Engines, Transmissions & Variants

Hyundai retains a variety of power-train options in configuring the Venue, catering to both city and highway usage:

• Engine options include a 1.2 litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.0 litre TGDi turbo-petrol (≈ 120 PS / 172 Nm), and a 1.5 litre CRDi diesel (≈ 116 PS / 250 Nm). Cartoq+1

• Transmission choices span manual gearboxes, dual-clutch transmissions (DCT), and automatic transmissions (AT), with the diesel-automatic option finally making its way into the Venue lineup. Cartoq

• Variant lineup is completely refreshed under an “HX” naming strategy (short for Hyundai Experience). Petrol trims run HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX6T, HX8, HX10; diesel trims include HX2, HX5, HX7, and HX10. Cartoq+1

Booking & Market Positioning

With bookings open at ₹ 25,000, Hyundai has signalled a confident launch strategy for the Venue. The Economic Times+1
In India’s hotly contested sub-4-metre compact-SUV segment, the upgraded Venue aims to compete not just on value but increasingly on technology, comfort and design sophistication. With premium touches, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in higher trims, and more refined styling, Hyundai is positioning the Venue as an up-market option within its segment. mint+1

Outlook

For buyers looking to upgrade in the compact-SUV space, the 2026 Venue offers a compelling package: modern styling, richer cabin ambience, broad choice of engines/transmissions, and the backing of Hyundai’s brand and service network. The key will be pricing, which Hyundai is yet to announce, and how the Venue stacks up against rivals in real-world terms (fuel economy, after-sales, resale).
Given the level of upgrades, it appears Hyundai is shifting the Venue slightly upward in terms of ambitions — making it not just a value play but an aspirational one for buyers in India.

Here’s what we know so far about the price range of the upcoming 2026 Hyundai Venue in India:

While the official on-road prices are yet to be revealed — the model is slated to launch on 4 November 2025 and bookings have opened at a token amount of ₹ 25,000. The Economic Times+3Smartprix+3V3Cars+3

Industry estimates suggest that the new Venue will carry a premium over the outgoing model (which was priced roughly between ₹ 7.26 lakh and ₹ 12.46 lakh ex-showroom). CarDekho+2CarLelo+2

So, for the 2026 model one can expect a starting ex-showroom price of around ₹ 8 lakh (or slightly above) for the base petrol version, with higher trims (turbo petrol / diesel / automatic / premium features) possibly heading into the ₹ 10 − 13 lakh (or somewhat more) range. CarLelo+1

As always, actual on-road price will depend on the city (Delhi, Mumbai, etc.), variant, fuel type, transmission, and extras — so it’s wise to check with your local dealership once the prices are officially announced.
