- 2023 Hyundai Venue pricing and features
- Bluelink connected-car technology added to Elite; but no facelift for Australia
- Price rises between $160 and $960; wireless phone charger added
The updated 2023 Hyundai Venue has arrived in Australia – but the recent facelift applied to Indian-built vehicles won't come to our Korean-sourced version.
Instead, revisions for model-year 2023 are focused on the Venue's technology suite, with the addition of Hyundai's Bluelink remote connectivity app for the range-topping Elite.
It is the second vehicle in the brand's local range to gain the connected-car technology, joining the facelifted Palisade launched in mid-2022.

The system features automatic collision notification, SOS emergency call, a valet mode, built-in voice control, connected satellite navigation, and the ability to lock/unlock or start the engine from the smartphone application.
In addition, a larger 4.2-inch instrument cluster display, a wireless phone charger and a USB-C port have been added across the Venue range, while the Elite gains two rear USB-C ports and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
It is accompanied by price rises of between $160 and $960, the deletion of the manual Active variant, a rear occupant alert system and leading vehicle departure alert.
The Hyundai Venue competes in the light SUV segment in Australia, with rivals including the Mazda CX-3, Kia Stonic, Toyota Yaris Cross and Volkswagen T-Cross.

Safety
The Hyundai Venue is covered by a four-star ANCAP safety rating, based on testing conducted in 2019.
The crash-testing body said this result was caused by the autonomous emergency braking system in the Venue, which failed to adequately prevent a rear-end collision during testing. It has not conducted further testing since the initial result was announced.
Six airbags (dual frontal, side chest and side curtain) feature across the Venue range.
Each variant includes the following active safety equipment as standard:
| 2023 Hyundai Venue safety features | |
|---|---|
| Leading vehicle departure alert (new) | Lane-keep assist |
| Rear occupant alert (new) | Automatic high beam |
| Autonomous emergency braking (vehicle and pedestrian) | Driver attention alert. |
Blind-spot alert and rear-cross traffic alert are limited to the flagship Elite variant.
