Hyundai’s late entry to the compact SUV market may be late but it took the market out by storm. With the recently launched Venue, the car is beating the sales of much ppular Mahindra XUV300, Tata Nexon and Ford Eosport. Now the competition has risen high when Hyundai Venue outgrew the Creta in sales.
Hyundai Venue saw a total sales of 8,763 units whereas Creta stood up at 8,334 units. Not only this but Venue was just short of 180 units to become the best selling compact SUV from the popular Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.

Hyundai Venue is relatively selling higher than its competitor and the reason for this is maybe because of the starting price range at Rs 6.5 lakh and the top spec trim at Rs 11.11 lakh. With this price, it easily beats its competitors.
Another main highlight is the feature list which the compact SUV has to offer. The Venue is the first connected car which offers Blue Link Technology along with a large 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It supports connectivity features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Voice Command.
