Very Compact, Connected & Peppy
Motown India|June 2019

The new Hyundai Venue is a connected sub compact SUV that will compete with the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, Ford EcoSport and Tata Nexon. So can it beat its rivals just on the basis of its connected features? We check it out.

EXTERIORS

The Hyundai Venue compact SUV has a dark chrome front grille which includes the new Hyundai signature face. The projector headlamps are cube shaped with LED DRLs surrounding it. It also has projector fog lamps. Silver skid plates add to the style quotient.

The side profile of this SUV clearly indicates a sloping roof with several sporty elements to enhance its appeal. The bold wheel arches, the 16 inches diamond cut alloy wheels, the roof rails, shark fin antenna, chrome finish outside door handles and the sunroof enhance the vehicles appeal.

As you move to the back, you get to see LED tail lamps with a crystal effect and an overall well designed rear. The vehicle has a length of 3995mm, width of 1770mm and a height of 1605mm with roof rack. It has a wheel base of 2500mm.

INTERIORS

Three interior colour themes are being offered for customers. The Venue I drove had a black single tone interior though there are a khaki dual tone and denim dual tone on offer. Everything is very sporty and top notch in the cabin. The seats both in front and rear are very comfortable and score big on under thigh support, apart from ample headroom and knee room. The boot area too is quite voluminous.

An 8 inches touch screen, a sporty front design, a supervision cluster for multiple information, Fully Automatic Temperature Control with digital display, AC vents with silver surround, high gloss finish on centre fascia, gear knob, AC and audio knobs, leatherette wrapped steering and metal finish inside door handles are some of the plush interior features. The steering wheel can be adjusted for tilt but it is not telescopic.
