Hyundai New Venue Features

The new Hyundai Venue offers more creature comforts, smarter tech, and a familiar set of engines.

The Hyundai Venue subcompact SUV has been a hit in its segment. Popular for having diesel, petrol and automatic variants, the car now adds a new IMT gearbox and 'Sport' trim to the mix. Siddharth has driven it and here's his review.

We pit the newest subcompact SUV in the market, Hyundai Venue, against it two key rivals in the market, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Mahindra XUV300.

The Hyundai Venue subcompact SUV has already garnered over 20,000 bookings and the juggernaut looks set to roll on. The reason for the popularity says Hyundai is the segment itself - which already accounts for 47 per cent of all SUV sales, and is set to go past 50 per cent in a year or two.

We recently had the chance to get behind the wheel of a pre-production model at a press event held in Korea at Hyundai Motor's Namyang R&D facility. The car is really compact, and yet - just as we have seen on its debut stage - even in real world conditions its proportions scream SUV.
