__________________________________________________________________
As you may know, the crossover segment is rapidly growing here in North America. So, it comes as no surprise that #Hyundai is trying to fill every little GAP in their lineup with a utility vehicle.
In fact, just last year, Hyundai introduced its biggest SUV ever to satisfy the publics’ growing demands: the 2020 Palisade. Fast forward a few months, and now Hyundai has another new SUV! But this time it is slotting in on the TOTAL OPPOSITE SIDE of the spectrum due to its much smaller footprint.
Introducing the FIRST-EVER Hyundai Venue!
This is Hyundai's latest addition to its SUV lineup, and it is actually the most inexpensive and most compact crossover that Hyundai has to offer in the United States.
Enjoyed this Detailed Test #DriveReview of the ALL-NEW 2020 Venue? Let us know what you think about it. Also, do you think Hyundai's most inexpensive SUV has a chance against the segment's heavy-hitters from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Chevrolet, and Ford? Comment below!
______________________________________________________________________
Hyundai claims that the #HyundaiVenue will be the perfect answer to combat other competitors in the ultra-competitive Sub-Compact Utility Vehicle segment. Some of the many competitors that the all-new Hyundai Venue will be stacked-up against will include Crossover SUVs such as the Chevy TrailBlazer, Toyota CH-R, Ford EcoSport, Kia Soul, Mazda CX-3, Nissan Kicks, Jeep Renegade, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Fiat 500X, etc.
But the Venue's competitive set doesn't just stop there! Hyundai is actually touting the 2020 - 2021 Venue to be IDEAL for first-time car buyers, tech-savvy/entrepreneurial millennials, and even used-car shoppers. YES! Hyundai is positioning this #SUV against the flourishing market of used vehicles under $20k. Quite interesting when you think about...
So, did Hyundai equip the 2020 Venue with enough features, practicality, and curb appeal to breakthrough the raging wave of oh-so competitive sub-compact utility vehicles? Or will the 2020 / 2021 Venue just get washed ashore as other competitors dominate the segment? Well, let’s take a look!

DriveAndBeDriven hey Marcus! I loved your first drive video of the Venue! I think this little CUV will be competent in a sea of funky, and some boring subcompact CUVs!

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed my first drive review! Also, yes! I totally agree with you. This CUV will definitely fend well in the deep sea of sub-compact utility vehicles. Thanks again for commenting, Matthew! I have many more videos lined up! Stay tuned! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

[@PrimeAutotainment]

First off, I love the thumbnail. 2nd I’m glad you got to drive it! Hyundai’s doing awesome with the value they provide, even in a small package here. Keep it up sir!

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Thanks so much, Nolan! I had to get a little bit creative with my thumbnail design, but I am so glad it paid off. I really appreciate you stopping by, and I totally agree with you. Hyundai is producing some pretty value-packed vehicles as of late. As always, I'll definitely keep it up! Still looking forward to that collab. Haha! Take care, man. -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

[@MasterCarsReview]

great video Marcus! i really like the thumbnail too 👏👏

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Thanks, man! I decided to switch up my thumbnail design for this video because I didn't have a good full exterior picture of the 2020 Venue with me in it, like my usual video thumbnails... Therefore, I had to be "creative" with it. Glad it payed off! Also, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed this video. Your 5 minute Fridays are really creative. Loving them! Keep it up, MCR!!! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

I love your videos Marcus they are entertaining and so informative. I've been in the Auto industry for over 10 years and I'm learn something new each time I watch DriveAndBe Driven videos. Keep up they great work.

Take care. :) -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

[@julianmontanez6635]

I like how new cars have the button to turn the car on. Great video as always!!

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Yes! That is a really neat feature. Especially for a car in this pricing category. If you want push-button start on the 2020 Venue, you'll have to step up to the SEL Premium and Denim trim levels (Hyundai doesn't make that as STANDARD equipment on the Venue just yet). But, quite honestly, that is the case with most of its competitors. Don't hesitate to let me know if any questions arise. I am here to help! Thanks again for your support, Julian! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

[@adamrozman]

The sound for the vid was very good. Equalized well between music and voice in different clips. It'd be cool to maybe get some more camera angles! I really like forward-facing hood shops, side angles that get the tires, and even like an angle facing you from the windshield (kind of like what thestraightpipes use)!

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Hey, Adam! I truly appreciate all of the compliments and the constructive criticism. I will definitely consider this when recording my future reviews. TheStraightPipes are definitely role models. Will make sure to implement more camera angles in the future. Thank you! Let me know if any questions arise or if you have any more constructive criticism. I'm all ears! ;) -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

[@siddiqahali9193]

I love all of the features that this vehicle comes with! I specially love the sun roof, I always thought those were cool. Overall, this seems like the perfect car for millennials!

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Agreed! The features that this vehicle comes with are quite impressive - perfect for Millenials and folks that enjoy quirky-styled vehicles. The addition of an optional sunroof is definitely a nice premium touch, too. Thanks for your support, Siddiqah! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥

[@hot4you522]

In the US, does it come with bluelink where you can start with a smartphone?

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

That's a great question! Yes. In the US, higher-end Venue models feature BlueLink connectivity. According to Hyundai, certain Venue models will include Remote Start, Remote Climate Control, Remote Door Lock/Unlock, and many other remote systems via the BlueLink mobile app. I've listed them below for your convenience: For 2020, it will only be available in the Venue DENIM and the Venue SEL w/ CONVENIENCE & PREMIUM pkg. For 2021, it will only be available in the Venue DENIM and the Venue w/ PREMIUM pkg. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Hey, Mark! I am so sorry for not replying sooner. I just noticed your comment. My apologies. As far as comparing the Kicks and Venue go, I can't give you a solid answer because I haven't gotten the chance to test drive the Kicks as of yet. But, when I do, I'll be sure to report it. Take care, and stay safe! Also, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@timeconstrained2400]

in Australia we get the older gamma engine not this smartstream. I wonder is there is any difference in noise levels etc.

[@carbuff81]

Another top notch video by my dear friend Marcus. I like the Venue, it is just missing a few key features. I would definitely consider it, if they come out with an electric or phev version of it.

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Anthony! It's so good to see you in the comment section again. I'm glad you enjoyed this video! Does it qualify as an A++ review? Anyways, in regards to alternate powertrains for the Venue, Hyundai hasn't expressed any plans of producing a PHEV or EV version... But, of course, anything could happen. Honestly, I doubt Hyundai will make a Venue EV since they already have the Kona EV. But a PHEV might be pretty probable... Especially since Hyundai doesn't currently have an SUV with a PHEV setup in the U.S. I feel as if the Venue would be great in PHEV form! Maybe Hyundai can pull the powertrain out of the IONIQ and put it the Venue... Although the Kona would arguably be a slightly better option paired to that PHEV powertrain due to it having available AWD. But, we shall see! Thanks again for commenting! Stay tuned for more videos coming soon! -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🎥
