Fiat 126) which had 60 as their stop speed :D
I started driving in 1980. Our family car was a 73 Duster Slant 6 that seemed very slow until it was replaced with a 1975 Fury sedan with a Slant 6. I would be surprised if 0-60 in the Fury took less than 18 seconds. On average, cars today are far too powerful for the low skill and highly distracted people driving them.
@@rightlanehog3151Exact! Too much of everything in the cars now. Power, electronics, computers, phones and toys in general. Even cars with standard transmissions today are to complicated! Drove my some Mustang GT with a 6 speed standard a couple of years ago. Power? Yes. Easy to drive? Yep! Too easy! With all of these computer assisted functions a 12 year old with no driving experience would be able to shift it without rolling back or stalling it! Not a lot of skill needed.
I didn't realize how small the Venue was until I saw one in traffic next to a Ram 3500, its TINY! I like the boxy looks but I'm just having a hard time finding pros over something like a Corolla or a larger CPO vehicle for the same price. Great video as always, thanks for adding segments to it!
As far as acceleration, most people at traffic stops are asleep at the wheel and I'm usually off the line and two or three car lengths down the road ahead of most.
Looks like I’m buying a venue! The situation you mentioned about getting your first nice job & not wanting to show up in a hand-me down car is my exact situation 😂
Actually considered one of these, had a 2016 Kia Soul, was an ok car, started having issues around 80k miles with the catalytic converter. Traded the Kia for a 2020 Toyota CH-R and boy the difference in quality is great...
I feel like people really need to test drive it before people say it's too slow. Idk how but i actually pass most people up on the highway on my venue comfortably plus I use sport mode
Ethan, We are about the same height so the head room and passenger room are really impressive for a vehicle with this footprint. Sadly, in 2021 the fuel economy of just 31 mpg is disappointing. I would like to see the new Yaris Cross come to our market to offer this level of space efficiency combined with 60 mpg, independent rear suspension and AWD. For the record, they sell a manual Venue in Canada which would probably be more fun to drive.
What a great review. Thanks for that. I've owned expensive and complicated cars, and older simple cars too. This really is all I want now. Basic, and easy to live with.
Was looking at buying a Hyundai Veloster 2.0 6 speed manual as a daily driver, then I saw this. Sat in a Venue, and it felt like sitting in a Mini Cooper. I love value at a low price.
Great review dude! I just love your channel. I became a subscriber when you had the fifth Avenue i believe? This is a great review probably the best one I’ve seen on this little SUV your channel deserves more subs for sure great job!
It's disappointing they got rid of the 6 speed manual for 2021. Of course, they only offered it on the stripper SE model, but at least it was something.
I’m torn between the Venue & the Soul. I’ve always loved the Soul since it came out and then Hyundai introduced this… so not fair! I can’t decide. I want both for me and the Mrs. 😁
My wife and I on the denim version. And I really enjoy it. There's a lot room in the cabinet and there enough speed. No issues driving up to New York from Virginia. All-around great value for the price.
Nice review, the retro tie in at the start was great. It would be cool to include a couple of other throwbacks here and there, ex: when mentioning the 0-60 time, see if you can find an Excel's rating from the 80's as a contrast. Keep it up 👍
Great review Ethan 👏. You touched on so many things people should be aware of when looking at a car and yes I would consider it for what the cost is. Only draw back for me is the lack of power. With a bigger engine or a turbo I'd definitely consider it but I could not part with my 09 VW Tiguan for this. I'd miss the turbo when I need it .
I'm sure this will do very well but it sure would be super fantastic if it came in 4x4 and beefed- up roll cage with running lights and please have the LCD screen mounted inside the dash not like a floating laptop but overall I really like where Hyundai is going with this it reminds me of the Kia Sportage but I really want to see this in off-road 4x4
What’s the name of that color I’ve ordered the scarlet red pearl I have yet to see it in person but I’ve seen pictures and every picture I see is different but in your video it looks like something I’d like great video thank you
I just don’t understand the trim configurations on the 2022 Venue. Why SEL has sunroof but not on Limited? Why SEL has wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto but Limited doesn’t have it? Why did they take heated seats away from SEL compared to 2020 or 2021? So confusing!
