2020 Venue Vs. 2020 Soul in San Antonio, TX
2020 Hyundai Venue vs. 2020 Kia Soul in San Antonio, TX
Hyundai and Kia are corporate cousins, and as such their vehicles - especially their SUVs - are often in direct competition with each other. While the Hyundai Venue is one of Hyundai’s newest SUVs, the Kia Soul has been around for quite some time, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it automatically wins this toss up. To see which of these small SUVs takes the crown, continue reading our side-by-side comparison.
Performance
When you’re looking at small SUVs, it’s important to find one with the right blend of power and fuel efficiency. The 2020 Hyundai Venue runs on a 1.6-liter engine with 121 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque while the 2020 Kia Soul is powered by a 2.0-liter engine with 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. Though the Soul offers a few extra ponies and pound-feet of torque, the Venue is more fuel efficient, helping you save more in the long run.
Interior Comparison
Though the Hyundai Venue is physically smaller than the Kia Soul, it manages to track passenger space measurements with its competitor, even besting it in several areas. Both the Venue and the Soul come standard with bright, clear infotainment displays with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto. Another area the Venue excels in is interior design. While the 2020 Venue offers a clean, mature, modern design, the 2020 Soul looks outdated and a little too quirky for many buyers’ tastes.
Safety Features
Many SUVs, including the 2020 Venue and the 2020 Soul, come standard with driver assistance features to bolster their good crash and safety test scores. The Hyundai Venue comes standard with brake assist, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, daytime running lights, electronic stability control, traction control, and integrated turn signal mirrors. On the other hand the Kia Soul only comes standard with brake assist, traction control, electronic stability control, and daytime running lights.
