The Hyundai Venue was unveiled earlier this month and is slated to enter the market on 21 May. Just days after its official unveiling, IAB's digital artist Shoeb Kalania has created a rendering to show how a sporty 'N Line' variant of this new SUV may look like.
Recently, it has come to light that like the latest Sonata, even the Hyundai Venue will receive the N Line treatment. The announcement came from Brian Smith, Chief Operating Officer, North America, who reportedly confirmed that a souped-up version of the Venue was in the works. Speaking about the visual changes that the new model would carry, Brian said
We'll have to see whether the Venue follows the Elantra GT N Line's example by tuning the suspension and chassis. That car will feature a lower front splitter, silver-accented grille, sport instrument cluster and N Line badging, among other styling upgrades.
The Hyundai Venue N Line would feature sportier bumpers, tweaked grille, unique alloy wheels and maybe even an exclusive colour scheme. Hyundai may offer the Venue N Line exclusively with the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine option that outputs a maximum power of 120 PS and a peak torque of 175 Nm. Transmission options should include 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and 6-speed manual.
The regular Hyundai Venue will be available with 1.2-litre Kappa naturally-aspirated petrol, and 1.4-litre CRDI turbocharged diesel motors as well. The former develops 83 PS and 90 Nm, while the latter produces 90 PS and 224 Nm.
