2021 Hyundai Venue – A Value-Packed Subcompact Crossover

The classification of “subcompact crossover” doesn’t seem to promise much space or creature comforts for drivers and passengers; however, the 2021 Hyundai Venue offers both to drivers in Kanata and across Canada.
The 2021 Hyundai Venue offers surprising interior space and desirable features at an affordable price. Its excellent value includes many standard driver-assist technologies, as well as great standard technology features. With a more attractive interior and more upscale feel, the 2021 Hyundai Venue beats out its competitors such as the Nissan Kicks and Toyota C-HR.

Models and Pricing

The 2021 Hyundai Venue is offered for sale in four model variations in Kanata and across Canada: Essential, Preferred, Trend, and Ultimate. Starting at $17,599, even the base model features an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, heated front seats, power-adjustable side mirrors, and more.
Even at $24,999, the top Ultimate trim level is still a value to buyers with all of Hyundai’s driver-assist technologies, BlueLink connected car services, navigation, automatic temperature control, and more.

Interior

Despite being labeled a “subcompact crossover,” the Venue offers a roomy cabin that has ample space for passengers in both the front and rear seats. The interior design is simple and clean, a well-assembled area that is easy for drivers to navigate. It also offers an amazing 538 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats, similar to larger SUVs.

Performance

Hyundai powers the 2021 Venue with a 121-horsepower four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT. Front-wheel drive is the only available transmission, but it still performs well in all weather conditions. With its small exterior dimensions, the Venue easily slips in and out of traffic, and its reactive steering makes it great for quick maneuvers.

Infotainment

Hyundai more than adequately equips every one of its models with infotainment and connectivity features. A user-friendly 8.0-inch touchscreen is front and centre on the dashboard with intuitive controls and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Safety

Just like with its infotainment technology, Hyundai makes sure to offer many high-tech features as standard across its model range. The 2021 Hyundai Venue is no different, and drivers in Kanata will discover that every Venue trim level comes adequately equipped with driver-assist features. These include blind-spot collision warning with lane change assist, driver attention warning, high beam assist, rear cross-traffic collision warning, lane departure warning, and more.
