Hyundai has introduced a new variant of its popular compact SUV, the Venue, called the S(O)+, priced at Rs 10 lakh. This new variant makes the sunroof feature more accessible to buyers, offering it at a significantly lower price point compared to higher trims. The S(O)+ variant is strategically positioned between the S(O) and SX variants, making it an attractive option for those seeking a blend of affordability and premium features.

Hyundai Venue S(O)+ Variant Launched in India

Key Highlights of the Hyundai Venue S(O)+ Variant:

New Variant Addition: The S(O)+ variant is positioned between the S(O) variant (priced at Rs 9.89 lakh) and the SX variant (priced at Rs 11.05 lakh), with the primary addition being an electric sunroof to the features list.

Engine and Transmission: The S(O)+ variant comes with a 1.2-liter, four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It’s the same engine as found in the other lower variants, delivering reliable performance for daily driving.

Most Affordable Sunroof Variant: The introduction of the S(O)+ variant makes it the most affordable Hyundai Venue variant to offer a sunroof, a feature previously reserved for the SX variant and above.

Hyundai Venue S(O)+ Specifications:

The primary addition in the S(O)+ variant is the inclusion of an electric sunroof, making it a desirable choice for buyers who want this feature without stepping up to the more expensive SX variant. The S(O)+ retains all the features of the S(O) variant while offering the luxury of a sunroof at a competitive price point.

Despite this new addition, the Hyundai Venue is not the cheapest compact SUV in India to feature a sunroof. That title remains with the Mahindra XUV300 MX2 Pro, priced at Rs 8.99 lakh.

Apart from the sunroof, the S(O)+ variant includes several advanced features that enhance both comfort and safety:

LED Projector Headlamps: Equipped with Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) for enhanced visibility.
Infotainment System: An 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay provides seamless connectivity.
Digital Instrument Cluster: Offers a modern, tech-savvy interface for drivers.
Safety Features: The S(O)+ variant includes six airbags, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Assist Control (HAC), and a rearview camera for added safety.
