ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Hyundai Venue?
A spotless recall record defines the 2023 Hyundai Venue, with zero campaigns and zero components flagged by federal regulators. This absence of defect activity contributes to a near-perfect defect-record sub-score of 18.75 out of 20, the strongest component in its safety profile. Overall, the 2023 Venue achieves a NHTSA Safety Index of 85 out of 100. This is a two-point decrease from the 2022 model's 87, though both remain in the Strong band. Crash protection scores 61 out of 70, with a 5 out of 5 star rating for side impact. Frontal impact and rollover ratings each hold at 4 out of 5 stars, with a 14 percent rollover risk and a "No Tip" dynamic result. Where the 2023 model shows limitations is in avoidance technology, contributing only 5 out of 10 to its score. While lane departure warning and electronic stability control are standard, and forward collision warning is available, the partial availability of active-avoidance features across trims constrains this sub-score.
