Hyundai Motor India will launch the second-generation Hyundai Venue compact SUV on November 4, 2025. The all-new Venue marks a full model change and will replace the outgoing version that has been on sale since 2019. Bookings for the new model have opened across Hyundai dealerships and the online 'Click to Buy' platform for Rs 25,000.
The new Venue has grown in size, now measuring 3,995mm in length, 1,800mm in width and 1,665mm in height, with a 2,520mm wheelbase. The vehicle is 48mm taller, 30mm wider and 20mm longer in wheelbase than the outgoing version. Design updates include a dark chrome radiator grille, quad beam LED headlamps, twin horn LED DRLs, horizon LED positioning lamps and bridge-type roof rails. The SUV also features muscular wheel arches, sculpted character lines, a signature C-pillar garnish and an in-glass Venue emblem.
Inside, the new Venue features an H-architecture cabin finished in dual-tone Dark Navy and Dove Grey with leatherette upholstery. The centre console adopts a coffee-table layout with ambient lighting in Moon White. The cabin incorporates a terrazzo-textured crash pad and a D-cut steering wheel. The SUV offers a curved panoramic display (12.3-inch + 12.3-inch) combining infotainment and digital instrumentation. The extended wheelbase has allowed for improved rear legroom, complemented by scooped front seatbacks. Comfort features include two-step reclining rear seats, rear AC vents, rear window sunshades and an electric four-way adjustable driver seat.
The all-new Venue introduces Hyundai's Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) system, powered by NVIDIA. This new infotainment system offers over-the-air (OTA) vehicle software updates for up to 20 controllers. It integrates wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, built-in navigation, and a Bose eight-speaker premium sound system. The Venue features more than 70 connected car functions and supports over 400 embedded voice recognition commands in five languages -- Hindi, English, Hinglish, Bengali and Tamil.
Convenience and technology highlights include a wireless smartphone charger, voice-enabled smart electric sunroof, ventilated front seats, a cooled glovebox, surround view monitor, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS-Highline) and remote engine start. The infotainment and cluster displays provide access to features such as drive mode selection (Eco, Normal, Sport) and cluster user interface themes (Classic, Modern, and Simple).
In terms of safety, the new Venue features Hyundai SmartSense ADAS Level 2 technology with 16 functions, including forward collision-avoidance assist (for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, junction turns, and oncoming traffic), lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, smart cruise control with stop & go, and parking collision avoidance assist. The vehicle offers more than 65 safety features, of which 33 are standard across all variants.
The SUV's structure uses 71% hot-stamped, ultra-high-strength and advanced high-strength steel for improved impact resistance. Other safety features include six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), hill-start assist control, electric parking brake with auto hold, all-disc brakes, electrochromic mirror with telematics switches, rollover sensor, surround view monitor and three-point seatbelts with reminders for all occupants.
The 2025 Hyundai Venue is available with the same three engine options as before. The 1.2-litre Kappa MPi petrol engine delivers 83PS and 114.7Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The 1.0-litre Turbo GDi petrol develops 120PS and 172Nm of torque, available with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) and idle stop and go function. The 1.5-litre U2 CRDi diesel produces 116PS and 250Nm of torque, offered with a 6-speed manual and a newly introduced 6-speed automatic transmission.
The new Venue offers three traction control modes -- Sand, Mud and Snow. There are as many drive modes -- Eco, Normal and Sport, with paddle shifters on select variants.
For variant nomenclature, Hyundai has introduced a new 'HX' system inspired by 'Hyundai Experience'. Petrol and diesel variants will be offered in multiple trims, including HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX6T, HX7, HX8 and HX10, marking a shift from the earlier S, SX, and SX(O) naming convention. We expect the price to start from Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards.
The model will be offered in six monotone and two dual-tone colours. The palette includes new shades such as Hazel Blue and Mystic Sapphire. Dual-tone options include Hazel Blue with Abyss Black roof and Atlas White with Abyss Black roof. Other colours include Atlas White, Titan Grey, Dragon Red and Abyss Black.
With over 7,00,000 customers for the first-generation Venue, Hyundai aims to strengthen its position in the compact SUV market with the new model, combining larger dimensions, upgraded interiors, advanced connectivity, and a wider powertrain range.
The 2025 Hyundai Venue will make its market debut on November 4, 2025, with official prices to be announced at launch. It will rival the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Skoda Kylaq and Mahindra XUV 3XO.
