The Venue was launched in India on 21 May 2019, in India and was initially available in five trim levels: E, S, SX, SX+, and SX(O).[12] As of December 2019, bookings had crossed the 100,000 mark.
In the Indian market, the Venue occupies the sub-4 metre SUV category, benefiting from the Indian tax advantages for cars shorter than 4 metres. The length is reduced by 45 mm (1.8 in) to achieve the sub-4 metre mark by fitting a less protruding rear bumper. The Venue is powered by a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 83 PS (61 kW; 82 hp) and 115 N⋅m (11.7 kg⋅m; 84.8 lb⋅ft) of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, and a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged GDI petrol engine that offers 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) and 172 N⋅m (17.5 kg⋅m; 127 lb⋅ft) of torque. The turbo petrol exclusively gets an option of a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual as well.
The 1.4-litre diesel engine, which the Venue was originally launched with, was replaced by a 1.5-litreBharat Stage 6-compliant diesel engine in March 2020. The larger engine produces 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) and 240 N⋅m (24.5 kg⋅m; 177 lb⋅ft) of torque, which is 10 hp and 20 Nm more than the 1.4-litre engine's output. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.[13]
In July 2020, a 6-speedmanual transmission without a clutch option was introduced for the 1.0-litre engine. It is marketed asiMT technology. It functions with an intention sensor on thegear lever,hydraulic actuator, andtransmission control unit (TCU). The TCU receives a signal from the lever intention sensor, indicating the driver's intention to changegears, which then sends a signal to engage the hydraulic actuator forminghydraulic pressure. The hydraulic pressure is then sent to the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) through the clutch tube. The CSC uses this pressure to control theclutch and pressure plate, thereby engaging and disengaging the clutch.[14]
In June 2022, Hyundai launched the refreshed version of the Venue in India. It featured a redesigned front and rear fascia, a digital instrument cluster, and an expanded list of equipment.[15] Additionally, the N Line variant was introduced in August 2022.[16] The facelifted Venue is exported to the Middle East since January 2023.
By November 2024, the model reached total sales of 600,000 units in India since its introduction in May 2019.[17]
