The new-gen sub-4m SUV is around the corner and the New-Gen Hyundai Venue is shaping up to be a design and tech upgrade without messing with the powertrain mix. Here’s why it matters: a fresher, boxier design outside and a dual-screen layout inside will keep Venue in the consideration set as rivals add features fast.

Design: boxier and bolder

Expect a squarer stance with split LED lights and a rectangular grille like the Alcazar, chunkier wheel arches and new alloys to emphasize the SUV look. The front and rear are being reworked, with connected tail lamps likely to continue in an updated design for a wider visual stance. Concrete timing is October 24, 2025, in the festive window.

Cabin tech: dual screens take centre stage

Inside, a dual-screen setup is expected with 10.2-12.3-inch class displays for infotainment and the driver’s cluster, a modern Creta-like cockpit feel. Feature additions tipped include 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, ambient lighting and potentially a panoramic sunroof to match segment trends, while ADAS upgrades are expected over the current Level 1 suite.

Engines: familiar, proven choices

Hyundai will likely carry over the current three: 1.2 NA petrol, 1.0 turbo-petrol and 1.5 diesel, with manual, iMT/DCT and diesel MT/AT options depending on variant. That will preserve day-to-day drivability and ownership costs, with any tuning tweaks focused on refinement and efficiency. Expect the same variant mix and transmissions, with entry pricing remaining approachable.

ADAS and safety: stepping up

Today’s Venue has Level 1 ADAS features like FCW, FCA (car/ped/cycle), LKA/LFA, HBA, DAW, LVDA and the next-gen model will build on that. Look for added features like front parking sensors and wider camera coverage, as urban safety tech is in demand in compact SUVs. 360-degree camera and six airbags will be the headline items in higher variants.

Price and rivals: slight move up

With all the features, pricing could move above the current ₹7.94-13.6 lakh range, with an expected starting price of ₹8 lakh ex-showroom once bookings open. Core rivals are the Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon and Maruti Brezza where screen size, ADAS and sunroof are the deciding factors for buyers.

Conclusion

If Hyundai delivers the dual-screen cabin, wider ADAS and cleaner surfacing as expected, the New-Gen Hyundai Venue will feel more premium without losing the everyday usability that made it a hit.
