Hyundai continues to fine-tune its compact SUV portfolio to match evolving buyer expectations. The latest update comes in the form of a new HX5+ variant added to the all-new Hyundai VENUE range. Priced at ₹9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the new variant strengthens the VENUE line-up by offering a smarter mix of comfort, convenience and style-focused upgrades, without moving too far up the price ladder.

With over 50,000 bookings already recorded for the all new VENUE, the introduction of this variant appears to be a direct response to strong customer demand.

What’s New in the Hyundai VENUE HX5+ variant

The HX5+ variant is powered by Hyundai’s familiar 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. What truly sets it apart, however, is the list of features aimed at everyday usability.

Key additions include:

  • Roof rails
  • Quad-beam LED headlamps
  • Rear window sunshade
  • Wireless smartphone charging
  • Driver console armrest with storage
  • Rear wiper and washer
  • Driver power window with auto up/down and safety function

These updates enhance both cabin comfort and exterior appeal, reinforcing the VENUE’s image as a feature-rich compact SUV for urban buyers.

Hyundai responds to strong customer demand

Commenting on the introduction, Hyundai Motor India Limited Managing Director & CEO Tarun Garg highlighted the overwhelming response received by the all-new VENUE. With more than 50,000 bookings already in hand, Hyundai sees the HX5+ variant as a way to further improve the value proposition for customers looking for practical upgrades without stepping into higher trims.

Hyundai also reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Indian customers, focusing on trust, quality and continuous product refinement.

Additional update for HX4 variant

Alongside the HX5+ launch, Hyundai has also updated the HX4 variant by adding driver seat height adjustment, improving driving comfort and ergonomics a small but meaningful upgrade for daily city use.

Why this update matters

The compact SUV segment remains one of the most competitive in India. By introducing the HX5+ variant, Hyundai is clearly aiming to plug gaps in its line-up and cater to buyers who want modern features without stretching their budgets.

It’s a strategy that keeps the Hyundai Venue fresh, relevant, and competitive in a crowded market.

Final thoughts

The introduction of the Hyundai VENUE HX5+ variant is a timely move. It adds meaningful features, improves everyday comfort, and strengthens an already popular line-up. For buyers considering a compact SUV that balances practicality with value, the HX5+ now emerges as a compelling middle-ground option in the VENUE range.
