The Hyundai Venue 1.5 diesel has been launched in India. The prices of the Hyundai Venue diesel BS6 start at INR 8.10 lakh*.
The Hyundai Venue is the brand's first model to employ the 1.5-litre U2 CRDi diesel engine. This engine is a low-cost version of the 2020 Hyundai Creta and 2020 Hyundai Verna's 1.5-litre U2 VGT CRDi diesel engine. Instead of a variable geometry turbocharger, it has a fixed geometry turbocharger. Both these 1.5-litre diesel engines are BS6 compliant.
