SAFETY RATING
The Hyundai Venue has received commendable safety ratings in various global crash tests, though the ratings may vary by region and the specific version of the vehicle tested. Here’s an overview of its safety ratings
Global NCAP (India Version)
In the Global NCAP crash tests conducted on the Indian version of the Hyundai Venue (which lacks certain features available in international models), the car received:
3 stars for adult occupant protection (out of 5)
2 stars for child occupant protection (out of 5)
The Venue scored well in terms of structural integrity but lost some points due to the absence of features like Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in the tested variant and limited child protection safety systems.
ASEAN NCAP (Southeast Asian Version)
The ASEAN NCAP awarded the Hyundai Venue with:
4 stars* for overall safety.
This rating reflects a higher safety standard with the inclusion of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and six airbags in some variants. The Venue was praised for its structural safety and overall protection for both adults and children.
Australian ANCAP (Australian Version)
The Australian ANCAP has not specifically tested the Hyundai Venue as of the latest updates, but it’s expected to meet the country’s high safety standards, particularly with versions that come equipped with multiple airbags, ESC, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
OVERALL AESTHETICS
EXTERIOR

The rear is simple but clean, featuring square-shaped taillights and a slightly raised bumper that gives it a proper SUV stance. While compact, the Venue doesn’t shy away from standing out in traffic with its vivid color options and optional two-tone roof.
