Hyundai Venue Facelift: Hyundai India has commenced testing its next-generation Venue in the country. This updated sub-4-meter SUV features exterior design enhancements and a host of new features. Notably, the Venue ranks as Hyundai’s second best-selling model, following the Creta, with the Exynos in third place.
A test mule of the 2025 Venue was spotted camouflaged
Since the introduction of the new Venue model, sales have surged significantly. Recent media reports indicate that a test mule of the 2025 Venue was spotted camouflaged, revealing elements such as new horizontal taillights and updated wheel covers for the steel wheels, along with potential removal of roof rails, suggesting it may be a mid-spec variant. The launch is anticipated later this year, as the company aims to further boost sales with this new iteration.
Expected to feature redesigned headlamps, a fresh grille
The upcoming Hyundai Venue is expected to feature redesigned headlamps, a fresh grille, updated front and rear bumpers, new alloy wheels, and a revised tailgate. Inside, enhancements may include a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, new upholstery, and a redesigned dashboard. Additionally, it could incorporate Level 2 ADAS and six airbags for improved safety. The new generation Venue will retain the same engine options: a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.0-liter turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-liter diesel engine.
Hyundai Venue will compete with Kia Sonet=Maruti Brezza
Transmission choices will include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, a 7-speed DCT, and a 6-speed torque converter automatic. Upon its release, the new Hyundai Venue will compete with models such as the Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3OO, Renault Kiger, and Nissan Magnite.
