Small SUV, Big City Life: A Look at the 2024 Hyundai Venue

Living in the big city often means dealing with tight parking spots and narrow one-way streets. It can be nerve-wracking trying to maneuver a large SUV in these conditions without ripping off a side mirror! That's why Hyundai created the Venue - a tiny crossover made for urban environments. 

As one of Hyundai's newest vehicles, the new 2024 Hyundai Venue packs a lot of features into a small package. Lucky for you, we have this awesome little SUV in stock at Patriot Hyundai in Bartlesville, OK. Priced thousands less than other subcompact SUVs, you won't find a better-equipped vehicle at this value. Before visiting us for a test drive, be sure to check out our online research hub to learn what to know before buying any car. 

This article will explore everything the 2024 Venue has to offer - from the tech features to mileage ratings, color options, and trim levels. 

"Tiny SUV" might make you nervous about the interior space. No one wants to feel cramped in their car. Despite its diminutive size, the 2024 Hyundai Venue offers more interior room than you might think. With the rear seats folded down, this subcompact SUV delivers 31.9 cubic feet of cargo volume. While not best-in-class, it provides enough space for daily essentials and weekend getaways. The Venue makes up for its small footprint with versatility! 

The Venue also packs plenty of safety tech as part of its Hyundai SmartSense suite. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection uses a front-facing camera and radar to help detect pedestrians and vehicles in your path. If a collision is imminent, it'll automatically apply the brakes.

And Driver Attention Warning monitors your driving patterns. If it senses you are getting tired or distracted, it'll give you a little reminder to focus up or pull over for a break. 

Powering the 2024 Venue is a 1.6-liter Smartstream 4-cylinder engine that generates 121 horsepower and 113 lb-ft of torque. Working alongside a smart transmission, the Venue's 11.9-gallon fuel tank can carry you an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city. Out on the highway, it does even better at 33 mpg. Combined, you're looking at 31 mpg.

To put that in perspective, the Venue's city mileage is on par with some sedans. 

It's worth noting that those figures apply to front-wheel drive models. The available all-wheel drive system slightly reduces economy, but for shoppers needing enhanced traction, the minimal mileage penalty may be worthwhile. 

If your style is more understated and classic, the Venue offers sophisticated hues like Onyx Black, Ecotronic Gray, Shimmering Silver, and Lunar White. These neutral tones will never go out of style and are easy to keep clean. 

But those wanting a bolder exterior can select colors that pop out at the eyes. Green Apple, Ultimate Red, and Intense Blue are vibrant colors that showcase the Venue's playful side. 

The range-topping Limited even offers its own unique Denim exterior with a white contrast roof. As the name implies, this two-tone color scheme combines a denim blue lower body with a crisp white upper section. It's gorgeous! The interior carries the theme through with chic denim upholstery. 

The Venue's interior also comes in classic black or gray for other trim levels. 

Even in base SE trim, the 2024 Venue comes well-equipped with an impressive list of standard features. 

Right from the start, it includes an 8-inch color touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration and Bluetooth hands-free calling. So you can easily sync up your smartphone and access your music, maps, and more. More of a radio fan? You'll appreciate the crisp sound of the SE's standard HD Radio. 

Backing up is a breeze with the SE's standard rear-view monitor. It displays a live feed of what's behind you, complete with helpful parking guidelines. 

The SE also includes the 1.6-liter engine with IVT transmission plus fundamental safety equipment. Nice 15-inch alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, and a 60/40 folding rear seat demonstrate this is no bare-bones base model. The Venue SE delivers exceptional value in a petite but practical package. 

Moving up to the midrange SEL trim level adds more style and substance to the Hyundai Venue. It's still incredibly affordable compared to other SUVs in its class but offers some enticing upgrades. 

Larger 17-inch alloy wheels and chrome exterior accents provide added curb appeal. And roof side rails give you the option to add crossbars and carry extra cargo like bikes or kayaks. However, one of the SEL's most impressive features is the power tilt-and-slide sunroof. It's the only Venue trim that offers this amenity, so if you love open-air driving, the SEL is the way to go. 

Inside, you'll find a few luxurious touches like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The proximity key with push button start means you can keep your key in your pocket or purse and just push a button to start the engine. 

The Venue's driver-centric cockpit gets upgraded with the SEL's auto-up/down driver's power window. Another thoughtful feature is the addition of second-row USB power outlets, which weren't there in previous years. Now, your backseat passengers can keep their devices charged on long road trips. 

Finally, the SEL comes with Drive Mode Select, which includes a special Snow Mode for added traction in slippery conditions.

The aptly named Limited Trim truly wants for nothing. Heated front seats take the edge off chilly mornings. Plus, those seats are wrapped in a stylish denim-inspired combination leatherette upholstery. 

The Limited is the only Venue trim that comes standard with Hyundai's new Bluelink Connected Car System. This innovative subscription service lets you control your car from your smartphone. 

While all Venue trims include an 8-inch touchscreen, the Limited ups the ante with standard built-in navigation. So, even if your phone loses service, you'll still be able to find your way. Speaking of phones, the Limited makes it easy to keep yours charged with the addition of a wireless charging pad. Set your compatible device on the pad and let it juice up while driving. 

On the safety front, the Limited adds pedestrian and cyclist detection to its collision avoidance system for all-around protection. Exclusive LED headlights and taillights sharpen the style while improving nighttime visibility. Daytime running lights also make an appearance.
