According to the latest price changes, the Hyundai Venue petrol will be pricier by Rs 12,000. Hyundai Venue diesel, on the other hand, gets a price hike of Rs 7,000 across the trims. It means that the Hyundai Venue petrol is now available from Rs 6.75 lakh to Rs 11.65 lakh (ex-showroom). Hyundai Venue diesel is offered from Rs 8.17 lakh to Rs 11.59 lakh (ex-showroom).

At the moment, Hyundai Venue’s entry-level model is more expensive than its arch-rival – Kia Sonet – by Rs 4,000. However, the top-spec Venue variants are still more affordable than high-spec Sonet variants. With more features and techs, the top-spec Kia Sonet costs around 1.25 lakh more than the Hyundai Venue’s top-of-the-line model. The Sonet was launched just earlier this month with the price ranging from Rs 6.71 lakh to Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

Along with the price changes, Hyundai also crossed out the dual-tone options for the SX and SX (O) trims.  Compared to the regular version, the Sport variants are added with some special cosmetic treatments like red exterior accents and dual-tone interior colour.

Hyundai Venue is available with three choices of engines, two petrol engine and one diesel unit. The most powerful engine is the 1.0-litre turbo GDI petrol engine which generates a top power of 120 PS and a top torque of 172 Nm. There are three transmission options for the turbo engine, which includes 6-speed manual, 6-speed iMT and 7-speed DCT. Mated to a 5-speed manual, the 1.2-litre Kappa Dual VTVT petrol unit is capable of making 83PS and 115Nm.

The only diesel engine is a 1.5-litre oil burner with 100 PS maximum power and 240 Nm top torque. This engine is available with 6-speed manual gearbox. Kia Sonet is offered with similar powertrain options except for the turbo-manual and diesel-automatic gearbox.
