If you’ve been thinking about a fun-size vehicle with modern tech and efficient performance, the subcompact SUV market is a great place to look. There you’ll find the Hyundai Venue ready to go with impressive styling and engineering, while the Chevrolet Trax has its own features to offer. Which subcompact is suited for your needs? Let’s compare them side by side to find out.
Hyundai excels at delivering high value for low prices, and the Venue proves that big appeal can come in a small package. Even with its standard features like smartphone connectivity and driver drowsiness monitoring, the Venue comes at a more humble price point than many of its class rivals. On the other hand, the Trax costs more than several classmates, including the Venue. This price gap remains consistent as you look up the trim range of each vehicle as well. The Hyundai Venue also sports a higher predicted reliability rating and comes with more warranty coverage than its competitor.
The Venue stands out in the subcompact class with ample headroom in both rows. Its tall roofline allows for a refreshing level of passenger space, and Hyundai has equipped it with an attractive array of quality materials, especially in the upper trims. Critics have warned that the Trax’s confined back row doesn’t offer much posture support, however. The Chevy’s rough ride can also let turbulence and road noise into the cabin.
Both the Venue and the Trax come with handy touchscreen interfaces, while the Venue’s screen is larger for easier readouts. Hyundai has also equipped their SUV with more standard safety technology than its rival. Only the Venue comes standard with smart driver assistance tech like forward collision warning, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking. The only standard safety tool on the Trax is a rearview camera.
