BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN – Setia Motors has launched the all-new 2020 Venue, the latest SUV to join Hyundai’s growing product lineup.

The Venue is the smallest and most affordable Hyundai SUV compared to the brand’s larger models including the Kona, Tucson and Santa Fe.

The car model is packed with a host of premium driver safety and convenience technologies and is the perfect fit for those seeking a combination of style and versatility.

The Venue is fitted with Hyundai’s Gamma 1.6 litre four cylinder engine.

The multi-port injection (MPI) engine is paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or automatic. Based on internal estimates, Venue is estimated to deliver up to 13.9 km per litre.

The design exhibits small body forms, delivering a new interpretation of Hyundai’s signature design language.

The vehicle side profile showcases a solid and full volume wheel arch and strong character line, while the front cascading grille includes the new Hyundai signature face that’s found on Kona, including composite LED lights and cube shape headlamps.

This unique character line continues through the tail lamps. Venue is available with 17-inch alloy wheels along with the 15-inch standard wheels.

Despite its small dimensions, the Venue provides adequate space for urban commuters. It comes with the standard 60/40 split flat folding backseat to maximise utility.

The cargo space features a rear covering shelf for added privacy and can be stowed along the rear seatback when not being used.