BUT, I couldn't tell what it was supposed to be, surrounded by all of the other SUVs/crossovers on the lot. Not as spacious as the Echo in the backseat, either.
I still think the new Ford fusions are a better deal since they’re bigger and around 15k for se models. I walked out with a new 2020 last week for just under 10 including my 5300 trade in. Now is the time to buy before they sell out.
0-60mph 8.8? Here in Australia it's 11 seconds with the same engine. On the other hand Suzuki Vitara, which is lighter and has a 1.4 turbo engine is 8.8 seconds. So how did you get 8.8 seconds figure?
Pretty sure Australia gets the 1.6L "Gamma" engine, here in North America we get the 1.6L "Smartstream" engine. Same displacement but different designs. And we get a different transmission. But I wouldn't have guessed it would amount to that big of a difference in acceleration 🤔
Clocks run a little faster down under. 9 seconds on a northern hemisphere clock is 12 seconds down under. Don’t believe me? Well guess I knew something nobody else knows.😆
I'm over the SUV/CUV craze. Sedans, wagons, coupes etc need to come back. That said, I would love to see you review the Kia Carnival. At least that is in the minivan market, and those at least aren't an SUV/CUV. Still, great review. At least this thing isn't egg shaped like every other one of these today.
Problem with sedans is they are one purpose vehicles. Not versatile at all. You go to the store but something larger than the opening of your trunk or tty squeezing it through under the back window if you are lucky to have the back seat drop down and you’re out of luck! Been there done that, got the rental receipt for a van to prove it.
@TripReviews I should really trim that list, as sedans have their place and all as people movers... But wagons are king. Handle better than an SUV, are sporty, can haul like an SUV, and are actually good looking and fun to drive. My 9⁵ Aero Sportcombi is pushing over 300hp and is a hoot to drive and it can hold as much as my wife's Edge. And my V60 is smaller, with 285hp, and is even crazier than the 9⁵ even though it isn't the full-fat RDesign T6 or the king Polestar V60.
I’d consider it as a replacement for my current “traditional” (BOF) SUV. Gets double the mileage and looks like it has decent cargo space. I’m trying to hang onto what I have though, for now... Gas mileage is abysmal, but it makes up for it with relatively cheap insurance and no monthly payment.
Love my venue❤️🤍❤️🤍 I put in a order for a red one took too long for it to come❤️ end up with a white one, 🤍 It is all good. I add all red to bring out the white laugh it I have had it for a month now in May my birthday was February I love it so much🤍❤️ happy birthday to me 🙏🏽🌹🎁🎉🎊🛍
I like it. But I want my first car to have a more cargo space. In case I have a child in the future. Maybe this or the soul 2024. And I would like both of cars to have sunroof
I wish the Japanese companies would embrace the smaller crossover segment in the USA with models with nice trim levels, - namely the subcompact segment. But, sadly subcompact class vehicles are just poor sellers here in the USA (unlike most of the rest of the world).
Toyota Corolla Cross is coming, and it looks like it will be on the larger end of the segment. Plus, it gets the exact same power train as the corolla, with optional AWD. Then there's the Honda HR-V, but it has the 1.8 engine from the 8th gen Civic. The Mazda CX3/CX30 are the best in this segment, IMO.
Was really wondering how it compares to a Soul. Seems similar. As an owner of 2008 Fit Base and a 2012 Soul, need to know what our options are when they finally conk out. Would love another Fit, and may have me being “that guy” who drives the 25-year-old tiny Honda if they don’t have one for me when I go car shopping again.
Two days ago I replaced my 2012 Fit Sport with a new Venue SE (base model) and am pleasantly surprised how quickly this little SUV is growing on me! I was looking for tiny hatchbacks but the salesman suggested I test drive the Venue, and I am glad I did! It is a nice, small "around town" vehicle with lots of features for the price.
Clean looking car, but my head hurts looking at cars like this that "stack" the headlights. Cars have faces, so I never know which lights are the "eyes"...Does this venue have eyes that are lower, with eyebrows up above? Or are its eyes on the top, and it has lit cheeks??
