Extending the option of a sunroof to a wider set of buyers, Hyundai India has today launched the Venue S (O) Plus variant, which is priced at Rs 10 lakh. This is now the most affordable variant of the Venue to be equipped with an electric sunroof. The S (O) Plus variant is available only with the 1.2-litre Kappa petrol engine, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. The S (O) Plus is priced Rs 12,000 higher than the 1.2-litre Venue S (O), but undercuts the next sunroof-equipped variant in the 1.2-litre lineup, the SX (Rs 11.05 lakh), by over Rs 1 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).
