2025 Hyundai Venue – New design, better features
With the new-gen Venue, Hyundai will completely change its design language and appearance. The test car, although heavily camouflaged, appears more boxy and upright in stance as compared to the current model.
The latest spy images were taken in South Korea, where the test car was spotted on a highway. Its new connected LED taillights are partially visible, which hints at a new outlook for the rear.
Moreover, the side profile also appears to be revamped in design as it gets a new glass area, new and bigger ORVMs, and machine-cut alloy wheels, which are identical to the bigger models like Creta and Verna.
Apart from the design, Hyundai will also offer a refreshed cabin design with a connected screen display and more features, including the likes of level 1 ADAS and advanced wireless functions.
Under the hood, the next-gen Venue will continue using the current engine and transmission options. These include a 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel, which are paired with a 5-speed MT, a 6-speed MT, and a 7-speed DCT gearbox options.
Hyundai is likely to launch the new Venue model in India later this year. The prices for the new model will be marginally higher than the current car.

Our conclusion
Due to the lack of major updates, Hyundai Venue sales have decreased over time. Its competitors have updated considerably in terms of features and technology offerings. The next-gen Venue will address all the shortcomings of the current model.
