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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −8.7% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −3.95%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 39.3% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 37.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $19,019. The Hyundai Venue offers a compact, easy-to-park shape that makes it especially appealing for city driving.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Performance is basically a misnomer when describing the Hyundai Venue, as it’s one of the least powerful vehicles on the market. It’s powered by a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that musters only 121 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: Hyundai equips the Venue with a simple 8-inch touchscreen for basic infotainment features, and it does have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Safety: The Venue may be a budget choice, but Hyundai supplies a good set of standard safety features, including forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, a driver-attention monitor, and a rear-occupant warning.
• Starting price: The SE starts at $22,150 including a $1,600 destination fee.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
