Hyundai has revealed some of the feature highlights for the upcoming new-gen Venue compact SUV. The new Venue is set to launch in India on November 4, with production underway at the company’s Talegaon plant in Maharashtra.
- New Hyundai Venue to get 12.3-inch dual-screen layout
- OTA updates and Level 2 ADAS will also be part of the package
- Hyundai claims increased body rigidity for the new Venue
New Hyundai Venue features
Dual-screen setup with bigger displays than those of the Creta.
A prominent addition to the new Venue is a curved dual-screen setup comprising a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display – larger than the 10.25-inch screens in the Creta. This is a sizeable upgrade over the current Venue, which gets an 8-inch central infotainment touchscreen and a part-digital driver’s display. The new Venue’s display setup, likely carried over from the Kia Syros, will also receive over-the-air (OTA) updates.
Safety gets a big boost.
The new Venue will have Level 2 ADAS, bringing the compact SUV further in line with the Creta, Verna and Alcazar. ADAS is available in the current Venue but in Level 1 guise. The upgrade to Level 2 ADAS should enable additional features like adaptive cruise control, safe exit warning, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, blind-spot collision avoidance, and more.
Hyundai also claims a “super strong body structure” for the new Venue, possibly indicating usage of higher-strength steel and reinforced chassis members. The carmaker could also validate these claims by having the new Venue tested by Bharat NCAP. So far, only one Hyundai model – the Tucson – has undergone Bharat NCAP testing, and it received a 5-star score.
