Should I buy a used Hyundai Venue now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: it uses a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 121 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque, and the power flows through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to the front wheels exclusively.
• Tech: it has a simple 8-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
