 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another one. If you're new to this channel, I'm GoPony, how do you new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube? And today, we are in the brand new 2024 Hyundai Venue, courtesy of Jack G and Balbo Hyundai and York PA. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so, we are in this one today because there are some nice changes for the 2024 model year. This particular SUV actually starts at under $20,000 as well, which of course is a rarity these days. You do get America's best warranty, of course being five year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10 years, 100,000 miles on the powertrain. And you also get three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance as well. So that's gonna save you some money there too. But ultimately in this video, we'll be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering feel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing and size. You can imagine there are a few different trim levels for the 2024 venue. First one being the SE starting at $19,800 under 20K, like I said, SEL, which is the one we were in today, starting at $21,800, still relatively affordable there and the limited going for $23,050. But regardless of trim level that you go with the power plant on the venue is going to be the same. Powering the little beast is a 1.6 liter naturally aspirated inline four cylinder, putting out 121 horsepower at 6,300 RPM, 113 pound feet of torque coming in at 4,500 RPM, that power being sent to the front wheels through a CVT. Zero to 60 time, approximately 8.8 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 29 in the city, 33 on the highway, taking regular, unleaded fuel. So before we do any kind of fun acceleration test here in the venue, did want to mention to you guys the drive mids, there's a circular dial located directly behind the shifter. By the way, the drive mids are for the SEL and limited trim level only. So you won't get them on the bottom trim, but they will include normal sport and snow because it is snowing out today. It's very snowy today in PA, but ultimately adjusting things like the shift points and throttle response and the steering sensitivity. So now having got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find a straightaway. Let's put the acceleration here to the test and let's see if we get any traction and let's see how quickly we can get this one here. Up to speed. All right, let's do a downhill acceleration here. Three, two, one, go. Control. That's not bad. There's a little too much snow for me to really go all out today, but yeah, it's okay. I mean, it's not the quickest thing in the world. I was going downhill so I cheated a little bit, but it's okay. Like I said, I can't really push it too much because there is still snow on the ground. It's 19 degrees out. So it's not the best climate for that kind of thing, but I do love that there's a snow driving mode. Let me just say that. There is a noticeable difference in the steering feel and the throttle response when you go ahead and put it in that sport driving mode like I just did. So I liked that as well. So just keep that in mind. If you're merging onto the highway and you know you need a little more get up and go, just go ahead and throw it in that sport driving mode and that should get the job done for you. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important. So this is important because the braking configuration is actually going to differ between the trim level. So for the SE trim level, you're actually going to get front disc rear drum brakes. However, for the SEL unlimited trims, you will find four wheel disc brakes. So it's going to be a big difference there, but I will say for the four wheel disc brakes, you actually do get a 60 zero stopping distance of only 112 feet. That's like better than a sports sedan. So typically when I say with SUVs like this, you typically find mid 120s, if not the 130s. So sports sedans are usually finding the one teens like 115, 116, a lot of Mercedes will give you that. So 112 feet, that's insane. And I can tell you guys, I've already tested the braking feel, even in the snow right now. Let me go ahead and test it in the snow. That's fine. I mean, it's not the best, the ABS kicked in of course, but it is perfectly fine. The braking feel does definitely bite when you're on not snow. So absolutely no issues there. I really honestly, 112 feet, that's a brilliant number. And the braking feel off the snow is quite brilliant. But anyways, to go along with that, touching on suspension and handling up front, you're gonna get a McPherson strut front suspension in the back, coupled torsion beam rear axle, gas pressure, shock absorbers, of course. As far as ride quality goes, it's actually been perfectly fine in my short little test drive here today. So absolutely no issues there. As far as steering feel goes, it is a noticeable difference depended upon the drive mode that you put it in. So let me go ahead and say that right there. So it's a much heavier weight to the steering when you put it in that sport driving mode. So I think you guys could probably figure that one out. But as far as cabin noise goes, as we are cruising over the snow right now, it's always super quiet when you're driving over snow. So there's a lot of cabin noise right now to get a little bit of road noise at highway speeds. But that's to be expected in a vehicle like this. But honestly, it wouldn't bother me. So it shouldn't bother you either. But then touching our rear visibility as the snow is just starting to melt on my rear view window there. I honestly, I can see perfectly fine off the back and because of the more boxier shape of the venue, we really shouldn't have any issues there either. