Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has announced a significant milestone for the Hyundai Venue, with the popular compact SUV crossing 1 lakh bookings in India. Marking the occasion, the company has also expanded the Venue lineup with the launch of a new HX8 Diesel Automatic (AT) variant, aimed at customers seeking greater convenience and performance.
The newly introduced HX8 Diesel AT variant is powered by Hyundai’s proven U2 1.5-litre CRDi diesel engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, offering a blend of torque-rich performance, fuel efficiency, and effortless driving—an appealing package for urban commuters and long-distance travellers alike.
Hyundai has also equipped the new variant with an enhanced set of comfort, safety, and convenience features. These include front-row ventilated seats, dual-tone leatherette upholstery with VENUE branding, a 4-way electrically adjustable driver seat, and ambient lighting for the crash pad and centre console.
The compact SUV further benefits from advanced technology such as controller Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and Hyundai Bluelink connected car technology, reinforcing its position as a tech-forward offering in the segment. Additional highlights include an electronic parking brake with auto hold, rear disc brakes, paddle shifters, and drive mode selection (Eco, Normal, and Sport), along with traction control modes for Sand, Mud, and Snow.
Commenting on the milestone, Tarun Garg, Managing Director and CEO of Hyundai Motor India Limited, said the 1 lakh booking mark reflects the strong trust Indian customers place in the brand and the growing demand for smart, connected, and feature-rich mobility solutions. He added that the new HX8 Diesel Automatic variant further strengthens the Venue range by combining diesel efficiency, strong performance, and enhanced convenience.
Backed by Hyundai’s extensive sales and service network across India, the Venue continues to remain a compelling option for buyers looking for a feature-rich, comfortable, and technologically advanced compact SUV. With the addition of the HX8 Diesel AT variant, Hyundai aims to further expand the appeal of the Venue among customers seeking a refined and convenient driving experience.
