Korean automotive brand Hyundai has added a new crossover to its popular offering – and the Venue promises to take you places across our country’s potholes and gravel roads.<\/p>\n

Hyundai, which currently ranks as South Africa\u2019s fourth popular brand, has ambitiously been expanding its SUV and crossover product portfolio over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Built on the company\u2019s global sub-compact vehicle platform, the new Hyundai Venue gives a more attainable gravel-capable crossover vehicle for South African customers.<\/p>\n

Powering the Venue is Hyundai\u2019s one-litre, three-cylinder engine. With the benefit of turbocharging, it produces 88kW and 172Nm, which drive the front wheels.<\/p>\n

There are two gearbox options, either a six-speed manual or the notably more sophisticated seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.<\/p>\n

With its relatively low kerb mass of only 1085kg, the Venue has a credible blend of performance and economy.<\/p>\n

Hyundai claims that its compact crossover will run the benchmark 0-100kph sprint in 11.3 seconds before registering a top speed of 183kph. Cruising fuel economy averages to 6.5l\/100km.<\/p>\n

Although the only available configuration is front-wheel drive, the Venue does have 195mm of ground clearance. This should make it capable of negotiating most of South Africa\u2019s gravel roads.<\/p>\n

Despite its compact size the Venue is relatively roomy inside and features clever design architecture, which allows for 350-litres of luggage space.<\/p>\n

The model range launches with five derivatives, starting at R274 900 for the six-speed manual Motion trim Venue.<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s most modestly equipped Venue rolls 15-inch steel wheels, which might not appeal to fashion conscious buyers but have great utility in the South African driving environment, with its many potholes and gravel roads.<\/p>\n

Hyundai is cognisant of infotainment and smartphone convergence being a crucial aspect of any contemporary vehicle design. As such, the Venue comes standard with an Apple CarPlay-enabled infotainment system, for three of the five variants.<\/p>\n

Pricing peaks at R369\u00a0900 for the Venue in Glide trim, with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and features such as daytime running lights, climate control and push-button start.<\/p>\n
