Hyundai plans to introduce four new SUVs in India before the conclusion of the fiscal year 2022-23. (April 2022 to March 2023). The corporation is hoping to reclaim lost market share with new SUVs. Three of the four SUVs will be facelifted versions of current models.
By mid-2022, the business intends to introduce the new Venue makeover in the country. The new model has already been spotted on Indian roads several times. Hyundai will also release the N-Line model with sportier design features and suspension settings with the facelift. It will be given the new design identity of the brand, which has already been seen on the new Tucson in international markets.
The new Venue will be available with the same engine options as before: a 1.2L NA petrol with 83bhp, a 118bhp 1.0L turbo petrol with 118bhp, and a 99bhp 1.5L diesel with 99bhp.
