Hyundai has introduced a new S(O) + variant for the Venue priced at Rs 10 lakh. The new variant essentially adds a sunroof over the S(O) variant it is based on, making it the most affordable variant to be offered with this feature.

1. Venue S(O) + sits between S(O) and SX variants
2. Only available with 1.2-litre petrol engine

Hyundai Venue S(O) + what’s new?

The new variant sits between the S(O) (Rs 9.89 lakh) and SX (Rs 11.05 lakh) variants. Over the former, it just gets an electric sunroof, which was previously offered from the SX variant onwards. Do note that the new S(O) + variant is only available with the 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Despite the new variant, the Hyundai Venue isn’t the most affordable compact SUV in India to offer a sunroof. At Rs 8.99 lakh, the Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro retains the title.
