🚀 The Twin Headlines: Level 2 ADAS & A Luxury Cabin

Hyundai is not holding back. The two biggest upgrades are set to become the most talked-about features in this class.

1. Safety Gets a Massive Upgrade: Hyundai SmartSense Level 2 ADAS

This is the big one. The all-new VENUE becomes one of the first in its segment to offer a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). This isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a suite of 16 advanced safety features designed to make your drive safer and more relaxing.

Key ADAS features on the top-end variant include:

• Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC with S&G): Automatically maintains distance from the car ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA): Detects cars, pedestrians, and cyclists, warning you and even applying brakes to prevent a collision.
• Lane Following Assist (LFA) & Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): Helps keep the car centered in its lane.
• Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM): Shows a live feed of your blind spot in the digital cluster when you use your indicator.
• Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA): Notifies you when the vehicle in front of you pulls away from a stop.

2. The “Wow” Interior: Dual 12.3-inch Panoramic Displays

Step inside the top-spec model, and you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’re in a car from two segments above. The dashboard is dominated by a stunning dual 62.5 cm (12.3″ + 12.3″) curved panoramic display. This seamless screen integrates the 31.24 cm (12.3”) Full digital display cluster and the 31.24 cm (12.3”) ccNC navigation system.

This new ccNC (Connected Car Navigation Cockpit) system, which is accelerated by NVIDIA, is snappy, intuitive, and the hub for all your media, navigation, and vehicle controls. It also supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and receives Over-the-Air (OTA) updates for vehicle controllers.

✨ Daring Design: Bold and Unmistakable

The 2025 VENUE’s “bold looks” are a key part of its new personality. It now boasts a width of 1800 mm and a height of 1665 mm (with R16 wheels), giving it a much stronger road presence.

Exterior Highlights:

• Dark Chrome Radiator Grille: A new, more aggressive grille that sets the tone.
• Advanced LED Lighting: The front features striking Quad beam LED headlamps with Horizon LED positioning lamps and DRLs.
• Connecting Rear Tail Lamp: The rear is now defined by a Rear horizon LED tail lamp that connects across the tailgate, giving it a wide, modern signature.
• Sporty Touches: New R16 (D 405.6 mm) Diamond cut alloy wheels, bold skid plates (front and rear), and bridge-type roof rails complete the muscular SUV look.

🛋️ Inside the “Tech Mobile”: Comfort & Convenience

The cabin isn’t just high-tech; it’s incredibly practical and premium. The new dual-tone (Dark navy & dove grey) interior theme feels airy and sophisticated, complemented by a terrazzo-textured crashpad finish.

Premium Comfort Features:

• Bose Premium Sound System: An 8-speaker system from Bose provides an immersive audio experience.
• Front Row Ventilated Seats: A must-have feature for Indian summers, now available in the VENUE.
• Voice-Enabled Smart Electric Sunroof: Just ask, and the sunroof opens.
• Premium Touches: You also get a D-cut steering wheel, a coffee-table style centre console with ambient lighting, and an Electric 4-way driver seat.

Space & Practicality:

• 2-Step Rear Reclining Seat: A segment-first feature that lets rear passengers recline for better comfort on long journeys.
• Spacious Boot: A generous 375-litre boot (As per VDA 215 method).
• Smart Storage: The cabin is full of clever touches, including a cooled glovebox and rear window sunshade.

⚙️ The Heart of the Matter: Powertrains & A New Automatic!
