How have Japanese rivals performed in terms of reliability in the Hyundai Venue, or long run?

Dependable, but not as solid feeling as the Japanese cars I’ve owned. The little things have started cropping up sooner than I care to admit.

The Venue has been a champ for me, 80,000 km, mostly highway and it's still running like new. A lot of it depends on how well you keep it.

Dealer service quality can be hit or miss, but reliability's been good. Some were frustrating, some were great. It is here where brands like Maruti can capitalize on their huge service network.
Does the Hyundai Venue's safety package cut it, since the vehicle hasn't been given an official GNCAP rating?
03 January 2025 06:57
It does bother me a bit that there is no GNCAP rating. The Venue does have a good set of safety features, though. For the segment, six airbags and ESC are pretty good. It makes me feel safe in it, but an official rating would have been reassuring.

I don’t think we obsess enough about GNCAP ratings. It’s well built and has all the essential safety tech. It's probably as safe in the real world as most 4 star rated cars.

The Venue feels like a tank to me as compared to an older car. But I do wonder if I made the right choice safety wise compared to something like a Nexon or XUV300 which have 5 star ratings.

My Venue had a minor fender bender and it held up really well. The crumple zones had done their job and the cabin didn’t feel torn apart. I knew it would be safe, GNCAP rating or not.

On paper, the safety features are good, but without a GNCAP rating, this is a big miss in today’s market. Without that standardized test, it's hard to objectively compare it to rivals.

I believe Hyundai should have sent the Venue to GNCAP for testing. Buyer confidence isn't good with uncertainty. But it's likely safer than so many vehicles that were popular just a few years ago.

Crash test ratings are not the only thing that make for safety. The Venue's handling and braking make it a car you could feel confident in avoiding accidents in the first place. People often overlook that aspect of safety.
So is the Hyundai Venue's interior really as "premium" as people say?
03 January 2025 06:57
I honestly don't think the "premium" talk is overblown. Yes, it’s good value, but don’t get too excited, it’s still a budget compact SUV. The plastics aren't bad, but they're not luxury grade, or anything like that.

For the segment, I'd say it's pretty darn good. It is clean layout, and the silver accents and textured surfaces really add to it. It’s way more upscale than my old Maruti.

03 January 2025 06:57
It's all relative, isn't it? Yeah, it’ll feel premium, compared to a 5 year old car. On its own, it doesn’t seem like much, but put it next to a Kia Seltos or even a higher trim Creta, and it doesn’t seem so fancy anymore. That’s good, but don’t get carried away.

I believe that people are confusing 'modern' with 'premium'. The Venue’s interior is certainly contemporary and well designed, but premium? That's stretching it. If you look closely, it’s still got plenty of hard plastics.

I've been owning a Venue for a year now, and I can tell you the interior has held up well, and still impresses me. Not luxury car level, but for the money, it definitely does punch above its weight. It’s also spot on ergonomics.
But does the Hyundai Venue’s 1.2L naturally aspirated engine feel underpowered for highway driving?
03 January 2025 06:57
It's not a powerhouse by any means but I've managed it on highways. All you need to do is plan your overtakes slightly better and use your gears smartly. The difference is really in the expectations – if you are coming from a more powerful vehicle, you will feel the difference.

I have the 1.2L and honestly it struggles on inclines when loaded up. It's ok on flat highways, but stick some hills and passengers in there and you'll be wishing for more oomph. Fine for city use though.

People tend to overstate the lack of power. It's not going to win drag races, but for normal driving, even on highways, it's fine. I travel 300km regularly and never felt unsafe or underpowered.

If you’re accustomed to turbocharged engines, the 1.2L NA will feel slow. It's all about driving style though. It's surprisingly capable and I've learned to keep momentum. It’s plus, the fuel has very good efficiency.

I wish I didn't go for the turbo version. Around town it's fine, but once on the highways, with a full car, it feels strain. If you do a lot of highway miles, the turbo is a serious consideration.
