2025 Hyundai Venue First Look Revealed
The wait for the next-generation Hyundai Venue is nearly over. Hyundai has officially teased the 2025 Venue ahead of its November launch in India. This marks the first major generation update for the compact SUV since its debut in 2019.
The short teaser video reveals fresh design details, confirming that the upcoming Venue will receive several premium upgrades in styling, features, and technology.
Bolder Exterior with Refined Styling
From the teaser, the new Venue sports a rectangular chrome-finished grille, a split lighting setup, and quad-LED projector headlamps. The connected LED DRL strip runs across the fascia and curves down the bumper in a C-shaped pattern.
A chunky silver skid plate adds to its bold stance and also houses a radar module for Level-2 ADAS functions. Unlike the global model with an all-black grille, the India-spec Venue gets chrome inserts for a more premium appeal.
Sporty Side and Rear Design
Spy shots and leaked images reveal several updates at the rear. The connected LED taillamps come with 3-piece lighting elements, and the ‘Venue’ badging is now more prominent on the tailgate. The design also includes roof rails, aerodynamic alloy wheels, and muscular wheel arches that enhance its SUV character.
The C-pillar’s silver insert, reminiscent of the larger Hyundai Creta, adds a stylish contrast to the overall design.
New Cabin Layout and Premium Interiors
Although Hyundai hasn’t officially revealed the new Venue’s interior, spy images suggest a significant cabin redesign. Expect dual-tone themes, a new 3-spoke steering wheel, a modern climate control panel, and sleek central AC vents.
The 2025 Venue will feature dual 12.3-inch displays—one for the digital instrument cluster and another for the infotainment system—making it more advanced than the Creta, which uses 10.25-inch screens.
Feature-Loaded Cabin for a Premium Experience
The 2025 Hyundai Venue will raise the bar in the sub-4m SUV segment with features such as:
- Panoramic sunroof
- Ventilated front seats
- Power-adjustable co-driver seat
- Wireless phone charging
- 360-degree camera
- Multi-color ambient lighting
These updates position the new Venue as a more premium and feature-rich SUV compared to its current version.
Level-2 ADAS and Enhanced Safety
Safety has also been a focus area for Hyundai. The 2025 Venue will include Level-2 ADAS features such as:
- Forward collision warning
- Lane-keeping assist
- Adaptive cruise control
- Blind-spot monitoring
In addition, it is expected to come with six airbags (standard), front parking sensors, and an electronic parking brake with auto hold—features that align with Hyundai’s latest global safety standards.
Engine Options and Performance
The upcoming Venue will likely retain the same engine lineup as the outgoing model, ensuring a balance of power and efficiency.
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2-litre Petrol | 83 PS | 114 Nm | 5-speed MT |
| 1.0-litre Turbo-petrol | 120 PS | 172 Nm | 6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT |
| 1.5-litre Diesel | 116 PS | 250 Nm | 6-speed MT / 6-speed AT (expected) |
Hyundai may also introduce the 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox for the diesel variant, similar to what’s offered in the Kia Sonet, to widen its appeal.
Expected Price and Competition
The 2025 Hyundai Venue is expected to be priced between ₹8 lakh and ₹14 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will compete with:
- Maruti Brezza
- Kia Sonet
- Mahindra XUV 3XO
- Renault Kiger
- Maruti Fronx
- Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor
- Skoda Klyaq
Launch Timeline and Market Expectations
Hyundai is expected to officially unveil the new Venue in November 2025, with deliveries starting soon after. The SUV’s modern design, upgraded technology, and advanced safety suite are likely to attract both existing Hyundai buyers and new customers looking for a premium compact SUV.
Conclusion
With its bold design, feature-loaded cabin, and enhanced safety features, the 2025 Hyundai Venue is shaping up to be one of the most significant SUV launches of the year. It blends style, comfort, and cutting-edge tech, making it a strong contender in India’s competitive compact SUV market.
