Hyundai Motor India, the country’s second largest car manufacturer has unveiled India's First Connected SUV - Hyundai Venue alongside the Global Preview at the 2019 New York International Auto Show



Speaking at the unveiling of the Hyundai Venue, S S Kim, MD & CEO, Hyundai Motor India Ltd. said, 'Today we are glad to unveil the Hyundai Venue - India's First Connected SUV at the most unique Venue. Hyundai Motor India is committed to lead the Indian Auto Industry by introducing a world-class product. Hyundai VENUE will create quality time for customers making their life a Happy Life."

He also added, "Being India's First Connected SUV not only makes Hyundai Venue a New Benchmark in the segment but also demonstrates Hyundai's unwavering emphasis on offering the highest quality and feature-rich products to the customers. We believe the Hyundai Venue will enable ease of life and empower the customers to have a safer, connected and more versatile car ownership experience. The advanced and Intelligent Hyundai Blue Link will offer the customers control of their vehicle even when they are away from It." 

Hyundai says that the Venue is crafted step-by-step to meet the needs of Indian youth who seek future technology, Space, Comfort, Safety and Ergonomics with new age style. The development direction of Hyundai Venue is defined by Solid Presence, Refreshing Driving Experience and Leading-Edge Seamless Connectivity.


The new Hyundai Venue boasts of a side profile which showcases a full volume wheel arch and strong character line, while the front Bold Mesh Pattern Grille includes the new Hyundai signature face. This unique character line continues through the tail lamps. 

The Hyundai Venue SUV will come with Hyundai’s first model in India to offer in-house developed 7-Speed and an automatic gearbox with DCT technology. The Venue also gets 6-speed and 5-speed manual transmissions. Another first from Hyundai is the 1.0-Litre Kappa Turbocharged GDI Petrol Engine. Apart from this, the Brezza rival will also get the 1.2-litre Kappa Petrol and 1.4 L Diesel Engine

The Kappa 1.0-litre T-GDI engine is developed by Hyundai Motor Group's R&D division. Hyundai claims that the 1.0-litre engine has a compact layout by integrating the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head thus improving the fuel efficiency at higher RPM ranges. 

The 7-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is also developed by Hyundai's R&D Transmission team and the company says that this allows the least amount of torque transfer interruption while shifting gears. The transmission has been subjected to rigorous durability tests for ensuring High Gear Strength and better Clutch Friction Materials to offer the best performance at high speeds, off-road, hill-sides and harsh climatic conditions. 

The 1.0-litre Kappa T-GDI engine will produce a peak of power of 120 PS and a maximum torque of 172 Nm. This particular engine gets two transmission options – 7-Speed DCT and a 6-Speed manual gearbox. The older Kappa petrol and diesel engines will get a 5-speed and 6-speed manual gearbox, respectively.

The Hyundai Venue will also get a long list of features, as is expected from Hyundai cars in India. The Venue SUV will get an electric sunroof, cruise control, voice recognition, rear AC vents, cornering lamps, glove box cooling and more.
