Which Ultra compact SUV Works Best for You? Comparing the All-New 2020 Hyundai Venue and 2019 Nissan Kicks

If there is an SUV for everyone, then even those Red Bank or Neptune drivers who don't desire a large amount of space can be accommodated. Hyundai doesn't believe every crossover has to be rugged and ready for adventure. But it should provide an exciting ride and high-quality ride. Hyundai is introducing the all-new 2020 Hyundai Venue for Asbury Park and Middletown drivers. To truly give you a sense of what the 2020 Venue is, Circle Hyundai of Shrewsbury will compare it to a competitive subcompact, the 2019 Nissan Kicks.
