EXTERIOR
In addition to having alloy wheels, LED headlights, taillamps, keyless entry, electrically retractable and adjustable ORVMs, 16-inch alloy wheels, and an electric sunroof, the Venue also has cornering lights, which gives it the advantage over the Sonet.
The front of the Hyundai Venue facelift has been updated with a new grille, DRL configuration, and bumper. The tail lamps receive an update as well, receiving a strip connecting the two. The Venue is virtually the same, with the exception of slight cosmetic updates, but it has a sharper design.
Since its release, the Kia Sonet’s design has not been changed, but considering that it is unquestionably one of the most stylish cars in India, nobody would notice.


FEATURES
The interior of the Hyundai Venue features dual-tone upholstery, a flat-bottom steering wheel, ambient lighting, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a two-step reclining rear seat, an 8-inch HD infotainment system with smartphone connectivity and connected car technology, Alexa and Google voice assistance, a digital instrument cluster, a cooled glove box, wireless charging, cruise control, and more.
A larger 10.2-inch infotainment system with Bose speakers, connected car technology, ventilated seats, a digital instrument cluster, leather-wrapped seats, steering, and gear lever, wireless charging, automatic air conditioning, voice recognition, cruise control, and more are all included in the Sonet. Both the 2022 Hyundai Venue and the Kia Sonet are comparable in terms of features.


ENGINE
Similar engines, power output, gearbox options, and mileage ratings are found in both subcompact SUVs. A 1.2-litre normally aspirated gasoline engine, a 1.0-litre turbocharged gasoline engine, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine are all available for both cars. There are four different types of gearboxes available: a torque converter automatic, a clutch-less manual, and a DCT.
