Hyundai's Rejuvenated Venue Boasts Fresh New Looks And Features
One of the top-sellers in Hyundai Automotive South Africa's vehicle range - the popular and versatile Venue - has been given a rejuvenation treatment and is bound to attract a lot more attention with its new looks and a revised line-up of derivatives.
With an attractive, bolder front grille and a fresh new appearance from behind, the new Venue is bound to continue its role as a popular choice for young couples, families or singles who are shopping for a versatile car that is as comfortable in the city as on the open road and off the beaten track. It offers a unique, entry-level vehicle for consumers seeking savvy design with an abundance of safety, convenience and connectivity features.
"We have also added a range-topping Venue N Line variant with an individualized grille and several other bespoke exterior and interior design features to accentuate its status," says Stanley Anderson, sales and operations director of Hyundai Automotive South Africa.
The new Venue's inviting interior offers intuitive controls and forward-thinking design, excellent use of dimensions to create a spacious cabin for the driver and both front and rear passengers, and decent sized luggage area that adds to the practical nature of the car.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel has audio controls and - in the Fluid and N Line derivatives - cruise control buttons to make a long road trip much easier for the driver. In the new Venue, the infotainment system features an 8-inch display audio touchscreen system and rearview monitor. It includes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions for intuitive operation of the most used smartphone functions, including app-based navigation, streaming audio and voice-controlled search capabilities.
Two engines are used for the new Venue range: The 4-cylinder Kappa 1.2-litre MPi petrol engine which delivers 61 kW power and 115 Nm torque, and the 3-cylinder Kappa 1-litre TGDi petrol engine delivering 88,3 kW power and 172 Nm, coupled to a 5-speed manual or 7 speed DCT automatic transmission.
Included in the price is Hyundai's groundbreaking 7-year I 200 000 km warranty, 7-year I 150 000 km roadside assistance, and a 3-year I 45 000 km service plan. Service intervals are at 15 000 km, or annually when applicable.
