New Delhi:
Hyundai Venue, which was launched in India in May 2019 at a price of Rs 6.50 lakh (ex-showroom, India), will soon get the BS6 compliant engine. Yes, you read it right. However, Hyundai India will only launch the BS6 compliant version of Venue diesel only. According to a report of NDTV’s carandbike, Hyundai Venue diesel BS6 will receive the new 1.5-litre diesel engine at Rs 8.09 lakh for the base E variant, going up to Rs 11.49 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom) for the range-topping SX (O) Dual Tone. Meanwhile, the dealers have started accepting bookings for Hyundai Venue 1.5 Diesel BS6 at a token amount of Rs 21,000.
Hyundai Venue diesel BS6 will get the new 1.5-litre diesel engine. It is to be noted that the 1.5-litre diesel engine will replace the BS4 compliant 1.4-litre CRDi motor that is currently available on the subcompact SUV.
The engine of Hyundai Venue diesel BS6 misses out on VGT tech on the Hyundai Venue and is a detuned version compared to the one found on the Seltos, reported NDTV’s carandbike.

The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions.
