safety SOS, it can understand Indian accents and
can do many more things including tracking the
car if it has been stolen and immobilising it. Or
you can just hook up your phone via CarPlay or
Android Auto and get on with the driving.
First impressions
The turbo-petrol engine is smooth, the twin-
clutch DCT gearbox is refined and the interiors
feel sophisticated and premium. The steering is
one of the nicest Hyundai has done, it does not
feel overly light and is not completely devoid of
feel. The driving position is nice, visibility is great
and the ergonomics are top notch.
Next you notice the ride and how comfortably
the Venue tackles indifferent roads. Guwahati
city has some nasty speedbreakers (10 sharp
rumblers all together) a few potholes and uneven
roads and the Venue takes it all in its stride,
almost matching the XUV300's ride quality
benchmark for this segment. The Venue is an
easy car to drive — it has a light and airy feel to
it, the controls are well weighted and fall to hand
