Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Venue

1.6L DPI 4-cylinder engine

Venue’s 121-hp 1.6L DPI 4-cylinder engine is tuned for smooth, predictable power in city traffic. The engine’s responsive nature makes merging and passing stress-free, while the transmission delivers precise, calm acceleration that complements the Venue’s tidy footprint. The result is an SUV that is easy to position around town, confident on the highway, and pleasantly quiet in everyday use. Hyundai’s focus on calibration and durability helps keep ownership simple for commuters, students, and first-time buyers who want a reliable, right-sized powertrain without added complexity.

Hyundai SmartSense safety

Confidence comes standard. Every Venue includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FCA-Ped), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Driver Attention Warning (DAW), and High Beam Assist (HBA). On SEL trims, Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) add helpful coverage in the places drivers need it most, especially in dense parking areas and multi-lane traffic. Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) is also standard to remind you to check the back seat after you park. This thoughtful, comprehensive approach is a hallmark of Hyundai SmartSense, bringing modern driver-assistance capability to a compact, approachable SUV.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™

Venue keeps your phone at the center of your experience—without the cord. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard on all trims, making it easy to bring your playlists, podcast queue, messages, and maps along for the ride. Quick pairing and a familiar interface reduce learning curves, while native voice assistants help keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Whether you are starting a new commute, heading to the gym, or planning a weekend road trip, Venue’s infotainment keeps your routine efficient and consistent.

Drive Mode Select with Snow Mode

When the forecast changes, Venue changes with it. Available Drive Mode Select adds Normal and Sport, plus Snow Mode for enhanced traction in wintry conditions. Snow Mode integrates advanced traction control and throttle mapping to help you pull away more smoothly and maintain stability with reduced slip on low-grip surfaces. While Venue’s front-wheel-drive layout keeps things simple and light, Snow Mode is a valuable tool for seasonal trips to higher elevations and unexpected weather days.

8-inch color touchscreen and wireless device charging

Venue’s cabin is designed around clarity and convenience. The 8-inch color touchscreen is placed for quick reach and glance-friendly visibility, with clean menus and crisp graphics. Available wireless device charging keeps your compatible smartphone powered while you drive—no need to hunt for cables or ports. Combined with well-located physical controls for commonly used functions, Venue’s interface feels modern yet intuitive, reducing distraction and helping you stay focused on the road.
