It is the entry-level variant for the SUV’s turbo-petrol and diesel engine options
The mid-spec Hyundai Venue S(O)/S+ is the only trim available with all powertrain options. The carmaker is offering the choice of a turbo-petrol and a diesel engine from this trim. While the S(O) trim is available with both naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol engines, the S+ is offered solely with the diesel. But is this mid-spec trim worth the asking price?

Why Consider The Venue S(O)/S+?
With the S(O)/S+ trim, Hyundai has provided the Venue with LED lighting all around, along with cornering lamps and LED DRLs. The DCT variants also get leather upholstery for the flat-bottom steering wheel and gear knob. There are quite a few useful features added as well including cruise control (turbo variants only), a height-adjustable driver’s seat, and paddle shifters (DCT only). In terms of safety, the only addition is a reversing camera.

Why Skip The Venue S(O)/S+?
Even though this variant offers decent value for money for the turbo-petrol and diesel engine options, the premium for the petrol engine is too steep as it misses out on some of the premium features which are limited to the turbo-petrol variants only. Also, if sunroof, wireless phone charger, auto AC, and connected car tech are your priorities, you must hop over to the second-to-top SX trim.

Verdict |
| Skip for a lack of essential comforts |
|
| Consider it on a strict budget as it just about covers the basics |
|
| S+/S(O) |
Consider for turbo-petrol or diesel engine options, but the premium for the petrol feels steep |
| Consider with petrol engine for the premium features, skip for diesel |
|
| Go for it only if you want a top-spec turbo-petrol or diesel variant, loaded with feel-good features and added safety |
