CarTell take

We haven't driven the Venue yet. On paper, active at $28,000 plus on-roads adds adaptive cruise and blind spot monitor and is the sweet spot. Compare drive-away pricing against the MG ZS Hybrid+ at $25,990 drive-away if fuel use matters.

Why consider it

  • One of the last brand-new SUVs under $25,000 plus on-roads in Australia.
  • 355 L boot is class-leading for a light SUV, 6-speed torque converter auto avoids DCT lurch, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are standard from base.

What to know

  • 4-star ANCAP against the 2019 protocol, no hybrid option, 7.2 L per 100 km combined is high for the class, and 90 kW feels modest with four adults aboard.

Who it suits

First-car buyers and city commuters who want a brand-new SUV under $30,000 drive-away with Hyundai dealer support, capped-price servicing and the 5-year warranty.
