Those who miss the Accent subcompact hatchback since it left the Canadian market at the end of the 2020 model year can easily turn to the Venue, a small crossover that uses the same platform and the same 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine. Output is rated at 121 horsepower, which drivers can control via a six-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission. The lack of an all-wheel drive option makes the Venue a primarily urban-oriented vehicle.
Pros
- Good overall ergonomics
- Easy to drive in the city
- Interesting warranty
Cons
- Very noisy vehicle
- Disappointing fuel consumption
- Small cargo space
