Comebacks are hard to pull off, especially when a brand has made its mark with signature models that already defines its equity. To grow, however, is another story, and sometimes, it pays to bring back a well-known favorite. Hyundai Motor Philippines is no stranger to second winds and with that, reintroduces the Hyundai VENUE, the nameplate that stands for day-to-day reliability, functionality, and versatility. The VENUE combines what every Filipino looks for in a daily driver – an SUV that provides premium, up-to-the-minute style with the level of driving performance that you can count on for every kind of lifestyle.
Built on Hyundai’s proven global platform, the Hyundai VENUE provides maneuverability that will take you from busy urban streets to that spontaneous weekend getaway. Powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and comes in a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission, it offers smooth and responsive driving from start to finish. To satisfy the everyday road warrior, the VENUE delivers a maximum output of 123-horsepower at 6,300 rpm and a maximum torque of 150.7 Nm at 4,850 rpm. It also offers Drive Mode Select, allowing the driver to choose between Eco, Normal, and Sport modes.
Connectivity and convenience has become key deciding factors when it comes to choosing the right vehicle, and the Hyundai VENUE is proud to have both in just the right mix. For an SUV, the VENUE may look significantly compact, but it’s spacious where it counts, beginning with the cargo hold that has enough storage for that quick grocery run or weekend trip out of town.
Inside the cabin, it features ample, comfortable seating for driver and passengers and a 4.2-inch TFT Instrument Cluster that provides essential driving information, at a glance. For less distraction while driving, the Hyundai VENUE is equipped with hands-free connectivity. The 8-inch Display Audio System features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as 2 charging ports to keep devices topped up at all times. For safer driving, the Hyundai VENUE also comes with a Rear-View Monitor that shows a live video feed of what is behind the vehicle while parking.
Lastly, the Hyundai VENUE boasts of pristine styling that is perfect for every modern Filipino. It projects a unique and confident look right up front with a bold cascading grille with a three-dimensional pattern. Its front headlights are equipped with a static bending, illuminating the road ahead with every turn of the vehicle. Adding to the premium look of the VENUE are the LED lenticular rear taillights, offering a distinct road presence, while 17-inch alloy wheels give it a refined and dynamic stance at every angle.
The Hyundai VENUE comes in 4 classic colorways to suit every individual taste: Denim Blue, Ecotronic Grey Pearl, Abyss Black Pearl, and Atlas White. Designed to be highly accessible, the VENUE starts at P798,000 for the 1.6 GL 6MT, P898,000 for the 1.6 GL 6AT, and P998,000 for the top-of-the-line 1.6 GLS 6AT.
