We can't compare this DCT with the DSG from VW. It's in a different league altogether although both use a dual clutch system. DSG is by far the best I have experienced although even on latest VW Polo threads BHPians have reported failures with the DQ200 transmission. It remains to be seen how reliable the Hyundai DCTs are going to be. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() With all its mentioned short comings - be it the size (lack thereof?), small non exciting engines or whatever. Hyundai as often, got market readings right. They read the pulse of the market the best and made a car that gives all the bells and whistles that people currently are looking for. They also got the auto magazines to give it sharply positive review ratings. (Funniest was OD where Mr. Paradkar said 'even with its sub par power train the Venue is still the best car in this segment'. OD should stop calling itself an auto mag with this line.) The pricing is certainly aggressive & they could have achieved these numbers even with slightly higher pricing IMO. Guess they just went all out to kill the Brezza once and for all. No surprise if the prices go up quickly over the next 2-3 quarters and then the volumes settle down stable below the Brezza again. Its a remarkable and jaw dropping number of bookings for what is not essentially a cheap car to purchase by any means. That in what is pretty much a slow-down in the sector makes it even more remarkable. Well done Hyundai. Once the hype of the new car settles, it will be worth seeing how it continues. I for one, don't think this car will age as well as the Brezza/EcoSport/Nexon. Its the one at the highest risk of losing its shine (not the actual colour shine!) faster than peers with time. Just my opinion. Last edited by Reinhard : 31st July 2019 at 13:35. |

In present day - if you don't own up to your mistakes, customer exercise other options and leave the brand. More so, the 1.5 NA + TC combination is not that fuel efficient leave aside the bling that Venue offers. I have driven it and can say it with conviction that though it is better than the previous iteration yet it is still not up to the mark. | |

| ![]() Hyundai has done extremely well with Venue and it shows. Despite its shortcomings (read rear bench and space) the product is well received and the credit goes to the long list of features and VFM pricing (variant to variant for both diesel and petrol). Really hope they get a DCT variant between S and SX+. That would really make the numbers hit the roof. Can we have the team-bhp official review please? Its long due now. ![]() |

| ![]() Someone a few parking spots over from mine has the DCT. I was surprised by the amount of engine noise at idle, given how silent Hyundais usually are (even their small 3-pot diesels) compared to their contemporaries. Anomaly or is NVH actually an issue on the Venue? |

But got a good deal on Ecosport Titanium + MT and decided to spend 70K more for the 6 airbags and rear wiper mainly. Other smaller things like full size spare, 4 parking sensors, 40-60 rear seats also helped. I almost cancelled booking after Ford raised the prices this July ![]() | |

I heard there have been rains in Kota off late that are more than normal. Also - this is moisture condensation. So caused by humid air with the car parked in a cooler place. Quite a normal thing really even for the location in this season. And such one offs are bound to happen. Whats unacceptable is the really childish fix provided by Hyundai service!

![]() Ecosport is fine at low speeds etc, however, try some spirited driving and it doesn't take long to realize that there isn't much real punch out there. The reverse happens in the Venue. Lethargic initial responses, but strong punch thereafter. In the end, it boils down to personal choice. | |

Is there any loss of power or hesitancy in starting and is this issue seen only on cold starts? Have you tried using petrol from another bunk and has it made a difference? Last edited by vishy76 : 1st August 2019 at 12:23. | |
