The Hyundai compact SUV Venue is a true city dweller that has caught the attention of many.
The Venue’s might boast character for a small SUV but, trust me Venue packs a much girther punch than you would expect.
Hyundai Venue Exterior Review
The Venue’s commanding and modern figure helps it out with a snazzy first impression.
As far as front features go, the SUV has split headlamps containing sharp LED daytime running lights. Not to mention, the SUV’s sculpted body lines provide it with sporty and dynamic looks. The SUV’s high ground clearance lends the Venue a slightly rugged look as well.
Reckless driving and parallel parking are now compacted into one phrase thanks to compound dimensions. Maneuvering through hectic streets has never been easier.
Lastly, I would strongly recommend Limited trims for the higher end color selection ( silver and green ) unltimately choices are limited.

Hyundai Venue Interior Review
Moreover, taking a look inside the Venue, the build quality does feel a tad bit rough for its claimed price tag, but for some reason I can’t shake off that the price is right.
In-car entertainment system features a clean infotainment layout and streamlined design.
Storage compartments on the dash offer big spaces along with roomy door pockets.
Good supportive upper body comfy seats (Mazda-like).
Limited trim bit higher features leatherette and cloth combo.
Legroom is acceptable in the rear seats but lacks center armrest and vents.
As a versatile load floor, cargo space is around 18.7 cubic feet.
At this price point, hard plastics will make their presence, but overall this is decent paraphernalia to meal you time while driving.

Sebring and Venue share one thing in common; both lack the overabundance of features. In this case one engine option. The engine is tailor from moonlight drives down the city, while not ideal for speedy lane shifts.

Great to drive and park around the city, but note that highway merges and overtakes will require more power for smooth acceleration, which will require more charm, so note that highway merges and overtakes will require more power for smooth acceleration, charm. While driving, the accessible yet vague steering will make you feel much heavier at the higher speed.
Additionally, a 33 foot turning radius makes the vehicle very easy to maneuver out of tight parking spaces.
