The facelifted Hyundai Venue has arrived in South Africa. Here’s how much you can expect to pay for it, including details on the new N-Line derivative.

The compact Venue is seen as the gateway to the Korean brand’s SUV range and it’s positioned against vehicles like the Suzuki/Toyota Vitara Brezza/Urban Cruiser, Ford EcoSport, Kia Sonet, Chery Tiggo 4 Pro, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger and Haval Jolion.

Visually, the new model features an update front end while the rear adopts the latest styling cues from Hyundai’s other products, like the Tucson and Creta. A sporty-looking model with an N-Line badge makes its debut, with some go-faster looking parts like model-specific wheels and twin exhausts.
