The Hyundai Venue is one of the best-selling B2-segment SUVs in the country. It is closely followed by the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon and the Kia Sonet. Kia recently launched the MY2022 Sonet with new features and better safety.
In this article, we tell you 5 features that are missing in the Hyundai Venue but available with Kia Sonet.
1. Auto-dimming IRVM
The Kia Sonet comes with an auto-dimming inside rear view mirror whereas the Venue gets a manually-adjustable day/night IRVM. It is worth noting that both the sub-compact SUVs get SOS and emergency buttons on the IRVM module.
2. Premium Sound System
The Kia Sonet comes with a Bose surround sound system with 4 speakers, 2 tweeters and a subwoofer. The Hyundai Venue, on the other hand, gets an unbranded audio system with 4 speakers and 2 tweeters. The Venue pre-facelift was offered with an Arkamys sound system but Hyundai decided to remove it due to the high licensing cost for the premium sound system.
3. Sunglass Holder
Kia offer a sunglass holder in the Sonet, which is a feature that’s missing in the Hyundai Venue. In the Kia Sonet, you get a sunglass holder placed above the front map lights inside the cabin.
4. Ventilated Front Seats
The Kia Sonet is offered with ventilated seats at the front while the Venue lacks this feature. Apart from the Sonet, only the Nexon offers front ventilated seats function in the sub-compact SUV segment.
5. Traction Modes
The Kia Sonet gets 3 predefined traction modes – mud, sand and snow. Apart from that, the Sonet also gets multiple drive modes. The Hyundai Venue, on the other hand, only gets drive modes for the engine and transmission and a fairly standard traction control system with no modes.
