The new-gen model boasts tons of modern amenities, including Level 2 ADAS and more
The new Hyundai Venue will be an interesting case at the NCAP testing with all the passive and active safety equipment it comes with. The compact SUV has already been unveiled in our market, and the launch is slated for November 4. It has been a resounding success in India’s compact SUV segment since its debut in 2019. Even in one of the most fiercely contested categories, it has managed to maintain strong sales and a loyal customer base. Now, with the upcoming new-generation model, Hyundai is set to spice things up further by packing in a host of additional features and creature comforts.
Will New Hyundai Venue Score 5 Stars at NCAP?
Even though the actual result will only be clear after the NCAP test, I would like to discuss the kind of safety measures Hyundai has taken with this new-gen model to ensure a high rating. For starters, the new Venue gets 71% high-strength steel, which is more than the outgoing model. In addition to that, the other prominent safety highlights include Hyundai SmartSense Level 2 ADAS, 16 advanced driver assistance systems, all 4 disc brakes, 6 airbags as standard, hill-hold assist, ABS with EBD, ESP, etc. Combining all these aspects might result in a high safety rating. We shall have to wait for the NCAP to announce the final rating.
New-Gen Hyundai Venue
The new Venue is certainly looking immensely promising with the new-age in-cabin functionalities. These are bound to attract new customers. That has been Hyundai’s strength for the longest time. Some of the main attractions of the new Venue are:
- Hyundai’s Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) System Powered by NVIDIA
- Dual (12.3-inch + 12.3-inch) Curved Panoramic Display
- Dual-Tone Interior (Black and Dove Grey)
- Ambient Lighting (Moon White)
- 70 Connected Car Features
- 2-step Reclining Rear Seats
- Connectivity Suite with Over 400 Voice Recognition Commands in 5 Languages
- Rear Window Sunshades
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Dual-tone Leather Seats with Venue Branding
- Wireless Smartphone Charging
- Voice-enabled Smart Electric Sunroof
- Terrazzo-textured Crash Pad Finish
- Ventilated Front Seats
- Electric 4-way Adjustable Driver Seats
- 8-speaker Bose Audio System
The new Venue retains its familiar powertrain options – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine. These are similar to the outgoing model. Interestingly, Hyundai will offer the diesel version with both a manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox, ensuring buyers have ample flexibility when choosing their preferred drivetrain setup. Even in the petrol guise, there will be choices between manual and automatic transmissions. More details will emerge on November 4.

Having closely tracked Hyundai’s approach to safety evolution in India, I believe the new Venue represents a major step forward for the brand. With its robust structure, extensive use of high-strength steel, and the inclusion of Level 2 ADAS, Hyundai clearly aims to position the Venue as one of the safest compact SUVs in its class. However, as we’ve seen before, features alone don’t guarantee a 5-star NCAP rating – real-world crash performance will be the true test of Hyundai’s engineering progress.
