Hyundai Venue
Hyundai Venue sub compact SUV is better known as India’s connected car. The vehicle challenges the likes of Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Mahindra XUV300 and Ford EcoSport in the segment.

The new Hyundai Venue was launched in India at a starting price of Rs 6.70 lakh and the top end variant reaches out at Rs 11.40 lakh (ex-showroom).

Hyundai Venue Exterior
The Hyundai Venue has a Creta inspired design language and from some angles, the vehicle indeed looks like a baby Creta. The overall boxy design works in favour of the SUV and the cascading grille up front along with high mounted LED DRLs give the Venue urban looks. The DRLs double up as turning winkers and look decent on the fascia.

Hyundai Venue Interior
Hyundai Venue gets an all black interior that offers a premium feel right from the moment you step inside the car. The flat dashboard along with the rising console is in favour of the ergonomics. Moreover, the 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system is another highlight of the cabin that is convenient to use too. The size of the air-con vents is quite apt and these get brushed silver accents around the edges.
