Hyundai Venue’s 6 Airbags and ADAS Setting New Standards

Hyundai stands out in the Indian automotive market for its commitment to making safety technology more accessible to a wider audience. In a sector where safety features often come at a premium, Hyundai’s approach emphasizes inclusivity and innovation, paving the way for safer mobility solutions for all.

In a market dominated by sub 4m vehicles, ensuring safety without compromising affordability is a challenge. Hyundai addresses this challenge head-on by becoming the first mainstream carmaker in India to introduce 6 airbags as a standard feature across its portfolio, including entry-level models like the Grand i10 NIOS, Aura, and Exter. This commitment to safety sets a new benchmark in the industry, making advanced safety features more accessible to a broader demographic.

While airbags provide crucial post-crash protection, Hyundai goes a step further by integrating advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) into its vehicles. The Hyundai Venue, for instance, leads the pack as the first sub 4m SUV in India to offer an ADAS suite.

Hyundai’s advanced driver assistance suite, known as SmartSense, encompasses a comprehensive array of safety features within the Hyundai Venue. Let’s delve into the details of each feature:

1. Forward Collision Warning (FCW): This feature alerts the driver when a frontal collision is imminent, serving as a crucial safety precaution.

2. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist – Car (FCA-Car): Building upon FCW, FCA actively intervenes by automatically applying brakes to mitigate or prevent a forward collision with other vehicles.

3. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist – Pedestrian (FCA-Ped): Extending the safety net, FCA-Ped detects pedestrians and aids in avoiding collisions with them.

4. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist – Cycle (FCA-Cyl): This feature adds another layer of safety by detecting and helping to prevent collisions with cyclists.

5. Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): LKA intervenes by providing corrective steering inputs to keep the vehicle within its lane.

6. Lane Departure Warning (LDW): LDW monitors the vehicle’s position within the lane and alerts the driver with audio and visual cues if it detects drifting without signalling.
