Compact outside, spacious inside, and packed with smart technologies, the 2025 Hyundai VENUE is a fun-to-drive family hauler. Its efficient powertrain and cutting-edge safety features are just some of the things you’ll love about it.

Efficient Powertrain

The 2025 VENUE is a city-smart compact crossover designed for easy maneuverability and efficient driving across busy downtowns. Under the hood, it comes with a 1.6L SmartStream 4-cylinder engine that delivers 121 horsepower and 113 lb-ft of torque. This is more than enough for most drivers, while the standard front-wheel drivetrain pairs with a continuously variable transmission for efficient shifting and fuel economy ratings of 31 MPG combined.

Selectable Normal, Sport, and Snow drive modes are standard on all but the entry trim level, while motor-driven power steering and independent suspensions provide smooth driving dynamics in all road conditions.

Advanced Safety Features 

Each VENUE trim level comes with Hyundai’s SmartSense suite of driver assistance technologies. Standard features include forward collision avoidance assistance with pedestrian detection, lane management systems, and driver detection warnings. Rear occupant alerts are also standard, providing peace of mind knowing nobody will get left behind.

Vehicle stability management pairs with electronic stability control and a traction control system for enhanced balance and handling in dangerous driving conditions. Available upgrades include blind spot collision warning and rear cross-traffic alerts.

Practical Interior 

This crossover’s interior is built for comfort and convenience, impressing with adjustable front seats and a 60/40 split-fold rear bench. Cloth upholstery gives the cabin a sporty feel while keeping the interior easy to clean.

Dual USB charge ports and a sliding armrest storage box add convenience, while a rearview monitor provides parking guidance for easier backing in tight spots. Behind the steering wheel, a 4.2-inch gauge display makes it easy to keep an eye on the essential driving information.

Smart Technologies 

Hyundai equips each trim level of the 2025 VENUE with an eight-inch center touchscreen offered with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, as well as HD radio. Bluetooth phone control comes standard, enabling hands-free calls and audio streaming. You can also play music from other compatible devices or a USB flash drive.

The range-topper Limited trim comes with additional technologies, including built-in navigation and SiriusXM. On this trim, convenience technologies also include Hyundai’s Bluelink+ connected car services and Hyundai Pay, a feature that transforms your infotainment system into a mobile wallet you can use to pay for parking or gas at select parking lots and gas stations.

Practical and fun to drive, the 2025 VENUE is a great choice for budget-conscious families and commuters. To discover all its features, visit us at Bill Dodge Hyundai in Brunswick, ME to take it for a test drive.
