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.
