In this video, I checked out the all-new 2026 Hyundai Venue GLS and answered the big question: now that the Venue is back after being missing from Hyundai’s Philippine lineup for around 3 years, should you consider it over the Creta and other subcompact SUVs? I walked through the variants (GL MT, GL AT, and this top-of-the-line GLS) plus the available colors (blue, gray, black, and white), then went straight into the key specs—Venue sticks with a 1.6L engine, putting out 123 hp and 151 Nm, which I think is a good size for a daily driver in this segment. I also covered the exterior and practical bits, like the halogen headlights with static bending/cornering lamp, power-folding mirrors, and the key fob behavior (yes, there’s a tailgate button, but the tailgate is still manual lift). Inside, I showed you the 8-inch display audio with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay—plus physical buttons (love that)—and the 4.2-inch digital instrument cluster. We talked space and usability too: decent second-row room for my 5’7” driving position, cubby spaces, cup holders, and the cargo area. For safety, the GLS gets Hyundai SmartSense along with essentials like airbags, ESC, ABS, hill-start assist, reverse parking distance warning, and a rear-view monitor. My takeaway: it’s not the flashiest SUV, but it’s a smart, non-nonsense pick at PHP 998,000.
