Hyundai working on a complete revamp for its Tata Nexon-rivaling sub-4 metre SUV well on time to keep it fresh and competitive in the market
The Hyundai Venue turned six years old last month, and in line with global product enhancement standards, it is set to be replaced by a new generation model soon. The next-gen Hyundai Venue is coming to Indian showrooms around the festive season this year, and it’ll pack some big changes.
Although it’ll be a new-generation model, the upcoming Venue could be based on the same platform as the current one, helping Hyundai keep development costs in check. Spy shots have revealed a familiar shape and character, albeit with new design bits all around.
The second-gen Hyundai Venue will flaunt a much more prominent front-end than the current model. The new look at the front will be inspired by the second-gen Hyundai Palisade, the brand’s flagship SUV that is said to be launched in India in 2028. Vertical headlamps with C-shaped DRLs and a massive radiator grille with a chain-like pattern will give it a more aggressive and dominating appearance.

On the sides, the next-gen Hyundai Venue will feature raised roof rails, sleeker mirrors, a straighter belt line, larger rear windows, and new 16-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, it will have new horizontal combination lamps with technical-looking three-point tail lights. Expect a more upmarket interior with a sleeker dashboard, larger displays, a new steering wheel, improved upholstery and decor elements, and a more ergonomic centre console. A panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats are likely to be offered in select grades.
The next-gen Venue might be based on the same platform but it could have enhanced structural reinforcements for improved safety. It should be available with a long list of Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems, a 360º camera system, and front and rear parking sensors to mitigate collisions. Six airbags will be part of the standard equipment in all the grades.

Hyundai should offer the next-gen Venue with the same 1.2-litre MPi petrol, 1.0-litre TGDi petrol, and 1.5-litre CRDi VGT diesel engines as the current model. Similarly, the 1.2-litre petrol engine will likely be paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the 1.0-litre petrol engine with a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and the 1.5-litre diesel engine with a 6-speed manual transmission.
