Expert 2022 Hyundai VENUE review

What Is the 2022 Hyundai Venue?

The five-seat Hyundai Venue subcompact SUV is powered by a 121-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a continuously variable automatic transmission. The Venue is available only with front-wheel drive. Nimble and easy to park thanks to its small size, the Venue personifies the “cute-ute” class that also includes models like the Nissan Kicks and Toyota C-HR. You can see how the Venue scored in our Car Seat Check here.

What’s New on the 2022 Hyundai Venue? 

The top-of-the-line Denim trim level has been renamed Limited, but there are no other significant changes. 

What Features in the 2022 Hyundai Venue Are Most Important? 

Standard features include:

  • 15-inch alloy wheels 
  • Cloth seating
  • Cruise control
  • 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane-keeping assist
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels 
  • LED headlights
  • Power moonroof 
  • Automatic air conditioning
  • Heated front seats
  • Satellite radio
  • Navigation
  • Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert

Should I Buy the 2022 Hyundai Venue? 

The Hyundai Venue is a good match for suburban or city-based drivers who want the look of an SUV but the size and fuel-sipping demeanor of a small hatchback. Its lack of all-wheel drive limits the Venue’s appeal, but it does include a lot of safety and tech features for the money. Value is also an important part of the equation, which is why the Venue won our Best Value of 2021 award.

    the seat belt position is terrible, it is in my neck all

    the seat belt position is terrible, it is in my neck all the time and unable to adjust, very uncomfortable and UNSAFE. My insurance went up a LOT with this vehicle. The sun visor is too short in width. The shiny H on steering wheel is distracting / blinding when the sun hits it. I've had it in the shop NUMEROUS times for driver control passenger front window control issues. Seats are not wide if you have a bum bigger than a childs. Back seats are very small my Nissan car bad more room. Just OK would not buy again.

    This car absolutely sucks. It is horrible, do not buy this piece of junk. Any car is better than this piece of junk. It is unreliable, and one of my wheels felt like a Lego piece right after buying it.

    Great Value Vehicle

    I purchased this car in the spring of 2022 for my teenager driver. This is a fantastic car for a young driver. It won't win any street races (nor do I want it to for a teen), gets fantastic mileage, is nimble (particularly nice for them parking at school) and is packed with features that you find on more expensive cars (such as wireless Apple Car Play0---which my wife's 2022 Audi Q3 doesn't even have). Add the long term warrant coverage and this is a very good buy. At just over $21k, I am very pleased with this car almost a year after buying it.

    Good value, good looking, good parking

    I have the 2021 Venue Denim which is now called the Limited. I purchased the car mainly because I liked the exterior styling and I wanted something with a little more ground clearance than the Honda Fit that I had before this car. I live in the Northeastern US and we do get some snow. AWD is not available in this car, but the high ground clearance with the "Snow Mode" option makes the car pretty good in snow as long as it's not very deep. The value of the car is extremely good if you compare it to what you get from other car makers. I also like the maneuverability of the car and the ease of parking due to the overall short length.

    Love the car but needs a few additions.

    Just need better audio. Radio reception terrible. Not given instruction on what to do. Not compatible with Sirius which is very disappointing. Need to be shown other options.

    Great Little Car

    Have had my 2022 Venue for a little over a month. Love it. Comfortable and has a ton of safety options. Only wish it had the 180 view, but I’ve never had it so don’t really miss it. Gas mileage is great - got 34 mpg first fill. Definitely get your money’s worth.

    So far so good

    My thoughts on the 2022 Venue SEL (Galactic Gray): - Better mileage than advertised (based on my driving so far). I'm averaging just under 40mpg. - Less power than most cars built today, however, let's also consider that most cars today have radically improved in just the last 10 years. So the Venue, in my opinion, has very normal power for it's class and somewhat reminiscent of cars built in the late 90's and early 2000's (power wise). Perfectly suitable for highway driving. - Wind noise also similar to cars from early 2000's, but still a very solid build. - Seat comfort on the less than desirable side. - Options are terrific on SEL trim, very good bang for buck. Though odd that the highest trim level does not come with sunroof. - Had no issues with family (wife and two young kids). Everyone felt comfortable. - Steering column has bump on underside which my knee constantly bumps when switching foot to brake pedal. Had to sit further from steering wheel than my usual and it eliminated the issue, though have never had this issue in any other car. Small compromise, not huge complaint. Also, having key ring on ignition key (if equipped) dangles on knee while driving. - Visibility out the rear window obstructed by center tail light. Find my self slouching down to see things. Lowering seat helps a bit, but becomes a compromise with front / dash visibility. (I'm 5'9") - Extremely manueverable, turns on dime. - The matte gray (Galactic Gray) looks great. - Can't say much for reliability as the model is still very new. Equipped with a simulated 8-speed, "Intelligent Variable Transmission" (IVT) paired with Hyundai's tiny 1.6 l. engine, will it stand the test of time? I sure hope so. All in all - very pleased.

    Great gas mileage, very nimble in a parking lot. Hyundai has also got the A/C figured out. Fun to drive. Really like this car. This car started out as a second vehicle, but has become the primary vehicle.

    Venue Limited

    We have had our car for almost a month now and we love it. My husband is 6'4" & our girls are both over 5'11". Everyone has plenty of room. With ac on full blast we have plenty of power for driving 75mph on the highway. The gas mileage is amazing and for a compact suv the storage is impressive. It also has a roof rack.
