Hyundai has revealed a few of the feature highlights that will be present in the upcoming new-gen Venue compact SUV. The new Venue is scheduled to launch in India on November 4, with production already underway at Hyundai’s Talegaon plant.
- New Hyundai Venue to get 12.3-inch dual screen layout with OTA updates
- Level 2 ADAS will be part of the package too
- Hyundai claims increased body rigidity for the new Venue
New Hyundai Venue features
24.6 inches worth of screens.
A prominent addition to the new Venue is a curved dual-screen setup comprising a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital driver’s display – larger than the ones in the Creta. This is a sizable 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 come equipped with Level 2 ADAS, bringing the compact SUV further in line with the Creta, Verna, and Alcazar. ADAS is available in the current Venue too, albeit 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. As it stands, only one Hyundai car – the Tucson – has undergone Bharat NCAP testing, and it received a 5-star score.
