Next-gen Hyundai Venue: what's new?

A newly surfaced spy shot of a next-gen Venue test mule shows off a few key differences compared to the current model. The familiar boxy design has been retained, but it looks a bit more upright and the tail-lamps are expected to sport an all-new design. The headlights and front grille will see significant revisions as well, bringing it in line with the current Creta and Alcazar.

Test mules of the new Venue spied internationally hint at a completely new fascia. 

Another area where the upcoming Hyundai Venue will be revamped is the interior, complete with a thoroughly redesigned dashboard. It could get new features like ventilated front seats and a 360-degree camera, which has become commonplace amongst rivals.

Next-gen Hyundai Venue: powertrain details

As per our previous reports, the next-gen Venue won't feature any major changes under the hood. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel engines of the current model are expected to be carried forward as is.

The current generation of the Hyundai Venue has been on sale since 2019 and was last updated with a facelift in 2022. Given that Hyundai model cycles typically span six years, an October 2025 launch would be appropriately timed for the next-gen model. Mass-production for the new Venue is expected to begin this year at Hyundai's Talegaon plant in Maharashtra.
