2020 Hyundai Venue

There is no end to consumers' insatiable appetite for small SUVs. Hyundai, which launched its Kona in 2017 with great success, will debut the Venue commercially in the fall, likely in November.

A little smaller than the Kona, this little SUV will battle head-to-head with the Nissan Kicks, be offered in two-wheel drive mode only and run on a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine very similar to that of the Accent combined with a CVT unit borrowed from the latest Kia Forte.

Hyundai is betting the success of the Venue on a generous technological content and the contribution of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, not to mention an estimated average consumption of 7.1L/100 km (combined city/highway).
