Dongfeng Venucia has teased a small SUV that will compete with the Hyundai ix25 (Hyundai Creta). The new model will likely to go on sale in China in the fourth quarter of this year.
The Venucia small SUV’s teaser provides a glimpse of its side structure, which is reminiscent of the Nissan Kicks. The instantly visible difference between the two is that the China-only model has a sharper design. The flattish roofline and muscular haunches give a tough look to the SUV, while a rising beltline and the resultant sleek greenhouse infuse the dynamism of a modern crossover.
Images of the Venucia small SUV’s camouflaged prototype have shown that it has quite an aggressive front-end for a model its size. It features a compact hexagonal radiator grille flanked by dual-beam headlamps, a wide lower air intake and an athletic bumper with C-shaped corners bracketing vertical LED DRL.
