Next-Gen Hyundai Venue Officially Unveiled With Major Redesign, Bookings Now Open

Hyundai Motor India has officially unveiled the next-gen Venue, which will launch in India on November 4. Bookings have also been opened today, and interested buyers can register their interest with a deposit of ₹25,000 at authorised dealerships and on the company’s website.

The news comes shortly after the company published its first teaser on social media, confirming the all-new grille and headlights of the upcoming next-gen Venue. In addition to an all-new design, Hyundai Motor India has now confirmed that the refreshed subcompact SUV will be 30mm wider and 48mm taller than the outgoing model, with a longer wheelbase. The new dimensions come in at 3,995mm length,1,800mm width and 1,665mm height, with a 2,520mm wheelbase.

Targeted specifically at urban commuters, the 2025 Venue is designed to match other current-gen models in Hyundai’s Indian and international portfolios. The company is calling its symmetrical C-shaped DRLs “twin horn LED DRLs”, and also points out the refreshed model’s muscular wheel arch design, dark chrome grille, R16 diamond-cut alloy wheels, “rear horizon” LED taillamps, and bridge-type roof rails. 

Interiors and tech features

Hyundai has also disclosed new information about what buyers can expect on the inside of the next-gen Venue. Buyers will get a Dark Navy and Dove Grey dual-tone interior with a coffee-table centre console, and Moon White ambient lighting.

There’s a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch central infotainment display, designed into a single curved panoramic panel. Driver and passenger comforts include two-step reclining rear seats, an electric four-way adjustable driver’s seat, rear window sunshades, rear AC vents, and dual-tone leatherette seats. Scooped front seatbacks provide extra legroom for rear seat passengers.

The next-gen Hyundai Venue will be available with three engine options: Kappa 1.2 MPi petrol, Kappa 1.0 Turbo GDi petrol, and U2 1.5 CRDi diesel, with either manual, automatic, or Dual-Clutch transmission (DCT).

The company is introducing a new naming scheme for variants, with a simplified numerical progression indicating variant level.
