While some drivers in the West Long Branch and Red Bank area choose to invest in bigger SUVs and trucks, the compact hatchback design will always hold a special place in our hearts at Circle Hyundai. At our Shrewsbury, NJ dealership, we know that larger vehicles have their place in the world, but the stylish, compact, easy-to-park Hyundai Venue will always be a go-to choice for drivers who want to stand out from the crowd.

The smallest SUV crossover in the Hyundai lineup, the Venue first premiered here in the Asbury Park area in 2020. It presents drivers with a topnotch and eye-catching alternative to the larger, boxy SUVs that dominate the road. It's available in a rainbow of attention-stealing hues and it's both easy to park and easy to maneuver in crowded situations.

While we highly recommend the Hyundai Venue for any driver from Middletown, NJ to Freehold, we also know that it's not the only small crossover that's competing for the attention of people in our area. If you love the idea of cruising to work in a small SUV but you're unsure whether our Hyundai Venue or the Mazda CX-30 is the right choice for you, we want to help.

Here, we've compared our Hyundai Venue side by side with the Mazda CX-30 in an in-depth analysis. Read on to learn more about these two models which, on the surface, appear to have a lot in common but which are actually quite different when you dive a little deeper.

Hyundai Venue vs. Mazda CX-30 – a Close-Up Look at How They Compare

However, this larger size doesn't translate to a larger interior for you and your passengers. In fact, our vehicle has more headroom and shoulder room for you to stretch out and enjoy, despite it being the smaller of the two, it maximizes its interior better to your benefit.
