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.
