The introduction of the 2023 Venue and Venue N Line with ADAS technology and a new transmission has been announced by Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) today. The country’s second-largest automaker introduced the Hyundai Smartsense (ADAS) technology on the Venue and Venue N Line, making them the most reasonably priced SUVs with ADAS in India, as part of its mission to democratize modern technologies.
