Showcases 2-step rear reclining seat

Hyundai will be releasing the Venue Facelift on June 16th. The manufacturer has already unveiled the exterior of the upcoming compact SUV. Hyundai has already opened bookings and you can pay Rs. 21,000 to book the Venue Facelift. Now, the manufacturer has released a new teaser that showcases the two-step reclining rear seat.

The video is uploaded on YouTube by Hyundai India. In the video, we can see a girl sitting on the rear seat of the Venue Facelift that will now come with a two-step recline function. The rear seat does look quite close to 90 degrees in the default setting and a little bit reclined in the second setting. This might be because of the camera angle. The two-step recline function would also help in increasing the boot space slightly. So, if the person needs to fit in more stuff then he can use the more forward setting in which would increase the boot space slightly.

Another thing that the video shows us is the LED Daytime Running Lamps. Hyundai has made no changes to the LED DRLs. They are still located in the surround of the main headlamp unit just like we have seen in the current Venue.

What Hyundai has changed is the design of the LED turn indicators but they have not moved their position. The other major thing that is revamped is the new grille. The Venue now gets Hyundai’s new “parametric” grille design which we have seen on some other models of Hyundai. The front bumper is also redesigned and now gets a wide air dam.

On the side, the major change is to the design of the alloy wheels. At the rear, there are new split LED tail lamps that are connected via a light bar. The rear bumper is also redesigned with a new faux skid plate and there are also reflectors and reversing light integrated into the bumper.

Hyundai has not yet showcased the interior of the Venue Facelift. But we do know that there are two major updates to the cabin. First is the new digital instrument cluster that is taken from the Kia Carens. The second is the new steering wheel that is borrowed from the Hyundai Creta.

It retains its 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The infotainment now supports Hyundai’s Sounds of Nature and support for firmware over the air update.

Hyundai will be offering the Venue in seven colour options. There will be Titan Grey, Polar White, Denim Blue, Phantom Black, Typhoon Silver and Fiery Red. Moreover, there will be a dual-tone colour called Fiery Red with a Black roof.

There are no changes to the engine or gearboxes. So, the Venue Facelift will continue to come with a.0-litre turbo petrol, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The transmission options will be a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, 6-speed iMT and a 7-speed DSG. There will also be drive modes on offer.
