2026 Hyundai Venue
A source-linked guide to the 2026 Hyundai Venue trim range, powertrain choices, drivetrain, seating and capability. Every Venue trim shares the same 121-horsepower engine and front-wheel-drive CVT; AWD is not offered, so the two trims separate entirely by equipment. Key figures on record: Powertrain 1.6L four-cylinder, Output 121 hp, Drivetrain FWD, Seating 5. AWD is not available on any Venue trim. The Limited trim was already discontinued for 2026, with its signature equipment (heated front seats, heated mirrors, wireless device charging, a power sunroof and two-tone paint) folded into a newly expanded SEL, so the lineup is SE and SEL. Hyundai had not published any U.S. 2027 Venue specs, trims or pricing at last check, and the Venue was still sold as a 2026 model, so this page stays on 2026.
