Venue is hard to beat!
I have driven Hyundai vehicles for nearly a decade. My car before this was the 2-door hatchback 2007 Accent, which I adored. The years started to show on that car and I needed an upgrade, and saw the new 2026 Venue SEL had great crash test safety ratings, lots of features, and a price point I was comfortable with at around 23-24k. I have minor gripes, such as that the seat can be uncomfortable after long drives with a lack of lumbar support, in standard mode the car takes a bit to get up to speed on the highway, the rear seats are a bit tight, and I really wish it had adaptive cruise control as a standard feature. These are VERY minor issues though, and overall this car is arguably the best value in the United States for something compact, reliable, and doesn't break the bank.
