All-New Hyundai Venue Unveiled Ahead of Launch; Bookings Now Open

Hyundai Motor India has officially taken the wraps off the second-generation Hyundai Venue, revealing an all-new design, larger dimensions, and a tech-laden interior that marks a significant leap from its predecessor. Bookings for the new Venue are now open across Hyundai dealerships and online for a token amount of ₹25,000, ahead of its India launch on November 4, 2025.

A Bigger, Bolder, and Sharper Design

The new-generation Venue adopts Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy, resulting in a strikingly more mature and confident SUV stance.

Up front, the Venue now sports a quad-beam LED headlamp setup, twin-horn LED daytime running lights, and a rectangular dark chrome grille that integrates seamlessly with the full-width LED light bar across the bonnet. The sculpted bumper with silver skid plates, pronounced air inlets, and functional roof rails underline its rugged, SUV character.

From the side, sharper character lines, new 16-inch alloys, and a silver-accented C-pillar garnish give the Venue a more athletic presence. Around the back, a horizon-style connected LED tail lamp housed within a black panel adds visual width, complemented by the new in-glass VENUE emblem and muscular dual-tone bumper design.

In terms of size, the Venue is now 48mm taller and 30mm wider than before, measuring 3,995 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,665 mm in height, with a 2,520 mm wheelbase — translating to more cabin space and road presence.

Interior: Tech-Forward and Premium

Step inside, and the transformation is unmistakable. The 2026 Hyundai Venue features a dual 12.3-inch curved panoramic display — one for the digital instrument cluster and the other for infotainment — giving the cabin a distinctly futuristic appeal.

The dashboard gets a terrazzo-textured finish with a new H-shaped layout, metallic accents, and ambient lighting in Moon White, creating an upmarket, lounge-like atmosphere. The dual-tone Dark Navy and Dove Grey interior pairs with dual-tone leatherette seats featuring contrast stitching.

Key highlights include:

• Electric 4-way adjustable driver’s seat
• 2-step reclining rear seats
• Rear window sunshades
• Premium leather armrest and ambient lighting
• New D-cut steering wheel with illuminated “H” logo in Morse code
• Dual-zone climate control and rear AC vents
• Wireless charging and ventilated front seats
• 360-degree camera and front parking sensors

Hyundai has clearly pushed the Venue’s cabin experience upmarket, aiming to rival SUVs from a segment above.

Engines and Performance

Under the hood, the new Hyundai Venue continues with the proven engine lineup from the previous generation, offering both petrol and diesel options with multiple transmission choices.

Engine Options:

• 1.2L Kappa MPi petrol — 83 hp, manual gearbox
• 1.0L Turbo GDi petrol — 120 hp, available with 6-speed iMT and 7-speed DCT
• 1.5L U2 CRDi diesel — 100 hp, with both manual and newly added automatic options

This diverse lineup ensures that the Venue continues to appeal to a broad range of customers — from urban commuters to performance enthusiasts.

Variants, Colours, and Booking Details

Hyundai has introduced a new HX-based variant nomenclature, reflecting a lifestyle-oriented approach. The petrol trims include HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX6T, HX8, and HX10, while the diesel range spans HX2, HX5, HX7, and HX10.

The new Venue will be offered in six monotone and two dual-tone colour options, including Hazel Blue and Mystic Sapphire as new additions. Dual-tone choices such as Hazel Blue with Abyss Black roof and Atlas White with Abyss Black roof enhance personalization options.

Bookings are open for ₹25,000, both online and at authorised Hyundai dealerships across India with Carbae

Launch Timeline and Rivals

The official launch of the all-new Hyundai Venue is scheduled for November 4, 2025, with deliveries set to begin shortly thereafter. Once launched, it will continue to rival the Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Nissan Magnite, and Renault Kiger in the highly competitive compact SUV segment.

With over 7 lakh units sold since its debut, the Venue has been one of Hyundai’s biggest success stories in India. The new-generation model aims to strengthen that legacy — blending bold design, connected technology, and premium comfort to appeal to the evolving Indian buyer.

The new-generation Hyundai Venue represents a complete reinvention of one of India’s most popular SUVs. With its futuristic design, immersive tech interface, and enhanced space and comfort, it’s not just a facelift — it’s a statement of Hyundai’s vision for the compact SUV segment.

As bookings open and anticipation builds toward its launch, the all-new Venue is ready to redefine expectations once again.
