At the front you get uniquely styled headlamps with the turn indicators are placed above while the main headlamp unit placed in the bumper. The Venue also comes with the tiny fog lamps which are placed at the bottom of the bumper. It also comes with square shaped DRLS. The shoulder line and pillars of car looks like smaller version of Creta. It also comes with stylish looking alloy wheels. The styling at rear of car is straight forward in fact it is very simple and pleasant.

Performance 
The Hyundai Venue is offered with a choice of 3 engines. The 1.2-litre, 4-cyl Kappa petrol and 1.4-litre U2 CRDI diesel engines are shared with the i20.

However, the buzz here is all about the new 1.0-litre, 3-cyl, GDI turbocharged petrol engine. Hyundai’s all-new turbo petrol engine is offered with a 6-speed MT or a 7-speed DCT which has been developed in-house by the automaker. It produces 120 PS at 6000 RPM and 172 Nm from 1500-4000 RPM.

Cons

•  Rear seats have limited space
