The Hyundai Venue is a good option. This new-gen is spacious, has adequate boot space and ground clearance, and with all modern niceties, it is a well-rounded option. There are several variants that’ll fall within your budget – either a higher-spec 1.2-litre petrol-manual, or an entry/mid-spec 1.0-litre turbo-petrol manual/automatic version. We would recommend the turbo variants, as they offer more effortless performance, which will be handy on your occasional long drives.
