That's great. I can really see value in some of the connected features like controlling the AC. Would be great entering a car which is pre-cooled in summers. Tracking the vehicle and remote engine immobilization seem to be pretty useful as well.
One thing to note is that in other markets connected features like these are offered for free for about 2-3 years, post which owners need to pay to keep using them. Let's see which route Hyundai takes in India.

Was seriously dreading this day and it is tomorrow?

Gone will be the Engine, Bhp, Torque, Ride, Handling, Steering feel, Suspension, etc..

It will now be connectivity. Our cars will be turned into cell phones and IPads. Someone help !

Next Team BHP meet

' My car is better connected than your car, port your car sim to XYZ from XYX mobile company'.

This will be what the market demands and that is what we will get. No space for the purist.

Interior sketch looks nice and clean. Surely an automatic has been sketched, Hope Hyundai will provide it on the top spec. They for some reason provide automatics only on their mid versions.

Clean and simple interiors. Knowing Hyundai, the fit and finish will be very good.

Looks like space for wireless charging has been provided in front of the gear lever.

Wonder what the jog dial is for ? Is it for different engine maps ? Or the tablet is not a touch screen ?

Start- Stop button on the left, unlike Hyundai.

Attention to detail. Lord Ganesh get his rightful space.

Those wheels in the sketches look HUGE. It does look like a Polo with roof rails in the 2nd sketch. As mentioned, the interiors do look simple and effective. Hyundai are certainly succeeding in building the hype here.

Hyundai's latest reveal of Venue,

Meet Hyundai’s Newest SUV: Venue-Small on Size; Big on Personality

From everyday workplace activities to weekend fun, Venue is a great fit in accommodating busy lifestyles with an abundance of playful and practical features including seamless safety, versatility and connectivity.

Compared to the Kona, the Venue will be a little sleeker, doing without the array of black plastic cladding that's meant to mimic the look of kneepads. We can also see a sharp crease that runs from the bonnet line through to the tail-lights, as well as character lines connecting the front and rear arches.

Up front the Venue features a version of Hyundai's signature 'Cascading' grille, while the two-tier headlight and LED daytime-running light arrangement is common to the Kona, Santa Fe and Palisade
Inside, the Venue will be a little more conventional, adopting a very minimalistic layout that does away with swathes of buttons and dials.

Sitting atop the dashboard is a large, tablet-style infotainment display, though about 3/4 is integrated into the fascia. Below that is a strip of switches flanked by two rotary dials, while a further three circular dials are positioned further down, no doubt being the controls for the air-conditioning system.

It's also rather reminiscent of the related Kia Stonic's interior, albeit with some minor differing details

There's also a hint of paddleshifters suggesting the automatic version could get this class-first feature.

Make it a driver's car, Hyundai! Pretty please?

Please make those paddles responsive like the EcoSport.
Please give the steering wheel good feel and feedback like the Vento.
Please tune the DCT to shift quick like the Polo.
Please offer automatic on the top trim like the Verna.
Please offer 6 airbags standard like the Yaris.
Please make a strong body shell like the Nexon.
Please forget everything you've done with Creta, take inspiration from Kona instead.

For once launch a car that ticks all of the essential boxes. No pressure

Not sure may be to change the auto gear. (Drive, Sports, Neutral etc). It will be very interesting if they do have different maps built in like the Nexon.
But for that they will need a bigger and more powerful engine. If the same 1.4D is offered I am not sure what power will the eco mode have, the regular 1.4D has 90PS power (same as city mode of Nexon)

Very different design approach from Hyundai. They look more 'Ford-like'. Interior design also looks less plasticky (as they are more geometric now).

Hyundai India is about to unveil the BlueLink Connected Car tech today which will debut in the upcoming VENUE SUV.

[PPS]

Apparently the unveiling of the Venue will happen onboard a cruise ship from Mumbai to Goa!

They are going to offer remote engine start/stop and remote climate control on DCT models only. A huge sign that DCT is going to be the top trim after all

Here's a quick glimpse of all the functions that'll be accessible using the Hyundai India BlueLink smartphone app
