Hyundai India has silently launched the BS6-compliant Venue diesel with prices starting from Rs 8.10 lakh. The Venue diesel now comes with a new BS6-compliant 1.5-litre diesel engine which replaces the older 1.4-litre CRDI unit. It’s offered in a total of five variants. Here’s the detailed price list:

	Venue BS6 Diesel	Venue BS4 Diesel	Difference
E	Rs 8.10 lakh	Rs 7.80 lakh	Rs 30,000
S	Rs 9.01 lakh	Rs 8.50 lakh	Rs 51,000
SX	Rs 10 lakh	Rs 9.83 lakh	Rs 17,000
SX Dual Tone	Rs 10.28 lakh	Rs 9.98 lakh	Rs 30,000
SX (O)	Rs 11.40 lakh	Rs 10.89 lakh	Rs 51,000

As seen in the table above, prices for the Venue diesel have increased by Rs 17,000 to Rs 51,000 depending on the variant you pick.

The Venue’s new 1.5-litre diesel engine is essentially a detuned version of the Seltos and Creta’s diesel motor. The Venue’s motor develops 100PS of power and 240Nm of torque, 15PS and 10Nm less powerful than the Creta’s unit. However, it’s 10PS and 20Nm more powerful than the 1.4-litre CRDI diesel engine which developed 90PS and 220Nm. Just like before, the Venue 1.5-litre diesel engine is offered with a 6-speed manual transmission. There’s no automatic transmission on offer with the diesel engine, which puts it at a slight disadvantage.
