5 Features of New Hyundai Venue Facelift
The Hyundai Venue facelift brings the popular compact SUV to the next level with the added capabilities of a sharper design, more technology, enhanced comfort, and a heightened safety focus. The latest Venue is stuffed with down-and-up features that are more upscale than a typical sub-4-metre SUV.
If you're considering a compact SUV, here are the five most important features to consider for the new Hyundai Venue.
1. Dual 12.3-Inch Curved Panoramic Displays
The new Venue's interior features one of the largest panoramic curved display sets, with a dual 12.3-inch screen.
A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment/navigation display give the cabin a contemporary, high-tech look. The infotainment system also includes the ability to wirelessly connect to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The Hyundai Venue's cabin also feels a bit more premium with the top-end HX10, which features a Bose premium 8-speaker sound system.
2. Level 2 ADAS Safety Technology
One of the best features of the new Venue is its safety.
The SUV is equipped with Hyundai SmartSense Level 2 ADAS, which includes features like Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and High Beam Assist.
The Venue also has additional features like a Surround View Monitor (SVM) and Blind Spot View Monitor on select variants. There are six standard airbags in the range.
This one is definitely one of the most critical upgrades for the new Venue, especially for those who value security.
3. Voice-Enabled Smart Electric Sunroof
The sunroof continues to be one of the most desirable features in this segment, but Hyundai has taken it a step further.
The top-end Venue is equipped with a voice-controlled smart electric sunroof so that occupants can control the sunroof with voice commands. It provides an even more upscale and ergonomic twist to the SUV, particularly for tech-savvy buyers.
4. Ventilated Front Seats
Time of year is a factor that can make driving long distances uncomfortable, making front-ventilated seats a great thing to have, made available with the new Venue.
It's available in higher variants and aids comfort by offering air circulation on the seat surface. The cabin is more luxurious than usual, thanks to its automatic climate control system and the Venue's high-quality leatherette upholstery.
5. Connected-Car Technology & OTA Updates
The new Venue is more than just hardware. Hyundai has also been very focused on connected technology.
The SUV is equipped with 70 connected-car features on qualifying models and Hyundai Bluelink connected-car technology. It additionally helps with Controller Over-the-Air (OTA) improvements, which means that certain vehicle software updates can be done without the traditional service centre approach.
This makes the Venue more of a connected device on wheels than a traditional compact SUV.
Final Verdict
The new Hyundai Venue combines top-tier expectations of technology, comfort, and protection into a compact SUV package. What it has to offer is the 12.3-inch displays (twice), Level 2 ADAS, sunroof (with voice control), ventilated seats, and connected-car amenities.
The new Venue has a lot to offer for buyers who want an SUV with lots of features in the urban market—and is one of the more interesting SUVs in the segment thanks to its available technology package.
