Hyundai has officially opened bookings for its compact, sub 4-metre SUV, the Venue, in India. The booking amount for the new Venue is Rs 21,000 and the SUV can be booked either online through the Hyundai India website, or through dealers across the country. The new Hyundai Venue will get both petrol and diesel engines and will take on the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford Ecosport, Tata Nexon and the Mahindra XUV300. The new Hyundai Venue will officially launch in India on May 21, 2019 and will be priced in the Rs 8-12 lakh range (ex-showroom).

The Venue will be the first Hyundai in India to feature the Korean automaker’s new design language with the split headlamp cluster that includes high mounted indicators and a main headlight unit. In terms of an overall profile, the Venue is upright and features a typically SUV like stance with large wheel arches and 16-inch alloy wheels. Around the rear, the Hyundai Venue gets a set of squared off tail-lights. Top-spec variants of the SUV will get a sunroof.
What community is saying on the Venue?
As we had mentioned earlier, the Venue will be offered with both, petrol and diesel powertrains; specifically two petrol and one diesel engine. The petrol engines will be a 1.2-litre, naturally aspirated, four-cylinder motor making 83hp and 115Nm of torque, along with a new 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged motor that puts out 120hp and 172Nm of torque. While the 1.2-litre motor will get a 5-speed manual gearbox, the 1.0-litre engine will get a dual-clutch automatic and a 6-speed manual option. The 1.4-litre diesel, on the other hand, will make 90hp and 220Nm of torque and will come only with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The Venue will also be the first Hyundai in India to offer the ‘Blue Link’ connected car feature, which includes an in-built Vodafone SIM-card for data and connectivity services.
