Top 7 Highlights Of The 2022 Hyundai Venue

The SUV gets cosmetic and feature upgrades, but continues with the same engines as the pre-facelift version

Hyundai has launched the facelifted Venue in India. With the mid-life update, the sub-compact SUV has seen a number of changes from its previous iteration.

Here are top 7 highlights you should know about the new venue:

cool design

The Hyundai Venue has received a few cosmetic upgrades, most of which are on the dashboard. It now comes with a chrome-studded grille inspired by the future fourth-generation Tucson’s and a redesigned front bumper. While the split headlight arrangement has been retained, the 2022 Venue features new elements for the upper cluster and now comes with LED lighting.

In profile, the only noticeable change is the new alloy wheel design. At the rear, the updated SUV now has connected LED taillights (with revised geometric elements) and a modified bumper.

Option of two more colors

Hyundai continues to offer the facelifted Venue in almost the same color palette as the pre-facelift model, with the addition of two new shades. Here is an overview of all options:

1) Fiery red

2) Denim blue

3) Typhoon Silver

4) Titanium Gray

5) Polar white

6) Phantom Black (new)

7) Fiery Red with Phantom Black roof (new)

A refreshed cabin

Another important change has been made to the interior of the SUV: the interior now has a black and ivory interior theme. Other than the new interior theme and two-tone trim, everything else remains unchanged.

A more comprehensive list of features

The SUV now comes with a 4-way power driver’s seat, LED projector headlights and driving modes. Hyundai also offers it with a digitized driver display (similar to the Carens), two-step adjustable rear seats and support for Alexa and Google Assistant devices. Hyundai has even updated the BlueLink software to provide more than 60 connected features.

It continues with a lot of equipment from its pre-facelift model, such as automatic air conditioning, cruise control, sunroof, an 8-inch touchscreen system and wireless phone charging. The safety kit remains unchanged with up to six airbags, electronic stability control, a tire pressure monitoring system and hill assist control.

No changes under the hood

While we expected the Venue to get the 115 horsepower diesel-car option of the Kia Sonet with the refresh, Hyundai didn’t opt ​​for it. That means there is no change under the hood of the SUV. Here’s a look at the powertrain details:

With the facelift, the Venue has lost the MT 6-speed option with the turbo petrol unit, which was previously available.

Longer waiting times

The new Hyundai Venue would have a preliminary waiting period of three to four months.

Awards and Rivals

Hyundai has priced the facelifted venue from Rs 7.53 lakh (introductory ex-showroom pan-India) onwards. The SUV faces stiff competition from the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon, Nissan Magnite, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Mahindra XUV300, Renault Kiger and Kia Sonet.
