Refreshed Design
The Hyundai Venue facelift gets a fresh new design to make it stand out in the sea of compact SUVs. The Venue facelift features a redesigned front fascia which is more in line with Hyundai’s larger SUVs like the Tucson and Palisade. The older grille has been replaced by a square parametric grille which is finished in chrome. The projector headlamps are placed on the lower part of the bumper just like before with the LED DRLs integrated into them. Interestingly, the facelifted Venue doesn’t get fog lamps, unlike the pre-facelift version. The turn indicators now get a split design. The side doesn’t see any major changes except the new 16-inch alloy wheels. The rear gets a completely new look thanks to the horizontal LED taillights which are connected by a thin LED strip. The reversing light is placed lower down and is stacked vertically with the reflector. Other details include silver skid plates for the front and rear, a shark fin antenna, and an electric sunroof.
Home 2 Car
The Venue Facelift will have Alexa and Google Assistant onboard. So you can use your favourite AI assistant to control some features of the car. Features like, turning on the AC, find my car, locking doors, checking fuel level, etc. This brings in a whole new level of connectivity enabling users to stay connected to their car from the comfort of their homes. This feature is also a first in the compact SUV segment.

Driving Modes
The new Venue will come with three driving modes namely, Normal, Eco and Sport. Drivers will be able to choose the modes using a drive select dial on the central console. The driving mode will also change the colours of the MID display. The drive modes are not just gimmicky, they will also alter the powertrain depending on the mode.
Sounds of Nature
Do you like soothing ambient sound while driving? Well, the new Hyundai Venue will come with “Sounds of Nature” on board. The infotainment system is preloaded with sounds of tranquil beach, lively forest, rain patter, etc. This feature can also be a blessing for many who deal with bumper-to-bumper traffic every day causing stress. The ambient sounds will ensure that the drive is more relaxing.
Reclining Rear Seats
A first in the segment, the Venue will come with 2-step reclining for the rear seat. This means that the rear passengers can also get a comfortable seating position for those long journeys. The 60:40 split configuration also ensures that different passengers can enjoy varying levels of recline depending on their needs.
