Hyundai reveals the price for the Venue facelift in India, with introductory prices starting from ₹ 7.53 lakh and going up to ₹ 12.57 lakh for the top-end turbo-petrol DCT variant (all prices ex-showroom, India). Bookings are underway for a token amount of ₹ 21,000, and the brand says the waiting period for some variants has already surged to 16 weeks.
Offered in six trims, E, S, S+, S(O), SX, and SX(O), the new Venue continues to be powered by the same 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol with a 5-speed manual, a 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo petrol with iMT or 7-speed DCT, and a 100hp, 1.5-litre diesel with a 6-speed manual. However, the diesel still does not get an automatic transmission option.
The refreshed Venue gets major styling changes which include a new nose and an all-new front grille with a dark chrome finish. Whilst the main LED headlamp cluster remains the same, the internals of the LED daytime running lamps have been revised and merged with the grille in a single housing. The front bumper now hosts a wider central air intake with black contrasting trim.
