Josh Nevett drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits

- Modern tech

- Underpowered engine
Colours Available
Solid White is standard on all bar the R.S. Line, with the following finishes a $750 option:
- Universal White
- Zanzibar Blue
- Metallic Black
- Metallic Grey
- Flame Red
- Valencia Orange (R.S. Line only)
The 2023 Hyundai Venue is available in the following exterior finishes:
- Atlas White
- Abyss Black
- Shimmering Silver
- Cosmic Grey
- Fiery Red
- Intense Blue
- The Denim
All bar Atlas White cost an extra $595.
All models have a black interior as standard, though the Elite can be specified with a Denim interior colourway. This is only available on vehicles finished in Shimmering Silver or The Denim.
The Elite can be had with a two-tone exterior treatment, with a contrast colour for the roof, mirror caps and side garnishes, however this deletes the sunroof.
