The Venue was launched on May 21, 2019, in India and was initially available in 5 trim levels: E, S, SX, SX+, and SX(O).[https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/hyundai-venue-bookings-open-officially-on-may-2-2019-412481 Hyundai Venue bookings open officially on May 2, 2019] As of December 2019, bookings had crossed the 100,000 mark.

In the Indian market, the Venue occupies the sub-4 metre SUV category, benefiting from the Indian tax advantages for cars shorter than 4 metres. The length is reduced by {{cvt|45|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} to achieve the sub-4 metre mark by fitting a less protruding rear bumper. The Venue is powered by a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces {{convert|83|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|115|Nm|kgm lbft|abbr=on|sigfig=3}} of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, and a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged GDI petrol engine that offers {{convert|120|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|172|Nm|kgm lbft|abbr=on|sigfig=3}} of torque. The turbo petrol exclusively gets an option of a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual as well.

The 1.4-litre diesel engine, which the Venue was originally launched with, was replaced by a 1.5-litre Bharat Stage 6-compliant diesel engine in March 2020. The larger engine produces {{convert|100|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|240|Nm|kgm lbft|abbr=on|sigfig=3}} of torque, which is 10 hp and 20 Nm more than the 1.4-litre engine's output. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.{{Cite web|url=https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/hyundai-venue-bs6-to-get-more-features-416212|title = Hyundai Venue BS6 to get more features}}

In July 2020, a 6-speed manual transmission without a clutch option was introduced for the 1.0-litre engine. It is marketed as iMT technology. It functions with an intention sensor on the gear lever, hydraulic actuator, and transmission control unit (TCU). The TCU receives a signal from the lever intention sensor, indicating the driver's intention to change gears, which then sends a signal to engage the hydraulic actuator forming hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic pressure is then sent to the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) through the clutch tube. The CSC uses this pressure to control the clutch and pressure plate, thereby engaging and disengaging the clutch.{{Cite news|date=2020-07-22|title=Hyundai Venue launched with clutchless manual transmission at Rs 9,99,990: DCT gets paddle shifters|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/auto/car-news/hyundai-venue-imt-launched-venue-imt-price-clutchless-manual-transmission-venue-dct-paddle-shifters/2031528/|access-date=2020-08-07|website=The Financial Express|language=en-US}}
