The Hyundai Venue is a popular car with Gen X (people born between 1965 and 1979), Y (those born between 1980 and 1994) and Z (people born between 1995 and 2015).

Hyundai Venue 2020 Won Several Accolades
The Venue was recently recognized by Consumer Guide as a 2020 Best Buy and 2020 Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own Award for the subcompact crossover segment.
The Venue competed in the 2019 WesBank Fuel Economy Tour before its official launch, returning an average fuel consumption of 5.8 l/100 km over the five days, 2 500 km event.
Hyundai launched the Venue in December 2019 in South Africa for the African, Indian, and Middle-Eastern markets. It was earlier revealed at the New York International Auto Show. There was no campaign teased to announce its arrival by the company.
Hyundai has recently been talking about moving into smarter mobility innovations and not just remain a mobility brand. Another focus of Hyundai nowadays is to give a simple brand name to the cars. One global name for one model.
Venue denotes a place to be, and the car is the functionality of that Venue.
Other popular brands of Hyundai in this category are the Creta and Kona. Kona is the baby of the group, and Creta is a bulkier SUV, so it seems the Venue falls between these two brands.
