The Hyundai Venue is the smallest crossover Hyundai sells in the United States, a front-wheel-drive-only subcompact that debuted at the 2019 New York auto show and went on sale as a 2020 model. Internally coded QX, it rides on the Hyundai-Kia K2 platform shared with the fifth-generation Accent and is built at Hyundai's Ulsan Plant 3 in South Korea. It slots beneath the Kona in the American lineup and, after the Accent sedan was discontinued following the 2022 model year, became the cheapest new vehicle Hyundai offers in the U.S.
Every American Venue uses the same powertrain: a 1.6-liter Smartstream four making 121 hp and 113 lb-ft, driving the front wheels. A six-speed manual was offered on the base SE for 2020 only and was dropped for 2021 because of low take rate, leaving Hyundai's Intelligent Variable Transmission — a belt-driven CVT — as the only gearbox. The lineup has stayed simple: SE and SEL throughout, plus a style-led range-topper that launched as the Denim for 2020–2021, was renamed Limited for 2022 and was dropped after 2025. A facelift with a new grille, restyled bumpers and standard 8.0-inch touchscreen arrived for 2023. A second-generation Venue (QU2) went on sale in India in late 2025, but the U.S. car continues with the original QX body.
