What owners and experts like about the Hyundai Venue
Boot space
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“The new Venue with a 375-liter boot did well for itself holding one medium-size suitcase, three cabin bags, and two soft bags”
Rear seat space
Generally positivebased on 7 reviews
“This car is 20mm longer in the wheelbase than the previous car. It doesn't sound like a whole lot, but it really has worked wonders... plenty of space to tuck your entire feet under the front seat”
Seat comfort
Generally positivebased on 11 reviews
“The Venue's rear seat recline angle is quite good -- it has a one-step recline, and after driving 250km the rear passenger was basically lying down comfortably”
Handling
Generally positivebased on 5 reviews
“Handling itself is predictable and neutral, exactly what you'd expect from a city-friendly family compact SUV.”
Where the Hyundai Venue falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Ride comfort
Generally negativebased on 6 reviews
“it's still not completely sorted, and there are other compact SUVs that ride better than it. You feel a bit of movement, a little bit of bounce as you go over bumps or unruly surfaces.”
Highway stability
Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews
“there is a bit more heft to the steering, at least at low speeds, but as soon as you pick up the pace, it disappears and becomes all loose in your hands once again, which is a little bit disappointing”
