The Accent is no longer being made. I googled it when I didn't notice any '23 Accents being marketed on the Hyundai website, and an auto news blog said the Venue has replaced it.
Makes sense, as the Venue is only like $1,500 more. So that will save Hyundai on production costs. And the Venue holds more cargo and is more practical, sits up a little higher for bad weather, so on.
I wonder if Kia will get rid of the Rio sedan/hatch? Probably not, because the Soul's styling may turn off a lot of buyers. And the Soul is larger by a wider margin than the Rio, as is the Venue compared to Accent.
When I first got my Venue in early '21, I hardly saw any. Now I see maybe one a day, sometimes 2.
