Good news coming up for Hyundai car fans in India !!! An all-new compact SUV, the Venue, has been launched by Hyundai in India with a starting price of INR 6.5 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The car is likely to directly compete against the very popular and hot selling car model from Maruti Suzuki- Vitara Brezza. That's not all, in the compact SUV segment, Hyundai Venue is also going to face fierce competition against the likes of Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300 and Ford EcoSport. The newly launched Venue comes with six different trims- E, S, SX, SX Dual Tone, SX+ and SX(O) along with three different engine choices. It is very much anticipated that the initial pricing of this car will be revised by the company very soon in the upcoming few months.

On the mechanical front, the car comes with two petrol and a single diesel engine option. The 1.4-litre diesel motor underpinning Venue is similar to the one that is found on larger Hyundai Creta model from Hyundai. The diesel powertrain in Hyundai Venue generates power of 90hp and 220 Nm of torque. On the other hand, petrol engine options include a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated unit that generates power of 83hp and a new 1.0-litre turbocharged mill that churns out a power of 120 hp. Both the diesel powertrain and turbo-petrol motors come linked to a 5-speed MT gearbox whereas the 1.2-litre petrol unit comes with 6-speed MT gearbox.
