New Hyundai Venue N Line Spied Testing Ahead of India Launch
According to spy shots, Hyundai is preparing the Venue N Line with several new design refinements. The SUV was spotted with modified LED tail-lights, wheel arches, alloy wheels and red brake callipers that suggest that the vehicle is performance-oriented. There will likely be a revival of Signature N Line touches, such as two exhaust tips, gloss black accents, and red highlights.
The front fascia could be motivated by the Creta N Line, with possibly a more aggressive grille, revised LED DRLs, and revamped bumpers, making the Venue N Line look more aggressive on the road.
Although interiors of the latest spy shots are shrouded, preceding test mules have given some insight into a dual-curved display to control infotainment and instrumentation. Other luxurious in-car components that Hyundai is likely to pack into the cabin include, but are not limited to, ventilated front seats, red light ambience, leatherette upholstery with N Line branding and sporting metal pedals.
Technologically, the SUV can also get a 360-degree camera, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and enhanced ADAS capabilities, potentially even to Level 2 to provide vehicles with a higher level of driver assistance.
It is expected that the new Venue N Line will utilise the same 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 120 PS and 172 Nm of torque. There should be 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox choices.
To complement the sporty styling, Hyundai will retune the suspension and steering without replacing all four disc brakes to make it handle better and have braking confidence.
Hyundai will launch the new-generation Venue on October 24. The N Line version may be released either concurrently with the base model or a couple of weeks afterwards, as has been the case with Hyundai in the past.
As compact SUVs grow in popularity and need to be sportier, the Venue N Line will appeal to younger customers who want performance and style at an affordable price.
