Hyundai Venue On Road Price in Gulbarga

Choosing between petrol and diesel is often the first fork in the road for Venue buyers in Gulbarga, and it has a significant impact on both purchase cost and long-term running expenses. The petrol lineup uses a 1.2-litre Kappa engine with manual or DCT transmission options, while diesel variants come with a 1.5-litre CRDi unit available in manual and automatic guises. Diesel variants sit higher on the price ladder, but for buyers covering longer distances — common in tier-2 Karnataka cities where intercity travel is routine — the fuel economy advantage can offset the premium over time.

Across the 27 variants, the on-road cost in Gulbarga spans a gap of nearly ₹9.8 Lakh. At the entry point, the VENUE 1.2 Kappa MT HX2 at ₹9.69 Lakh delivers a well-equipped starting package without crossing into the higher road tax slab. The VENUE 1.5 CRDi AT DSL HX10 DT at ₹19.53 Lakh tops the range with the diesel automatic combination and a fully loaded feature set. Between these two, mid-tier petrol DCT and diesel manual variants offer a practical middle ground for buyers who want either a convenient gearbox or better fuel efficiency without stretching to the top end.

Karnataka's road tax regime is tiered, and it directly affects where each Venue variant lands in terms of total cost. Variants with an ex-showroom price under ₹10 Lakh attract a 14% road tax, while those between ₹10 Lakh and ₹20 Lakh fall into the 17% slab. An additional Infrastructure & Road Safety Cess of 11% is levied on the road tax amount itself, and a Transport Workers Social Security Cess of ₹1,000 applies to all registrations. TCS at 1% kicks in for vehicles priced above ₹10 Lakh, adding a further layer to the on-road figure for mid and upper variants.

The on-road price of a car is the total amount a buyer pays at the dealership — it includes the ex-showroom price, road tax, registration fee, HSRP charges, smart card fee, insurance, and applicable cess or TCS. For the Venue in Gulbarga, registration costs ₹600, HSRP is ₹400, and the smart card fee is ₹200. Insurance follows IRDAI-mandated norms with 3-year third-party cover, 1-year own damage, and PA cover calculated at Non-Metro Zone B rates, which tend to be slightly lower than metro-city premiums.

With 27 configurations spanning two fuel types and three transmission options, the Venue's variant ladder in Gulbarga gives buyers real flexibility. Petrol manual variants cluster at the more affordable end, making them a sensible pick for city-focused commuters. Diesel automatics, while pricier upfront, suit buyers who prioritise highway comfort and lower fuel costs per kilometre. DCT petrol variants sit in between, offering clutch-free convenience without the diesel premium.

Before settling on a variant, it helps to map your expected annual running costs against the upfront price difference. A diesel variant's higher on-road cost may pay for itself within a few years if your monthly mileage is high, while a petrol manual keeps initial ownership outlay lean. Factoring in insurance renewals, service intervals, and fuel prices in Gulbarga will give you a more complete picture of what the Venue truly costs to own.
