They also feature the brand Blue-Link connectivity for a seamless audio experience. Apart from this, no other changes have been made to the new variants than the S and SX(O) variants. The Hyudai Venue is currently placed in the most competitive four-wheeler segment in India.
The Venue rivals the likes of the Kia Sonet, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon, Ford EcoSport, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Honda WR-V and the Toyota Urban Cruiser. Due to fierce competition between compact SUVs in India, brands are thinking of new ways to give an edge to their product over their rivals. As a result, Hyundai has tailored the variants of the Venue to meet the demands of the buyers in the segment, instead of a standard trim offering.
