Hyundai Australia has confirmed yet another update for the Venue, with the light SUV to increase its pricing and specification from early December.

Pricing is up $500 across the board, with the entry-level grade now unnamed (it was called Go) and priced from $20,690 plus on-road costs with a six-speed manual or $22,710 with a six-speed torque-converter automatic.

The manual and automatic variants of the mid-range Active grade now start from $22,620 and $24,640 respectively, while the automatic-only Elite flagship has moved up to $26,490.

Specification-wise, the entry-level grade is now fitted with 15-inch alloy wheels (it had steel items), heated side mirrors and premium cloth seat upholstery, while the Active has added premium-finish seat bolsters and the Elite has gained a sunroof – unless you opt for two-tone paintwork, as it’s one or the other.

Notably, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support is also now standard in the unnamed entry-level grade and Active (the Elite gets satellite navigation instead), alongside a central storage bin with a sliding lid.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support is also now standard range-wide.

Also of note, 17-inch alloy wheels were added to the Active in July, while the Elite gained keyless entry and start at the same time.

As before, Premium paintwork options include Phantom Black, Intense Blue, The Denim, Cosmic Grey, Fiery Red and Typhoon Silver, all of which cost $495 extra alongside Elite-only Acid Yellow. Polar White is the only no-cost colour on offer.
