2022 Hyundai Venue SX(O) Variant Analysis: Should You Go For The Top-spec Variant?
The Venue SX(O) packs a few feel-good features and six airbags
The new Hyundai Venue’s top-spec SX(O) trim, albeit similar to the second-from-top SX, gets a few more convenience and safety features. More significantly, this is the top trim for the turbo-petrol and diesel engine options. Let’s see if it’s worth stretching your budget:
| Variant |
1-litre Turbo-petrol |
1.5-litre Diesel |
| SX(O) iMT/SX(O) DCT |
Rs 11.92 lakh/Rs 12.57 lakh |

Rs 12.32 lakh |
Why Consider The Venue SX(O)?
Hyundai is offering the top-spec SX(O) with some feel-good add-ons such as an air purifier, remote engine start/stop, and a 4-way powered driver’s seat. The biggest upgrade comes in the form of side and curtain airbags, which are limited to this trim only. It is also the best option you can have with an automatic transmission.

What Could Have Been Better About The Venue SX(O)?
Although the Venue continues to be a well-loaded offering, now with refreshed styling and some new features, we feel Hyundai could have provided it with some more equipment like the Kia Sonet. It could have benefitted from upgrades such as ventilated front seats, a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 7-speaker Bose sound system, and mainly, a diesel-auto combination.
