Used 2020 Hyundai Venue SEL

2020 Hyundai Venue SEL Sport Utility * 1 Owner * 59K Miles * 34 mpg * Looks & Runs great * Economical & Affordable * Easy Instant Financing! Hyundai sees the Venue competing not just with vehicles like the Nissan Kicks and Ford EcoSport but also against used-crossover SUVs that don’t have modern safety and convenience technology like automatic emergency braking, Apple CarPlay or the company’s fantastic warranty. Consumers see the 2020 Hyundai Venue as a subcompact-crossover SUV that’s small in size but big in personality, with excellent interior room and a stout structure incorporating lots of high-strength steel. Available exclusively with front-wheel drive, the Venue is more of an urban utility than an off-roader, and the targeted young urban buyers will appreciate its easy maneuverability about town, not to mention the practicality and convenience provided by the hatchback design. The Venue, for the record, is 5.1 inches shorter and 1.2 inches narrower than its Hyundai Kona sibling, with a wheelbase shorter by 3.2 inches. Even though the 1.6-liter engine puts out only 121 horsepower, the 2020 Venue feels reasonably peppy, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that’s tuned to “shift” like a traditional automatic transmission. Although CVTs are commonly criticized, the one in the Venue felt good, with impressive off-the-line response and relaxed low-rpm highway cruising. On the highway at 60 mph, the Venue tachometer indicates a relaxed 2,000 rpm, accompanied by minimal road and wind noise. What’s more, head room in the Venue is excellent, and the view out the rather upright windshield is great. In fact, the view out of the Venue is excellent in all directions, and it’s easy to sense where the four corners of the vehicle are, which is a big help in tight parking lots or cities. The ride quality of the Venue feels comfortable but slightly firm, and the electrically assisted steering required a natural effort. Unlike the Kona, which has independent rear suspension, the Venue is equipped with a torsion-beam rear axle, a simpler and less costly arrangement that works with long and upright shock absorbers that do not intrude too much on the generous cargo area. For the record, the Venue has 18.7 cubic feet of cargo room behind its rear seat, which is nearly as much as the Kona’s 19.2. In the Normal Drive mode, the Venue powertrain responds in typical fashion to throttle inputs; in Sport mode, Hyundai, by keeping the CVT in lower ratios and the engine at higher rpm, makes the Venue respond much more crisply, aided further by sharper throttle tuning. Also on a positive note, Hyundai’s lane-keep assist program — which along with automatic emergency braking is standard on the Venue — proved effective but pleasantly restrained, quite unlike the abrupt steering corrections you get from some German manufacturers. The Hyundai Venue returnes 34.9 mpg, which jibes quite nicely with its EPA highway rating of 34 mpg. Though the Hyundai Venue is one of the smallest SUVs on the market, even the tiniest SUVs can provide outsized cargo flexibility by virtue of the wide-opening rear hatch and fold-down rear seats. In addition to a 60/40-split, flat-folding rear seat, the Venue offers a convenient dual-level cargo floor. With the front seats all the way back, there isn’t much legroom for rear passengers, but the headroom back there is excellent, even with the optional sunroof. Small? Yes. But compared to a subcompact sedan the Hyundai Venue is downright cavernous. Although Hyundai has design studios around the world, the new Venue was designed at company headquarters in Seoul, South Korea. The Hyundai Venue is an upright and boxy crossover SUV, which helps when carrying people and cargo, and the grille shows a family resemblance that continues all the way up to the Palisade. A strong shoulder line adds a sense of strength to the Venue, while a steeply slanted C-pillar adds a hint of aggression. In back, the wide-set taillights create a stable, planted look.
