THE bold new Hyundai Venue SUV marks a fresh entry point to the Hyundai range.
Priced from $19,990 MLP, Venue will become the new entry point to a broad Hyundai small vehicle range, offering the road presence and interior space of an SUV, combined with the parking ease, economy and manoeuvrability of a light car.
Headlining an array of standard equipment in new Venue is an 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia unit featuring Bluetooth streaming, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a reversing camera.
Hyundai’s SmartSense™ safety suite is also standard in every Venue, incorporating Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA-L/R), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), High Beam Assist (HBA) and tyre-pressure monitoring.
A three-grade line-up provides a new Venue to suit every customer, each with a flexible and economical 1.6-litre MPi engine, front-wheel drive and a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions depending on the model grade.

Stepping up to the Venue Elite, customers also get Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) systems, an 8.0-inch satellite navigation system, climate control, LED taillights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a distinctive two-tone roof.
“The new Venue is ahead of the curve, offering customers a high level of value in a practical and well-equipped compact SUV,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia Chief Executive Officer, JW Lee said.

Hyundai Venue: in detail
The Venue compact SUV draws on Hyundai’s extensive experience in the sports utility vehicle market, which dates back to the launch of the ever-popular Santa Fe in 2001.
Venue applies Hyundai’s signature cascading grille and stacked headlight design to convey a bold road presence within a compact package.
Exaggerated wheel-arches build on the frontal styling to create a squat and athletic stance that is enhanced in profile by strong character lines and standard roof rails.
An intuitive, practical and robust interior design complements Venue’s rugged exterior image.
Venue’s cabin, headlined by a large tablet-style 8.0-inch multimedia display, creates a sophisticated ambience through the use of black, grey and denim-coloured interior trim combinations.
Venue provides the high level of space and practicality that SUV buyers demand, with clever solutions such as a smartphone cubby, rear parcel shelf storage slot, and a generous 355 litres for luggage.
The vehicle benefits from a comprehensive Australian-specific chassis tune that delivers playful dynamics together with ride sophistication that is more commonly associated with larger vehicles.
Power comes from a 90kW, 151Nm 1.6-litre MPi engine featuring dual continuously variable valve timing (D-CVVT) and a two-stage variable intake system designed to maximise low-end torque and drivability.
Customers can choose either a six-speed manual or smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission in Venue Go and Active – Venue Elite features a six-speed automatic only.
A Drive Mode system in Venue automatic variants allows customers to choose a powertrain setting that best suits their driving style. In addition, on automatic variants an all-new Traction Mode system offers unique traction control calibrations suited to snow, mud or sand driving.
