Just days before the BS6 emission norms kick in, Hyundai has brought in an updated 1.5L diesel engine for the Venue and prices for the same starts at Rs 8.09 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The South Korean carmaker replaces the reliable 1.4L CRDi engine with a 1.5L which is borrowed from Kia Seltos.
This 1.5L oil burner is the same as the one found in Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta or even the upcoming Hyundai Creta. However, the power figures have been detuned and this now makes 99 bhp at 4,000 rpm with a peak torque of 240 Nm at 1,500 - 2,750 rpm. The one found in Seltos and Creta churns out 115 bhp on tap.
When compared with the older 1.4-litre, then it produces 10 bhp more and an additional 20 Nm of maximum torque. The previous generation used to make 89 bhp on tap with 220 Nm of punchiness. What's constant is that the 1.5L unit uses a 6-speed manual gearbox like before and no availability of an automatic is there.
