The Hyundai Venue is one of the most successful compact SUVs in the Indian market, known for its bold design, modern features, and multiple engine options. Competing against rivals such as the Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, and Mahindra XUV300, the Venue has consistently been a popular choice among buyers seeking a balance of style, practicality, and affordability.
Now, the Venue is set to become even more appealing with the rollout of the new GST 2.0 reforms, which come into effect on September 22, 2025. The government has rationalised taxes on small cars and compact SUVs under 4 metres, leading to a significant reduction in the Venue's ex-showroom prices across its petrol and diesel line-up.
Currently, the petrol variants of the Hyundai Venue, powered by the 1.0-litre turbo and 1.2-litre petrol engines, attract a tax of 28% GST plus 1% cess, totalling 29%. The diesel variants, equipped with a 1.5-litre engine, are taxed at 28% GST plus 3% cess, totalling 31%. Under the new GST 2.0 structure, both petrol and diesel versions will be taxed at a uniform 18% flat GST rate with no cess. This change translates into meaningful price drops, particularly for the diesel trims that earlier carried a higher tax burden.
