What’s new at a glance?

Second-gen Hyundai Venue with a fresh, sharper design with

• Twin 12.3-inch curved infotainment displays inside

• Petrol and diesel options continue, with multiple gearbox choices

• Seven trims introduced: HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX7, HX8, HX10

• Bookings live at ₹25,000; launch on November 4

Exterior: Bolder, Wider stance with full-Width Lighting

The new Hyundai Venue looks more assertive from every angle. Up front, an edge-to-edge LED light bar flows into a quad-beam LED headlamp cluster, framed by a wider rectangular grille and a muscular, silver-finished bumper.

Hyundai has leaned into SUV cues with chunky cladding and a sculpted bonnet that should appeal to buyers who like their compact cars to look purposeful.

In profile, you’ll notice stronger character lines over the wheel arches, generous side cladding, a new rear quarter glass, and a blacked-out C-pillar with a neat silver garnish that spells out the name.

Fresh 16-inch alloy designs complete the look. At the rear, a full-width LED light bar and dual-tone bumper echo the front, with L-shaped reflectors adding detail. Think of it as a baby Tucson vibe, which is exactly what many hyundai venue teaser watchers hoped for after the hyundai venue spied photos started doing the rounds.

Dimensions: marginally larger, roomier cabin

The new Venue measures 3,995 mm long, 1,800 mm wide, and 1,665 mm tall. It’s 30 mm wider and 48 mm taller than before, and the wheelbase grows by 20 mm to 2,520 mm. That small stretch matters: it frees up second-row legroom and makes ingress/egress easier thanks to wider-opening doors.

Interior: twin 12.3-inch curved screens and thoughtful ergonomics

Inside, the big headline is the dual 12.3-inch curved display setup. It looks premium and gives the venue a tech-forward feel that’s rare in the segment. Thankfully, Hyundai has kept real buttons and dials for the HVAC and media, so everyday tasks are simple and safe to use on the move.

The steering wheel swaps the traditional logo for four illuminated dots representing “H” in Morse code, a playful nod you might remember from Hyundai’s Ioniq design language.

The dashboard wears a dual-tone dark navy and grey theme, with an H-shaped center panel and textured finish. Ambient lighting subtly highlights the dash and console. The redesigned center console now houses toggles for ventilated seats, parking camera, electronic parking brake, and the new drive and traction modes.

Hyundai has clearly listened to owners who wanted premium features without sacrificing usability.

Features: comfort in the second row, convenience up front

Hyundai has added a two-step recline for the rear bench, rear sunshades, new two-tone leatherette upholstery, and front parking sensors. The longer wheelbase adds knee room, and the wide-opening doors make life easier for families. It’s the sort of everyday convenience that helps the hyundai experience feel upmarket without overwhelming you with gimmicks.

• Powertrains: familiar line-up, smarter mix of gearboxes

• Mechanically, the Hyundai Venue continues with three engines:

• 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (120 hp)

• 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol (83 hp)

• 1.5-litre diesel (100 hp)

The base NA petrol is expected with a manual gearbox, while the turbo-petrol adds a 7-speed DCT option. A key update is the expected availability of a torque-converter automatic with the diesel, widening the Venue’s appeal for city buyers who want efficiency without the clutch.

Variants and bookings: seven trims, early mover advantage

Hyundai introduces a clearer trim walk: HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX7, HX8, and HX10. With bookings open at ₹25,000, early birds can lock in delivery priority before the price announcement.

If you’ve followed hyundai india launches, you know early allocations on popular colours and powertrains can run tight.

Should you wait for prices or book now?

If you’ve been tracking the hyundai venue teaser and liked what you saw in hyundai venue spied shots, this production reveal confirms the big upgrades: design, displays, comfort features, and wider auto gearbox coverage.

If you’re cross-shopping Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, or Mahindra XUV 3XO, the new Venue’s tech and interior polish could swing the decision, especially if you value an intuitive cabin and multiple powertrain choices.

Booking now makes sense if you’re set on the turbo-petrol DCT or the diesel automatic and want early delivery.
