Hyundai has been steadily strengthening its commitment to vehicle safety in India. The brand was the first mainstream manufacturer in the country to offer six airbags as standard — a move that set a precedent and pushed the industry forward. Building on that legacy, Hyundai has updated the new Venue with substantial improvements to both active and passive safety systems. These enhancements are supported by the strengthened Global K1 platform, making the compact SUV more secure and future-ready than ever.
Level 2 ADAS: Major Leap in Driver Assistance
One of the most significant upgrades on the new Hyundai Venue is the introduction of Level 2 ADAS under Hyundai SmartSense. While the previous model offered limited Level 1 features, the 2026 Venue brings a far more comprehensive suite of driver aids designed to reduce fatigue, improve reaction time, and support safer driving conditions.
Key ADAS features now available:
1. Smart Cruise Control (Adaptive Cruise Control)
This system automatically maintains a safe distance from vehicles ahead and handles stop-and-go traffic smoothly. It reduces driver fatigue significantly during long highway journeys or slow-moving traffic.
2. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning
A rare feature even among bigger SUVs until recently, this advanced AEB system detects vehicles ahead and oncoming traffic while making turns. It can automatically brake and steer to avoid collisions at intersections.
3. Lane Keeping Assist & Lane Following Assist
These features help keep the Venue centered within its lane, minimizing unintentional lane departures and enhancing driving discipline on highways.
Superior Braking and Control
Unlike the previous model — where only the Venue N Line had four disc brakes — the new Venue now offers:
- All-four disc brakes as standard on more variants
- Enhanced braking consistency and shorter stopping distances
- Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold
This upgrade greatly boosts confidence during sudden braking or high-speed manoeuvres.
Improved 360-Degree Awareness
Safety today extends beyond crash performance. The new Hyundai Venue enhances driver visibility and awareness with upgraded tech.
Surround View Monitor (360-degree camera)
This system eliminates blind spots during tight parking, city manoeuvres, and low-speed driving. The clarity and coverage of the multi-angle camera boost confidence in dense urban environments.
Reinforced Body Shell: Stronger and Safer
Hyundai has made major structural improvements to the Venue using the Enhanced Global K1 platform. The body shell now incorporates:
- Up to 71% high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel
- Hot-stamped structural components
- Reinforced crumple zones
This ensures better crash energy absorption and significantly improves occupant protection in severe impacts.
Bharat NCAP Rating Expected Soon
According to Hyundai officials, the new Venue has already been sent for Bharat NCAP crash testing. With its upgraded structure, enhanced material usage, and robust ADAS suite, the SUV is expected to secure a strong rating. Test results are expected to be announced in the first quarter of next year.
