At the last New York Auto Show, Hyundai presented another new sport utility vehicle. After the Kona, which had a sensational debut, the Korean firm unveiled the Venue. The Hyundai Venue will become the brand's gateway to the SUV category.
The 2022 Hyundai
Venue is nice vehicle and it comes in a particularly interesting format. It is
a utility, but it remains very compact and does not lack charisma. The Venue is
a vehicle that meets the needs of the majority of people and its quality-price
ratio remains among the most impressive on the market, all makes and models
combined. Hyundai clearly wanted to dominate the small SUV market and the Venue
is proof that it succeeded. Now, you might not necessarily like the latter, as
the Hyundai lineup offers a host of equally affordable models in their
respective categories. However, if what you are looking for is a means of
transport that is affordable, charismatic and full of state-of-the-art
entertainment gadgets. In short, it is the very incarnation of beautiful, good,
inexpensive.
Hyundai announced
it a few years ago and we are starting to see the results. The company wishes
to offer products that will share a design philosophy, but which will be different
from each other. For example, a car cannot be confused with an SUV when it
comes to style. And even for all SUVs, we will find distinct elements at the
front that will ensure that we cannot mix it with the Kona or the Santa Fe, for
example.
The reference to
an SUV often implies an all-wheel-drive vehicle. That won't be the case with
the new Hyundai Venue and don't think we made a mistake here. In fact, the
thing is voluntary, because here we are addressing the urban jungle and the
young buyers who populate it. That said, residents of all municipalities in the
Eastern Townships are also Hyundai's target audience. Here, we want to appeal
to people who are looking for a vehicle that is cool, affordable, economical to
use and who do not need all-wheel drive. We saw Nissan adopt the same strategy
with the Kicks a year and a half ago. Toyota offers the C-HR in the same
philosophy.
The 2022 Hyundai Venue only offers one engine and that's more than
enough since, as I mentioned, it's an entry-level model that appeals in terms
of its format or its price. Thus, the mechanics offered by the Korean
manufacturer's SUV translates into a 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder engine that delivers
121 horsepower and 113 lb-ft of torque. Everything is mated to a standard
6-speed manual transmission, but a continuously variable automatic transmission
is also available as an option. In both cases, we are entitled to a traction
cog, which allows an average consumption of 7.9L/100km in the city and
6.9L/100km on the highway, which also makes it one of the least greedy
non-hybrid vehicles. on the market. In short, the small SUV from the Korean
manufacturer is once again playing the economy card and that is why it can only
become even more popular.
What is
distinctive about the 2022 Hyundai Venue is its design. Hyundai has gone to
great lengths to make us forget that it might not be the most spacious, the
most comfortable or the best quality vehicle in its class. On the other hand,
it has something to please the eye, and this. The Korean manufacturer enhances
this aspect of the Venue with one of the prettiest color palettes in its
category and the latter includes several 2-tone configurations.
On the technology
side, you might think with such a modest price range that the Hyundai Venue
only offers power windows, radio and air conditioning, but it's much more than
that. From its entry-level version, the Venue offers you an 8-inch touchscreen,
heated seats and compatibility with Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Things
only get better with the other option groups and higher trims. In short, you
get a lot for your money with the SUV from the Korean manufacturer.
In a world where
vehicles are more and more expensive, except we need more vehicles like the
Venue. Vehicles that offer what the majority of buyers really need and above
all what they want. Too many manufacturers focus on luxury, prestige and image.
We try to make you believe that what you should be interested in are leather
seats, high-end materials or experimental technologies, but in fact, you don't
need any of that for your daily commute. Sure, there are buyers looking for
these kinds of features, but too many builders take it for granted that
everyone cherishes the same lens. So, kudos to Hyundai for doing things
differently with the Venue.
