Compact SUVs are gaining massive popularity in India, and the Hyundai Venue continues to stand strong in this segment with a perfect mix of style, comfort, safety, and smart technology. Designed for city drives and weekend road trips, the Venue offers premium features that were once limited to higher-segment SUVs. With modern safety systems, a peppy turbo petrol engine, wireless connectivity, a sunroof, and multiple convenience upgrades, it aims to be one of the best value-for-money compact SUVs available today.
What’s new in the Hyundai Venue’s top variant?
The Hyundai Venue is a 5-seater compact SUV that delivers a strong road presence while staying easy to handle in traffic. Its 998cc 1.0-liter Kappa GDi turbo petrol engine produces 118.36 bhp of power and 172 Nm of torque, making it responsive and exciting to drive. Paired with a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox, the power delivery is smooth, quick, and suitable for both city and highway cruising. The front-wheel-drive system, combined with a 5.1-meter turning radius, boosts maneuverability in tight spaces. Despite its sporty performance, the SUV returns an ARAI-claimed mileage of 18.31 km/l, which makes it fuel-efficient for everyday usage.
Visually, the Venue looks bold and well-styled from every angle. The dark chrome front grille, LED headlamps, connected LED tail lamps, roof rails, and diamond-cut alloy wheels enhance its premium appeal. Design touches like red front brake calipers, side body cladding, puddle lamps, and C-pillar garnish give it a rugged and sporty character. Buyers can choose from several attractive body colors including Titan Grey, Atlas White, Dragon Red, and more.
Interior comfort packed with premium features
Step inside, and the Venue feels upscale. The cabin offers leatherette dual-tone upholstery with terrazzo texture, a flat-bottom leather-wrapped steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and electric seat adjustments for the driver. A 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch curved touchscreen infotainment display sit together to create a high-tech cockpit experience. Hyundai has also added ambient lighting, a sunroof, 3D floor mats, a cooled glovebox, and rear AC vents to improve comfort for all passengers.
Convenience is further enhanced with multiple smart features such as wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless phone charger, Type-C USB ports for both front and rear passengers, automatic climate control, keyless entry, remote engine start, idle start/stop, cruise control, and drive modes including Eco, Normal, and Sport. The Bose premium sound system with 8 speakers ensures a theatre-like audio experience inside the cabin.
A strong focus on safety and driver assistance
Safety is one of the highlights of the Hyundai Venue. The SUV comes equipped with 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, hill start assist, vehicle stability management, a 360° camera, front and rear parking sensors, and a high-strength body structure using advanced steel.
It also includes Level-1 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, driver attention alert, high beam assist, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Additional assistance systems like auto stop-and-go traffic support, parking collision avoidance, and lane follow assist give it a major edge in the compact SUV category.
Smart connectivity and ownership perks
The Hyundai Venue supports connected car tech through Bluelink, enabling remote commands, emergency SOS, over-the-air updates, and even Alexa home-to-car integration. Rear passengers enjoy 60:40 split seats, adjustable headrests, armrests, charging ports, and 350 liters of boot space for luggage. Hyundai also backs the vehicle with a 3-year unlimited kilometer warranty, offering peace of mind for long-term ownership.
