The Hyundai Venue Now Gets BS6 Petrol Engines, Is Pricier By Up To Rs 20,000

• All petrol trim levels continue as before.
• Two petrol engines will be available on the Venue: the 1.2-litre NA and the 1.0-litre turbo petrol.
• The Venue retains its base 1.2-litre petrol variants.

Hyundai Motor India has disclosed the prices and trim levels of the petrol BS6 Hyundai Venue. Prices are up across trim levels by Rs 15,000 for the 1.2-litre engine and by Rs 20,000 for the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. We expect the company to make an official announcement soon. Once launched, the BS6 Hyundai Venue will rival the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Kia Sonet, and recently launched Tata Nexon sub-4m SUVs. 

Here’s the list of variants and prices:

*all prices are ex-showroom. DT stands for dual-tone paintwork.

The Venue retains all its petrol trim levels in the transition to BS6. It now costs between Rs 6.70 lakh to Rs 11.51 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. The automatic variant comes with a dual-clutch gearbox and now retails between Rs 9.60 lakh and Rs 11.51 lakh. 

As for the diesel Venue, the carmaker will discontinue the 1.4-litre turbo diesel which the Venue shared with the Elite i20 and Verna. It is likely to be replaced with a larger 1.5-litre diesel from the Kia Seltos. It is expected to make the same 115PS of power and 250Nm of torque as the Seltos. 

Hyundai’s move readies the carmaker for the looming March 31 BS6 deadline. Other compact cars in the company’s lineup, such as the Aura sub-4m sedan and select variants of the Nios hatchback, have already been updated for the upcoming emission regulations. Until the end of March, buying a BS6 Venue will be a voluntary decision for the car buyer.
