Hyundai has launched a new S(O) + variant of the Venue, priced at Rs 10 lakh, featuring a sunroof, LED projector headlamps, an 8-inch touchscreen, and more. It sits between the S(O) and SX variants and is available with a 1.2-litre petrol engine.
Hyundai has recently unveiled a new variant of its popular Venue compact SUV, the S(O) +, priced at Rs 10 lakh. This new addition to the Venue lineup comes with an electric sunroof, a feature that was previously only available in the higher-end SX variant. By adding this feature to the S(O) + variant, Hyundai has made the sunroof more accessible and affordable for a broader range of customers.
The Hyundai Venue S(O) + is strategically positioned between the S(O) variant, priced at Rs 9.89 lakh, and the SX variant, priced at Rs 11.05 lakh. It is exclusively available with a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This new variant aims to provide a balance between affordability and premium features, attracting buyers who seek value for money.
In terms of additional features, the S(O) + variant includes LED projector headlamps with Daytime Running Lamps, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system compatible with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a digital instrument cluster. Safety is also a priority with six airbags, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Assist Control (HAC), and a rearview camera.
Despite these enhancements, the Hyundai Venue S(O) + is not the most affordable compact SUV in India with a sunroof. The Mahindra XUV 3XO MX2 Pro holds that title at a price of Rs 8.99 lakh. However, the Venue’s extensive list of features and Hyundai’s reputation for quality make it a compelling choice in the competitive compact SUV segment.
