New Hyundai Venue revealed ahead of November 4 launch, bookings open

The Venue is among the largest-selling SUVs of Hyundai in India.

Hyundai Motor India has opened bookings for the new Venue ahead of its launch on November 4. The refreshed compact SUV features a larger body, redesigned exterior, new interiors and updated technology. Customers can book the Venue 2025 by paying Rs 25,000 at any Hyundai dealership or through the company's Click to Buy platform.

The 2025 Hyundai Venue is taller and wider than the outgoing model and comes with a longer wheelbase to improve cabin space. The SUV measures 3,995mm in length, 1,800mm in width and 1,665mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,520mm -- an increase of 20mm over the current Venue. The carmaker said that the vehicle is 48mm taller and 30mm wider, lending it a stronger road presence.

The new Hyundai Venue features revised proportions, twin horn LED DRLs, quad-beam LED headlamps, a dark chrome radiator grille, and a new in-glass Venue emblem. The updated design also includes bridge-type roof rails, muscular wheel arches and 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.

Inside, the Hyundai Venue 2025 adopts a redesigned H-architecture dashboard layout with a new dual-tone theme in dark navy and dove grey. The cabin is equipped with dual 12.3-inch curved panoramic displays that combine the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system.

Other key features include dual-tone leatherette seats with Venue branding, ambient lighting in Moon White shade, a coffee-table-style centre console, terrazzo-textured crash pad finish, rear AC vents, rear window sunshades, two-step reclining rear seats, and an electric four-way adjustable driver seat. The extended wheelbase provides additional rear legroom and better ingress and egress for passengers.

The new Hyundai Venue will be offered with three engine options -- 1.2-litre Kappa MPi petrol (83PS/113.8Nm), 1.0-litre Kappa Turbo GDi petrol (120PS/172Nm) and 1.5-litre U2 CRDi diesel (116PS/250Nm). Transmission choices will include manual, automatic and dual-clutch (DCT) gearboxes, depending on the variant.

In a change from the earlier naming convention, Hyundai will use an alpha-numeric system inspired by 'Hyundai Experience', abbreviated as HX. The petrol and diesel versions will be offered across multiple variants -- HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX6T, HX7, HX8, HX10 -- with higher variants expected to include more premium features and automatic options.

The new Hyundai Venue will be available in six monotone and two dual-tone colour options. New additions include Hazel Blue and Mystic Sapphire, along with a dual-tone Hazel Blue with Abyss Black roof combination. Other colours include Atlas White, Titan Grey, Dragon Red and Abyss Black.

The Hyundai Venue, first introduced in 2019, has been among the company's highest-selling SUVs in India with over 7,00,000 units sold to date.

The refreshed 2025 Hyundai Venue will compete with compact SUVs such as the Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Kia Sonet and Mahindra XUV300. The 2025 Hyundai Venue price is expected to start at around Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom).
