It is no secret that Hyundai India has been working on an N Line version of its compact SUV, the Venue. The Venue N Line will be Hyundai India’s second N Line product in India after the i20 N Line. Now, the South Korean carmaker has confirmed that it will launch the sporty compact SUV on the 6th of September, 2022.
However, this launch will be different. Hyundai will launch the new Venue N Line exclusively in Metaverse. Interested customers can download the Roblox app from Play Store using their Android phones. Alternatively, they can also use their laptops to gain access to the virtual launch experience of the Venue N Line. Hyundai India claims the launch will also comprise more than 70 sites that users will be able to spot and engage.
The brand released a short teaser video which shows what the virtual launch will offer. The video also shows the new Venue N Line, giving us a look at some of the differences it will have compared to the regular Venue.
To provide users with an enthralling journey on the Metaverse, the launch will also have various innovative media experiences. These include – India Zone, Test Drive Track, VENUE N Line Zone, Showroom, Service Centre, Mini Game, Photo booth, Treasure Hunt and N Line Merchandise. All of these will contain many immersive activities to provide the users with a distinctive experience.
Users will also have the option to test drive Hyundai VENUE N Line on an oval road track. They will also be able to customize the car to their liking and even purchase and sell the car. Additionally, the Metaverse for Hyundai VENUE N Line launch will comprise many more sites that users will be able to spot and engage.
The video released by Hyundai India about its launch reveals a few changes to the compact SUV. These include a new grille design with an N Line badge, different alloy wheels, and red accents on the front and rear bumper. Like the i20 N Line, it will also get visible exhaust pipes at the rear. It will also get the signature blue N Line colour option, first seen on the i20 N Line. As for the interiors, it will get black interiors with red stitching on the seats and red accents for various controls.
As for the engine, it will get the 1-litre turbo-petrol engine. This motor makes 120 PS & 172 Nm. However, the N Line will likely only get a DCT gearbox. The standard Venue with this engine also gets an iMT gearbox. Even the i20 N Line is available with an iMT. Hyundai India could offer the Venue N Line in two variants – N6 and N8. The N8 variant will offer similar equipment levels as the Venue’s SX (O) variant.
