Diesel AT combination is new and was not offered with current Venue.
Notably, HX 7 trim level is Diesel MT only, while HX 6T is NA Petrol MT only. The most versatile trim level is HX 5 with highest number of engine and gearbox combinations. The leaked blurbs also confirm Traction Modes with 2026 Hyundai Venue (Sand, Mud, Snow) and Drive Modes (Eco, Normal, Sport). Paddle shifters will be offered with AT and DCT gearbox options.
