# Hyundai Venue

The Hyundai Venue (Korean: 현대 베뉴) is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by South Korean manufacturer Hyundai. The Venue debuted at the 2019 New York International Auto Show as Hyundai's smallest global crossover, prior to the introduction of other smaller SUVs such as the Casper and Exter.
As of 2023, the Venue is positioned below the Kona or Creta, and above the Exter or Casper in Hyundai's international crossover lineup. It shares its platform with the fifth-generation Accent.

## Overview

Two versions of the Venue were developed and produced for different markets. The Korean-made Venue is code-named QX or QX1, while the Indian-oriented, internally code-named as QXi, is shorter in length and wheelbase than the Korean version.
The Venue is not marketed in Europe in favor of the European-focused, Hyundai i20-based Bayon which was introduced in 2021.

## Markets
### 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). 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.
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.

#### Facelift

In June 2022, Hyundai launched the refreshed version of the Venue in India. It featured a redesigned front and rear fascia, a digital instrument cluster, and an expanded list of equipment. Additionally, the N Line variant was introduced in August 2022.The facelifted Venue is exported to the Middle East since January 2023. There was a rumor that it would be released in August 2022 in South Korea, but it turned out to be untrue as contracts for a partially modified model that maintained the existing design began to be received.
By November 2024, the model reached total sales of 600,000 units since launch in May 2019.

#### New Generation

Launched in 2019, the Hyundai Venue will debut its second generation in 2025. The updated model, seen in full camouflage, offers only a few glimpses of its design. The current engine lineup—1.0 Turbo Petrol, 1.2 NA Petrol, and 1.5 Diesel—is expected to carry over to the new version.
The launch in India is expected by late 2025.

### 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.
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. The Denim was renamed to the Limited trim after 2021.

### Australia

Launched in September 2019, Australian-bound Venues come in three trim levels consisting of Go, Active & Elite, and sit below the dimensionally larger Hyundai Kona. A 'Launch Edition' model 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.

### South Africa

The Venue was launched in South Africa on 14 November 2019, with three trim levels: 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.
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.
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.
In October 2022, the facelifted Venue debuted in South Africa with the same variants as the pre-facelift model.

### New Zealand

The Venue was launched in New Zealand on 7 December 2019, with two trim levels: Entry and Elite; it is powered by a 1.6-litre Gamma petrol engine paired only to a 6-speed automatic.

### GCC

The Venue was launched in Indonesia on 13 February 2025 at the 32nd Indonesia International Motor Show. Imported from India, it is only offered in one trim level with the same engine and transmission as the Vietnamese version.
