Hyundai is gearing up to launch the new-generation Venue and its sportier sibling, the Venue N Line, on November 4, 2025. While both SUVs share the same 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, they cater to different buyer preferences — the Venue being a practical family SUV, and the N Line focusing on sporty performance and styling. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how the two compare in terms of design, variants, engine options, features, and safety technology.
Variants and Powertrain Options
- Venue: 7 trims – HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX7, HX8, HX10
- Venue N Line: 2 trims – N6 and N10 (replaces outgoing N8)
The standard Hyundai Venue offers three engine choices:
- 1.2-litre petrol (83hp) with 5-speed manual
- 1.5-litre diesel (116hp) with 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic
- 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (120hp) with 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT
The Venue N Line, in contrast, is powered exclusively by the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with either a manual or a DCT automatic gearbox. Hyundai has also retuned the N Line’s suspension and steering for a sportier, more responsive drive.
Exterior Design and Styling
Both SUVs share Hyundai’s new design language with a full-width LED light bar, quad-LED headlights, L-shaped DRLs, and a rectangular grille. However, the N Line features several unique visual cues:
- N Line-specific grille with horizontal slats and badging
- Red accents on bumpers, side skirts, and roof rails
- Dual exhaust tips and sportier rear bumper
- 17-inch star-pattern alloy wheels (1 inch larger than standard)
- Red brake calipers and a pronounced dual-ridge roof spoiler
The standard Venue sports a more subtle look with body cladding similar to the Exter and smaller 16-inch alloys.
Colour Options
Both models share most paint options, including Dragon Red, Titan Grey, Abyss Black, Atlas White, Hazel Blue, and dual-tone combinations. However, the Mystic Sapphire shade is exclusive to the standard Venue, while Dragon Red with a black roof is exclusive to the N Line.
Interior and Features
Inside, the Venue and Venue N Line differ sharply in personality:
- Venue N Line: All-black cabin, N Line logos, red stitching, metal pedals, and leatherette upholstery. Its Ioniq 5 N-inspired steering wheel integrates drive and traction mode controls, enhancing the sporty appeal.
- Venue: Dual-tone interiors with a redesigned steering wheel featuring four illuminated dots that represent “H” in Morse code.
Depending on the trim, both models can be equipped with:
- Dual 12.3-inch displays (digital cluster + infotainment)
- Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
- 8-speaker Bose audio system
- Ventilated front seats
- Ambient lighting and auto climate control
Safety and ADAS Technology
Both SUVs are equipped with six airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, TPMS, and electronic parking brake with auto hold. They also feature Level 2 ADAS, but the N Line goes a step further by adding a rear radar unit, increasing the total number of ADAS features:
- Venue: 16 ADAS features
- Venue N Line: 21 ADAS features
Verdict
The 2025 Hyundai Venue continues to serve as a practical, feature-rich family SUV with multiple engine choices, while the Venue N Line is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a more engaging driving experience. The N Line’s sport-tuned suspension, aggressive styling, and premium cabin touches make it a strong alternative for those who want more excitement without sacrificing comfort or technology.
Launch Date: November 4, 2025
Expected Price Range: ₹8.5 lakh – ₹15.5 lakh (ex-showroom)
The 2025 Venue twins promise to strengthen Hyundai’s hold in the compact SUV segment, offering something for every type of driver — from the everyday commuter to the driving enthusiast.
