New Hyundai Venue Testing On Roads
The new-gen Hyundai Venue is now becoming a familiar sight on Indian roads – spotted several times in heavy camouflage. The continuous road testing hints that Hyundai is now in the final stages of development.
If reports are to be believed, the company may target a festive season 2025 launch – which makes sense since Diwali & Navratri are always hot months for new car sales.
Big Exterior Updates Coming
Even though Hyundai will keep the Venue compact in size, the styling is going to be all-new. Spy shots reveal that the SUV has ditched the old mesh grille in favour of stacked horizontal bars that give it a sharper stance.
Key exterior changes:
- Fresh horizontal bar front grille
- C-shaped LED DRLs framing vertical headlights
- Reworked front bumper with new detailing
- All-new 16-inch alloys
- Redesigned rear bumper, spoiler & tail-lamp setup
The design language is clearly inspired by bigger SUVs like the Creta and Alcazar, giving Venue a more premium road presence despite its small footprint.
Inside The Cabin – More Premium Than Before
This is where Hyundai is making the biggest jump. The new Venue interior will be completely reworked with a new dashboard and centre console. Materials, trims and upholstery will also feel more upmarket.
Expected feature highlights:
- Larger touchscreen infotainment with updated UI
- Dual-pane sunroof (likely a big selling point)
- Level 2 ADAS safety package (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, blind spot detection etc.)
- New digital instrument cluster
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Connected car functions via Bluelink app
- Premium sound system upgrade
This would make the new Venue one of the most feature-loaded compact SUVs in its segment.
Engine Options – Familiar But Proven
Hyundai isn’t expected to mess with the formula under the hood. The same engine lineup will continue:
- 1.2L petrol (NA)
- 1.0L turbo petrol
- 1.5L diesel
Transmission choices will also stay the same with 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic (AT) and 7-speed DCT depending on engine choice.
So while no big surprises here, expect some tweaks for smoother drive and efficiency.
