Should I Buy the 2024 Hyundai Venue?
Viewed in terms of its price, the Venue is a terrific bargain even when kitted out in its range-topping Limited trim. Two things hold it back: meager acceleration with its four-cylinder engine and a lack of AWD on its option sheet. To be fair, few of the Venue’s subcompact SUV rivals deliver exhilarating levels of horsepower, and the fact that the Venue is good on gas and easy to park will likely matter much more to drivers shopping for an affordable pint-sized vehicle.
