2020 Venue vs 2020 Soul in San Antonio, TX
Hyundai and Kia, which are owned by the same parent company, are always in competition with each other as they produce similar vehicles with similar values: high-quality and high value. The Hyundai Venue is one of Hyundai's newest SUVs and is competing with the uniquely popular Kia Soul, which has been on the market for several automotive generations. There are many things both SUVs get right, but which should you ultimately choose? Let’s compare their key features to find out.
Performance
There are a lot of things to consider when you're looking for a subcompact SUV, and its powertrain is definitely high on the list. After all, you'll want to strike the right balance of power and fuel efficiency, and that's where the 2020 Hyundai Venue has an edge over the 2020 Kia Soul. The Venue gets its power from a 1.6-liter engine with 121 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque where the Soul runs on a 2.0-liter engine with 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. Though the Soul has a higher displacement, it only offers a slight boost in power and compromises on fuel efficiency – the Venue is more efficient.
Interior Comparison
Though the Hyundai Venue is physically smaller than the Kia Soul, it makes better use of its passenger space and even manages to beat the Soul in several passenger space measurements. Both the Venue and the Soul have intuitive, clear infotainment screens with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto as standard features. The Soul is known for its quirky design inside and out, but not always in a good way - many drivers are put off by the funky nature of the Soul. The Venue on the other hand offers a mature and clean design that is universally appealing.
Safety Features
It's practically expected that a SUV in this day and age should come standard with several driver assistance features, and we're glad to report that the Hyundai Venue delivers with standard brake assist, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, daytime running lights, electronic stability control, traction control, and integrated turn signal mirrors.
The Kia Soul doesn't quite live up to the Venue's standard, offering only brake assist, traction control, electronic stability control, and daytime running lights as standard features.
