Hyundai Venue SUV unveiled In India ahead of next month launch, get three engine choices and 11 segment first features, rivals Vitara Brezza and XUV300
Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has finally revealed the upcoming Venue for the domestic market in a dramatic fashion on a cruise travelling from Mumbai to Goa. The five-seater, as expected, will be offered in three engine options: a 1.0-litre turbo T-GDI petrol, a 1.2-litre petrol and a 1.4-litre diesel.
The 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine produces 120 PS and 171 Nm and it will be mated to either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DCT transmission. The 1.2-litre petrol, on the other hand, develops 83 PS/115 Nm and the 1.4-litre diesel pumps out 90 PS/220 Nm. The former is linked with a five-speed MT and the latter with six-speed MT only.

The Venue marks Hyundai’s entry into sub-four-metre SUV segment more than three years after the debut of the Carlino concept at the 2016 Auto Expo. It is loosely connected with the conceptual version and Hyundai says it comes with a number of segment-first features but some of them may not sound exquisite: Wireless charger, seven-speed DCT, HD display screen, chrome outside door handles, wheel air curtains, arkamys sound, eco-coating, 3-year/ unlimited km warranty, projector fog lamps and 3 years RSA.
