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.
