5 Things To Look Forward To In Hyundai Venue
Dual Clutch Automatic Transmission
Hyundai will not only introduce the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine with the Venue but also a dual clutch automatic transmission with it. The new turbo petrol engine will be mated to a 7-speed DCT gearbox. Hyundai already uses this transmission overseas in quite a few of its cars. Reportedly, this transmission provides real quick shifts while maintaining decent levels of fuel efficiency.
The 7-speed DCT’s transmission logic has been specially tuned for the Venue’s engine while keeping in mind Indian customer’s needs. Hyundai says that the transmission maintains a perfect balance between spirited driving and fuel efficiency. The Venue will be the first car in the segment to offer a DCT transmission. While its rivals like the Tata Nexon and Maruti Vitara Brezza offer a choice of AMT, the Honda WR-V and Mahindra XUV300 are only available with a manual transmission.
