The Hyundai Venue, first introduced in 2019, is preparing for a full model generation update. According to a recent leak, the next-gen 2025 Venue is set to launch in India on October 24, 2025. With the launch date approaching, Hyundai dealerships are expected to begin unofficial bookings by the end of this month.
Spy shots reveal a large grille with rectangular patterns, vertically-stacked LED headlights, and connected LED DRLs. On the sides, while the silhouette remains familiar, updates like new ORVMs with integrated turn signals, chunky cladding, and fresh dual-tone alloy wheels enhance its SUV appeal.
The 2025 Venue is expected to see a significant boost in features. Hyundai is likely to equip it with a larger touchscreen infotainment system supporting wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, a fully digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, and Level-2 ADAS.
The powertrain lineup for the new Venue is expected to remain the same. It will likely continue with the 1.2-litre petrol (83PS, 5-speed manual), the 1.0-litre turbo petrol (120PS, with 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT), and the 1.5-litre diesel (6-speed manual). However, Hyundai might offer an automatic transmission option for the diesel variant this time around.
Once launched, the next-gen Hyundai Venue will continue to take on other popular sub-compact SUVs in India. Key rivals will include the Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Maruti Brezza, all of which offer strong features and road presence in the highly competitive segment.
