The Hyundai Venue starts at ₹8.74 lakh on-road in Puducherry and climbs to ₹9.65 lakh in Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, a ₹91,000 swing for the same HX2 Petrol MT before you have picked a single option. The bigger catch sits further up the range: Level 2 ADAS only shows up on the range-topping HX10, which costs ₹17.04 lakh on-road in Mumbai, nearly double the starting price.
Hyundai prices the Venue’s HX2 Petrol MT at ₹7.99 lakh ex-showroom nationwide. What changes by city is the road tax, and that gap is bigger than most buyers expect.
Where the Hyundai Venue Costs the Least, and the Most
On The Spec’d’s on-road price pages, Puducherry is the cheapest of the 39 cities we price, at 4% road tax. Kerala and Andhra Pradesh’s coastal cities sit at the other end, taxed at 13 to 15.4%.
| City | On-Road Price (HX2 Petrol MT) | Road Tax |
| Puducherry | ₹8.74 Lakh | 4% |
| Kolkata, West Bengal | ₹8.87 Lakh | 5.5% |
| New Delhi | ₹8.99 Lakh | 7% |
| Mumbai, Maharashtra | ₹9.31 Lakh | 11% |
| Chennai, Tamil Nadu | ₹9.49 Lakh | 13% |
| Bengaluru, Karnataka | ₹9.56 Lakh | 14% |
| Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh | ₹9.65 Lakh | 15.4% |
| Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh | ₹9.65 Lakh | 15.4% |
That ₹91,000 gap between Puducherry and the Andhra Pradesh cities is almost entirely road tax; the ex-showroom price and insurance barely move. On The Spec’d’s Mumbai on-road figures, a 20% down payment and a 5-year loan at 9.5% works out to about ₹15,644 a month on the base variant; in Delhi, with lower road tax, it drops to about ₹15,106. If you move states for work on a BH-series plate, Mumbai buyers pay about ₹9,039 every two years instead, roughly ₹63,273 over 14 years against ₹87,989 once on a regular Maharashtra plate. These are The Spec’d’s estimates, built from the maker’s ex-showroom price and each state’s published road-tax rules; always confirm the final figure with your dealer.
Every Hyundai Venue Variant, and What Each Step Buys
The Venue runs 18 variants deep. Most of the early steps are worth paying for; the later ones ask a lot for not much more.
| Variant | Ex-Showroom | On-Road, Mumbai | What It Adds |
| HX2 Petrol MT | ₹7.99 Lakh | ₹9.31 Lakh | Cheapest variant |
| HX4 Petrol MT | ₹8.99 Lakh | ₹10.46 Lakh | Rear camera, folding mirrors, rear defogger, TPMS |
| HX5 Petrol MT | ₹9.56 Lakh | ₹11.1 Lakh | Electric sunroof, smart key with push-button start |
| HX5+ Petrol MT | ₹9.99 Lakh | ₹11.6 Lakh | LED headlamps, wireless charger, rear wiper and washer |
| HX6T Petrol MT | ₹10.89 Lakh | ₹12.74 Lakh | Auto climate control, Bluelink connected car, dash cam |
| HX8 Turbo Petrol MT | ₹11.94 Lakh | ₹13.88 Lakh | Turbo engine, ventilated front seats, 16-inch diamond-cut alloys |
| HX10 Turbo Petrol DCT | ₹14.68 Lakh | ₹17.04 Lakh | Level 2 ADAS, dual 12.3-inch curved displays |
Figures are from The Spec’d’s Hyundai Venue page, which tracks all 18 variants and every price step between them. The cheapest automatic is the HX5 Turbo Petrol DCT at ₹10.95 lakh ex-showroom, and the cheapest diesel is the HX2 Diesel MT at ₹9.95 lakh, ₹1.95 lakh over the equivalent petrol.
Which Variant Is Actually Worth Buying
Buy the HX6T Petrol MT, skip the HX10. The HX6T gets you the sunroof, auto climate control, Bluelink connected-car features and a dash cam for ₹12.74 lakh on-road in Mumbai, everything most daily drivers actually use. The HX8 Turbo adds a punchier engine and ventilated seats for real money, but the HX10 asks ₹2.74 lakh more than the HX8 Turbo DCT for essentially one feature: Level 2 ADAS. At ₹17.04 lakh on-road, that is mid-size SUV territory, and a sub-4m SUV buyer chasing that budget has other options worth cross-checking, including the Venue against the Tata Nexon.
The ADAS Catch Behind the 5-Star Rating
The Venue carries a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating from 2026, scoring 31.15/32 for adult occupants and 44.46/49 for child occupants, and six airbags are standard on every single variant, from the ₹7.99 lakh base car up. That part is genuinely good news for budget-conscious buyers. Level 2 ADAS, Hyundai’s SmartSense suite of forward collision warning, lane keeping assist and high beam assist, is a different story: it is fitted only to the HX10 Turbo Petrol DCT and HX10 Diesel AT, the two most expensive variants in the lineup. Shop on safety alone and you would assume a mid-spec Venue has it. It does not.
Mileage and Running Cost
Hyundai claims up to 20.99 kmpl for the diesel manual, which works out to about ₹4,290 per 1,000 km at ₹90 a litre, and roughly 940 km on the 45-litre tank. The DCT petrol claims 20 kmpl (₹5,000 per 1,000 km), and the standard petrol manual 18.05 kmpl (₹5,540 per 1,000 km). These are claimed, lab-tested figures from The Spec’d’s mileage page; no independent real-world test of this generation Venue has been published yet, so expect a noticeably lower number in city traffic with the air-conditioning running. Against rivals, the Mahindra XUV 3XO claims a higher 21.2 kmpl and the Tata Nexon 24.08 kmpl, both ARAI-rated.
If the sunroof and connected features on the mid-spec cars matter to you, every sunroof car under ₹10 lakh is worth a look alongside the Venue, since the HX5 Petrol MT just squeezes under that mark on ex-showroom price.
What is the on-road price of the Hyundai Venue?
It starts at ₹8.74 lakh in Puducherry, the cheapest of the 39 cities The Spec’d prices, and ₹9.65 lakh in Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, the most expensive. In Mumbai it is ₹9.31 lakh and in Delhi ₹8.99 lakh, all for the base HX2 Petrol MT.
Which Hyundai Venue variant should I buy?
The HX6T Petrol MT, at ₹12.74 lakh on-road in Mumbai. It carries the sunroof, auto climate control and connected-car features most buyers want, without paying for the turbo engine or the ADAS trims further up the range.
Does the Hyundai Venue have ADAS?
Only on the HX10 Turbo Petrol DCT and HX10 Diesel AT, the two most expensive variants. Every other version, including the base HX2, gets six airbags and a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, but not Hyundai’s SmartSense driver-assist suite.
