Hyundai Venue
Well, the paramount reason behind its success is the current times. This is an era of SUVs; people completely sideline sedans, ignore hatchbacks, and are heading towards any type of SUV they can get. The Hyundai Venue, which happens to be a sub-4 meter SUV, checks all the required points for Indians and is also a Hyundai car, which is why a lot of people want to buy it.
Another integral point behind its success is the multiple choice of engines: a 1.2L petrol, a 1.0L turbo, and a 1.5L diesel. Plus, there are options for a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, and a 7-DCT. Also, the Venue is packed with features like a sunroof, digital instrument cluster, Level 1 ADAS, TPMS, 6 airbags, Bluelink, power driver seat, ambient lights, an 8-inch infotainment screen with OTA, and a dash cam with dual cameras.
