BLIND SPOT WARNING
When you get a new car, obviously you want to show it off to all your friends and family. The Kicks and the Venue have ample space for your crew! You'll enjoy the Nissan by your side when it comes to personal or group adventures requiring you to pack gear.
The Kicks and the Venue can seat up to five passengers who’ll share over 90 cubic feet of passenger space! That’s plenty of wiggle room to bust out the air guitar or stretch out on a long journey.
Speaking of long trips, the supple cloth upholstery on both models will be just as comfortable as your living room couch. If you dig the feel of synthetic leather more, it’s an option for both vehicles!
Are you staying at a hotel, bed and breakfast, cabin, resort, or Airbnb for a week? Sounds like you’ll need to bring a bunch of essentials. If your special someone is joining you, you’ll have over 31 cubic feet of space for everyone’s luggage and toiletry bags when you fold the rear row in either SUV.
If you’re going on a friends’ reunion trip or a work bonding outing and need all seats upright, you’ll want to be driving the Nissan since it offers a larger trunk.
- Nissan Kicks Trunk Capacity: 25.3 cubic feet
- Hyundai Venue Trunk Capacity: 18.7 cubic feet
Extra space in the trunk means smooth, easy packing. There may even be room to spare!
If you live an active lifestyle, you’ll need an SUV that keeps up with you. The Nissan Kicks and the Hyundai Venue have the drive you’re looking for. Which model will blend power and efficiency effortlessly, though?
Under the hoods of both the Nissan and the Hyundai lives a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine. Their matching powertrains mean you’ll experience the same satisfying precision and peppy acceleration in both models.
The Kicks does have a slight edge in the power department:
Nissan Kicks | vs | Hyundai Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 122 HP | Horsepower | 121 HP |
| 114 lb-ft | Torque | 113 lb-ft |
The competition is close when it comes to fuel efficiency, too! However, once again, the Nissan is in the lead:
- The Nissan Kicks achieves an EPA-estimated 31 city/36 highway MPG rating.*
- The Hyundai Venue achieves an EPA-estimated 29 city/33 highway MPG rating.
The Nissan Kicks runs away with the win and leaves the gas pump in the dust, too! You may visit the gas station more frequently with the Hyundai Venue.
Safety is a sought-after aspect for many car buyers. After all, you’ll feel your best behind the wheel when it prioritizes your well-being. Nissan and Hyundai have equipped their models with standard safety suites, so you’ll be protected no matter which trim level you choose.
Nissan Safety Shield® 360 and Hyundai SmartSense are the standard driver-assistance suites in the Kicks and the Venue. These suites are designed to help prevent accidents and boost your confidence via these helpful features:
- Forward Collision Warning
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Warning
- High Beam Assist
Whether staying local or venturing elsewhere, these features will deliver you from Point A to Point B without hiccups.
You’ll also need a hand to see what’s going on behind your vehicle. The Nissan Kicks has your back. Its standard Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert feature constantly monitors the places you can’t see, like your vehicle’s flanks or backside. In doing so, you can avoid rear-end collisions or merging unsafely.
Similar features are available on the Hyundai Venue when you upgrade to a higher trim level.
We hope our comparison of the Nissan Kicks and the Hyundai Venue has eased your decision! If you’re still on the fence, we get it. Both models can offer something unique to your Amityville, NY adventures.
However, the Nissan’s spacious trunk, impressive fuel efficiency rating, and advanced safety suite make it the winner in our eyes. If you agree, book a test drive with South Shore Nissan today!
