2026 Hyundai
VENUE

As the least expensive Hyundai, the Venue plays a vital role in anchoring the automaker’s crossover-centered lineup. For 2026, Hyundai emphasizes value by dropping the Limited trim and adding the lower-priced SEL w/2-Tone Roof edition, which takes over the role at the top of the lineup. As the name implies, the room on this trim can be a contrasting white or black for added style.

At the same time, plentiful attractive attributes help the Venue stand out in a crowded field. The tall greenhouse gives the five-seat cabin an airy feeling, and a generously sized infotainment touchscreen is the centerpiece of the modern interior. Hyundai also outfits every Venue trim with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane-keeping assist for extra driver confidence.

Despite the Venue’s modest MSRP, it’s covered by America’s Best Warranty. Hyundai’s industry-leading coverage adds value in the form of five years/60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper protection, and ten years/100,000 miles on the powertrain. Venue owners also enjoy three years of complimentary standard scheduled maintenance and five years of unlimited-mileage roadside assistance.

Trims and Powertrain

Hyundai offers three versions of the 2026 Venue: SE, SEL, and SEL w/2-Tone Roof. The powertrain unites a 121-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with a front-wheel drivetrain and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). According to the EPA, this efficient subcompact achieves fuel economy of 29 mpg around town and 33 mpg on the open road. Cargo capacity behind the rear seats is 18.7 cubic feet, which can be increased to 31.9 cubic feet by folding down the back row.

Standard Features

The SE has the essentials covered with single-zone manual air conditioning, fabric upholstery, automatic projector-style halogen headlights, power side mirrors, and a 4.2-inch digital gauge display. The equipment list continues with a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, a six-way manually adjustable driver’s seat, a 60/40 split-folding rear seatback, two front-row USB ports, a 12-volt outlet, a sliding armrest storage box, and 15-inch alloy wheels.

The SEL ramps things up with a sunroof, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic temperature control, proximity keyless entry, push-button ignition, heated side mirrors, roof rails, a chrome grille, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, two second-row USB ports, wireless device charging, and 17-inch wheels.
