Hyundai Venue

The Hyundai Venue (Korean: 현대 베뉴) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by South Korean manufacturer Hyundai. The Venue debuted at the 2019 New York International Auto Show as Hyundai's smallest global crossover, prior to the introduction of other smaller SUVs such as the Casper and Exter.

Overview

edit

Two versions of the Venue were developed and produced for different markets. The Korean-made Venue is code-named QX or QX1,[7] while the Indian-oriented, internally code-named as QXi, is shorter in length and wheelbase than the Korean version.[8]

The Venue is not marketed in Europe in favor of the European-focused, Hyundai i20-based Bayon which was introduced in 2021.[9][10]

Markets

edit

India (QXi)

edit

The Venue was launched on May 21, 2019, in India and was initially available in 5 trim levels: E, S, SX, SX+, and SX(O).[11] As of December 2019, bookings had crossed the 100,000 mark.

In the Indian market, the Venue occupies the sub-4 metre SUV category, benefiting from the Indian tax advantages for cars shorter than 4 metres. The length is reduced by 45 mm (1.8 in) to achieve the sub-4 metre mark by fitting a less protruding rear bumper. The Venue is powered by a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 83 PS (61 kW; 82 hp) and 115 N⋅m (11.7 kg⋅m; 84.8 lb⋅ft) of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, and a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged GDI petrol engine that offers 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp) and 172 N⋅m (17.5 kg⋅m; 127 lb⋅ft) of torque. The turbo petrol exclusively gets an option of a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual as well.

The 1.4-litre diesel engine, which the Venue was originally launched with, was replaced by a 1.5-litre Bharat Stage 6-compliant diesel engine in March 2020. The larger engine produces 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) and 240 N⋅m (24.5 kg⋅m; 177 lb⋅ft) of torque, which is 10 hp and 20 Nm more than the 1.4-litre engine's output. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.[12]

In July 2020, a 6-speed manual transmission without a clutch option was introduced for the 1.0-litre engine. It is marketed as iMT technology. It functions with an intention sensor on the gear lever, hydraulic actuator, and transmission control unit (TCU). The TCU receives a signal from the lever intention sensor, indicating the driver's intention to change gears, which then sends a signal to engage the hydraulic actuator forming hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic pressure is then sent to the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) through the clutch tube. The CSC uses this pressure to control the clutch and pressure plate, thereby engaging and disengaging the clutch.[13]

Facelift

edit
 
2022 Venue SX (O) (India; facelift)

In 2022, Hyundai launched the refreshed version of Venue in India in June 2022. It received a redesigned front and rear fascia, digital instrument cluster, and added equipment list.[14] The N Line variant was added in August 2022.[15] The facelifted Venue is exported to the Middle East since January 2023. There was a rumor that it would be released in August 2022 in South Korea, but it turned out to be untrue as contracts for a partially modified model that maintained the existing design began to be received.

By November 2024, the model reached total sales of 600,000 units since launch in May 2019.[16]

North America

edit

In the North American market, the Venue is powered by the 1.6-litre Smart stream gasoline straight-four engine producing 121 hp (123 PS; 90 kW) and 113 lb⋅ft (153 N⋅m) of torque. Both a 6-speed manual transmission (available only on base SE trim) and an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) will be available (the latter is standard on the SEL and Denim, optional on the SE), and the Venue is available exclusively with front-wheel drive (FWD). Trim levels are base SE and up-level SEL. The manual transmission model was discontinued for the year 2021 due to low sales.[17][18]

Standard features on all Venue trim levels include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assistance with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and an 8-inch display infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. Available options include Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, LED lamps, alloy wheels, sunroof, two-tone roof, navigation, Hyundai Blue Link technology, a 6-speaker audio system, and roof side rails. There is also a lifestyle version called the Venue Denim, only available in Denim Blue with a White roof combined with a Denim and light gray leatherette interior.[19] The Denim was renamed to the Limited trim after 2021.[20]

Australia

edit

Launched in September 2019, Australian-bound Venues come in three trim levels consisting of Go, Active & Elite, and sit below the dimensionally larger Hyundai Kona. A 'Launch Edition' model based on the Elite was also initially available and limited to 100 units, featuring unique exterior colours and a power sunroof. All are powered by the 1.6-litre Gamma inline-four petrol engine available with a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic transmission depending on the variant.

For the Australian market, the Venue acts as an indirect replacement for the fourth-generation Hyundai Accent, due to the lack of right-hand-drive fifth-generation Hyundai Accent production from South Korea for the time being. The entry price for the Venue has been kept low in order to maintain future entry-level customers.[21]

South Africa

edit

The Venue was launched in South Africa on 14 November 2019, with three trim levels: Motion, Fluid and Glide; it is powered by a 1.0-litre T-GDi turbocharged petrol engine paired to either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.[22]

In July 2020, three Limited Edition variants with only 500 units offered. The Limited Edition variants have a Denim exterior colour with white side mirrors and roof and the interior have a Denim Blue upholstery made of cloth and leather.[23][24]

In November 2021, an entry-level variant was added powered by a 1.2-litre Kappa II petrol engine paired to a 5-speed manual.[25]

In October 2022, the facelifted Venue debuted in South Africa with the same variants as the pre-facelift model.[26]

New Zealand

edit

The Venue was launched in New Zealand on 7 December 2019, with two trim levels: Entry and Elite; it is powered by a 1.6-litre Gamma petrol engine paired only to a 6-speed automatic.[27]

GCC

edit

The Venue was launched in the GCC countries in January 2023. It is powered by the 1.6-litre petrol engine and it is offered in three trim levels; SEL, SE, and Limited.[citation needed]

Vietnam

edit

The Venue was launched in Vietnam on 16 December 2023, with two variants, powered by a 1.0-litre T-GDi turbocharged petrol engine paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.[28]

The second generation model was spotted testing and is expected to launch globally in 2025.[29]

Safety

edit

In 2021, the IIHS awarded the Hyundai Venue a Top Safety Pick Key award, and the NHTSA rated it at four out of five stars for safety, with one star deducted due to rollover and front risk ratings of four stars. Safety features include six airbags, an electronic stability control system, a vehicle stability management system, a forward collision warning alarm, a pedestrian detection warning alarm, blind-spot detection, and rear cross-traffic assistance. The active lane-keeping assistance, automatically adjustable high beams LED headlights, and blind-spot detection are standard in all SEL trims.[30] The Hyundai Venue has had 1 recall for seat belt pre-tensioners, with 72,142 units at risk, due to risk of explosion.[31]
