Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai Venue offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the MINI Countryman, with comparable head- and legroom. The MINI Countryman offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Venue, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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 MINI Countryman, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Venue is much slimmer than the MINI Countryman, 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 MINI Countryman.

Handling
The Hyundai Venue has a significantly smaller turning radius than the MINI Countryman, 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 MINI Countryman.

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

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