Big on small

THE Hyundai venue has been a runaway success since its introduction in 2019.

With almost 7,00,000 units on the road since its introduction, this vehicle has been one of Hyundai’s biggest success stories. The car received a facelift in 2022; the new version has arrived in 2025. When the Venue was first launched, it introduced technologies like a dry dual-clutch transmission to the Indian market, in contrast to the wet dual-clutch systems offered by the VW Group. Over time, the company has nearly perfected this system, bringing it almost on par with conventional torque converters. This time round too, the mini SUV brings some new technologies to the segment.
