The wait is almost over. Hyundai has confirmed that the next-gen 2025 Hyundai Venue will break cover in India on October 24. This will be the SUV’s first complete model overhaul since its debut in 2019, and the changes go far beyond a simple facelift. Expect fresh styling, a richer cabin, and smarter safety tech aimed at keeping it ahead in the compact SUV race.

Sharper, SUV-Like Presence

Codenamed QU2i, the new Venue borrows its styling inspiration from Hyundai’s bigger SUVs such as the Creta. The front will get a bolder rectangular grille, a split-headlamp arrangement, and a full-width LED DRL strip for a more modern face. At the rear, slimmer connected LED tail-lights, a sharper roof spoiler, and chunkier wheel arch cladding add to its SUV stance. Higher trims will also get new 16-inch diamond-cut alloys, adding to its road presence.

Cabin Gets an Upgrade

The cabin of the 2025 Hyundai Venue is set to receive a noticeable upgrade in quality and design. A new digital instrument cluster, a bigger and faster infotainment screen, and a cleaner dashboard design should make the interior more inviting. Premium touches like a panoramic sunroof and ventilated front seats are likely to be reserved for the top variants, giving the Venue an edge over direct rivals.

Safety Tech Moves Up a Level

Hyundai is also stepping up the safety game. The current model’s Level 1 ADAS will reportedly be replaced by a Level 2 ADAS suite, adding features like front parking sensors and extra camera modules. That means better assistance in traffic and more confidence on long drives.

Engines You Already Trust

While the looks and features change, the tried-and-tested engine range is expected to continue:

• 1.2-litre petrol with 5-speed manual
• 1.0-litre turbo-petrol with 6-speed iMT or 7-speed DCT
• 1.5-litre diesel with 6-speed manual

Price and Rivals

A small price bump over the current model is likely, but the list of new features should make it worth it.When it arrives in showrooms, the 2025 Hyundai Venue will renew its rivalry with popular compact SUVs such as the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, and Mahindra XUV 3XO.
