Hyundai Kona and Venue Sun Shades: Which Years We Cut

Hyundai sells two small SUVs here, and we cut both, but not the same way. On the Kona we cut the tailgate glass as well as the doors. On the Venue we cut the four doors and stop there.

The other thing to know before you order: our Kona set fits the first-generation Kona only. If your Kona is the newer, bigger car Hyundai brought out in 2023, we don't cut it yet.

What we cut for each

Car	Build years on the listing	Windows we cut	Not cut	Product
Hyundai Kona, first generation	2017–2023	Front doors, rear doors, tailgate glass	Second-generation Kona, 2023 on	Kona 2017–2023
Hyundai Venue	2020–2025	Front doors, rear doors	No tailgate panel for this car	Venue 2020–2025

The door sets cost the same on both cars: $49.99 for the front pair, $59.99 for the rear pair and $99.99 for all four. The Kona's extra sets are below. Anything not on the shelf when you order is made to order, which adds one to three weeks before dispatch.

Hyundai Kona: which one is yours

Our Kona listing is the first Kona, the one sold here from 2017 until Hyundai replaced it in 2023. It covers the facelifted cars from the back half of that run as well, and the Kona Electric of the same years shares the body. One of our recent Kona orders was for a 2022 Kona Electric, and it came off the same listing as the petrol cars.

The second-generation Kona is longer and its glass is a different shape, so the first-generation set won't sit right in it. We don't cut it yet. If you have one, the measuring app lets you send us the windows so we can quote it.

A 2023 Kona can be either car, because the changeover happened partway through that year. The build month on the compliance plate settles it, and our guide to build dates and generations shows where to find it. We went through the Kona changeover in more detail, alongside the Crosstrek, Vitara and Yaris Cross, in the small SUV piece, so we won't repeat it here.

The photos on the Kona listing, including the one at the top of this page, were all taken on first-generation cars. They show you what the set looks like fitted, but the compliance plate is what tells you which Kona you have.

Kona sets and prices

Besides the doors, the Kona listing has a panel for the tailgate glass. It is $59.99 on its own, and it is what makes the Kona the more flexible of the two cars:

Set	Price
Rear doors	$59.99
Tailgate glass	$59.99
Front doors plus tailgate	$99.99
Front and rear doors (4 pieces)	$99.99
Rear doors plus tailgate	$108.99
Front and rear doors plus tailgate	$154.99

There is no quarter-window piece on the Kona listing, so the set stops at the four doors and the tailgate.

The Kona shades mount on magnets. The edge sits against the painted metal of the door frame rather than on the glass, which means tint underneath isn't touched.

If the boot carries a dog or the shopping on hot days, the rear-doors-plus-tailgate set at $108.99 is the one we point people to. The tailgate glass on a small SUV is close to whatever is sitting behind the back seat.

Hyundai Venue: doors only

The Venue is a smaller car than the Kona, and its windows stand more upright. That photo shows what that means at the rear door. The glass is tall and almost square at the back, and the back seat sits right up against it. A child seat behind the driver gets the full afternoon sun through that pane.

For the Venue we sell three things: the front pair, the rear pair, or all four doors. There is no tailgate panel on this listing, so if the boot glass is the window that bothers you, the Venue set won't solve it. Ask us before ordering in that case rather than buying the doors and hoping.

The listing is named for 2020 to 2025 builds. Hyundai launched the Venue here in late 2019. If yours was built in 2019, or in 2026, send us a photo of the rear door before you order, and we'll check it against the pattern.

We don't have any Venue orders in our records yet, so we can't tell you what other Venue owners pick. On cars this size the rear pair is usually where people start, because that is the seat the kids sit in.

Kona or Venue: how the shades differ

Two things separate the two sets, and neither of them is the price of the doors.

1. The tailgate. The Kona has a panel for it. The Venue doesn't.
2. The generation question. It only applies to the Kona. The first-generation Kona is the one we cut; the 2023-on car isn't. The Venue has only one listing.

Driving with them in

Rear door shades are fine while you drive, and on the Kona so is the tailgate panel. Front door shades are for when the car is parked. The windscreen and front side windows have to stay clear while moving in every state and territory. The rules are set out state by state in our guide to whether car sun shades are legal.

On both cars the shades hold in normal driving, but take them off before you head out onto the highway.

Ordering

Start with the car. A Kona built from 2017 up to the 2023 changeover takes the 2017–2023 listing. A second-generation Kona is one we can't help with yet. A Venue takes the 2020–2025 listing, with a photo check for a 2019 or 2026 build.

Then pick the windows. For most small-SUV owners that starts with the rear pair, and our guide to which windows to cover works through why. On the Kona, add the tailgate if the boot is in use.

If something doesn't fit the way it should, you have 30 days to send it back under our returns policy. The Kona page and Venue page carry the same listings, and the full Hyundai list has the Tucson, i30, Santa Fe and the rest of the range.
