Anyone knows how to turn on the automatic headlamp function and headlamp escort function? I have not been able to locate these settings in my BS6 DCT

For auto headlamp, the controls are very much present in the headlamp stalk itself. Adjust the right side stalk to auto position and you're done!

Attaching pic from Team-BHP official review for reference.

Regarding the escort function, I assume you mean the follow-me home feature?

Then, it is activated by keeping the headlamp stalk in auto function. Everytime you unlock the car or lock the car at night, the headlamps remain illuminated for few seconds. The time period can be adjusted too I believe. Fellow Venue owners can shed some light on this!

Thanks!

That is correct. Just to add to this, this function works only when you use your key to lock and unlock the car. If you use the unlock button on the door handle, this doesn’t work as is usual with all cars with same function.

I guess this feature is possible for the BS6 Venue and not the earlier ones. This has also been posted by another user in the previous posts.

I can confirm that this method doesn’t work for the BS4 Venue.

Not trying to give you guys advice but you can follow it at your own discretion.

Note: I don't think I heard anything about removing the temp gauge in the BS6 variant. Besides the video seems to be released just yesterday.

I feel the venue shown in this Hyundai official video is a 2019 one because it does not have paddle shifters.
This temperature gauge is so important to monitor temperature while driving and if Hyundai has removed this, it's really bad .

Also this is so self contradictory situation created by Hyundai itself : 1.0 turbo with dct is meant for lightning fast performance, but it heats up when you drive hard

I have tried short hard runs in my venue, I monitor the gauge regularly and don't let it cross the safe 70 percent limit .

I rely on this gauge so much as I tried to explain in my below videos

Hyundai Venue prices hiked by up to Rs 12,000, variants reduced from 24 to 19.

Hyundai Motor India, has removed the dual-tone versions of the SX and SX(O) variants. Since the new Sport variants, which come with red highlights on the exterior and interior, are available with dual-tone colour options and are on offer with the Venue SX and SX(O) trims, Hyundai has done away with the redundant versions. However, this means that the Venue turbo in manual form will only be available in monotone exterior finishes

Has anybody been able to get any discount on the Venue for your recent buys? Please let me know.

I wanted to book a car today, but the dealer is not ready for any discount except insurance. The car is an August manufactured vehicle based on the VIN and is in the dealership. I did a PDI and thought everything looked ok.

What do you guys think? Should I go ahead?

Also does the Venue not come with factory fitted mud flaps?

In my opinion, it is extremely tough to get a discount at this point of time. If everything looks good, just go for it.

I booked my venue in the first week of October in Mumbai, dealer gave me 35k discount. Both Shreenath and Modi are offering similar discounts on the venue currently in Mumbai.

No, it does not come with factory fitted mud flaps. The dealer offers them with mats for 3k, which is overpriced in my opinion. Better to get them after delivery.

If anyway no discount is being offered, why take a car even 2 months old? Ask him for a brand new one then. Fresh off the oven! Venue sells like hot cakes and even 2 months is a significant duration left unsold.

And no - hardly any cars come with mudflaps from factory.

Thanks for the info. Well, it so happened that the dealer asked me for a day's time to revert on the discount. While the car sells, it was surprising that they had an Aug manufactured car in stock and it was lying in the dealership. They did not revert back on the specified date and time and I assumed they do not want to offer me the car with any discount.

I went to a different dealer and have booked a new car yesterday and hopefully it will be delivered in 3 weeks.

Exactly my point. Since the dealer did not offer any discounts other than on insurance, I made it clear that i'll not accept anything manufactured more than 10days ago.
Eventually the dealer agreed and i got a car delivered which was manufactured just 8days ago.

Hi team, there is a recall for 1.0 turbo petrol model of the Hyundai Venue. They haven’t announced it anywhere, so its more like a silent recall. Got the information from Facebook owners group and confirmed the same with my SA and even the SA doesnt know the engine cut off date so I guess it applies to all the cars sold till date because a few who got it changed were 2019 models and a few were 2020 models. Its a small rubber part of fuel pump that might cause leak and most service are awaiting the part. Most got it changed during their service and is mentioned in the bill and the owners arent informed of the same unless they ask about this entry on the bill.

Thanks for highlighting, believe this is for all Venue models and not just 1.0 turbo petrol. I spoke to my SA and he suggested my 1.2 S model is applicable as well. He assured this would be done on my next possible visit. Thanks,

*** Hyundai Venue 2020 - User Experience Review ***


Hello BHPians,

Thanks to all contribution posts here on Team BHP which really helped me in my choice for selecting Hyundai Venue as my next car. I loved my Verna 2013 model but was a little upset with its low ground clearance so my next ride had to be a sub 4m SUV and as many of us here I was confused too with the available choices i.e. Brezza, Ecosport, Nexon and Venue.

After reading the reviews and looking at the awesome pics shared by fellow BHPians i shortlisted 2020 model Brezza and Venue. Visited a few showrooms, compared each model's pricing per features, discounts, comfort etc. and shortlisted recently launched Venue S+ model within 3 weeks of my search. Asked for a quotation from 4 different dealers in DELHI NCR and honestly unlike others here who got a whooping 30-35k discount, the best i could grab was a 10k reduction + exchange of my beloved Verna. The prices for Venue have further increased by 7k in October 2020. Overall I'm satisfied with my quick buy as i had to make it before the Hindu Shraddh week. This was also the reason i did not wait for the Kia Sonet (i loved it looks and feature package) to arrive for fellow BHPian to review!

