We take a close look at the sales performance of the second-gen Venue over the past 12 months.

Hyundai launched the second-generation of the Venue SUV on November 4, 2026. With the generational update, the brand’s compact SUV shifted from the previous K2 to a more advanced K1 platform with an updated E/E architecture. Additionally, it also received a boxier exterior and it grew larger in size, leading to a more spacious cabin. Inside, the tech suite of the Venue was heavily bolstered, with dual curved 12.3-inch displays powered by NVIDIA, level 2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, and other features like ventilated front seats, powered driver seat, and rear sunshades brought in more convenience.

The second-gen Hyundai Venue is currently priced between Rs 8 lakh and goes all the way up to Rs 15.67 lakh. Within a year on sale, prices across variants have increased. In March 2026, select variants of the Hyundai Venue were hiked by up to Rs 20,000. Additionally, rising input and commodity costs, higher operational expenses and continuing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties have led Hyundai to increase prices across its lineup by three times in 2026, which has impacted the Venue as well.

Hyundai Venue second-gen milestones 

In January 2026,  Hyundai introduced a new HX5+ trim for the Venue. It slots above the HX5 trim and is sold only with a naturally aspirated petrol engine. At a premium of Rs 85,000 over the HX5, it got features like rear sunshades, wireless charging pad, a one-touch up/down function for the driver side window quad-beam LED headlights, roof rails, and a rear wiper and washer. At the time, the existing HX4 trim saw the addition of a height adjustable driver seat. In March 2026, the diesel-automatic powertrain combo was offered on the second-from-top HX8 trim. It was an affordable yet decently equipped option for buyers looking to get a diesel-automatic Venue. 

Like other Hyundai models, the Venue too got a Knight edition of its own in April 2026, with several cosmetic changes over the standard model. The Venue Knight edition was offered only on select trims like the HX5, HX6T, HX8 and HX10. At the same time, a factory-fitted dashcam was added to the existing HX6T, HX10 and N-Line N10 trims. On the other hand, the 1.2 HX6 variant has been discontinued.

Within its first year in the market, the second-gen Venue has not been subjected to a recall by Hyundai.
