Hyundai has discontinued the 1.0L Turbo S MT variant of the Venue.



The S MT was the entry-level turbo-petrol variant of the crossover. The 1.0L turbo-petrol with a manual transmission will now be available in SX and SX (O) trims only.



The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine produces 118 BHP and 172 Nm. Besides the manual gearbox, the engine is also offered with a clutchless Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The Venue is also available with a 1.2-litre, naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 82 BHP and 115 Nm which is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission as well as a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 99 BHP and 240 Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.

That is a pity. It was a good option for driving enthusiasts who prefer an MT with good power and torque. Was possible to have it under 10 lakhs on-road and with this option discontinued, I feel Hyundai is trying to push their iMT hard with the 1.0 turbo engine. Only time will tell us about the long term reliability and usability of the iMT.
