Hyundai spices up Venue range with Limited Edition badge

In a move similar to the Creta last year, Hyundai has introduced a special edition version of the ever popular Venue simply dubbed the Limited Edition.

Essentially a cosmetic overhaul, the Limited Edition is based on either the mid-range Fluid or top-spec Glide and although specification remains unchanged, the exterior receives a two-tone finish that matches a dark blue body with a white roof, while the interior sports a beige hue with leather/ denim covered seats.

A commemorative Limited Edition plaque rounds off the changes.

Up front, the Limited Edition continues to be motivated by the three-cylinder 1.0 T-GDI petrol engine that sends 88kW/172Nm to the front wheels via a sixspeed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Claimed fuel consumption is 6.5l/100m km for the former 1.0 T-GDI Motion ................................... R285 500 1.0 T-GDI Motion DCT ............................ R319 500 1.0 T-GDI Fluid ....................................... R324 500 1.0 T-GDI Fluid Limited Edition .............. R328 900 1.0 T-GDI Fluid DCT ............................... R355 500 1.0 T-GDI Fluid Limited Edition DCT ...... R360 500 1.0 T-GDI Glide DCT .............................. R385 900 1.0 T-GDI Glide Limited Edition DCT ..... R385 900 and 6.9l/100km for the latter.

Restricted to just 500 units, the Venue Limited Edition comes standard with a seven-year/200 000km warranty as well as a three-year/ 45 000km service plan. – Charl Bosch
