Hyundai Venue

The Hyundai Venue is a five-door subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai and derived from the platform of its Accent subcompact car.^[2] The Venue is Hyundai's smallest crossover. The Venue debuted at the 2019 New York International Auto Show.^[4] The Venue fits below the Hyundai Kona in Hyundai's international lineup and below the Hyundai Creta in India and other markets where the Creta is sold.

The Venue was launched on May 21, 2019 in India and it is available in 5 trim levels; E, S, SX, SX+ and SX(O).^[5] As of December 2019, bookings had crossed the one lakh mark.

In the Indian market, the Venue occupies the sub 4-meter SUV category, benefitting from the Indian tax benefits for cars shorter than 4 meters. The Venue is powered by a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 83 hp and 115 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, and a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged GDI petrol engine that offers 120 hp and 172 Nm of torque. The turbo petrol exclusively gets an option of 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual as well.^[6]

The 1.4-litre diesel engine which the Venue was originally launched with, was replaced by a 1.5-litre BS6-compliant diesel engine in March 2020. The bigger engine produces 100 hp and 240 Nm of torque, which is 10 hp and 20 Nm more than the 1.4L engine's output.^[7] The 1.5L diesel engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
