The all-new second-generation Hyundai Venue is
set to be launched in India on 4 November 2025, and it brings a major
upgrade over the outgoing version that’s been in the market since 2019.
According to multiple sources, the expected starting ex-showroom price is
around ₹ 8 lakh. With bookings
already open for ₹ 25,000, the new Venue is catching plenty of attention ahead
of launch.
What’s New
in Size & Design
One of the big changes is size. The new Venue
now measures 3,995 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,665
mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,520 mm. These figures show
growth: it’s 20 mm longer in wheelbase, 30 mm wider and 48 mm taller than the
outgoing model. The wider stance and longer base help it feel more grown up.
Design-wise the SUV features a dark chrome radiator grille, quad-beam LED
headlamps, twin-horn LED DRLs, bridge-type roof rails, and a sculpted body with
strong character lines. Another neat touch: an in-glass “VENUE” emblem on the
C-pillar garnish. All this adds up to a premium and bold look.
Interior
& Technology Upgrades
Inside, the new Venue adopts an
“H-architecture” cabin design, with dual-tone Dark Navy and Dove Grey
upholstery, and leatherette surfaces. A standout feature is the 12.3-inch +
12.3-inch curved panoramic display that integrates infotainment and digital
instrumentation. It also supports a high degree of connectivity: more than 70
connected-car functions and over 400 voice commands in five languages (Hindi,
English, Hinglish, Bengali and Tamil).
Other comfort and tech highlights include two-step reclining rear seats, rear
AC vents, rear window sun-shades, electric four-way adjustable driver seat,
ambient lighting in “Moon White”, and premium audio from Bose (eight-speaker).
In short: the new Venue raises the bar for compact SUVs in India.
Engines,
Drives & Variant Details
Under the hood, Hyundai continues with
familiar engine options but offers more flexibility:
A 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol (83
PS/114 Nm) with 5-speed manual.
A 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (120 PS/172 Nm) with
6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT automatic.
A 1.5-litre diesel (116 PS/250 Nm) with
6-speed manual or newly introduced 6-speed automatic. In addition, the new Venue offers
drive/traction modes such as Sand, Mud, Snow, and drive modes like Eco, Normal
and Sport. These features enhance versatility especially for Indian roads.
Pricing
& Launch Plans
As mentioned, the expected starting
ex-showroom price is around ₹ 8 lakh for the base variant. Bookings are already open with a token amount
of ₹ 25,000. The full price list will be revealed at launch
on 4 November 2025. Given the upgrades, the new Venue may command a premium
over the outgoing model but Hyundai seems to be positioning it strongly in the
compact SUV market.
How It
Stacks Up & Why It Matters
The compact-SUV segment in India is fiercely
competitive: rivals include the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet,
Mahindra XUV 3XO and Skoda Kylaq. The new Venue’s bigger size, premium cabin,
advanced tech and multiple engine choices mean it is strongly positioned to
challenge these competitors.
For buyers, it means more choice and more value. The features being
offered—large dual screens, connected-car tech, premium materials were often
reserved for higher segments. Hyundai’s aim appears to be to upgrade
expectations in this class.
Things to
Note Before You Buy
While the base pricing is expected at ~₹ 8
lakh, higher variants with turbo, automatic, premium tech will cost more—check
variant pricing once revealed.
The features are tech-rich; but after-sales
support, service network and variant availability matter; Hyundai already has
strong presence in India.
For buyers who value comfort, tech and brand
value, the new Venue is appealing—but always compare against rivals on safety,
performance and resale value.
Wait for full reviews and road tests once the
car launches to validate claims like ride quality, space and real-world
usability of features.
Conclusion
The 2025 Hyundai Venue marks a fresh chapter
for Hyundai in India’s compact-SUV market. With its larger dimensions, bold
design, high-tech cabin and flexible engine/variant options, it looks primed to
raise the bar for competitors. If the starting price around ₹ 8 lakh holds
true, it presents compelling value. For buyers looking for a modern,
feature-rich SUV that doesn’t stretch into luxury-SUV territory, the new Venue
could be a strong choice. The official launch on 4 November 2025 will be the
moment to see final pricing and book your pick.
