The Hyundai Venue specifications stand out for the sheer engine choice on offer. The 1.2 litre petrol makes 82 bhp for light city use. The 1.0 litre turbo steps up to 118 bhp and 172 Nm, with a manual or a quick DCT. The 1.5 litre diesel makes 114 bhp and a strong 250 Nm for loaded runs.
Gearbox choice matches the wide engine spread. The petrol sticks to a five-speed manual, the turbo adds a seven-speed DCT, and the diesel offers a proper torque-converter automatic. That gives town drivers, keen drivers and highway users each a natural fit. You can sort the Venue trims by engine to see the pairings clearly.
On fuel, the 1.2 litre reads 18.05 kmpl and the turbo 18.74 kmpl with the manual, rising to 20 kmpl on the DCT. The diesel manual is thriftiest at 20.99 kmpl, while its automatic drops to 17.9 kmpl. To weigh these, read how the Venue engines compare on economy before you commit.
Dimensions keep the Venue compact yet usefully roomy. It measures 3995 mm long on a 2520 mm wheelbase, with 190 mm of clearance and a 375 litre boot. Five sit with good head and knee room. That clearance shrugs off broken roads and tall breakers without scraping underneath.
Safety and feature kit is generous higher up the range. Six airbags, ESC, a sunroof and a large touchscreen all appear on the upper trims. Read the sheet together and the Venue reads as one of the most flexible compact SUVs around. When you decide, check the Venue price for your city to finish.