So finally purchased my first "mini SUV" on 28th Aug 2020 and waited for a few city and highway rides before I come down here to post a review and thank my friends @ Team BHP. Due to WFH I have only managed to drive 1200 km in the last 2 months but these have been enough for me to post the pros & cons of this car. Some of these may be my personal opinion and I would sincerely apologize in advance if someone disagrees.

EXTERIOR: Overall the car is nicely crafted like a traditional SUV specially the front design with the large cascading grille which is more robust than the rear (which kind of looks like a hatchback as most have already suggested). The chrome finished plus-shaped pattern on the grille looks quite classy (though difficult to clean the dust out LOL). I had 6 color variants to choose from but i overall preferred Polar White which is a neutral and most sold color in our country

The auto projector headlamp cluster is surrounded by LED DRLs which gives Venue S+ a distinct look even in bright daylight to make anyone jealous of your prized possession. Projector fog lamps are first in this segment and compliments the front design very well. Turn indicators on ORVMs, shark fin antenna add to the grace. The prominent bulges for the wheel arches with 15-inch steel wheels made this model look boring. The next higher model had 16-inch diamond cut alloys and sun-roof but i didn't want to spend an additional lakh rupees for these so discussed about product warranty and got a set of 15-inch alloy installed on the same day after delivery from a reputed shop in my neighborhood (showroom was charging a huge amount for a non-Hyundai brand alloy). FYI - Hyundai brand alloys are not sold separately by showrooms. Dealer confirmed warranty is not void if tyre size is unchanged.

BEFORE and AFTER pics attached below to show how alloys changed the overall look of the car:





The LED tail lamps are attractive, clear, big enough on a safety perspective and looks quite handsome. Though reviews say the Venue looks a bit smaller than the competition even with the overall height which is the lowest in this category, its width is not the smallest and takes a bit more parking space than my previous Verna.

INTERIOR: The Venue’s cabin is simple yet solid, at least much impressive than the Brezza. In terms of the design of the dashboard, the material quality used or the storage spaces the cabin has been very well thought out to balance the feel good factor and cost. The silver accent finish on the interior plastic with the upraised infotainment screen looks premium. 1-litre bottle holders in all four doors, a shelf on the lower dash area for phone storage are awesome. The seats are well designed and comfortable (not be compared to a deep bucket like sedan seats). Fixed front central armrest is not too long but good enough. The extensive use of black color in the cabin makes it look very compact initially however i would see if i could get some complimenting light colored seat covers next month to make a difference. A 350-litre boot space is wide enough for plenty of luggage. Dedicated USB charger at both front and rear is very helpful.

Height-adjustable driver’s seat, Auto AC, rear adjustable headrest, electrically folding ORVMs are comfort plus points. Air-purifier comes with the models above S+ to improve in-cabin air quality. The 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is superb on this one. The screen is 09/10 in terms of graphics, usability and responsiveness. With a 6-speaker sound system (2 tweeters + 4 speakers) the sound is good enough but not too loud. LCD multi-information display could have been better. Auto-dimming IRVM is not an option on this model as well (i miss that from my Verna). Kudos to steering mounted audio controls on this model with touch screen player. Along with electric sunroof the higher models have wireless charging, passive keyless entry as well as push-button start etc.

PERFORMANCE: Overall the 1.2 litre engine is good enough for highways however i feel a lag during idle pickups within the city. But once it picks up speed there are no complaints! The engine is nicely tuned (after my heavy diesel experience) and there are no vibrations during the drives.

SAFETY: It has dual airbags, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX child seat mounts. Rear parking camera on this model was my selection criteria. The cornering lamp functionality is another feather to it's cap! Rear parking sensors, impact and speed sensing auto door lock, front seatbelt reminders (slight annoying) and speed alert are good additional features.

PROS: Nicely priced for car with a good looking on-road presence. All the good features explained above are the PROs to me.

CONS: Most reviews highlighted the limited rear legroom space which i agree somewhat. Even my family mentioned the same (specially after a sedan experience with Verna) however it's manageable and not too bad with a family of 3-4. Rear seat armrest could have been a standard fitment. Only one electronic remote key and one normal key on this model. A separate cabin light at the front was essential but missing. Bluetooth disconnects itself within seconds over WhatsApp call. Even with the Air recirculation mode (i.e. AC recirculating the air inside the vehicle for cooling) the outside odour enter the cabin (this was never a problem with my Verna). To confirm the settings are ok I tried the fresh air mode to bring in outside air into the car and back... same issue. This cabin sealing issue could also be the reason why there is higher noise from outside entering the cabin on road.

If anyone has any suggestions/solutions/thoughts to the Bluetooth over WhatsApp, Cabin ventilation issues, please share.

Overall i love the car and I'm confident Hyundai has ensured that the Venue tempts the sub-4 meter SUV buyers to ignore the competition. However as always there is still room for improvement for which I even sent a feedback email to Hyundai India design team in September and haven't heard anything back only the dealership jumped in to offer apologies and silly excuses! Venue is overall a good combination of design, features and price with 3-year unlimited kilometer warranty should help most make a decision they want. Luckily Hyundai Venue was the Top Selling Sub-4M SUV In August 2020 to Beats Vitara Brezza (https://gaadiwaadi.com/hyundai-venue...vitara-brezza/). This month and Sonet and Brezza have surpassed it's sales though.
