Does your daily drive need a change of scenery? Maybe you’re at a crossroads, deciding between a car or an SUV. The flexibility of an SUV is appealing, but you’re not quite ready to sacrifice the efficiency of a car. The good news is that there’s a simple solution.
The 2025 Hyundai Venue was designed with this balance in mind. It combines above-average fuel economy and sedan-like handling with 60/40 split-folding rear seats and an adjustable two-level cargo floor. The 2025 edition has a new color choice called Mirage Green, as well as a robust suite of SmartSense driver-assist technologies, street-smart styling, and even smarter connectivity features, including standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Plus, like every new Hyundai, the ’25 Venue is backed by America’s Best Warranty. This comprehensive coverage consists of a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, a 7-year/unlimited-mile anti-perforation (rust) warranty, and 24-hour roadside assistance for 5 years/unlimited-miles. Three years/36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance is also part of the Venue’s attractive package.

The 2025 Venue trims are called SE, SEL, and Limited. Their major mechanical stats consist of a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (121 horsepower), an intelligent variable transmission, and front-wheel drivetrain. The SEL and Limited get a drive mode selector that allows the driver to choose between Normal, Snow, and Sport settings with the turn of a dial. The entire Venue lineup returns EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29 mpg around town and 33 mpg on the highway.
The entry-level SE has automatic on/off projector-halogen headlights, black cloth upholstery, a 4.2-inch gauge display, two USB charging ports, a 12-volt power outlet, 15-inch alloy wheels, and a black grille. SEL buyers have a choice of black or gray cloth, with the standard equipment roster adding a chrome grille, roof rails, a power sunroof, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, dual automatic temperature control, dual USB ports in the second row, 17-inch alloy wheels, and Proximity Key entry. The Limited is eligible for a two-tone exterior look with a black roof (paired with Ecotronic Gray or Lunar White), or a white roof with the trim-exclusive Denim paint. This topmost trim has upholstery in a combination of black cloth and leatherette, heated front seats, wireless device charging, heated side mirrors, and full LED exterior lighting (automatic headlights, daytime running lights, and taillights).
Although all-wheel drive is not available on the Venue, every trim is equipped with vehicle stability management and electronic stability control with a traction control system for added peace of mind during uncertain road conditions. As far as advanced safety technologies, all Venues have high beam assist, driver attention warning, forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, and rear occupant alert. The two higher trims build on this list with blind-spot collision warning and rear cross-traffic collision warning, while just the Limited adds cyclist detection technology to the forward collision-avoidance assist feature.
Every Venue trim channels its infotainment and multimedia through an 8-inch color touchscreen, with Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming and HD Radio coming standard. While the SE and SEL boast wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the Limited requires manually plugging in for phone connectivity. SiriusXM satellite radio, onboard navigation, and access to both the Bluelink+ and Hyundai Pay smartphone apps are exclusive to the Limited.
