The Hyundai Venue vs. Kia Seltos

Here at Franklin Sussex Hyundai, one of the newest entries in our showroom is the Hyundai Venue. It's a standout compact crossover that provides drivers with standout appeal, features and efficiency. It's already garnering plenty of attention from those who come in and visit us, and we're always happy to provide the details and help you see if the Venue is the right new car for you. There's another similar vehicle, the Kia Seltos that is also getting attention and people are wondering what the differences are between the vehicles. We're here to tell you and show those who are looking for a quality, everyday compact crossover that the Hyundai Venue is for you.

Size and Interior Space

The most important distinction to make about the Hyundai Venue and the Kia Seltos is that the Venue is the more compact of the two. The Venue is 159-inches long while the Seltos is around 165 inches long. That's a notable difference, and while both are classified as compact vehicles, it's about deciding what you want out of your new vehicle experience.

There's still an ample 18.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats of the Seltos while folding the rear seats down gives you 31.9 cubic feet of room. That's enough for gear, groceries, and much more. The Seltos has more room, and that's a consideration for people who need it, but if you're happy with enough space and versatility with a power liftgate and getting items in and out with ease, the Hyundai Venue is for you.

Efficiency and Performance

The Hyundai Venue is plenty efficient and that's thanks to its 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that is able to attain 27 miles per gallon in the city and up to 35 miles per gallon on the highway while producing a standard 121-horsepower. As the larger of the two vehicles, the Kia Seltos offers 146 horsepower and it too can offer 27 miles per gallon in city driving, though the Venue has the edge on highway mpg as the Seltos only is able to attain 31 miles per gallon.

Features

Both the Hyundai Venue and Kia Seltos offer a similar suite of technology and safety features. You're going to find standard touch displays with backup cameras, along with keyless entry and other features. The Venue does top the Seltos as it offers safety like lane departure warning and lane keeping assist as standard on its base models while the Seltos has it on higher grade trims.
