New Hyundai Venue: Launch on October 24, what to expect

Hyundai Motor India will introduce the second-generation Venue in the country on October 24, 2025. This will be the maiden full model update of the compact SUV since its launch in 2019.

A very important model for Hyundai, the Venue currently contributes almost 17% to the carmaker's domestic sales, only behind the Creta, which has the largest share at 36%.

The Hyundai Venue has consistently performed handsomely despite stiff challenge from the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet and Mahindra XUV 3XO.

New Hyundai Venue: Exterior Updates

The new Venue is expected to retain its compact SUV dimensions but with changes to the styling. It can be made out from the spy shots that there will be a split-headlamp arrangement with vertical LED DRLs, a revised parametric grille, updated bumpers, and a new tailgate. The rear will have connected LED taillamps, and the model is expected to come with redesigned 16-inch alloy wheels and roof rails.

New Hyundai Venue: Interior and Features

The cabin is likely to get a redesigned dashboard with a dual-screen setup combining the infotainment unit and a digital instrument cluster. Features could include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, and updated seat upholstery. The second-generation Venue is expected to offer Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, and autonomous emergency braking.

The Venue already boasts a robust set of safety equipment, including six airbags, electronic stability control and ABS with EBD.

New Hyundai Venue: Powertrain

The engine lineup is expected to be carried over from the current model. This includes a 1.2-litre petrol (83PS and 113.8Nm), a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (120PS and 172Nm), and a 1.5-litre diesel (116PS and 250Nm). Transmission options are likely to be a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.

New Hyundai Venue: Market Position

The new Venue will continue to compete in the sub-4-metre SUV segment against models such as the Nexon, Brezza, Sonet and XUV 3XO. Hyundai aims to strengthen its position in the segment with updated equipment and safety features.
