Used 2026 Hyundai Venue SEL

The Hyundai Venue is a real winner! It’s very similar to the Mini Countryman but the Venue is weighs less and although they both have similar horsepower the Venue has a lot more pickup. The interior feels very similar to the Mini Countryman - open. The Kona made me feel claustrophobic with its slanted windshield and lower roof which I had to bend my head down in order to get in to. Also the Kona’s rear doors were more narrow which made entry difficult. I really appreciate the upright, boxy style of the Venue. It’s very comfortable and fun to own and drive. The quality so far seems spot on. Yes, there are some cheap materials - but it’s no $30K+ car either. The info/entertainment module is very friendly. Gas mileage - about 35mpg on secondary roads. Interstate driving is not too labored. Car is somewhat susceptible to cross-winds. After all, it is a shoebox shape.
