Hyundai Venue S+ Variant Launched at Rs 9.36 Lakh in India, Gets Electric Sunroof, Six Airbags and More

Following the launch of the S(O) + variant of the Venue compact SUV, Hyundai has added a new variant to the SUV line-up. It is called the S+ and is positioned between the S and the S(O). At Rs 9.36 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hyundai Venue S+ adds an electric sunroof over the S variant it is based on. This makes it roughly Rs 64,000 more affordable than the S(O)+ variant, which the company recently launched with the same feature. 

Aside from the said feature, the Venue S+ offers an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a digital instrument cluster with a colour TFT display. Other bits include rear AC vents as well as roof rails on the exterior. Safety-wise, the Venue S+ is equipped with automatic headlamps, six airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, hill start assist, seatbelt reminder, a tyre pressure monitor, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
