Which Variant Of The 2020 Hyundai Venue Petrol Should You Buy?

Let’s first tackle the manual transmission variants starting with the 1.2-litre engine. The E, S and S Plus variants are all reasonably priced and you have to decide for yourself which one best suits your budget and requirements.

The S turbo petrol is a bit expensive over the S 1.2 for the performance enhancements it offers. Also, it has a very basic feature list. If you can’t stretch your budget further, want the turbo torque and can live without some basic features, only then we’d recommend this option. There are a lot of if.s in the previous sentence and that makes it not suitable for most buyers. Consider the S Plus variant instead or go for the SX variant.

The SX turbo is a better value for money, especially with the ACMT (auto-clutch manual transmission). The clutch-free life will cost you just Rs. 20k or so more and it's worth buying. Between the SX full MT and SX ACMT, we’d suggest you go with the ACMT.

If you want top-notch safety features, then you’ll have to get the SX (O). Thankfully, it also carries a justifiable price tag. Again, consider the SX (O) ACMT over the full-manual transmission.

If you want the automatic transmission, then you have S and SX Plus variants to choose from. The S will cost you well over Rs. 10 lakh and the feature list will disappoint you. If you want the convenience of driving, then consider the SX ACMT, which at least does away with the clutch pedal and costs only a bit more than the SX full manual variant. Or, you should stretch your budget for the SX Plus automatic.

Be advised, that even though this variant is the top-spec automatic variant of the Venue, you’ll miss out on features like rear armrests, split rear seatback, side and curtain airbags and rear washer and wiper. If these are important to you, then you should skip the automatic and consider the SX (O) ACMT.

As far as the Sport variants are concerned, it’s a cosmetic upgrade and priced appropriately. So, if you like those stylish features, then it’s worth the extra money. Just be careful with the SX Sport ACMT, which costs more than Rs. 10 lakh and therefore, may significantly jack up your car’s on-road price.

Which Variant Of The 2020 Hyundai Venue Diesel Should You Buy?

Based on our in-depth analysis, we can say that the price difference between each of the four variants of the 2019 Hyundai Venue diesel is justified. You can’t go wrong with any variant but the SX variant still comes out on top as it offers a package that most buyers will appreciate. We really wish it had keyless entry, rear armrest, split rear seats and rear washer and wipers as well. These features would’ve completed the SX variant even if they came at a cost and pushed the ex-showroom price closer to Rs. 10.0 lakh.
