CarExpert's Take
- More practical than rivals
- Modern tech
- Still under $30,000
- Harsh ride
- Cheap interior materials
- Only just under $30k these days...
- An impressively packaged light SUV
- Hybrid efficiency is brilliant
- Looks pretty good in this spec
- Not nearly sporty enough for GR intent
- Can feel underpowered
- Already a bit dated inside

Reviews
The Hyundai Venue hasn't gained any new features, but prices are up. Is the flagship Elite still worth buying?
