Hyundai expanded its Cargo range when it released the new Venue Cargo, a bigger and better version of its light commercial offering.
Hyundai Venue Cargo now in service
The Hyundai Venue has been a very successful marque for the South Korean brand, very quickly becoming a favorite among SA consumers. Seeking to build on that success, Hyundai South Africa has now released a new Venue model that will service the meeting point of consumers who like the looks and size of the Venue and need a light commercial vehicle.
The new Hyundai Venue Cargo will join its smaller i10 Cargo stablemate in servicing the needs of a commercial niche that has always seemed to be overlooked by automakers. The market is surprisingly large encompassing every type of business that would need a small delivery vehicle.
Fit for purpose
The Cargo is based on the entry-level derivative, the Venue 1.2 Motion and sees a few alterations made to the standard Venue model which allows it to cart around 500kg of whatever you want to fit inside. The rear seat has been removed, and a mesh grille has been installed at the rear of the driver and passenger seats to keep cargo in place. Mesh grilles have also been installed over the window glass to protect it from loaded items. Exterior wise, the Venue Cargo, is equipped with 15-inch steel wheel rims with a styled plastic cover and comes in a Polar White exterior color, designated for Cargo models.
“We have had considerable success with the Grand i10 Cargo, which was the first car in Hyundai’s local range to be converted into a two-seater with a secure load area for commercial use. After careful consideration we identified the entry-level small SUV in our range, the Venue, to be well suited for a bigger Cargo derivative,”
Stanley Anderson, Sales and Operations Director – Hyundai Automotive
The Cargo’s interior load compartment behind the front seats has a 1296 litre capacity, enhanced by the security features mentioned earlier. The dimensions of the cargo compartment are 1 200 mm (L) 1 200 mm (W) and 900 mm (H) allowing users to get the most out of the cargo area. From the front seats forward, it has all the standard features that you will find in the normal 1.2l Motion derivative.
Pricing
Hyundai has kept pricing keen as they are acutely aware of the challenge that local small business is facing. They have also kept the stellar 7-year / 200 000 km warranty, 7-year / 150 000 km roadside assistance and a 3-year / 45 000 km service plan in place.
