Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda CR-V than in the Hyundai Venue. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Honda CR-V and the Hyundai Venue.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Honda CR-V, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Venue.

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). The Honda CR-V will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Venue, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Honda CR-V is much wider than the Hyundai Venue, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Honda CR-V, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Venue.

Handling
The Honda CR-V has a significantly larger turning radius than the Hyundai Venue, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda CR-V greatly out-muscles the Hyundai Venue.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Honda CR-V does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Hyundai Venue.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda CR-V and the Hyundai Venue. With the Honda CR-V, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Hyundai Venue.
