I bought hyundai venue sx+ dct in July 2019. Buying experience was good. I booked the car on 4th july and the car was delivered to us on 26th july. All the formalities went on smoothly on the delivery day though no free accessories/goodies were given to us. Coming to the riding experience i would say that hyundai has improved a lot. Suspension is stiff enough which increases the comfort level. The steering wheel is super light which is very good for city cruising. The best part is that full hood is visible while driving which makes it easier for everyone to drive. Coming to looks i would say that it looks more of a mini creta. Some special features like projector headlights with cornering lamps, projector fog lamp, diamond cut 16" alloys, sunroof, air purifier, wireless charger and mobile conmectivity makes it best in its class. Air conditioning works fabulous and the seats are comfortable enough which makes it easier to take this car for long journeys even in the extreme climatic conditions. ICE consist of touch screen player with fm, usb and bluetooth connectivity with good sound output. Never felt the need go upgrade the ICE. Coming to the performance i would say that its a perfect combo of turbo petrol and dct gear box which again makes it stand out in its segment. Before buying the car i was doubtful about the performance of the car as its a 1 litre, 3 cylinder engine so i first took a test drive of the car and was totally satisfied with the performance of the car. My car has successfully done 5000 kms till date with no issues. In city i am getting mileage between 10-14 kmpl and on highway i can easily manage to get between 16-19 kmpl. The maximum which i got was 21 kmpl as per mid on my recent trip to Delhi. Coming to aftersales service and maintainance i would comment that hyundai has a good service network with on the counter availability of spares through Mobis outlets. Its too early for me to comment on how economic is the service costs of venue because i have taken my my car for first free service till now but since i also own an i20 diesel and based the the service experience of it i would say that Hyundai's maintainance is economic. At last i would like to mention few pros and cons of Venue SX+ DCT.
Pros :-
-Sturdy built quality of the car with top notch quality of plastics.
- Best combo of turbo petrol engine and DCT gearbox which is well tuned and well refined.
- Loaded with the equipments like air purifier, blue link telematics.
- Good service network of hyundai.
Cons :-
- No rear wiper and six airbags option on the automatic variant.
- Doesn't have paddle shifters.
- Rear seat is comfortable more about for 2 passengers rather than three.
