This is the Mitsubishi ASX Vs Hyundai Venue comparison for 2020. The Hyundai Venue is basically the mini-van of the Hyundai range but marketing would like to be classed as an SUV in terms of marketing and sales purposes. (They assume that mini-vans are uncool or no street cred) Although new model for 2020 the Hyundai Venue is deisgned much like a smaller Kia Soul with a different body rather than anything vaguely called an SUV. In comparison the Mitsubishi ASX is a genuine SUV it’s own outright platform and model and previously with some off road tech.
Mitsubishi ASX Vs Hyundai Venue exterior comparison: Lost opportunity for Hyundai – the Venue is already dated as a new model and really cements the business model for the brand not ironically described as bland. We think The Hyundai Venue is ultimately a small mini-van and probably a hatch back in many ways more than an SUV. While the Venue is not a good looking car but it’s not completely ugly either? The answer is definitely no. Wheel covers? and tiny wheels on a claimed SUV only betrays the marketing rip off. The ASX in comparison may be a much older model with a face lift, Mitsubishi should be commended on a great effort to make it look like a 2020 model. They have also chosen to democratise the model grades so they all look alike except for changing the alloy wheels, and to be honest the base model wheels look better than the top range models.
Mitsubishi ASX Vs Hyundai Venue interior comparison: The interior of the Hyundai Venue is an entry level model, with plastics that look like entry level, which is fine if the was priced $3000 cheaper not the over $20000 asking price. The interior seat materials reminds us of a 2008 Toyota Corolla – just look at the very familiar cloth seat pattern! That said it is a modern design to look at with the tablet style screen but a carpeted dash top mat would do wonders for interior ambience says something about how we feel about it. In comparison the ASX interior may look a little dated, because it is a old design but it’s still a nicer placed to be than the 2020 Hyundai Venue.
Mitsubishi ASX Vs Hyundai Venue engine and technology comparison: Once again confirms our view on the Hyundai brand being a pure cost orientated as their branding rather than anything aspirational. The small engine big body has never worked as selling in countries outside Europe. The DCT automatic is still unknown factor due to the long warranty period and could possibly be the downfall of the brand once that expires. Thankfully the Venue does have the latest (class standard) safety systems in the mid range model onwards which is great for a cheaper car. Aka, parking sensors, camera, airbags, auto brakes etc.. The ASX has the same sort of spec as the Venue and the equally old but more power engines and it’s CVT technically more reliable.
Mitsubishi ASX Vs Hyundai Venue street cred: The Mitsubishi ASX has more street cred than the Hyundai Venue. The Venue is a min-van and not an SUV and marketing insisting that it is an SUV is the main problem. Calling a dog a cat is essentially what Hyundai are trying to do and it is insulting. In other respects the Venue is a decent affordable small car nothing wrong with that, it’s just not an SUV.
The conclusion and winner of the Mitsubishi ASX Vs Hyundai Venue comparison is the ASX. The Hyundai Venue is the new entry level model Hyundai mini-van with a relatively low price for 2020 but it’s not drive away and for that you still get a manual transmission as a base model. The top range Hyundai Venue costs $6000 more then the entry level without on road costs and we don’t think it’s worth the effort – instead the mid range Venue has everything you need for a few thousand dollars less than the top of the range Venue model which doesn’t really have worthwhile equipment advantages. The ASX gives you more for the money especially with drive away deals which is why it wins.
