Updated Hyundai Venue N Line performance now meets RDE norms

Delhi : The performance-oriented version of the subcompact SUV, the Venue N Line, has been quietly updated by Hyundai Motor India for the 2023 model year and now complies with the upcoming RDE emission standards. The automaker recently updated its entire SUV lineup to comply with the new regulations, so the move was expected. However, the update also added a new feature and resulted in a price increase for the Venue N Line line.

All variants of the 2023 Hyundai Venue N Line now come standard with an idle start-stop system. The new function is greatly appreciated and contributes to fuel efficiency, particularly in stop-and-go traffic. Over the years, more expensive cars have successfully used this to reduce CO2 emissions.

In relation to that, the upgrades have led to an increase in the price of the 2023 Hyundai Venue N Line. With monochromatic and dual-tone colour options, the subcompact SUV is available in two variants, the N6 and N8. Prices have increased by 30,000 across all trims, starting at 12.60 lakh and rising to 13.74 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Hyundai Venue N Line's remaining features are all unchanged for 2023. The SUV is equipped with cornering lamps, LED projector headlamps, leather seats, a steering wheel wrapped in leather with the N logo, sporty metal pedals, and interiors that are entirely black with red accents. A 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Bluelink connectivity, Alexa and Google voice assistant, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, among other features, is also included with the model.

Hyundai Venue N Line is the version that is more focused on performance and has the appropriate visual accents. The same 1.0-liter petrol turbocharged engine, tuned for 118 bhp and 172 Nm of peak torque, provides the power. The motor is connected to a 7-speed DCT system, which drives the front wheels. Additionally, the model has three driving modes: Normal, Eco, and Sport, as well as paddle shifters.
