Hyundai Venue Facelift Variants And Other Details Revealed

Hyundai is all set to launch the Venue facelift on the 16th of June and official bookings have begun already for a token amount of ₹21000. Hyundai also gave us a first look at the design of the Venue facelift indicating that there will be major changes to the design. Now, we take a look at the variants and everything else that is new with the Venue facelift.

Variants

The Hyundai Venue facelift will be available in 5 variants across three powertrains. The entry-level 1.2-liter NA petrol engine is available in E, S, S(O), and SX variants. Transmission options will consist of a sole 5-speed manual transmission. The 1-liter turbo petrol motor will be offered in the S(O) and SX(O) variants. Transmission options will include an iMT and DCT. The 1.5-liter diesel variant will be available in S+, SX and SX(O) trims. It will be mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. Colour options of the new Venue include Polar White, Typhoon Silver, Phantom Black, Denim Blue, Titan Grey, and Fiery Red. It is also available in one dual-tone shade of Fiery Red with a Black roof for the top-end SX(O) variant.

Design

The Venue facelift features a redesigned front fascia which is more in line with Hyundai’s larger SUVs like the Tucson and Palisade. The older grille has been replaced by a square parametric grille which is finished in chrome. The projector headlamps are placed on the lower part of the bumper just like before with the LED DRLs integrated into them. Interestingly, the facelifted Venue doesn’t get fog lamps, unlike the pre-facelift version. The turn indicators now get a split design. The side doesn’t see any major changes except the new 16-inch alloy wheels. The rear gets a completely new look thanks to the horizontal LED taillights which are connected by a thin LED strip. The reversing light is placed lower down and is stacked vertically with the reflector. Other details include silver skid plates for the front and rear, a shark fin antenna, and an electric sunroof.

Interior

The overall layout of the interiors is similar to the outgoing Venue. The interior gets a new white and black theme with new upholstery for the seats. The familiar 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system has been updated and now it comes with acoustic Sounds of Nature. The Bluelink connected car technology offers 60+ features and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates. The Venue facelift also comes with Home to Car with Alexa and Google Voice Assistant wherein users can check the vehicle status and control multiple remote functions from the comfort of their home.

The instrument cluster is a digital unit that has been borrowed from the Kia Carens. It gets  Eco, Normal, and Sport driving modes which also changes the theme of the instrument cluster. Hyundai has also improved the rear-seat comfort by adding a 2 step recline function. Other features such as cruise control, keyless entry with push-button start/stop, automatic climate control, projector headlamps, an electric sunroof, and wireless phone charging have been retained.

Powertrain

The Venue facelift will continue to offer the same powertrain options as before. The naturally aspirated 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine churns out 83ps and 114nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The 1.5-liter diesel churns out 100ps and 250nm of torque mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The turbocharged 1.0-liter 3-cylinder petrol engine produces 120ps and 172nm of torque. It gets the option of a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, and a 6-speed iMT.
