Hyundai Venue Dual-Tone Variants To Launch Soon

Hyundai’s first compact SUV for India, the Venue was just launched earlier this year at a healthy price bracket of around Rs 6.5 Lakh (Ex-showroom, India). The all-new Venue has seen a phenomenal response in India, contributing to Hyundai’s rising market share despite the fact that the industry slowdown is currently plaguing the country.

Hyundai India is set to make some models of Venue's top-spec trims available with dual-tone treatment.

However, at the time of launch, the Hyundai Venue was available with a dual-tone body colour option on the SX trim only, limited to the 1.4-litre diesel engine and 1.0-litre petrol models at the prices of Rs 9.93 Lakh and Rs 9.96 Lakh, respectively. Whereas, the 1.2-litre petrol version comes sans the dual-tone paint option as the engine is offered in the lower variants solely.

The 1.0-litre petrol and 1.4-litre diesel of the SX(O) and 1.0-litre petrol-AT of the SX+ trim will get the new dual-tone options.

As per some reports by Autocar, the top-spec trims of the Venue will more likely to get dual-tone exterior colour treatment soon. The new paint options will be available in the SX(O) trim which is currently being on sale in petrol-MT and diesel-MT variants. This paint scheme will also find its way on the 1.0-litre petrol-automatic version of the SX+ trim. It should be noted that this model has never been offered with dual-tone paint shades so far.

The new Venue dual-tone will require a premium over the standard version and rival the likes of Nexon, XUV300 and Brezza.

The Hyundai Venue has been introduced in India with three powertrain options, including an 83 HP 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine, a 90 HP 1.4-litre diesel motor and a 120 HP 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit. While the 1.2-litre petrol mill comes coupled with a 5-speed MT, the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol and 1.4-litre diesel motors get a 6-speed MT unit. Also, a 7-speed automatic DCT is available for the turbo-petrol version as an option.

Regarding the price of the current Venue dual-tone variants, which commands a premium of Rs 15,000 over the standard ones, we expect the new upcoming dual-tone models to sit slightly higher, specifically at Rs 10.75 Lakh for the 1.0-litre petrol-MT SX(O), Rs 11.25 Lakh for the 1.0-litre petrol-AT SX+ and 10.99 Lakh for the 1.4-litre diesel MT SX(O).

The direct competitors for the Venue dual-tone trims could be some equivalent models of the Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300 and the Maruti Vitara Brezza.
