What Are The Engine Specifications Of The 2025 Hyundai Venue?

Against B2 SUVs with normal petrol engines, the new Venue’s specs are obviously unimpressive next to the Brezza. But respectable compared to the 1.2L engines in the same segment. Naturally, it outperforms when compared with the Magnite and Kiger’s 1.0L engine.

The new Venue retains the 1.0L turbo petrol engine, which is also available with the Sonet. However, unlike the Sonet, the Venue doesn’t get the auto-clutch manual transmission. This engine's torque is very close to the top of the charts and only 6Nm behind the Kylaq’s.

Against larger 1.2L turbo petrol engines, the Venue doesn’t stand a chance. Except for the Nexon, they are all superior to the Venue either in terms of power, torque or both.

Even in diesel territory, there’s competition for the Venue in the form of Sonet, Syros, Nexon and 3XO. Now, Venue has an automatic transmission in the race making it a level playing field. Until recently, it was the only diesel 4m SUV without an automatic transmission with its diesel engine. Here, the Venue, Sonet and Nexon are on par but the 3XO sits a few notches above with 20% better torque output than the Venue’s while still offering a respectable mileage figure. But if fuel efficiency is your prime focus, you should look no further than the Nexon, which is the leader with manual as well as automatic transmission.
