Trim Options
The 2020 Hyundai Venue will turn heads thanks to its cascading grille, chrome-accented wheels, chiseled shape, and available LED headlights. It comes in three trims: the SE, SEL, and Denim. Each one is equipped with a peppy 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 121 horsepower. The base transmission is a six-speed manual, which you can upgrade to a continuously variable automatic. The automatic transmission is standard on the SEL and Denim, and all trims have front-wheel drive.
Hyundai packs plenty of standard features into its base trim, including a suite of driver assistance and safety features and a loaded infotainment system. The SEL gains features such as interchangeable drive modes (normal, sport, and snow) and 15-inch alloy wheels, while the Denim upgrades from cloth seats to synthetic leather and gets 17-inch wheels. This top trim also comes in an exclusive blue color with a white roof, giving it a cool two-tone paint job. Convenience and Premium packages add details like a sunroof, push-button start, and heated front seats to any trim.

A Parents’ Guide to Teaching Teenagers How to Drive
Give Them a Vehicle Orientation
Before you ever take your teenager out on the road, orient them to the vehicle they will be driving. Ensure that they know where the gas pedal and brake pedal are. This may seem like common sense to you, but they might not know the difference. Show them how to operate the turn signal and windshield wipers. Demonstrate adjusting the seat to a comfortable position, and, if your steering wheel is able to move, show them how to work that too.
You’ll also need to explain the function of the rearview and side mirrors and show them proper positioning for a clear view. Going over basic vehicle functions and operations before you get out on the road will help them feel more comfortable.

Edgy New Look
Hyundai hasn’t released a new generation Tucson since 2015, so a makeover was long overdue. However, few motorists will expect something quite as cutting-edge as what this Hyundai delivers. The new Tucson has an innovative look its designer expects will “freak out” some car lovers.
To date, Hyundai has covered up its new test vehicles to avoid prying eyes, although we do know some things for sure. The latest Tucson has more angular, masculine lines than its predecessors. Its enormous geometric-embellished front grille and split headlights near the bumper are also distinctive. These features make a strong impression from the moment the Tucson approaches. If the designer’s words are anything to go by, expect a few more surprises when the Tucson hits dealerships.
Striking Good Looks
Hyundai has always delivered stylish vehicles, and the Santa Cruz is no exception. Sharp lines and planed surfaces give it a modern, edgy look. The polygonal-shaped door panels and prominent silver grille command attention. An optional two-tone roof should make the Santa Cruz appear a little sportier.