Haha!! Yeah a lot of new cars are doing this, especially Hyundais. Even the new Blazer. I like the look but it does mess with the whole "car face" thing!! 😆It's similar to what Pontiac originally did with the Aztek (and what Nissan did with the Juke), but not so goofy looking.
@@sosawillduma1073 they have a history of not lasting as long, and they tend to drone up and down, also they tend to not send linear torque to the wheels and are often kinda sluggish compared to what it would be if it had a standard torque converted auto or a manual trans. They're always tuned for economy, rather than performance.
Would you consider a Hyundai Venue? If not, what would you buy instead?
For those that like my '80s/'90s car videos, don't worry, more are coming! Occasionally manufacturers let me borrow new cars and I simply can't pass up the opportunity! If you like my '80s/'90s videos, there will be a new one next week. Thanks for your support! :)

I want to buy the car hyundai venue , but I heard that the engine consumes a lot with poor power. Is this true?
Buying this as my *first car* next week!
Awesome!
Our Versa Note's transmission was going and I saw this. It looked smaller than the Versa inside :(.
BUT, I couldn't tell what it was supposed to be, surrounded by all of the other SUVs/crossovers on the lot. Not as spacious as the Echo in the backseat, either.
I wish it had an AWD option...I would need it in NY.
Theres been discussion about the low beam headlight..ie normal not being very good. Is this right..or not the case.
great video, it would make a good dd for a lot of people .
id honestly would spend more and get a mazda3 if i was in the market for a small vehicle
It's definitely a tough sell compared to the Soul.
It doesn't look like a toaster on wheels, sold
Not at all.
Honest to the point thank you
I still think the new Ford fusions are a better deal since they’re bigger and around 15k for se models. I walked out with a new 2020 last week for just under 10 including my 5300 trade in. Now is the time to buy before they sell out.
Man, that's cheap!
31 mpg? My 2016 Volkwagon Jetta gets 50mpg on the highway. And that’s a small car. I would never drive or own a tiny crossover. Great video.
0-60mph 8.8? Here in Australia it's 11 seconds with the same engine. On the other hand Suzuki Vitara, which is lighter and has a 1.4 turbo engine is 8.8 seconds. So how did you get 8.8 seconds figure?
Pretty sure Australia gets the 1.6L "Gamma" engine, here in North America we get the 1.6L "Smartstream" engine. Same displacement but different designs. And we get a different transmission. But I wouldn't have guessed it would amount to that big of a difference in acceleration 🤔
Clocks run a little faster down under. 9 seconds on a northern hemisphere clock is 12 seconds down under. Don’t believe me? Well guess I knew something nobody else knows.😆
I'm over the SUV/CUV craze. Sedans, wagons, coupes etc need to come back. That said, I would love to see you review the Kia Carnival. At least that is in the minivan market, and those at least aren't an SUV/CUV.
Still, great review. At least this thing isn't egg shaped like every other one of these today.
Problem with sedans is they are one purpose vehicles. Not versatile at all. You go to the store but something larger than the opening of your trunk or tty squeezing it through under the back window if you are lucky to have the back seat drop down and you’re out of luck! Been there done that, got the rental receipt for a van to prove it.
@TripReviews I should really trim that list, as sedans have their place and all as people movers... But wagons are king. Handle better than an SUV, are sporty, can haul like an SUV, and are actually good looking and fun to drive.
My 9⁵ Aero Sportcombi is pushing over 300hp and is a hoot to drive and it can hold as much as my wife's Edge. And my V60 is smaller, with 285hp, and is even crazier than the 9⁵ even though it isn't the full-fat RDesign T6 or the king Polestar V60.
Commenting today specifically because I want to continue to see new car reviews on your channel.
I’d consider it as a replacement for my current “traditional” (BOF) SUV. Gets double the mileage and looks like it has decent cargo space. I’m trying to hang onto what I have though, for now... Gas mileage is abysmal, but it makes up for it with relatively cheap insurance and no monthly payment.
Side note: I think the Limited comes with padded arm rests. 😁
Hyundai venue is Good Design SUV and fuel efficiency, Specially RED 🍒 color. Also include CVVD technology in the engine.
