1. Fully Digital Instrument Cluster

Standard Across Variants

The Hyundai Venue comes with a fully digital instrument cluster for those who want a change from the conventional analogs and to experience a more modern feel to their drive. Moreover, you get this right from its base, E variant onwards, which is a big plus for those going for entry-level models.

Competition Check- Mahindra XUV 3XO, Tata Nexon, and Kia Sonet, offer a fully digital instrument cluster but the Maruti Brezza still gets the conventional analog dials for the task.

2. Electric Sunroof

S(O)+ Variant Onwards- Rs.10.00 Lakhs

Another addition to the feature list of the Hyundai Venue is a single-pane electric sunroof which is available from the S(O)+ mid-trim onwards. However, if you want the voice-enabled sunroof, you will have to upgrade to the SX variant or above.

Competition Check- The Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza, and the Tata Nexon come with a single-pane sunroof. However, the Mahindra XUV 3XO offers the segment-first Panoramic sunroof. Interstingly, the Tata Nexon is also expected to include this via a mid-cycle update.

3. ADAS

SX(O) Trim Onwards- Rs. 12.44 Lakhs

The Hyundai Venue, staying on level with the evolving trends, offers an ADAS suite of safety tech with features like lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision avoidance assist, forward collision warning, high beam assist, driver attention alert, and much more.

Competition Check- While the XUV 3XO and Kia Sonet get the ADAS suite of safety tech, the Maruti Brezza and the Tata Nexon miss out on assistance features.

4. 6-Airbags As Standard

Standard Across Variants

I think this is one of the most appreciable decisions taken by the Hyundai to make its entire line-up equipped with 6-airbags as standard across variants. Thanks to the same, Hyundai Venue, from its base E variant gets 6 airbags which ups its safety game to another level.

Competition Check- Both the XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet, and the Tata Nexon provide the same 6-airbag setup as standard across variants whereas the Maruti Brezza still offers a dual airbag setup even with its top-spec trim, which I feel is a big setback in 2024.

5. Air Purifier

SX(O) Trim Onwards- Rs. 12.44 Lakhs

Another notable addition to the Venue's feature list is the air purifier which adds another layer of safety and convenience for the occupants with fresh air always available at your disposal. This feature, which was once reserved for just a handful of models is fast approaching a new standard fitment with the latest models.

Competition Check- While the Nexona and Sonet provide an air purifier in their higher-spec trims, Brezza does not come with this tech.

Other Notable Features Include:

• Paddle shifters
• Cooled glove box
• Rear AC vents
• Wireless Charger
• Auto headlamps
• Rear Wiper with Washer, and more
