Designed For First Time Shoppers? | 2020 Hyundai Venue

Hyundai was pretty blunt that the new Venue is targeted a folks that want a new car but may have traditionally ended up in a used car for a variety of reasons. To that end they tossed in all the active safety tech new car shoppers want, modern infotainment, a big cargo area and kept the price tag as low as possible. The ultimate question is: what would you buy? Used or new?

I think it's a magnificent work of industrial art. It's also practical, greener than any Tesla, and good on uneven dirt roads and poorly maintained farm driveways. No four wheel drive, but better for snow than a typical sedan. It is not a whimpy looking vehicle like a Fiat, Mini, or VW Beetle. It has both guts and balls.

[@pattywisekrypton5754]

guts and balls? I wouldn't go that far...

[@cjt7243]

I was a used car shopper until the point that Ford was selling 2018 Focus STs for like $7,000+ off MSRP. Got mine for ~$17,750 USD brand-new! Hard to get more fun per dollar. That's a rare find though, and I'm extremely impressed with the Venue's features for the price, and think it's one of the best affordable "regular cars" on the US market. Wish it had adaptive cruise though.

[@JamieToddBand]

Was tempted by the sale on the last Fiesta ST's, but my wife forbid it, due to the size. I spent double for a Civic Type R last week, but love it. Good job on the Focus ST!

[@happierquotes7400]

Best channel I’ve seen to review this car hands down. Appreciate the comparisons, very very well researched review!

[@stevee8318]

For luxury cars used is the way to go, but for cheap vehicles like this 0% financing and a 10 year warranty on new models make it a much closer call.

[@naveenthemachine]

[@jsilverchannel]

I really like the look of this vehicle. Would be great for a 2nd vehicle for driving to work and back.

[@MetalMan2k]

This vehicle is probably the only New Car I can afford right now. I am a truck guy, but I got to test drive the Hyundai Venue Sel, Galactic Grey color, and it was very spacious inside. And this type of vehicle is not really my style, but the more I look at the Venue Sel, the more I think it looks slick. It's growing on me.

[@jsilverchannel]

@@MetalMan2k That's interesting, I'm not a truck guy... I like small vehicles! Cool that you are liking the Venue

[@chief1960]

I bought one I love it . the warranty i best in the world,no repair expenses. TRY IT BUY IT AND LOVE IT.

[@ZieNozitoli]

I am buying it!🎉

[@MrSchrodingersCat01]

Really depends on the segment. I would go used (or lease) on any of the luxury brands because of the extreme depreciation. For the value brands like Hyundai and Kia, where you get more for your new-car-money than a Toyota or Honda, a new car is easier to justify. The long warranty is a bonus.

[@James-il3tq]

Extra cost of Toyota's and Honda's more then recovered with much higher resale value and lower maintenance costs.

[@Nonyabuisness90]

Toyota and Lexus have some of the best resale values on the market and with Toyota’s you don’t have to worry about actually using your warranty

[@2004cyrus]

Raschaud Farmer oh don’t think many people now are wanting old legends or anything from the late 90’s lol. Every article out on the internet says even Honda & Acura drop 20% when you drive the new car off the lot and then turn around and go back in, it’s used. And then most cars lose 10% or so per year. Now domestics like GM, Ford, and those horrible FCA cars drop 24-30%. Cars are such an awful place to spend money. Not an investment unless it’s making you money faster than its losing money:

[@reaality3860]

I can find no better auto reviews than those presented by Alex on Autos!

[@onlinename8066]

I REALLY like this car. VERY SIMPLE. VERY PRACTICAL and it has AA and apple car play. small footprint, VERY GOOD MPG. has a shifter. light curb weight and i abuse the interior, so the hard plastic really helps - no AWD is also a plus - less cost to maintain and LIGHTER. good cargo space, spare tire, elevated seat position etc. all this and it's cute as a button. - perfect for city driving

[@dforrest4503]

I’d agree with your rankings, and I really like the looks of the Soul in certain colors. Probably my first choice when looking for my next car in the next year.

[@jmoranretana]

The side profile reminds me of the old tucson/sportage profile around 2008. Looks good, I would consider it.

