The second-generation Hyundai Venue has been spied in India yet again, revealing more details of its fascia. Test mules of the upcoming compact SUV have also been spotted internationally, which shows the changes expected on the new model. Hyundai India will launch the new Venue in October 2025.

The next-generation Venue gets quad-LED headlamps, and connected DRLs (seen in another spy shot) similar to the Hyundai Creta SUV. Positioned below the headlamps are L-shaped LEDs, reminiscent of those seen on the first-generation Palisade facelift. Further, the blanked-off 'parametric' grille has been replaced with an open unit featuring rectangular slats.

Our April 2025 report on the new Hyundai SUV noted new front parking sensors and an ADAS module. While the current Venue offers Level 1 ADAS, the new model may be upgraded to a Level 2 system, similar to the Mahindra XUV 3XO. In profile, we noticed a new design for the 16-inch alloy wheels, thicker wheel arch cladding, all-four disc brakes (currently available only on the Venue N Line) and a flatter window line. Changes at the back comprise an extended roof spoiler, and mildly refreshed tail-lights and bumper.

Details about the new Venue’s cabin remain sparse, but we expect a redesigned dashboard design and more features, likely borrowed from the Hyundai Alcazar and Creta. These may include bigger displays for the infotainment and instrumentation, a panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats.

The soon-to-launch Hyundai Venue is expected to carry over the present model’s three engine options, including an 83hp 1.2-litre petrol, a 120hp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, and a 116hp 1.5-litre diesel. Petrol engines can be had with either a 5MT or 7DCT unit, while the diesel mill is paired to a sole 6MT. It remains to be seen if Hyundai will offer iMT and AT with respective petrol and diesel variants of the new Venue.
