The second-generation Hyundai Venue has been spotted completely undisguised, revealing major design updates that align it with the brand’s global SUV language. The upcoming model, likely to launch in India on November 4, sports a more aggressive stance. The front fascia now features a wider parametric grille inspired by the Creta, flanked by sleeker LED DRLs and vertically stacked headlamps. From the side, the Venue retains its compact proportions but gains a cleaner shoulder line and new 16-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, the tailgate has been completely reworked with connected LED taillights and a redesigned bumper that adds visual bulk. These updates collectively give the Venue a more global look as seen on other Hyundai models. This suggests Hyundai’s intention to refresh its styling to maintain its position in the competitive compact SUV space.
Feature-Rich Cabin With Dual 12.3-Inch Displays
Inside, the new Hyundai Venue will likely see a complete overhaul focused on technology and comfort. Spy images from South Korea suggest a new dashboard layout dominated by twin 12.3-inch screens, one for the digital instrument cluster and another for the infotainment system. This setup is bigger than the 10.25-inch dual displays seen in the latest Creta, indicating a significant tech upgrade. Other visible enhancements include redesigned air vents, and improved materials on the dashboard and door trims. The new Venue will likely offer features like Level 2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, and more, marking a step up from the current model’s feature set. Hyundai will continue to offer features like a sunroof, wireless charging, ventilated seats, and ambient lighting in higher variants. These interior changes could make the compact SUV feel more upmarket, bridging the gap between the Venue and the Creta.
Powertrain & Safety Updates Expected
Under the hood, Hyundai will most likely retain the powertrain options. The current lineup includes a 1.2-litre petrol (82HP, 114NM) with 5MT, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (118HP, 172NM) with 6MT/7DCT, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine (114HP, 250NM) with 6MT, and these are likely to carry forward. On the safety front, the addition of Level 2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, and more would mark a major advancement for the Venue in its segment. Some structural reinforcements and additional airbags could also be part of the update.
Launch Timeline & Market Outlook
The new Hyundai Venue is likely to make its Indian debut on November 4, 2025. The current Venue has been one of Hyundai’s best-selling SUVs since its launch in 2019. It has already surpassed 7,00,000 sales in India. With the second-generation model, Hyundai aims to strengthen its dominance against rivals such as the Nexon, Sonet, and Brezza. Given the addition of high-end features, ADAS, and refreshed styling, prices will rise slightly. The new Venue’s updated design, technology, and safety upgrades could help Hyundai maintain its foothold in the subcompact SUV market.
