    For starters, this is a wind up toy.

    For starters, this is a wind up toy. They call it metal but it’s plastic. Any wind is going to blow you away. Barely in seating in the back and I have three kids that’s two car seats and a booster seat. There’s no room. You can barely stick your hand to put the seatbelt on. The air doesn’t reach in the back so everyone else in the back’s gonna have to burn unless they wrote on the window. The windows are flimsy we realize that by washing our car by hand and saw the windows with it. It didn’t and scratches very easily. It tells you to take a break when you’re not even driving incorrectly. There’s times where it claims that I’m in the wrong lane or I’m getting over somewhere that I’m not supposed to be without the one who’s driving not no robot car, and it tries to steer my wheel into a different direction! It’ll be way too late by the time you hit a car. Sometimes it’ll let you know there’s a car nearby and there are times it beeps delayed. If you try to ling your seat back while you have people in the back or the kids in the car, there’s not much room for the passenger or the driver, but mostly the driver. It was very easy to wear and tear down the cloth and material where your feet go as a driver, so there was a little hole we had to put a pad down. Same as the heat in the back, everyone in the back is gonna freeze too because the heat barely reaches in the back and if you try to turn it up, she’s gonna burn the people in the front and let the people in the back feel a little bit. The air is freezing cold for the people in the front if you even want someone in the back to feel it. The tire size is very awkward. It’s hard to find it and you have to often wait even if it’s an emergency to get the tire and then they’re gonna charge you a fee to put it on. Overall, the tire is more expensive because it’s awkward. I’ve had replaced the tires quite often and over the past year I’ve replaced three, the year is not over. Transmission went out and it wasn’t even 70,000 miles yet. It actually doesn’t notify me correctly when I do need to do an oil change. Most of the features don’t notify me anything wrong with it unless there’s a tire pressure issue. I think this is great for a single person who just doesn’t care and they just live in life, but if you’re a family person, you have multiple people in your family just stick to a van, because this is not it. It’s so small. I can’t even find it in the parking lot and I know where I parked, but all the cars are blocking it. I feel like the list can go on and on, but I can’t even think right now I just know there’s always an issue. I honestly rated a one because it’s a car and it gets me to and from him. There’s a reason this car says a lot. This is not the go to Car.

    Great little SUV.

    Great little SUV. Bought used with 8000 miles. Since I bought it I've averaged 36.6 mpg. over 14,648 miles. Every review I read it mentioned about its power, I can pass cars at high speed with no problems. Only problem is the storage space when back seats are up. Otherwise, easy to drive and park.

    Best little SUV on the market

    Really love the mileage. It is small but the mightiest little car 🚗 i could imagine. It really is a two people car because of the size. But you will love it.

    Nice SUV

    Absolutely a fantastic little SUV. It’s roomy enough, rides smooth, quiet and gets 42mpg on the highway and 35 mpg in the city, this is a very dependable car.

    LOVE my Venue

    I absolutely LOVE my Venue. It is incredibly comfortable and a very smooth ride. My parents just got a new BMW and my venue rides just as well. It gets great gas mileage too. I average about 30 mpg and 35 highway. Hyundai has the best warranty out there too, so if you want a small but roomy fun safe car, get a venue!!

    2023 Venue SEL

    I love the stying, the ride, the power is certainly adequate , and it is very smooth and quiet. It has all the modern safety features that we wanted with a great rear storage area and it gets great fuel mileage. My only negative marks ( which are minor ) are, the rearward vision is poor due to the size of the rear roof pillars and the small back window. My trim level the SEL came with a digital dashboard which is functional, but I prefer traditional gauges that come with the highest trim level the Limited. And lastly , this is my first car with an infotainment center dash with Apple CarPlay, and while it certainly can be useful, I don’t find it especially easy to navigate. It is overly complex and time consuming to try and navigate all the various menus. Which is why 99% of the time I don’t mess with it, I just get in it and drive , which is something that the Venue does very well. Overall I think it’s a great little car.

    Wouldn't change a thing, it's perfect!

    This SUV is just the right size for the wife and I. Plenty of room, nimble handling, very comfortable, and great gas mileage-(average 35 mpg).

2023 Hyundai VENUE review: Our expert's take

By Cars.com Editors

What Is the 2023 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; all-wheel drive isn’t offered on any trim. Agile and easy to maneuver thanks in part to its small size, the Venue competes with rivals like the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Honda HR-V, Nissan Kicks and Subaru Crosstrek. Have little ones to tote around? Be sure to check out how the Venue scored in our Car Seat Check by clicking here.

What’s New on the 2023 Hyundai Venue?

The Venue’s changes for the 2023 model year are minor. A rear-seat reminder feature is new and standard, the gauge cluster’s digital screen is upgraded from 3.5 inches to a 4.2-inch color unit, and the previously optional center console armrest is now standard. The Limited trim gets standard wireless device charging.

What Features in the 2023 Hyundai Venue Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 15-inch alloy wheels
  • Two USB ports
  • Keyless entry
  • 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Lane departure steering assist
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Power moonroof
  • Automatic climate control
  • Heated front seats
  • Satellite radio
  • Navigation
  • Blind spot warning
  • Rear cross-traffic alert

Should I Buy the 2023 Hyundai Venue?

First and foremost, the Venue’s lack of all-wheel drive will deter some SUV shoppers who insist on being able to send power to all four wheels. There’s also only so much passing power provided by the 121-hp four-cylinder engine. The Venue is, however, a great value thanks to an ample lineup of standard comfort, tech and safety features. It’s sized for city driving and can squeeze into tight parking spots with ease. The Venue faces a lot of worthy competition, but this likable little sport-ute did win our Best Value of 2021 award.
