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.
The BS6 1.5-litre U2 CRDi diesel engine of
the Hyundai Venue produces 100 PS at 4,000 rpm and 24.5 kg.m (240.26 Nm) of
torque at 1,500-2,750 rpm. It can be had with only a 6-speed manual
transmission. The BS6 1.5-litre U2 VGT CRDi diesel engine of the 2020 Hyundai
Creta develops 115 PS at 4,000 rpm and 250 Nm of torque at
1,500-2,750 rpm. It can be had with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed
automatic transmission. The BS4 1.4-litre U2 CRDi diesel engine of the Hyundai
Venue has been discontinued.
The Hyundai Venue’s BS6 diesel engine and
6-speed manual transmission will likely be offered in the 2020 Hyundai i20 as
well. The all-new premium hatchback’s launch in India is said to take place in
June this year. Hyundai offers the Venue diesel BS6 in E, S, SX and SX (O)
trims.
