Like its predecessor, the new Venue 2026 is offered with a 1L turbo petrol engine. Here’s how the 2026 Venue’s 1L turbo petrol engine compares against the turbo petrol engines that power the Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet and the Skoda Kylaq:

The new Venue shares its 1L turbo petrol engine with the Kia Sonet. However, the Sonet does not come with a conventional manual transmission. Instead, it is only available with a 6-speed auto-clutch manual transmission (ACMT) and 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission (DCT)
The new Venue turbo petrol, on the other hand, is available with a 6-speed manual and 7-speed DCT
The Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3Xo offer larger 1.2L turbo petrol engines. While the Tata Nexon’s power and torque figures are on par with the new Venue, the XUV 3XO’s direct injection turbo petrol engine is the most powerful of the lot in this comparison

The Venue 2026 also carries forward the same 1.2L normal petrol engine as before. Here’s how its specifications compare against B2 SUVs that offer a normal petrol engine:

The Maruti Brezza offers the largest engine in this comparison. So it’s not surprising that it offers the most power and torque among the 3 SUVs in this comparison
The Brezza is also available with mild-hybrid technology, which enables it to deliver a claimed mileage of 19.8kmpl.
The new Venue 2026 and the Kia Sonet are not available with an automatic transmission
