Hyundai is working on the new generation of its popular compact SUV – the Venue. You may have seen the spy images online. These pictures give us some exciting hints about what’s changing in this new model. Let’s talk about the launch date, design updates, new features, and everything else you should know.
Launch Timeline of the New Venue
The new Hyundai Venue is already being tested on Indian roads. The test models show final body parts, which means it’s almost ready. The launch is expected by the end of this year. Hyundai might release it around the festive season, maybe just before Diwali.
Design – Small Changes, Big Impact
The look of the new Venue is not completely different, but it’s much cleaner and sharper. It still has that boxy shape people like, but now with smoother lines. The front part has a new design, looking more like Hyundai’s latest SUV models.
There is a new grille in a rectangular shape and split LED headlamps. The side view has big wheel arches, thick plastic cladding, new 16-inch alloy wheels, and better-looking mirrors. Roof rails are still there. It also gets disc brakes on all four wheels, something only the Venue N Line had before.
At the back, you’ll notice a new tailgate and connected LED tail lights. The roof spoiler is bigger, and there’s a new bumper too.
Interior – A Whole New Look Inside
We don’t have full interior images yet, but Hyundai is expected to give the Venue a fresh cabin. It will have many new features, likely shared with the Hyundai Creta and Alcazar. Some tech could also come from the upcoming Kia Syros.
One of the big changes could be a huge 30-inch screen. This screen may include a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital speedometer, and a 5-inch panel for climate control. Other new features may include a panoramic sunroof, cooled seats, and second-row seats that can slide and recline.
Safety and Smart Features
The next Venue will be safer than before. Spy shots suggest that it will come with RADAR-based Level 2 ADAS. This is a big step up from the current Level 1 system.
With Level 2 ADAS, the Venue will get smart safety tools like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and forward collision warning. It will also have front parking sensors and auto high-beam control. These features will help the driver and make the ride much safer.
Engine and Gearbox Options
The engine options will remain the same as before. So, you’ll still get:
| Engine Type | Power Output | Gearbox Options |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0L Turbo Petrol (3-cylinder) | 118 bhp | 6-speed iMT, 7-speed DCT |
| 1.2L NA Petrol (4-cylinder) | 82 bhp | 5-speed Manual |
| 1.5L Turbo Diesel (4-cylinder) | 99 bhp | 6-speed Manual, 6-speed Torque Converter Automatic |
This gives people a good range of choices depending on their needs.
Electric Version Coming Soon
Hyundai might also release an electric version of the Venue soon. It could use the same battery and motor setup as the upcoming Hyundai Creta Electric. Kia is also expected to launch the Syros EV in early 2026. So yes, we may see the Venue EV on the roads in the near future.
