Hyundai Venue: Conclusion
The Hyundai Venue continues to compete with several popular Compact SUVs in the sub 4 meter category, including the recently refreshed Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV300, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger. The Venue N Line, on the other hand, is positioned as a more Driver centric alternative to the standard Venue models.
