India (QXi)

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]

North America

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.^[16][17]

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.^[18] The Denim was renamed to the Limited trim after 2021.^[19]

Australia

Launched in September 2019, Australian-bound Venues come in three grades consisting of Go, Active & Elite, and sit below the dimensionally larger Hyundai Kona. A 'Launch Edition' grade 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.^[20]

South Africa

The Venue was launched in South Africa on 14 November 2019, with three grades: 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.^[21]

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.^[22][23]

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.^[24]

In October 2022, the facelifted Venue debuted in South Africa with the same variants as the pre-facelift model.^[25]
