2022 Hyundai Venue Limited FWD CVT

Model Highlights

Mechanically, all versions of the Hyundai Venue are pretty similar. All versions are powered by a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine making 121 horsepower with that power being sent to the front wheels via Hyundai's IVT. The IVT, like other continuously variable transmissions on the market, doesn't have set gears and is instead able to adjust the transmission ratios on the fly for maximum efficiency. Though the Venue makes only modest power, it's light enough that the vehicle doesn't feel too sluggish and the upshot is about 33 mpg on the highway, excellent for a crossover vehicle. There are only three trim levels for the Venue starting with the base SE version. Standard features include an 8-inch color touchscreen in the dash housing both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, a USB input and auxiliary input jacks for smartphone and device connectivity, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, Hyundai's Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection systems and power adjustable mirrors. The SEL comes standard with better rear brakes, roof rails, 17-inch alloy wheels, a power sunroof, automatic headlights, a drive mode selector with an included snow mode, automatic temperature control for the HVAC system, dual USB ports, steering wheel mounted audio controls and a nicer stereo. The top of the line version of the Venue is dubbed the Limited trim. which gets heated front seats, LED headlights and taillights, LED daytime running lights, a blind spot warning system, a rear collision warning system, 17-inch alloy wheels, heated exterior mirrors and a chrome grille.
