Externally, the S(O) Plus features auto-LED headlights, LED daytime running lights (DRLs), and an LED tail light with a connecting bar design. The variant retains the 15-inch steel wheels and body-colored outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) found in the S(O) model.

Market Position

With the addition of the S(O) Plus variant, the Hyundai Venue’s price range now extends from Rs 7.94 lakh to Rs 13.44 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