[@Tinrs80]

[@randysmith1107]

[@hippiebits2071]

I was sold on this on maybe being a good second (or third) vehicle for someone who has a BOF SUV but doesn't always want to shell out for gas when space or 4wd isn't needed. Your comments on the CVT killed that idea for me but thank you for being the throughly objective reviewer who tells it as it is.

[@kenc2257]

You could opt for the manual transmission--maybe only available on the lower/lowest trims, though...

[@drummergeorge9642]

im too poor to buy new vehicles. I bought a new 2014 sentra in 2014 and I sitll have it 6 years later. I will try to keep it for another 6 years until I'm finished with grad school.

[@3rdGUMObro]

I tested Venue and Kona with my (late 60s) mom. We went Kona SEL. Essentially the same price with deals made, and I really wanted her to have radar cruise. Plus it just felt so much more solid and substantial on rough roads and smoother/quieter on the highway. It’s a small car that you can see comfortably taking a long road trip in. Also big plus - Kona has a traditional auto rather than a CVT and a lot more power. If you can spend $21, it is more car for the money vs higher trim of Venue. Feels slightly more premium inside, love the houndstooth pattern on the cloth. I’m 6’2” and don’t even need the front seat all the way back. Impressive for a subcompact. I did suggest the Soul as well but she just hated the looks... I’d consider top spec Kona turbo for myself as a daily commuter.

[@christobalhalvah5709]

Good overall review, as always, but I would've liked to see the back seat folded down on the Venue and discuss a comparison of "usable" room for cargo vs. Kicks. Numbers don't always tell the entire story; visuals are so much better.

[@ResilientME]

I agree that hard touch plastic can be a bonus if you're going to be hard on the car(or if its your only car.) The last thing I'd want to worry about when out hiking, having a beach day, out in inclimate weather, etc. is transferring stains/wear into the car. On that note I really wish more budget cars had available leatherette seating.

[@hughwright1317]

If a parent is helping with the buying a first car for their kids, this would be a smart, safe choice over a used car.

[@ender25ish]

I saw this at the LA Auto Show, its a really cute little car

[@BullittHilts]

I’d have to go with the Soul for the added room. My wife and I have two kids so the extra rear seat room and trunk space would win me over. I’ve driven the new Soul and the 2.0 liter engine and CVT feel great in driving around town - there’s plenty of power to work with; not every car has to be a screamer. Thanks for another great review, Alex!

[@ave649]

i have to agree. Also the styling on newer Souls is very appealing for long term ownership. At freeway speeds, especially during icy winters, longer heavier vehicles are more stable and safer. I had a Chevy Sonic lose control on the highway and roll into a ditch last winter. It was the first and last mini vehicle I will ever own. It was the first time I had a serious car accident. I bought a big, stable, Dodge Avenger after the accident. No more instability problems. Small, light cars are only good in warmer climates without snow and ice.

[@mykeonthemove]

Love your reviews . . . .I never thought about why the venue would be a better new car investment than a used car investment. Venue is my pick….

[@ndg9367]

Alex, would this be compare to a Mitsubishi Mirage? Both have the 10 year 100k mile warranty and no thrill options.

[@bird718]

denim trim is nice looking i would go with that over the rest in this field

[@banstaman]

I think the transmission issue can be attributed to the fact that the Venue is using the 1.6 which doesn't have a very good range of power. I do think the venue would benefit from the 1.4T that Hyundai uses in the Elantra Eco. That is a good engine and I don't know why they don't use it in any other vehicles.

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

You should compare this with a 1958 Triumph TR10 Estate. 🚗 Sorry Alex, but you brought up the subject. Seriously Alex, I'd love to see you do funny reviews of cars from 40-60 years ago and compare them to a similar auto from now. Great review as always. I think you have a great personality. 🙂 The Venue may save some folks from buying a Mitsubishi Mirage. For practicality I'd say the Soul is the better choice, even if it costs you $1000 more.

[@EONEILL1987]

This car reminds me so much of the Scion XB in terms of boxy form and rear passenger room. I'd totally wouldn't mind owning one if it came as a hybrid option. As a Toyota loyalist; this car really appeals to me and If I was in a pinch, I'd consider one!

Hi Alex, I know you are American. But have you got a chance to drive a Nissan Micra? Reason I asked is because I am currently narrowing in on leasing a Micra and a base model Venue. Thx.