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review, guys. Let's look, go ahead and take a look at the exterior in the snow of this 2024 Hyundai Venue. All right, so here she is you guys, the new 2024 Hyundai Venue finished in intense blue, intense like the subfrigid temperatures that we have out here today. But as always, let's go ahead and start with where this one is made. Taking a look at the VIN first character is the letter K, indicating that the venue is built and assembled in Korea, South Korea, of course. So definitely love that. But as always, let's go ahead and start up front on this one. Black front grille will come standard on the SE. You're gonna get some chrome bars as you guys can currently see on the SEL and limited trim levels. I love that look, it looks good. Projector style halogen headlights to the sides for the SEL and SE trim levels. However, you will get LED headlights with LED daytime running lights for the limited. So you gotta love that little extra illumination with the limited trim level at least. Automatic feature, of course, coming with that automatic high beams as well. And you will find a body colored front lip with some silver accents for the limited trim. Otherwise you're gonna get what you guys are currently looking at right now. But we've seen this look before. I like it and just another little side note in case you're not familiar with Hyundai that put the headlights down below. Daytime running lights are on top in case you're curious, but that about rounds out the front end of the venue. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. And so now since we are around to the side of this one, silver roof rails coming on the SEL and limited trim levels, you will find a two toned exterior with a white roof for the limited trim level only. You're gonna get some black windows surrounds for all trim levels. Body colored power adjustable side mirrors do come standard. You're gonna get the roof colored side mirrors meaning the white for the limited trim level though. So that's pretty cool. Integrated turret signals found in that front fender. I think that's pretty cool. It's kind of a JDM look. I guess you can call it KDM though since this one's made in Korea. But then take a look down at the wheel setup, 15 inch alloys for the SE, 17 inch alloys then for the SEL and limited. I actually do like the look of these wheels. They look pretty darn good. But anyways, pretty much rounds out the side profile. So now go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the venue, rear spoiler, of course, you can kind of add a high mount stop lamp just below that rear window wiper back there. Love that. LED taillights for the limited trim level only. Otherwise you're gonna get halogen bulbs. And there is a single exhaust outlet tucked away underneath of it all. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next here. As always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the venue here, when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is a manual tailgate. So it's simply just looked up on the tailgate itself and it's obviously going to open up for you. But once it opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 18.7 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there is a 6040 split. So the rear seats do fold down. So it's quite a bit of extra space then if you needed it. Rear cargo cover is going to come standard on all trim levels. So you gotta love that. Gonna find some cargo lighting back there. There's a grocery bag hook. There's some tie down anchors. And if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor, you are going to find a spare tire, which you guys know I absolutely love. But so then making our way up to the rear leg room that is going to come in at 34.3 inches for reference. I'm an even six feet tall. This is how much space I had in the back there. USB charging ports though for the SEL and limited trim levels. That is new for 2024. So I wanted to emphasize that right there. No rear ventilation unfortunately and no rear sonar armrest either. But it's all good. But now let's go ahead and make our way up to the front seats. Manual adjustable seats coming for all trim levels across the board. Cloth seating for the SEL and SEL. But then for the limited, you're going to get a cloth slash leatherette combination. So we don't have that unfortunately. But heated front seats for the limited trim level. Only I would have loved to have had those in this test drive here today. But again, it's all good. As far as seat comfort goes it's actually been perfectly fine in my short little test drive here today. So I haven't had any issues there. So it's fine for me. Then take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It will be leather outspend for the SEL and limited trim. So I did like that. Then making our way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here. You do have your Hyundai logo covered by this sticker here on the one side. But then when you flip it over lock unlock and that hold button that is going to be a remote start love seeing that. But it is all keyless entry with a push button start for the SEL and limited trim level. So that's actually new for the 2024 model year for the SEL trim level at least. So previously that was a key start. