Its 2020, 121 hp, this thing is gutless. Torque is at 113. Just for reference, the Lexus 2.0 in the new UX makes 169hp. Not sure where the video found out that AWD is all on all trims, it states FWD on Hyundai.com It appears AWD is not available, unless I am not seeing it.
I have seen one, it is not bad looking in top spec. I do kind of like the no nosense dash and HVAC layout. Simple controls are quite nice. I llike how they integrated the digital displays into the HVAC dials. Redundant hard buttons is always a good thing.

Why would it be on the Hyundai website? It is a Kia product. Here....look at the proper (U.S. market) specs for it. Base engine has 147 HP, from the 2.0L non-turbo 4....and 132 ft-lbs. of torque. And AWD is an option even on the base LX version.

No problem...we all make errors. You are correct, BTW, about the Hyundai Venue not having AWD.In its present form, it is little more than a subcompact FWD crossover wagon....not an SUV. Toyota tried that wth the CH-R, and it was a mistake. We'll see how the Venue does in sales.
The number of new compact and sub-compact crossover SUVs that are hitting the market is remarkable. There is a literal flood of them.....just in the last year or so, we've seen the EcoSport, Escape, Venue, Kona, Trailblazer, Encore GX, Seltos, Corsair, XT4, nd perhaps some others that I can't think of right now.

I llike how they integrated the digital displays into the HVAC dials for top trims, but the base controls look like they are from a 90s Chevy. Redundant hard buttons is always a good thing. I like how its has lots of standard safety features, but LED headlights are an option which I think should be standard.
