BS6-compliant Hyundai Venue launched, price starts at Rs. 6.70 lakh
In an unexpected move, Hyundai has silently revealed the prices of the BS6-compliant Venue. The new model, priced at Rs. 6.70 lakh, carries a premium of up to Rs. 51,000 over the BS4 counterpart. Notably, the company has replaced the 1.4-liter diesel engine on the outgoing model with a new 1.5-liter unit that we have seen on the Kia Seltos.

The BS6-compliant Venue retains the styling cues of the outgoing model. It sports a compact design with a muscular-looking front bonnet, blacked-out wheel arches as well as side claddings, and an attractive paint job. The car houses projector headlamps with DRLs, indicator-mounted ORVMs, and silver-colored roof rails. Moreover, it runs on 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and has a wheelbase of 2,500mm.
