Hyundai has officially introduced the second-generation versions of its popular compact SUV, the Venue, and its sporty N Line variant, to the Indian market. This latest iteration promises an elevated experience with a striking new design, advanced technology integration, and enhanced safety features, with pricing beginning at Rs 7.90 lakh.
The exterior styling of the new Hyundai Venue and Venue N Line is significantly more assertive and modern. The front end is dominated by a bold, rectangular grille enhanced with dark chrome elements and sophisticated quad-beam LED headlamps. The distinctive C-shaped DRLs and a full-width light bar at the top contribute to its premium appeal. The side profile is visually updated with new 16-inch alloy wheels and chrome door handles. At the rear, a muscular design is complemented by connected taillamps and a prominent 3D Venue emblem.
Inside, the cabin has undergone a complete transformation, featuring a sophisticated dual-tone dark navy and dove white interior scheme. The dashboard is dominated by twin 12.3-inch curved displays, offering a futuristic and integrated user experience. A new terrazzo texture adds a refined touch to the dashboard trim. Rear-seat occupants will appreciate the increased space, thanks to a 20mm longer wheelbase. Practical comfort features, including rear AC vents, sunshades, and adjustable reclining seats, are provided for long journeys.
Safety is a key focus for the new Venue and Venue N Line, with the inclusion of Level 2 ADAS technology. This advanced system offers enhanced driver assistance capabilities. Standard safety equipment comprises six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), a 360-degree camera system, and an electronic parking brake with an auto-hold function.
The engine lineup for the new Venue includes a 1.2L petrol, a 1.0L turbo petrol, and a 1.5L diesel. Notably, the diesel engine is now available with a 6-speed automatic gearbox option alongside the manual. The performance-oriented Venue N Line is powered exclusively by the 1.0L turbo petrol engine, offering buyers a choice between a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed DCT.
The launch price for the new Hyundai Venue in India starts at Rs 7,89,000 (ex-showroom). This competitive pricing strategy aims to capture a larger market share by offering a compelling package of style, technology, and safety in the compact SUV segment.
