JAKARTA - On the DKI Jakarta Province Motor Vehicle Selling Value (NJKB) website, Hyundai is known to have registered one of its new models called Venue for the Indonesian market.

According to VOI monitoring, the small SUV will be present in the 1.0 liter engine variant with automatic transmission (AT) and dual-clutch (DCT) as well as a manual transmission 1.2 liter machine (MT) type. It is stated that the selling value of this model starts from IDR 155 million to IDR 180 million.

However, keep in mind that the prices listed on the NKJB website do not cover all sales taxes such as BBNKB, PPh, VAT, and others. So that the actual price is different when this car is marketed in Indonesia.

Responding to this, the Chief Operating Officer of PT Hyundai Motor Indonesia (HMID), Fransiscus Soerjopranoto said his party would launch more vehicles to meet the needs of the Indonesian market.

"The point is we are committed to launching many products. So in the next 3 years, the number of products will double in Indonesia," said Frans in response to reporters' questions in Cikarang, West Java, Wednesday, November 6.

In addition, Frans explained that Hyundai will present a hybrid vehicle line for the Indonesian market in accordance with the company's global vision.

"So as stated by the central Hyundai, we will focus on hybrids other than EVs," added Frans.

Although it has hinted about the presence of the latest car, Frans has not been able to provide certainty about the debut of his latest model.

"About when the launch will take place, wait for the play date," Frans said briefly.

Now, Hyundai Venue has been sold in several major markets, consisting of India, South Korea, the United States (US), Canada, South Africa, and Australia.

It is estimated that the model to be sold in Indonesia has a 1.0 liter Kappa T-GDi engine that has a power of up to 120 ps and a torque of 172 Nm. This will coincide with the 1.2 liter Kappa option which provides 83 ps of power and 115 Nm of torque.
