Predicted 5-Year Cost to Own: $30,936
The 2020 Hyundai Venue is brand new but is already earning a positive reputation among subcompact crossover SUVs. One of the Venue’s most attractive features is its price tag, both new and when it comes time to sell, making it the leader of its pack in terms of its 5-year cost to own.
Starting at only $18,470 (including the $1,120 destination charge), the all-new Hyundai Venue is the least-expensive crossover in its class by a significant margin. Even when equipped with popular features like an automatic transmission, the 2020 Venue can still be had for less than $20,000. And yes, you inferred that last sentence correctly: If you’re among the few buyers who crave a manual transmission, the Venue is the rare crossover SUV that offers one.
In true Hyundai form, the Venue’s value doesn’t come at the expense of features, especially those relating to safety. Every Venue includes active safety features such as forward-collision alert with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a system that monitors driver attentiveness. These kinds of features still cost extra in some luxury cars, and yet here they are in Hyundai’s smallest and least-expensive SUV.
The Hyundai Venue’s tidy size and low ownership costs will appeal to city dwellers and drivers young and old. Yet despite its small footprint, the Venue’s boxy design equates to usable and roomier-than-expected interior space. And within that little bulldog exterior is a cabin flush with features like a standard 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As with all new Hyundais, the Venue has a class-leading warranty that covers 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain. Add it all up, and the new Venue is already a winner.
