Ahead of the new Venue’s launch on November 4, Hyundai has revealed the sporty N Line iteration of the compact SUV. Much like the current Venue N Line, the new-gen model is equipped with numerous cosmetic enhancements over the standard model and is powered by the same 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. Bookings for the new Venue N Line can now be made for a token amount of Rs 25,000.

1. New Venue N Line has revised grille and roof spoiler, sportier bumpers, and more
2. Interior gets all-black treatment with new steering wheel and red ambient lighting
3. Only available with 120hp 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine with manual and DCT gearboxes

New Hyundai Venue N Line exterior and interior

It gets revised fascia with red highlights and larger alloy wheels, too.

Compared to the new Venue’s standard version, the biggest changes to the N Line are on the outside. Up front, the new Venue N Line gets a unique Y-slat design for the grille, N Line badging, and a redesigned bumper with a smaller skid plate and red accents. These red stripes continue down the sides, which also feature N Line badging on the fenders, new 17-inch alloy wheels, and body-coloured plastic cladding.

Bigger roof spoiler and new dual-tone colour option.

At the back, there’s a new dual-ridge roof spoiler with an integrated stop lamp, an N Line badge on the tailgate, a revised bumper with red accents and dual exhaust tips. The new Venue N Line can be had in the same colours as the standard Venue, barring the Mystic Sapphire finish. Also, the N Line is available with an exclusive dual-tone option (Abyss Black roof) for the Dragon Red colour.

All-black interior with N Line-spec steering wheel and gear selector.

Inside, the new Venue N Line features an all-black colour scheme. The most prominent upgrade here is a sportier steering wheel that looks very similar to that of the Ioniq 5 N, integrates the drive and traction mode selectors and features red stitching. Other notable changes include N Line-specific gear knobs, red ambient lighting, metal pedals and black leatherette seats with N Line embossing.

Venue N Line feature list is loaded.

As far as creature comforts go, the new Venue N Line carries over everything from the top-spec variants of the standard model. Feature highlights include dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air (OTA) updates, Level 2 ADAS, ventilated front seats, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, an electronic parking brake with auto hold (DCT only), a 4-way powered driver’s seat and a 360-degree camera.

New Hyundai Venue N Line engine and gearbox

120hp turbo-petrol engine with manual and DCT options.

The new Venue N Line will be sold in two variants – N6 and N10 – both of which are powered by a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine developing 120hp and 172Nm. In N6 guise, this engine can be mated to either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, while the N10 variant is available solely with the latter.

Four traction modes.

Front and rear disc brakes with sporty red calipers will be part of the package, too. Hyundai has also revealed the new Venue’s traction modes: Normal, Mud, Sand and Snow.
