Hyundai recently updated its compact SUV, the Venue. And now, the South Korean brand is working on launching its sportier counterpart, the Venue N Line. According to sources, the new Venue N Line will make its way to the market in the coming months. Spy shots of the N Line version of Venue first surfaced online in March. Now, thanks to new information, we can also confirm the variants of the upcoming Venue N Line.
Similar to the i20 N Line, Hyundai will offer the Venue N Line in two variants. These two variants are – N6 and N8. Also identical to the i20 N Line will be the engine. The Venue N Line will use the same 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol motor. The same engine is also available in the 2022 Hyundai Venue. However, unlike the i20 N Line, Hyundai will not offer the iMT gearbox. Therefore, the only gearbox option available with the Venue N Line will be the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
The Venue N Line will get a host of styling tweaks to help it differentiate from the standard Hyundai Venue. The model will likely get a different design for the front and rear numbers and red accents. Additionally, there will also be N Line badging on the grille, front fender and boot lid. Other exterior changes will include a different alloy wheel design and a dual-tip exhaust.
As for the interiors, the Venue N Line will likely get an all-black interior theme. Like the i20 N Line, there will also be red accents throughout the cabin. There is also a possibility that Hyundai might offer the same steering wheel as on the i20 N Line. Since the Venue facelift features a digital instrument cluster, Hyundai could also offer the Venue N Line with different graphics.
The N8 variant of the Venue N Line will sport similar features to the top-end Venue. Thus, it will get the new 8-inch infotainment screen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a powered driver’s seat and more. The entry-level N6 variant will, however, likely miss out on LED headlights, ambient lighting and more. Safety features will also likely be similar to the i20 N Line. Thus, it could get six airbags on the N8 variant and two airbags on the N6 variant.