[@Zhenocnra]

We all need more inexpensive cars with the average transaction prices of new car purchases so high for most people in the US these days. This is a welcomed addition. I wouldn't have bought the Venue if it existed back then but, back in high school, I only had the choice of going used because I couldn't afford anything else. I would have loved to of had choices like the Venue back then. There are plenty of families, couples, or single individuals who go used because price is one of the largest barriers to ownership. In the end, I think extending yourself a little bit over for a few more thousands of dollars would pay off eventually given the extra space and/or power depending on which brand and model you go with. The base model 2020 CR-V is only a few thousand dollars more than the top trim of the Venue and it's very much bigger outside and inside. Honestly, if you can afford the top trim Venue, might as well step into a larger base CR-V with AWD only a few dollars more. I know, I know. Not a great idea as far as more debt but if you plan to keep the car forever, it will pay off if you're smart about it. Financially speaking, it makes less sense to buy the Venue only to trade it in for something else down the road. But if that's your only choice, I'm sure the Venue is doable for a few years until your financial situation improves.

[@dannydanbo58]

I've been looking at a Venue SEL and hadn't considered a Soul. I'll go see how they stack up for me, an old, retired guy in need of an around town car. Thanks.

[@flat4forlife588]

Base impreza with standard all wheel drive is also in this price category. Base crosstrek with manual also in the price category. Literally saw one of these yesterday in the same color. I have to be honest, nice looking small vehicle. Nothing wrong with this even being a decent little commuter vehicle for work. They look pretty good in person. What's the ground clearance, just curious? I might be in the minority but I like plastics as they are easy to clean and maintain. I hate fabric on the door panels with my car currently has. Bravo for a manual ebrake!!

[@austing4321]

@@jerrygreitens2522 Hyundai and Toyota are quite similar in terms of reliability... This isn't 1992 anymore. Frankly, I don''t have faith either of those cars will last that long due to their CVT. I doubt even a Toyota CVT can make it past 200k miles unless you drive like a grandma. As automakers try and squeeze out an extra 2MPG with these weird "innovations" to engine design and transmissions, reliability will continue to go down.

[@spletest8977]

If Hyundai makes a venue n-line then I'm sold. If they do that then I'd consider this to be the Nissan Juke's spiritual successor. I loved the way the juke drove but I love the body style of the venue especially since the footprint is so small, I need space to be as useful as possible.

[@GaryKetchum808]

Would be nice if it had AWD for winters, but other than that, it seems like simply the perfect appliance car. And I mean that in a good way. It’s good looking, efficient, probably gonna be reliable, has a good warranty, is cheap.

It had only 2 oil changes needed for its life and I saved near 10 grand. It still feels brand new with 51,000 miles on it now. That is a scenario you should be reviewing.

[@Mamo878]

Nowadays, people buy new to get the latest tech features, as well as the usual things like a full warranty coverage.

For me the comfort and "niceness" of a slightly larger used vehicle is much more appealing. I'm definitely not saying I need a full-size luxury sedan but I don't really see the appeal of something like this except maybe the warranty, which depending on how the used car is classified or purchased isn't necessarily an issue. I just bought a 2012 Mazda 3 about a year ago, and it's been good so far. In a year or two I hope to be able to afford real people car prices, in the 20-30k range but that just hasn't ever been an option before in my three and a half decades. And even then the pull of a couple year old CPO is much stronger than the cheap but cheerful new category.

The wholesale prices of used cars at the auction are stupid right now. If you're a used shopper something like this is worth taking a look at if it's available and on the lot.

[@MichaelWebber]

You're absolutely right about the transmission. The IVT on the 2.0L (as on the Soul) is a piece of poetry; on the Rio (same 1.6L Smartstream, same IVT as the Venue) it's a piece of s...ong. I've asked my service department whether there is a "flash" software update yet. So far, no. Evilla makes a sway bar for the 2020 Rio that might also fit the Venue; it makes a huge difference on the Rio but maybe the Venue is better tuned. Hyundai has 3 years free maintenance; Soul doesn't. Do you think Kia will replace the Rio Hatchback with a clone of the Venue in 2021? I almost got a 2020 Versa just for the driver assist safety features. The bad reputation for quality and lack of free extended warranty pushed me to Kia. Your reviews just get better and better. I'd like to see dB next to the "grade" rating, its easier to compare across models (I think you tested a 2018 Rio or Accent and the dB was 73 IIRC).

