The Hyundai Venue is placed in a highly competitive segment in the Indian market. It takes on rivals such as the Maruti Vitara Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, Ford EcoSport and the Tata Nexon. However, being a Hyundai it comes packed with features, along with some impressive engine lineup. This might help the Venue dethrone the Vitara Brezza as the segment leader.
