Tech Car. Blue Link, Phone key Engine, Start/Stop

Major Tech Update. Blue Link Smartphone key Engine start-stop with phone Maintenance alerts and much more!! The new Hyundai venue is a tough competitor for the segment top seller Vitara Brezza, but can it dethrone the champ Brezza. Let's see The venue comes with a fresh design, the headlamps are nicely done and overall it looks good but it doesn't strike quite like a compact SUV and glances much like a hatchback thanks to the compact dimensions (width and height). Inside the venue and there is completely a different story the venue loaded with features which have a wow factor and gimmick for some crowd. It is equipped with wireless charging blue link connectivity sunroof and Overall experience inside the cabin is pretty good. The Blue Link The blue link is a connected car tech which has the following functions- Stolen Vehicle Tracking. Remote vehicle immobilization. Smartphone key yes you can use your phone as a key. Start/stop your vehicle with a single touch on your smartphone. [FOR AT VERSION ONLY]. AI-Based Voice recognition system so that none other than you could command the vehicle. Maintenance alerts on phone and on the screen. Location sharing. Satellite Navigation. And the list is endless. Of course, the 8-inch touchscreen would be there to play entertainment stuff. Ride and comfort The ride is planted and subtle than the Japanese rival as usual thanks to coupled torsion beam and softer suspension setup. The venue doesn't let you feel what's going on under the wheels only sharp bumps and potholes filters through the cabin. The Backseat Backseat is wide; space is decent but not a game changer in the segment. The window line is higher which can hinder the airiness of cabin but sunroof takes care of it and makes you much comfortable. The rear a/c vents just fasten the process to cool down the cabin. Three occupants can easily accommodate in the back seat. Engine and Performance. On paper, the venue is equipped with a 1.4L diesel engine but gets outperformed by Vitara Brezza's 1.3 l DDIS engine. On highways still, Vitara Brezza is the champ, past 2000rpm no one can beat it even Tata Nexon, Ford Ecosport lacks that punch and quick overtaking abilities like Brezza's. Safety The Venue is equipped with EBD, ESP, Hill assist, brake assist, 6 Airbags, ISOFIX child mounts some of which lacks in competitors. There is no official safety rating from either Hyundai or euro NCAP but as the spec sheet speaks the venue can be safer than Vitara Brezza and even Nexon. Fuel Efficiency and Maintenance Venue is a fuel efficient car presenting 23.71 km/l for diesel engines. Maintenance can be an issue don't refer to the figures available on websites regarding the service cost. My Hyundai I10 service costs just double of what I pay for the Brezza's service. So you can wander. The Verdict Packed with some Gimmick Tech and Features which are also first in segment keeping in mind the safety and well being of the passenger added with decent performance engines and Styling! Yes, Hyundai Venue is a Go Choice in the segment!!
