Yesterday, on December 16, 2023, the all-new Hyundai Venue SUV was officially launched in Vietnam. The arrival of the Venue completes Hyundai’s SUV product lineup in the Vietnamese market. Currently, the Hyundai brand has a presence in every SUV segment, from A, B, C, D, to E.
In Vietnam, the Hyundai Venue comes in 2 versions: the 1.0 T-GDi and the 1.0 T-GDi Special. The corresponding prices of these two versions are 539 million VND and 579 million VND. It can be seen that the Hyundai Venue has a higher starting price than its competitor, the Kia Sonet (519 million VND), but lower than the Toyota Raize (552 million VND).
First launched globally in 2019, the Hyundai Venue is currently being sold in some markets such as the US, South Korea, and India. The newly launched car in Vietnam belongs to the mid-life facelift version, similar to the Hyundai Venue in India instead of the US.
Positioned in the A-segment SUV, the Hyundai Venue has dimensions of 3,995 x 1,770 x 1,645 mm (length x width x height) and a wheelbase of 2,500 mm. Meanwhile, the exterior design of this model resembles a downsized version of the Creta, Tucson, and Palisade.
The Hyundai Venue also features a large-sized cascading grille with a Parametric Dynamic design, LED projector headlights surrounded by LED daytime running lights, and a silver-colored front bumper. Above the headlights are the turn signal lights and fog lights.

On the side of the car, it is designed to be minimalistic with a horizontal crease line, standard 16-inch alloy wheels, and roof rails. At the rear, there is a T-shaped taillight cluster that is connected by a thin LED strip running across the tailgate.

The central screen of the car fully supports Android Auto, Apple Carplay, Bluetooth, and a navigation map developed by Hyundai Thanh Cong specifically for the Vietnamese market.

The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Additionally, there are 3 driving modes: Normal, Eco, and Sport.
