Hyundai Venue EV

The Hyundai Venue EV is the electric version of Hyundai's popular compact SUV, expected to launch in India at around ₹12 lakh (ex-showroom). It is aimed at families and first-time EV buyers who want a practical, easy-to-drive SUV without the running costs of a petrol model.

Range and battery

Hyundai claims a driving range of 400 km on a single charge for the Venue EV, powered by a 42 kWh battery pack. That claimed figure should cover a week of daily city commutes and even a modest highway trip, though real-world range will depend on traffic, load and air-conditioning use. Official charging times and fast-charging capability have not been confirmed yet, so expect those numbers closer to launch.

Design and practicality

The Venue EV is a 5-seater compact SUV, inheriting the familiar proportions that have made the Venue a strong seller in India. It is easy to park, comfortable for a small family and should offer a practical boot, though exact figures are still awaited. Hyundai lists a single STD variant at the expected ₹12 lakh price and three colour options — Atlas White, Titan Grey and Fiery Red.

Who should buy it

If you want a compact electric SUV from a mainstream brand with a claimed 400 km range, the Venue EV is worth waiting for. Since it is yet to launch, Hyundai has not confirmed charging times, real-world efficiency, warranty terms or final pricing. Wait for the official specification sheet before booking, and treat the ₹12 lakh price and 400 km range as expected figures rather than confirmed numbers.
