Hyundai Venue E(O) variant: Here are all the features on offer

The new E(O) variant of Hyundai Venue gets an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. It also gets a front tweeter, front and rear speakers, and steering-mounted audio controls. Buyers also get the option to include the roof rack and shark fin antenna on this variant.

Hyundai is offering the E(O) variant of Venue with the option of additional features like idle stop and go, rear AC vents, a centre armrest with integrated storage, Type-C charging for the rear row, and electric OVRMs. Safety features include automatic headlamps, brake assist, TPMS, headlamp escort, and rear defogger. The base variant (E) of Hyundai Venue has also been updated with safety features like Electronic Stability Control, Vehicle Stability Management, and Hill Assist Control. These features will be carried over to the E(O) variant as well.

Back in April, Hyundai added three-point seatbelts and six airbags to the Venue as standard features across all variants. These features are in line with Govt. of India’s most recent safety guidelines and are expected to be encoded into the law as a part of the Motor Vehicles Act. High-end variants of Hyundai Venue were also updated with adjustable rear headsets and two-step reclining rear seats.
