The 2023 Venue with ADAS (SmartSense) from Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) was recently launched in India, making it the most reasonably priced SUV to have this technology. The vehicle also boasts a new powertrain thanks to the Korean auto giant's domestic division. With this update, ADAS is now standard on four Hyundai models: the Venue, the Verna, the Tucson, and the Ioniq 5. Hyundai has revised the transmission options for the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine in addition to adding ADAS. In place of the 6-speed iMT, Hyundai now offers a 6-speed manual transmission for its S(O) and SX(O) models with the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. Meanwhile, the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is still an option for these versions. As for the current waiting period commanded by the Venue, those looking to bring home the popular SUV will have to wait for up to 30 weeks from the day of booking. This Bhopal-specific waiting period is valid for all variants, including the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine, 1.5-litre diesel engine, and 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine.