Love my venue❤️🤍❤️🤍 I put in a order for a red one took too long for it to come❤️ end up with a white one, 🤍 It is all good. I add all red to bring out the white laugh it I have had it for a month now in May my birthday was February I love it so much🤍❤️ happy birthday to me 🙏🏽🌹🎁🎉🎊🛍
How reliable is their version of the cvt?
I think I will go with the 2021 or 2022 Kia Soul because of the HP. I currently own a 2010 Kia Soul with 150,000 miles and I like it a lot.
Yeah I’d probably go with the Soul as well.
Rad flavor at the beginning of the video ;)
Is this good for long commutes? I drive from Palmdale to the San Fernando Valley on the forest highways
Decent gas mileage, lots of interior space, easy to maneuver. Not the most comfortable interior but probably acceptable for this price point :)
will this car be sold in the uk
I like it. But I want my first car to have a more cargo space. In case I have a child in the future. Maybe this or the soul 2024. And I would like both of cars to have sunroof
I wish the Japanese companies would embrace the smaller crossover segment in the USA with models with nice trim levels, - namely the subcompact segment. But, sadly subcompact class vehicles are just poor sellers here in the USA (unlike most of the rest of the world).
Toyota Corolla Cross is coming, and it looks like it will be on the larger end of the segment. Plus, it gets the exact same power train as the corolla, with optional AWD. Then there's the Honda HR-V, but it has the 1.8 engine from the 8th gen Civic. The Mazda CX3/CX30 are the best in this segment, IMO.
A manual mode in a CVT... so it essentially does nothing? That's weird.
Simulated gear changes! It is weird!
Which has more space, Venue or a 2020 Honda Fit?
Reminds me of a Forester! Throw it on some BC coilovers and call it good lol.
Quick way to ruin a car. Awful suspension.
Great revue, thank u
Thanks for watching!
I would still prefer a Kia Rio over that. In Europe crossovers are everywhere and it’s getting boring.
I looked at one of these but didn't drive it. Also tried the kia soul turbo, but ultimately bought a RAV4
Im driving a car now that fills up 640km for about $45 on a fill up how much does this car give on a fill up of gas and how much is it
Was really wondering how it compares to a Soul. Seems similar.
As an owner of 2008 Fit Base and a 2012 Soul, need to know what our options are when they finally conk out.
Would love another Fit, and may have me being “that guy” who drives the 25-year-old tiny Honda if they don’t have one for me when I go car shopping again.
Two days ago I replaced my 2012 Fit Sport with a new Venue SE (base model) and am pleasantly surprised how quickly this little SUV is growing on me! I was looking for tiny hatchbacks but the salesman suggested I test drive the Venue, and I am glad I did! It is a nice, small "around town" vehicle with lots of features for the price.
No need to adjust driving habits it's not a Corvette an drives perfectly fine on the freeway and the highway
He's test-driving the SEL with Premium... Most ones don't have it.
Has anyone had problems with this model losing oil? Not burning, or leaking, just disappearing?
Super cute, but needs a hybrid or all electric!
Clean looking car, but my head hurts looking at cars like this that "stack" the headlights.
Cars have faces, so I never know which lights are the "eyes"...Does this venue have eyes that are lower, with eyebrows up above?
Or are its eyes on the top, and it has lit cheeks??
Haha!! Yeah a lot of new cars are doing this, especially Hyundais. Even the new Blazer. I like the look but it does mess with the whole "car face" thing!! 😆It's similar to what Pontiac originally did with the Aztek (and what Nissan did with the Juke), but not so goofy looking.
we don't have that in CVT, only in 6 A/T
I'm really indifferent about this car. Not sure if I really like how it looks. I'm definitely not interested in a car with a CVT.
Whats your take on CVTs? Why do u feel that way on CVTs
@@sosawillduma1073 they have a history of not lasting as long, and they tend to drone up and down, also they tend to not send linear torque to the wheels and are often kinda sluggish compared to what it would be if it had a standard torque converted auto or a manual trans. They're always tuned for economy, rather than performance.
