Hyundai has officially launched the second-generation Venue in India on November 4, 2025. This significant update comes over six years after the compact SUV's initial introduction to the Indian market, bringing a host of enhancements to its design and feature set. The new Venue is positioned to reinforce Hyundai's presence in the highly competitive sub-4 meter SUV segment, which continues to be a major volume driver in the country.
The redesigned Venue boasts a sharper, more angular exterior and a significantly more upscale interior. Key interior upgrades include a revamped dashboard, a new steering wheel, dual 12.3-inch display screens, white ambient lighting, and ventilated front seats. For enhanced safety and convenience, the 2025 Venue integrates Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), a 360-degree camera, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Under the hood, the new model retains the existing 1.2-litre petrol, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel engine options. Notably, the diesel variant now offers a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, akin to the Kia Sonet. These updates aim to keep the Venue competitive against rivals such as the Maruti Brezza and Tata Nexon, solidifying its position as a preferred choice for urban commuters and families.
