Hyundai is setting a new standard for safety in the Indian auto market. They’re not just making safety features available, they’re making them accessible to everyone.

Safety for All, Not Just a Premium

In a market dominated by affordable sub-4 meter vehicles, safety often takes a back seat. Hyundai breaks the mold by being the first mainstream automaker to offer 6 airbags as standard across its entire lineup. This includes entry-level models like the Grand i10 NIOS, Aura, and Grand i10 NIOS, making these life-saving features available to budget-conscious buyers.

Going Beyond Airbags: Advanced Driver Assistance

Hyundai understands airbags are just one piece of the safety puzzle. They’re leading the way with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to actively prevent accidents. The Hyundai Venue, for example, is the first sub-4 meter SUV in India to offer a comprehensive ADAS suite called SmartSense.

Hyundai Venue: First-in-Segment ADAS Features

Let’s explore the features that make the Hyundai Venue a leader in safety:

  • Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Alerts you to an imminent frontal collision, giving you time to react.
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA): Builds on FCW by automatically applying brakes to prevent or lessen a collision with other vehicles.
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist – Pedestrian (FCA-Ped): Expands your safety net by detecting and helping to avoid collisions with pedestrians.
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist – Cycle (FCA-Cyl): Provides an extra layer of protection by detecting and helping to prevent collisions with cyclists.
  • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): Helps keep you in your lane by providing corrective steering when needed.
  • Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Monitors your lane position and warns you if you start to drift without using your turn signal.
  • Driver Attention Warning (DAW): Keeps an eye on your driving behavior for signs of fatigue and prompts you to take a break.
  • Lane Following Assist (LFA): Works with LKA to keep you centered in your lane, especially helpful on long journeys.
  • High Beam Assist (HBA): Automatically adjusts your high beams for better nighttime visibility without blinding oncoming traffic.
  • Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA): Warns you when the car ahead starts moving, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions.

Safety Beyond ADAS

Hyundai’s commitment to safety extends beyond ADAS. Cars like the Verna, with its top 5-star Global NCAP rating, showcase their focus on strong body structure and crashworthiness. Additional features like rear disc brakes and dual-channel dashcams further enhance safety and peace of mind for drivers.

By making safety features affordable and accessible, and by continuously innovating with ADAS and crash protection, Hyundai is a leader in making Indian roads safer for everyone.