[@dchen1763]

It's not wise to trade in your '19 Fit if you leased/financed it new. As either method you have already contracted to pay the first round of depreciation, first through third years. It's real money lost which you can recuperate if you keep the Fit from third year onwards to perhaps 5 to 8 years. If you trade in Fit now you'd lock in the lost of Fit and forced to settled it right now. Then again take on the Venue's first 3 years of depreciation lost. It's a double-dip of money loses that you alone are paying. Be happy with the '19 Fit you got, it's a great compact car and will serve you well for many years. Save the double money lost you would have incurred with a premature vehicle switch, it's no small amount, you'd actually save more than $6000+ of doule depreciation lost if you keep the Fit for 5 years. Imagine what you can do with that extra $6000 when your Fit is 5 years old.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

This is supposed to be a entry level car that is inexpensive, no one would buy N line of venue if Hyundai do offer it.

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

New please

[@nobodyatallvallejo3672]

Ugh... The left turn signal being on all throughout the video is killing me.

[@LoveStallion]

With how much Hyundais depreciate, just imagine how cheap these will be in the certified market in a few years. You'll probably find a Denim trim model for $15K, easily.

[@greg1894]

But if you keep it for the 10 year, 100,000 mi warranty, depreciation doesn't matter.

[@LoveStallion]

@@greg1894 Sure, but for many who'd prefer to meet Hyundai at their game and buy it barely used but for less, and still keep the warranty, this could be a good value.

[@greg1894]

@@LoveStallion Very true. For those who want that, itll still be a waiting game and to find one in the trim/spec they want.

@@LoveStallion 10 year, 100.000 thousand mile power train is restricted to the original owner. The 60.000 bumper to bumper carries over for 2nd owners

[@LoveStallion]

@@johnfranklin5277 No, you can also get it if you buy certified, and you get the remaining balance. If you purchase used, you would get the downgraded powertrain warranty, as you stated. At least that's been my understanding from literature online and talking to dealers.

First-time shoppers, smaller-vehicle (subcompact) lovers, or perhaps just practical minimalists who don't define themselves with senseless materialism & status-chasing regardless of how much money they have.

[@bradyb9929]

First car in that budget? Go with an accord or corolla

[@greg1894]

There are differences. For a very similar price, you get this with the boxier proportions and more cargo-practical spaces vs the Corolla, plus the warranty. The Accord is gonna cost way more and have less cargo practicality. On the other hand, the Accord is also longer in the mid-sized segment, and has a V6 option. It all depends on what you as a shopper are looking for. Every car caters to a different person.

Old folks really like small CUVs which are so easy to get in and out of. For comparable money and fuel economy around town, I think these make a lot of sense.

Just buy honda fit. More interior space and more fun to drive.

[@James-il3tq]

Agree and very inexpensive.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

But no blind spot monitor and rear cross traffic alert, and I believe it also lacks pedestrian detection; only manual climate control on Honda fit, also, old infotainment with only 7 inches touch screen. I hope Honda introduces the new fit and has more tech and features.

[@JamieToddBand]

@@blackwhirlwind1245 Agree! Just bought a Civic Type R, 2019. I would have popped for the 2020 if they had Blind Spot, and Rear Cross Traffic. Way more useful than adaptive cruise in my mind. Soul S is the pick here, has all the safety tech in that package.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Every one of these reviewers forgets a large segment of car shoppers. Namely senior citizens. They need a cheap new car as well. Remember they are living on a pension and social security or maybe just SS. And they are not interested in tech or a lot of options just a new simple reliable car period.

[@brunoscardamaglia1892]

Do you think the average customer is going to ask the Salesman what the Torque pounds are on this 1.6 Lt engine? I don't think so. Living in Northern Canada, I would like to know how the Heating is on such a small engine. Will it hold up to our harsh winter weather? A lot of these vehicles are tested in the southern climates. I have never yet to see any vehicle tested in the harsh climates.

[@lakerfan3118]

121 Horsepower?!?!

[@MichaelWebber]

I think you have to look at the zero to 60 time. 1.6L designs from Hyundai and Kia from only a few years ago were 138hp, then 130, now 121 (?122?). But Hyundai claims a fatter midrange.
