The company will soon present the sub-4-meter SUV at the New York Motor Show and ahead of that the South Korean maker has revealed that the company is all set to win over the customers with their new smart features. Established players such as Maruti Brezza, and Tata Nexon as well as newly launched feature loaded rivals such as Mahindra XUV300 will give the upcoming Venue a very tough fight in the segment.

One can also expect the bundled service to remain free at least until the car is under warranty.

The upcoming Hyundai venue will also come with various kinds of remote controls that range from turning on the AC to finding car in parking lot to remote locking and unlocking of their vehicle. The new SUV will also offer remote key-sharing. Just like the Ford cars, the new Venue will also come equipped with a system that will send out emergency alerts in case of a major crash.

The upcoming Venue will also have an emergency feature, roadside assistance and panic notification.
