Hyundai is all set to enter the crowded sub-4 metre SUV segment in India with the all-new Venue, which will be launched on May 21. While the variants list and pricing details for India will only be revealed upon launch, Hyundai will reportedly give the N Line treatment to its new subcompact SUV. It still remains to be seen if the N Line variant will make it to India, but markets abroad like Australia and the US will definitely get the sportier looking top of the line variant.

Don't mistake the N Line variant for the N performance version as the latter is a fully focussed variant with performance and dynamic improvements. The Venue N Line would look sportier than the standard variant, with the help of a new body kit and a few interior and exterior cosmetic tweaks, and that's about it. There won't be any mechanical changes to the SUV though. The more focussed N performance variant of the Venue is also in the works, as hinted by Hyundai’s North America officials.
