To provide even more value to its Venue range, Hyundai South Africa has expanded its line-up with a special variant – the Limited Edition – sporting a unique twotone exterior colour scheme and bespoke interior treatment. This derivative of the small SUV is available in three variants with a choice between the Fluid and Glide specificat­ion levels.

Only 500 units of the Limited Edition, with a white roof paired with a blue exterior body colour, will be imported. The two-tone exterior is complement­ed by striking 16-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment. The interior, sporting a beige colour theme paired with denim cloth and leather, also sets it apart from the other variants in the Venue range.

The Limited Edition is powered by the three-cylinder turbocharg­ed Kappa 1.0 T-GDI engine, delivering 88 kw and 172 Nm maximum torque. In Fluid specificat­ion the engine is paired with either a manual six-speed transmissi­on or a seven-speed automatic dual clutch transmissi­on (DCT). The flagship Glide variant only comes with the DCT. Fuel consumptio­n is claimed to be 6,5 l/100 km for the manual variants, and 6,9 l/100 km for the DCT.

The infotainme­nt system in the Limited Edition features an eight-inch display audio touchscree­n with Apple Carplay and Android Auto compatibil­ity, which also serves as a rear-view monitor. In the Glide version the flat-folding rear seatback comes with a 60/40 split and the cargo space features a cover for added security. The Limited Edition Fluid (manual) is now available at R328 900, with the DCT variant priced at R360 500, and the flagship Glide DCT at R385 900.
