not really, it has chunkier lines, just like Ignis, 3+ year old best seller in this same class of vehicles. Venue has much softer lines.

do you really think it takes 76hp to go 25 mph? Yaris 1.0l powered with KR series engine with 71hp can go 95mph.

So now it's "soft lines" instead of "profile" as you originally mentioned. Goalpost moving much?

By the way, car development takes much longer than 3 years.

I partly disagree, Jill. There is probably a potential market for it here, but there are already so many small crossovers on the market (with more coming) that it will have a lot of competition. Still, as I mentioned above, I'd like to see Hyundai at least attempt to market it here. It would be an almost perfect replacement for the old Mini my brother's GF is driving (those cars are unreliable, and she's had several problems, including a new engine). Her new-car plans, right now, seem to be on hold with the pandemic and the tight market.
