It automatically brakes for both vehicles and pedestrians (according to HMPH specs).

These driver assist tech are a bane on PH roads... alarms, stirring correction and sudden braking are normally triggered by the chaotic road environment.

It depends on how the manufacturer has tuned the system relative to our local road conditions.

On my experience, it's not that intrusive in background despite the ridiculously abhorrent road conditions (and road rage-happy driving attitude) here in our country, and it rarely blurt out false alarms (and most of them are coming from rascal motorcycle drivers that squeeze through those microscopic spaces between lanes.) The ADAS is there to act as a secondary guard, and is not meant to replace sound driving practices. Especially in our country wherein plenty drivers are walking trigger hotheads, rarely using turn signals and gonna mouth you off when you call them out.

In my own (I drove few cars that had ADAS and I own a Mazda) it's not a bane. Though, I use it more on less-populated highways, expressways and less on those sardine-squeeze roads (though I turn on AEB most on a clear day, on those conditions, expect a lot of beeping from the ADAS.)

ADAS can both be useful or a bane depending on the way they're executed. Some brands like Isuzu need to work on their ADAS because there are too much false alarms. Others, like Subaru's EyeSight and Honda's latest-generation Honda SENSING work very well even for our roads.

Probably butting heads along with anti-RG Ford bois.

Kia/Hyundai cars do burst into flames in the US. Hyundai even sent out an advisory not to park inside the garage so as not to burn the house down in case of fires while parked overnight. Are we lucky that local Kia/Hyundais are different?

I am the guy who is "always complaining about Korean cars that are setting on fire." Thank you to Anonymous @ 2:33pm for reminding the others above about the seriousness of Hyundai and Kia vehicle defects. I don't understand why they are ignoring these facts. Maybe they are simply Hyundai/Kia fanboys or sales agents.

There are Hyndai/Kia fanboys? :)

Exterior design of SEA spec Creta is much better..Using the old one isn't a good idea

Actually, they've officially phased out the Venue. There are remaining stocks, but after that, it's gone. Must be cost prohibitive to import them from Korea.

hi Anonymous 7-26-22 1:07pm. pls check the wikipedia about the engine specs of our venue(Gamma engine).

That makes more sense now. Sad, the Venue was an underrated crossover killed by poor marketing (no media events for the Venue AFAIK, likely because of the pandemic)

With the Reina guaranteed to receive the axe and the Accent's future unclear, I wonder what HMPH's entry will be to the sub1M category. There's now a lot of pressure on the Stargazer to sell well if it gets sold here..

The Venue, even though it has a slightly higher powered engine (123HP/151Nm vs. 115HP/144Nm), uses a conventional torque converter 6AT so it has a higher power loss than the IVT-equipped Creta. Power measured at the wheels should be higher on the latter, while being more fuel-efficient given it uses the newer Smartstream series of engines. Power-to-weight ratio remains to be seen since the article doesn't mention the Creta's curb weight.

We finally got the curb weight for the Creta: 1,165 to 1,175 kg. We updated the article to reflect that.

So it's lighter than the Venue at 1232kg, the critic above is spreading fake news. The Venue is heavier, uses a more lossy tranny so P-to-W ratio is lower. It has 4 more airbags though & static bending headlights.

Well...it's not part of their official distributor price list now.

Also, suggesting that you change your username. Otherwise, we'll have to delete/ban you.

Hyundai Venue is axed already as its expensive to import and sell.
2 airbags and ABS is fine so its not a big deal
Mitsubishi and Isuzu are selling lots of commercial vehicles without airbags and ABS.

Ok nayan kay kotchi, gaya ng overpriced nya na mirage sedan na walang hillstart assist n traction/stability control.

You can live without hill start assist and TCS..As if many Pinoy car buyers use those features 🤣

No mention of those features in the spec sheet.

All depends on what Indonesia decides to do. If they build the Venue there, that's what we'll get, if they do the Casper, then that's what we'll get. Though what we've heard is that Hyundai is coming up with a Casper derivative for ASEAN markets.

That Chinese Territory sucks chanis a$$ soup. 'Nuff said.

Huh? Will you please elaborate? Funny... Territory hater.

Red Uly's review of the Chanis Territory for your edification.

Not indicated in the spec sheet (if it has static bending lights). Curb weight is 1,165 to 1,175 kg. Updated the article with that info.

It seems lighter than the HR-V

Yeah h true
