New Hyundai Venue vs Venue N-Line: Differences Explained

Hyundai Venue vs Venue N-Line: Styling, Design, & More

Both the Hyundai Venue wear Hyundai's latest design language, featuring a full-width LED light bar, quad LED headlamp setup, and a redesigned grille. The Venue N Line, however, dials up the aggression with sportier front and rear bumpers, red body accents, red brake calipers, and unique N Line badging. It also trades the regular 16-inch wheels for 17-inch alloys with an 'N' logo at the centre, adding to its dynamic appeal, which looks more appealing and sportier than the standard model.

At the back, the N Line stands out with dual exhaust tips, a larger roof spoiler which comes in dual shaft in the N-Line trim, and an exclusive Dragon Red dual-tone paint option. In comparison, the standard Venue takes a more balanced, family-friendly design approach with subtle chrome detailing and broader colour choices, but in no way is this anything regular that you have seen in this segment, and this surely ups the ante in terms of styling and visuals.

Interior & Features: A Plush Affair

Step inside, and both SUVs showcase Hyundai's upgraded cabin design with twin 12.3-inch screens and a new dashboard layout. The regular Venue features a sophisticated dual-tone theme with white ambient lighting, while the N Line adopts an all-black interior with red stitching, N-branded seats, metal pedals, and a sportier steering wheel inspired by Hyundai's performance division. Also, the steering wheel of the regular Venue features a Morse code four-dot 'H' emblem, whereas the N-Line steering wheel wears N badging with a more sporty look.

The N Line also gains drive and traction mode selectors integrated into the steering wheel, a nod to its sporty character. In terms of creature comforts, both offer ventilated front seats, 360-degree camera a Bose sound system, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a panoramic sunroof, making them equally loaded on the tech front, and that makes sense, where the main distinction is now how they're equipped inside the cabin, but what they carry under the hood and how they go about it. Safety remains a top priority in both versions. Each comes with six airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, a tyre-pressure monitoring system, and an electronic parking brake with auto-hold. Both feature Hyundai's Level 2 ADAS suite, though the N Line goes a step further by adding a rear radar unit, expanding its active safety features from 16 to 21 functions.

Variants, Engines & Gearbox Options

The 2025 Hyundai Venue lineup is offered in seven trims: HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX7, HX8, and HX10, catering to a broad spectrum of buyers. The Venue N Line, on the other hand, simplifies things with just two variants: N6 and the new top-end N10 (replacing the earlier N8).

Under the hood, the standard Venue gets the complete engine lineup, an 83 hp 1.2-litre petrol, a 116 hp 1.5-litre diesel, and a 120 hp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol. Gearbox options include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, or a torque converter for the diesel, and a 7-speed DCT for the turbo-petrol. The N Line sticks exclusively to the 1.0-litre turbo petrol unit, paired with either a manual or 7-speed DCT, ensuring a more engaging and performance-oriented drive experience. The N-Line skips on any diesel mill, just like the outgoing model.
