The new Venue N-Line also offers an N-Spec steering wheel. The steering wheel is very different from the standard model and gets different contours and paddle shifters. The feature list includes an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluelink connected car technology and BOSE surround sound system. The Venue N-line also gets Home to car connectivity through Alexa and Google Home. It is considered the most connected SUV in its segment.

The new feature list also comes with a new dashboard camera that has a dual-lens and records the cabin as well as the outside. There is an electric sunroof, puddle lamps with red ambient lighting, automatic climate control and a four-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat.

Sounds exotic

The all-new Hyundai Venue N-Line is powered by a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that generates a maximum power of 118 PS and peak torque of 172 Nm. The Venue N-Line only offers a seven-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).

Hyundai has tweaked the suspension set-up to make it stiffer. The stiffer suspension will give the Hyundai Venue N-Line better driving and handling capabilities. The N-Line variant of the Hyundai Venue also gets disc brakes on all four wheels. The exhaust is tweaked, which gives it a sportier exhaust note.
