The Tata Nexon and Maruti Suzuki Brezza will face a new rival in 2025. This new competitor is Hyundai’s Venue SUV, which will receive a new generation update featuring a design language inspired by the Palisade, sold internationally.
New Generation Hyundai Venue: Exterior
Hyundai is set to unveil a new generation update to the Venue, incorporating a fresh design and styling cues inspired by the Palisade. The exterior will feature a Palisade-inspired front grille with a grey finish, vertically-positioned dual-functional LED DRLs, redesigned bumpers, and a radar module on the lower air intake grille for ADAS. While the side profile will retain its shape, it will sport newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels and black-finished roof rails. The rear profile will showcase new LED tail lamps and a flat design for the tailgate.
New Generation Hyundai Venue: Interior
Inside, the Venue is expected to mirror the new Creta with dual 10.25-inch displays—one for infotainment and the other for the digital cluster—a new steering wheel, an updated HVAC panel for automatic climate control, new dual-tone seat upholstery, and a panoramic sunroof.
New Generation Hyundai Venue: Engine Options
In terms of engine options, the Venue will offer two choices: a 1.2-liter NA petrol engine producing 81.80 BHP and 113 NM torque, paired with a 5-speed manual or an IVT gearbox, and a 1.5-liter diesel engine delivering 114 BHP and 250 NM torque, available with a 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox. Additionally, Hyundai may discontinue the 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine to keep it exclusive to the Venue N-Line.
New Generation Hyundai Venue: New Features
The new-generation Venue will also be equipped with several new features, including ventilated front seats, rear disc brakes, a 360-degree surround-view camera, front parking sensors, upgraded Level 2 ADAS, and more.
New Generation Hyundai Venue: Price, Launch, Rival
Upon its launch, the new-gen Venue will compete with models like the Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300, Maruti Brezza, Maruti Fronx, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite, and Renault Kiger. It is expected to be priced starting at Rs. 8 Lakhs.
