Hyundai has launched another trim of the Venue compact SUV, which makes the sunroof a little more accessible. Priced at Rs 8.23 lakh, the new Venue E+ is now the most affordable trim in the line-up to get a sunroof. This is the second trim in the Venue line-up that sits above the base E trim that's priced at Rs 7.64 lakh (ex-showroom).
- Sunroof available on a variant more affordable by Rs 1.12 lakh
- Is solely offered with the 1.2-litre petrol-MT powertrain
Hyundai Venue E+: what’s new
The new E+ trim comes in a month after Hyundai launched the Venue S+ trim, which too, made it more accessible than the S(O) trim it was previously offered on. This brings down the price of the sunroof-equipped variant by Rs 1.12 lakh.
Apart from the sunroof, there are no additions over the base E trim. So you miss out on features like a touchscreen infotainment system, LED headlamps and auto AC. While some of these features can be added as aftermarket accessories, a sunroof isn’t an easy aftermarket fit. Hence, some might find value in this new trim given how sought-after the feature is.
You do, however, get a semi-digital instrument cluster, front power windows, manual AC, adjustable headrests for front and rear seats, and 60:40 split rear seats. Safety features include six airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all seats, ESC, hill-start assist and ABS with EBD.
The Venue E+ is only available with the 83hp, 114Nm 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Hyundai, recently, also launched a more affordable variant of the Exter equipped with a sunroof.