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my foot in the brake and press that engine star button cool color kind of blends in with the rest of the car. But just look at it by their drivers right knee there. And so once started up these gauges are stinking cool man. Full digital gauge cluster speedometers on your left tachometer is on your right. I absolutely love it. I think it's one of the coolest looking gauge clusters at this price point. I'll put it that way because also when you change the drive mood so normal is going to be blue when you change it to sport it's going to be a bunch of like red orange hues and snow is obviously going to be blue as well. But it's a cool little setup there. I like it. Of course it gives you how many miles you have left until you hit empty gives you 18 degrees out. So it gives you the outside temperature but what it doesn't tell you is it feels like four degrees out which is what the weather app says because of the wind. It's crazy. But anyways that gauge cluster like I said it's amazing. I actually love it especially at this price point. And so now making our way to overall interior quality you're going to find a power sunroof for the SEL trim level only oddly enough. So I do love that. Dual zoom climate control for the SEL limited trims so both driver and passenger can set their own temperatures there. Wireless phone charger for the limited trim level only dual USB charging ports for all trim levels across the board. Just in front of the shift you got a little bit of a storage there. It's not rubberized, it's plastic but still it's there nonetheless. 12 volt power outlet couple USB charging ports behind the shifter you got a couple cup holders and within the center armrest. It's actually a decent amount of storage for what this vehicle is. I do like the little ledge found just above the passenger side glove box too. Again it's not rubberized so things might slide around a little bit but it's still there. Nice little storage area there. I do like that the door handles aren't also a black plastic which most other competition would probably do there. So it's actually finished in silver so that looks good too. So overall for the price point of this vehicle the interior quality actually isn't all that bad. I don't mind it but now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen here. An eight inch color touch screen display will come standard for all trim levels. Bluetooth and audio streaming Android Auto Apple CarPlay but for the SE and SE L trims you're gonna get wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay. So that is pretty cool. Factory navigation system coming on the limited trim level only a voice memo system. You can find that up there as well. Along with your radio information and so six speakers is going to come standard for all trim levels across the board and then that that's actually newly standard for the 2024 SE that didn't used to get six speakers. So I do like that. But anyways, of course we have that six speaker sound system because it's the only one available. So let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing this morning and let's test out the clarity of this one. I get my loving home. It's okay. It's actually not bad for a six speaker sound system not the best six speaker sound system, but it's not bad. So like the bass was pretty good. Clarity you can kind of tell it's a six speaker sound system but the bass was actually above average. So it's an okay sound system. I'll just put it that way. But last thing I wanna mention you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the venue in reverse you will find a rear view camera giving you a beautiful view of the snow which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so let me start by saying IIHS top safety pick for the limited trim level only why you might ask because that's the trim that gives you the LED headlights. That's why it goes that way. But front side side current airbags do come standard in the back. You're gonna have latch AKA lower ingress and tether your children for the rear car seats rear child door locks type pressure monitoring system but also coming standard for collision avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist driver attention warning system as well. Then if you were to go with the SEL or limited you're going to add to that a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert. So overall when it comes to my final thoughts let me just start by saying this is a pretty darn good value. Why? Because you get America's best warranty. So the powertrain things like the transmission and the engine and the dry shaft that's covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles. So you got to love that but you also get three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance. So again, incredible value because this is an excellent starting price point. Even the SEL is very affordable but you can get this venue for under $20,000. So that's pretty darn cool as well. Also love that wireless Android Auto Apple Car Play comes on this one. I also love the digital gauge cluster. That's something you don't always find on this particular segment. I think the only other one I could think of is the Volkswagen Taos. Also gives you a digital gauge cluster but these two, the venue and the Taos I think those are the only two and they both look absolutely amazing honestly. The only constructive criticism that I got for this one because we are sitting in a heck of a lot of snow that we always get here in Pennsylvania is it would be nice at least to have the availability of an all wheel drive system. It doesn't have to come standard because I get that front wheel drive needs to come standard because it's a better price point but at least have the availability for all wheel drive because I could have definitely needed it today. Although this thing held up like a champ. I will say that so no issues but I'm used to driving this snow but anyways that about rounds out this one you guys thank you so much for watching.
