Does the Hyundai Venue qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Hyundai Venue is built and what it means for your loan interest.

FAIL — assembled outside the USA
The Hyundai Venue does not qualify on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
The Hyundai Venue, America's most affordable Hyundai, is an imported model — Hyundai assembles it overseas and builds none of it at its Alabama or Georgia plants. It fails the OBBBA final-assembly test, so no Venue trim qualifies on that gate.
Where the Hyundai Venue is assembled
The Hyundai Venue is imported for the US market — its final assembly point is outside the United States, so it fails the assembly test regardless of the brand.
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly result is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Is the Hyundai Venue made in the USA?
No. The Venue is an imported model; Hyundai's US plants in Montgomery, Alabama and Ellabell, Georgia build other vehicles. Decode the VIN to see the assembly country for yourself.
Do the SE and SEL trims differ?
No. All 2026 Venue trims share the same overseas assembly source, so the assembly answer is the same across the lineup.
Which affordable Hyundai is US-built?
The Tucson and Santa Fe are assembled in Montgomery, Alabama, and the Santa Cruz pickup is built there too. Sourcing can vary by unit, so check the VIN before you buy.
