  • The cabin adds dual 12.3‑inch curved displays running an NVIDIA‑powered system with OTA updates, 70+ connected features, an 8‑speaker Bose audio setup, ventilated front seats and an electronic parking brake.
  • Safety tech includes Hyundai SmartSense Level‑2 ADAS with 16 assists such as Forward Collision‑Avoidance, Lane Keep Assist and Smart Cruise Control, while leaked top‑variant lists indicate a 360‑degree camera.
  • Dimensions remain sub‑4m at 3,995 mm but the Venue is wider and taller with a 20 mm longer wheelbase, bringing roomier rear seating with recline function, sunshades and wider door openings.
