Exterior & Interior Highlights

As a conveniently compact SUV, the Hyundai Venue is easy to drive while providing a comfortable ride for the driver and passengers.

The SE and SEL trim levels offer the following exterior paint colors:

  • Onyx Black
  • Ultimate Red
  • Mirage Green
  • Shimmering Silver
  • Lunar White
  • Ecotronic Gray
  • Intense Blue

If you want a more dynamic look, the SEL with a two-tone roof offers the following options: Lunar White with a black roof, Denim with a white roof, and Ecotronic Gray with a black roof.

The SE trim is designed with a black grille and 15-inch alloy wheels, while the SEL trims are designed with a chrome grille and 17-inch alloy wheels. Both SEL trims are also equipped with standard roof rails to accommodate extra cargo and heated exterior mirrors that come in handy on frosty mornings.

In the cabin, you’ll find ample space for five, with cloth seats and a convenient 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback. The Hyundai Venue interior gives you 18.7 cubic feet of cargo volume to begin with, but when you fold down the rear seats, it gives you 31.9 cubic feet.

All trim levels offer a stylish interior design. The SE comes with a black interior, the SEL offers you the choice of a black or gray interior, and the SEL with a two-tone roof offers you the choice of a black or Denim interior.

SEL trim levels enhance comfort with standard heated front seats, which you and your front-seat passenger will appreciate this winter. These trim levels also add a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob as well as dual automatic temperature control that accommodates differing temperature preferences.

A sliding armrest storage box in all trim levels adds convenience, while a sunroof (which only the SEL offers) enhances drives with extra sunlight and fresh air.
