No Clutch Yet Gears! Hyundai Venue iMT Out At Rs 10 lakh

The Venue gets a new SX+ and Sport trim in its lineup

India’s largest passenger car exporter, Hyundai has tweaked the variant list of the Venue by adding multiple variants. The intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) tech debuts with the Venue which combines the convenience of a clutch-less drive experience with the fun of a manual gear shifting. Additionally, the subcompact SUV gets SX+ and Sport trims as well.

Have a look at the prices of the Hyundai Venue variants launched today:

Interestingly, the iMT variant is around Rs 24,000 costlier than the corresponding manual variants. This means a person looking for a manual Venue might consider checking the iMT as well due to its low price difference.

How is Hyundai Venue Sport different from other variants?

The subcompact SUV gets a two-tone exterior paint job with grey shade and contrasting phantom black roof along with another option of white with phantom black roof. To give it a sportier appearance, the front grille is done in a glossy black shade with a red insert. It gets a dark grey garnishing on the front bumper. Red inserts on the wheel arches and body side moulding also enhance the sportier quotient of the new trim.

Step in the cabin of the Venue Sport and you will be greeted by the D-cut steering with paddle shifters (only on automatic trim). Moreover, it gets all grey upholstery and red inserts on various places such as gear knobs, steering, etc.
