Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volvo XC40 than in the Hyundai Venue, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Hyundai Venue offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
The Volvo XC40 requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Hyundai Venue, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Hyundai Venue is a better financial choice over the Volvo XC40, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Venue is much slimmer than the Volvo XC40, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Hyundai Venue, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volvo XC40.

Handling
The Hyundai Venue has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Volvo XC40, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Venue has a lot less horsepower than the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
The Hyundai Venue has much lower torque than the Volvo XC40, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Venue and the Volvo XC40. The Hyundai Venue has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volvo XC40.
