The upcoming Hyundai Venue is seen more often as we are nearing its launch which is scheduled in the next month- May 21, 2019. We already have got an idea of its looks and specifications from its unveiling. What we saw was the top-end SX(O) variant of the Venue which will be a connected car and will be loaded with all the bells and whistles. However, a base trim has been recently spotted and it gives us an idea of the omissions which will be on the base variant.

The base variant of the Hyundai Venue is unlikely to come with the connected car technology.

The base Hyundai Venue misses out on several elements. For instance, it doesn't get projector headlamps, fog lamps and the daytime running lamps are replaced by a chrome eyebrow. It also misses out on wing-mirror mounted turn indicators and only gets them on fenders. The chrome treatment on the door is missing and the dual-tone alloy wheels we saw on the top-end model are replaced with steel rims with covers.

We already know that the Hyundai Venue will be India's first connected car and will be equipped with Hyundai's Bluelink tech which offers 33 connected car features out of which 10 will be India-specific. However, that also is likely to be limited to the top-spec model. The Hyundai Venue will be offered in India with three engine options- 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.4-litre diesel and an all-new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. While the first two engines will be mated to the five-speed and six-speed gearboxes respectively, the 1.0-litre Turbo engine will also get a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission as an option.
