This is Kia Stonic Vs Hyundai Venue comparison for 2021. Welcome to the comparison of the cheapest small SUVs on the market at the moment.  Both models are not underbody twins, the Venue being a larger model with different engines and drive trains. The price range of both do cross over so well worth comparing if shopping in this class of SUV. Furthermore both compete as entry level cars or ‘SUVs” for both brands.

Kia Stonic Vs Hyundai Venue exterior comparison: The Stonic is clearly based on the Kia Rio small hatchback but with raised suspension and plastic cladding to differentiate them. In comparison the Hyundai Venue is it’s own model for the time being, supposedly designed from the ground up as a mall SUV. Note that the entry level models are cheap looking but the top rangers are decent lookers and more than they price suggests. We prefer the Mercedes GLA styling of the Stonic vs the mini-van appearance of the Venue.

Kia Stonic Vs Hyundai Venue interior comparison: Different but the same is the best description of the two models. There used to be clear styling choices between the two brands but the latest generation of models are very close in concept. We prefer the Stonic interior due to looking and feeling as good as the Venue, better because the Stonic is cheaper.

Kia Stonic Vs Hyundai Venue engine and technology comparison: There are no fancy tech gadgets in either cars. The 3 cylinder turbo engine in the Stonic is arguably the pick of the power plants being contemporary tech. Decent safety systems for the price dependent on model grade is expected and auto brakes are standard. Neither are performance benchmarks bar providing sluggish – adequate power and fuel consumption.

The conclusion and winner of the Kia Stonic Vs Hyundai Venue comparison is the Stonic. The Stonic wins the comparison as it it cheaper and just as well equipped, ignoring the smaller size. However the larger Venue, in the right model grade looks twice the price of the Stonic although costs a little more.
