Hyundai Venue to receive N-Line treatment soon; Will sport signature N-Line cosmetic treatment; Expected to come powered by 1.0-litre tGDi petrol engine.
As we had reported earlier Hyundai Motors India Limited (HMIL) is all set to launch the sporty version of its sub-compact SUV, the Venue N-Line in the India market. Expected to be introduced on the 6th of September 2022, the Venue N-Line will sit on top of the existing line-up and will serve as a viable choice for anyone looking for a budget sporty SUV. Last year, the Korean carmaker launched the i20 N-Line and it managed to grab a lot of eyeballs, making it quite popular amongst the enthusiasts in the country.

Based on the facelifted Venue N-Line version will get a plethora of sporty treatment on exteriors as well as the interiors. Expected changes to the outside include a new piano black front grille with red accents, a reworked bumper with prominent air dam, a more sporty alloy wheel design, aggressive rear bumper and a sporty-sounding dual-tip exhaust.In addition to these, we can also see N-Line badging on the front grille, side fenders and at the rear of the four-wheeler.
The sporty treatment continues to the interiors with the cabin now finished in all-black upholstery with red accents, a new sporty steering wheel, metal pedals, and red mood-lighting. We see N-Line embroidery on the seats along with N-Line badge on the steering wheel.
Based on the top-of-the-line SX (O) variant, the new model will come equipped with 8-inch infotainment system, blue link connectivity, sunroof and powered driver seat among others.
While the standard Venue is available with 2 petrol and 1 diesel engine option, we can expect the N-Line model to make use of only the 1.0-litre tGDi petrol engine, that produces a maximum power output of 120 bhp and peak torque of 172 Nm. This unit will be offered with an option of 7-speed DCT or a 6-speed iMT transmission option. In the interest of sporty dynamics, we can expect the carmaker to make subtle upgrades to the suspension and steering column of the Venue N-Line.
Much like its siblings, the i20 N-Line, the SUV will be offered in two trims, N6 and N8. The pricing for the same is expected to cost a premium of Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh over the standard car.
The Venue N-Line will serve as a sportier and driver-oriented alternative to its rivals namely, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet and Mahindra XUV300.
