At launch, there will be 5 models to choose from, all sharing the same engine. There are 3 levels of trim (Motion, Fluid, Glide) and the choice of either a manual gearbox or a dual-clutch transmission.
The Hyundai Venue has a wheelbase of 2 500 mm and an overall length of 3 995 mm. With roof rails, it is 1 617 mm high and 1 770 mm wide. There will be 6 colours to choose from, with the flagship model only available in Polar White with a Black Roof.
The engine of choice for the Hyundai Venue is the 1.0-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder, which produces 88 kW and 172 Nm. We've sampled this motor in the Hyundai Kona and think it's decent. There's a 45-litre fuel tank and the Hyundai Venue is said to consume 6.5 L/100 km for the manual-equipped model, while the DCT consumes 6.9 L/100 km.

Using the specification sheet obtained on Hyundai SA's website, we've been able to see some of the features of the new Venue. Apple Carplay/Android Auto is mentioned, but we're not sure if it's across the entire range at this stage.
