Hyundai has started preparing to launch the new generation of the Venue in the Indian market. An undisguised test mule of the sub-4 meter compact SUV was spotted recently on foreign roads, and now it has been spotted in India as well. The launch of the new-gen Venue is confirmed for November 4. Once launched, it will continue to go against the Kia Sonet, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3XO.
New-gen Hyundai Venue: Design
The design will be one of the major highlights of the new-gen Venue. It looks completely different from the outgoing one. The design is now a lot more muscular and rugged. The front comes with vertically stacked headlamps with a chunky skid plate. On the sides, there is a new alloy wheel design that looks like aero wheels, which we have seen on a few electric vehicles. Hyundai has also beefed up the wheel arches. The rear is also new with slim LED tail lamps and a lightbar, along with a spoiler and a chunky skid plate.
