The next-generation Hyundai Venue has been fully revealed ahead of its official debut. Fresh spy images clearly show the compact SUV’s new design and upgraded cabin. The new Venue takes clear inspiration
from Hyundai’s bigger SUVs like the Creta, Tucson, and even the futuristic Ioniq 9. The front end now wears a split-headlamp setup with C-shaped LED DRLs that connect neatly with a much larger grille. The bumper has also been reshaped and features air vents.
From the side, the Venue looks cleaner and more premium. The flared wheel arches, a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels, and a blacked-out C-pillar with the ‘Venue’ inscription. The rear design is where the Venue really feels new. A full-width LED light bar, framed by black contrast trim, gives it a wider stance. The redesigned bumper features thick dual-tone cladding and L-shaped reflectors. Sequential turn indicators and an ‘SX Turbo’ badge confirm that the model seen here is the top-spec variant.Also Read: Lexus Updates Luxury MPV LM 350h In India With New Features And E20 Compatibility
The cabin has received one of the biggest overhauls yet. The twin-screen layout, similar to what we’ve seen in the new Creta, combines the digital driver’s display and infotainment system in a single curved panel. The dashboard layout looks cleaner, the switchgear feels more premium, and the new steering wheel design ties it all together. Expected features include a 360-degree camera, wireless phone connectivity, and Hyundai’s latest Level 2 ADAS tech. Under the hood, the Venue will likely continue with its familiar range of engines: the 83hp 1.2-litre petrol, 120hp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, and 100hp 1.5-litre diesel. Gearbox options will include a 5-speed manual for the 1.2, a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT for the turbo, and a 6-speed manual for the diesel. An automatic diesel could also be on the cards.Also Read: Everything You Need To Know About Tata Punch EV - Check Out The Full Variant Price List
The Venue has long been a key player in the compact SUV space, averaging 7,000–8,000 units a month. Prices are expected to rise slightly from the current Rs 7.26 lakh (ex-showroom). With its striking design and updated features, Hyundai is clearly gearing up to take on the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, and Mahindra XUV 3XO once again.
