The small crossover that replaced the Accent is currently Hyundai’s most affordable vehicle. Drivers will love its diminutive size around town and also the ergonomic interior, but the tight rear seats and trunk aren’t ideal for long trips. Under the hood of the Venue, a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine produces 121 horsepower through a continuously variable transmission that is anything but subtle. All-wheel drive is not available, but customers can choose from three trim levels.
Pros
- Undeniable urban qualities
- Overall ergonomics/driving position
- Low ownership costs (purchase, fuel, maintenance, depreciation)
Cons
- Transmission operation
- High noise level
- Cargo space/rear seats
