2027 Hyundai VenueDarren Martin - MotorTrendVery inexpensiveSolid build qualityGood on gasFew features or frillsMinimal cargo capacityUnsettled rideTruly affordable new cars are rare, but the Hyundai Venue remains one of the least expensive vehicles on the market. More like a tall hatchback than a traditional SUV, it made its debut for 2020 and sits below the Kona in Hyundai's lineup.Subcompact rivals to the 2027 Venue include the Nissan Kicks, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Kia Seltos.AdvertisementAdvertisementImage shown is last year model. This page will be updated with photos as information becomes available.What's NewFor 2027, the Venue SEL drops its available blue-body/white-roof two-tone paint scheme and introduces a green-body/black-roof option instead.What We ThinkBasic transportation is rarely likable, but the Venue comes close. Hyundai's smallest SUV is slow and short on features, but its tiny footprint, easy driving manners, and fuel economy make it a good option for crowded streets.Front-seat space is decent, build quality is satisfyingly solid, and the cabin design is more cheerful than its hard plastics suggest. The CVT automatic works smoothly, but the weak engine means passing and freeway merges require patience. A stiff, busy ride adds to the cheap impression.AdvertisementAdvertisementPracticality falls behind other subcompact SUVs. The rear seat is cramped, cargo capacity is minimal, all-wheel drive is unavailable, and modern tech features are sparse. Still, folding back seats and simple infotainment cover the basics.The Venue appeals as an inexpensive, efficient, straightforward runabout. Look elsewhere for refinement, speed, space, or features, but the Venue's simplicity might strike some drivers as refreshing.Top-Ranked Competitors:Kia SeltosToyota Corolla CrossSubaru CrosstrekHonda HR-VMotorTrend TestedEvery Venue is equipped with a 1.6-liter I-4 engine that makes 121 hp and 113 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a CVT and FWD; AWD is not available. In MotorTrend testing, the Venue got from 0 to 60 mph in 8.6 seconds.MPGs and RangeFuel economy for the 2027 Venue is rated at 29/33 mpg city/highway. Driving range on a full fuel tank is slightly more than 360 miles.Safety Ratings and FeaturesWhen NHTSA most recently crash-tested the Venue for 2026, it gave the SUV a four-star score on its five-star overall safety scale.Standard FeaturesEvery Venue comes with automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and automatic high-beams.Available FeaturesThe high-end Venue SEL 2-Tone Roof model gains blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.Cargo Space and Interior RoomEven by small SUV standards, the Venue is very small. Its back seat is tight, and its maximum cargo capacity isn't much more than some rivals' minimum capacity.TechnologyInfotainmentAll Venue models are equipped with a 4.2-inch gauge cluster display and 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with two front-row USB ports.Sound SystemA six-speaker audio system is standard on every 2027 Venue.AdvertisementAdvertisementAvailable UpgradesAbove the base SE trim, the Venue gains a front-row wireless charging pad, second-row USB charge ports, dual-zone climate control, and keyless entry with push-button start.ValueStandard FeaturesPricing for the 2027 Venue starts at approximately $23,000 in base SE trim. Standard exterior features include 15-inch wheels, automatic headlights, and body-color side mirrors. The cabin is equipped with cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, a 60/40 split-folding back seat, and an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen.Recommended TrimAt about $25,000, the SEL trim adds useful upgrades such as heated side mirrors, roof rails, heated front seats, a wireless charging pad, dual-zone automatic climate control, and keyless entry with push-button start. It looks a little nicer, too, thanks to 17-inch wheels and a chrome grille.
