Hyundai Venue Lineup Expanded with New H8 Diesel AT Variant

Hyundai Venue has got a new variant in its diesel lineup to commemorate surpassing the 1 lakh booking milestone. Titled the H8, this new diesel automatic variant is priced at Rs. 13.70 lakh (ex-showroom). It is strategically positioned to bridge the gap between the existing HX5 and top-tier HX10 diesel AT trims. This offers a mid-range choice for buyers seeking the convenience of a torque converter paired with a diesel engine.

Performance and Feature Specifications

The new H8 variant utilizes the established 1.5-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine. This unit is mated to a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission, producing 114bhp and 250Nm of peak torque. Hyundai claims a fuel efficiency of 17.9kmpl for this configuration. Despite its mid-trim positioning, the H8 is equipped with several premium features previously reserved for higher grades.

Key Features of the Venue H8 Diesel AT

The introduction of the H8 variant follows a series of updates to the Venue range, including the recent HX5+ trim. The H8 commands a premium of approximately Rs. 1.97 lakh over the HX5 while Rs. 1.81 lakh less than HX10.

The Venue’s new version is expected to sideline stiff competition from the updated Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3XO. This expansion ensures the model remains a best choice for commuters looking for mixed efficiency and premium features.
