Hyundai Venue will be fine tuned for the Indian market

Being a growing market with such tough conditions, the Indian car market requires international car manufacturers to adjust their global models to suit the domestic conditions and also the customers’ interests. The South Korean automaker, is not an exception. For instance, five years ago, when the Hyundai Grand i10 was first introduced to the Indian auto market, its rear windows were made larger for the Indian market to make sure that the passengers who sit in the rear seats have a comfortable journey. Hyundai is also expected to design some particular features for the Indian market, which are different from the global ones.

The turn indicators will have a unique position

The spy images of the Hyundai Venue indicate quite a lot about its front. The SUV comes with polishing lamps which are positioned on the two sides of the grille, which is similar to the new-gen cars such as the Tata Harrier and the Hyundai Kona. However, what is unique about the Venue is that these lamps will work as turn indicators, instead of DRLs like those on the other cars.
