Introduction

The new Hyundai Venue has been spotted on Indian roads again, this time with a Creta-inspired interior and fresh exterior updates. The sub-compact SUV, one of Hyundai’s best selling cars, is gearing up for a next-gen launch with feature loaded upgrades and design changes.

Exterior Design Updates

Recent spy images reveal that the new Hyundai Venue seems to adopt Hyundai’s latest SUV design language.

• Squared split LED headlights with a wide rectangular grille, like Creta and Alcazar.
• Pronounced wheel arches and a boxier stance, making the Venue look more robust.
• Full-width front LED DRL bar expected to modernize the face.

These changes suggest Hyundai wants the Venue to look more premium, mini-Creta like.

Interior Overhaul

The cabin makeover is one of the most noticeable updates from the spy shots.

• Dual 10.25-inch curved displays, infotainment and driver’s cluster combined.
• Layered dashboard with sleek repositioned AC vents.
• New steering wheel design and premium features like auto-dimming IRVM.

This is similar to Creta and indicates Venue’s step up in technology and comfort.

• Level 2 ADAS for advanced driver assistance.
• Panoramic sunroof for the first time in this segment.
• Ventilated front seats and 360-degree camera.
