Crossover SUVs are perfect for drivers who need a little more space than even a hatchback mid-size car can offer but still want to maintain the smooth drivability they’re used to with cars. However, even some crossover SUVs on today’s market are edging closer and closer to the sizing of a full-size SUV. That’s where the 2020 Hyundai Venue comes into play. It’s Hyundai’s smallest SUV to date, but don’t worry – it packs plenty of punch inside its little frame.

The smaller size of the Venue makes it the perfect SUV for city-dwellers and those who find themselves squeezing into tight parking spaces, navigating the rush-hour commute, or turning down narrow city streets on a regular basis. It’s nimble and agile while still offering plenty of cargo and passenger space for a weekend adventure.

For the 2020 model year, you can choose between three trims of the Venue:

• SE
• SEL
• Denim

The 2020 Venue SE is one of the strongest crossover offerings on the market with an impressive list of desirable features at a more-than-affordable price tag. Choosing the SE trim gets you an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment center with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, a driver attention alert, and a stowable rear luggage shelf. Moving up to the SEL trim adds automatic climate control, dual USB charging, six additional speakers, and voice recognition, as well as the option to add on premium packages. The top-tier Denim trim includes all of the amenities of the lower two trims with the addition of exclusive denim-colored upholstery with a leatherette trim, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, heated seats, and so much more.

Interior Review of the 2020 Hyundai Venue

Though the Venue is Hyundai’s smallest vehicle, it has no shortage of space or features! Throughout the three trim levels you’ll have access to popular amenities like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated seats, and a robust sound system.

Adult passengers will find that the five seats offer plenty of stretching room while children can tag along for the ride safely thanks to two sets of LATCH connections. Got stuff to store? No problem. With the second row upright, you’ll have 19 cubic-feet of cargo space behind the rear row. When you need more storage room than passenger room, the second row has a 60/40 to open up to 32 cubic-feet of storage space.

Thanks to the numerous driver assistance features onboard the Venue, you’ll find yourself feeling more reassured than ever. Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, pre-collision warning, lane keeping assistance, lane departure warning, and a driver attention alert. Higher trim levels of the Venue offer blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Performance Review of the 2020 Hyundai Venue

A 1.6-liter engine that offers 121 horsepower provides the power for all three Venue trims in the 2020 model year. This peppy engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission in the base SE trim and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in the SEL and Denim trims. Front-wheel drive on all trims makes for exceptional fuel efficiency around town and on the highway. If you’d prefer a CVT in the base SE trim you can always opt to add one.
