Scoop: Hyundai Venue dual-tone to become available in more trims soon

The dual-tone paint options in the Hyundai Venue are currently available in only the second-from-top SX trim. Soon, they will be available in the SX (O) trim and the SX+ trim.

The Hyundai Venue in the SX (O) trim, just like in the SX trim, can be had with the Kappa 1.0L Turbo GDI petrol engine or the U2 1.4L CRDi diesel engine, but not the Kappa 1.2L MPI petrol engine. The petrol engine can be had with only a 6-speed manual transmission in the SX and SX (O) trims, while the diesel engine can be had with only that across the range. In the SX+ trim, the sub-4 metre SUV employs the Kappa 1.0L Turbo GDI petrol engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission as standard.

The Hyundai Venue in the SX+ grade is costlier than the SX (O) grade because of the automatic transmission. Otherwise, the SX+ grade is actually less-equipped, being based on the SX trim. In the SX grade, the dual-tone paint options come at a premium of INR 15,000. The same can be expected in the SX (O) grade and the SX grade. For reference, Denim Blue with Polar White roof, Polar White with Phantom Black roof and Lava Orange with Phantom Black roof are the dual-tone colour schemes available in the SX grade.
