Hyundai Venue has gone full-model change for 2025 — and it’s arrived in India with a starting price of ₹7.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The new-gen Venue brings a sharper exterior, a significantly upgraded cabin with twin 12.3-inch curved displays, Level 2 ADAS, and a refined feature set while retaining the same engine options buyers know. This article breaks down the changes, tech, pricing structure, and what it means for buyers.
New 2025 Hyundai Venue – Key design & dimension changes
The Hyundai Venue 2025 wears an all-new face. Highlights:
- Front fascia: Broader dark-chrome grille, split headlamp layout and C-shaped LED DRLs for a more aggressive stance.
- Rear: Connected LED light bar and redesigned bumper for a modern look.
- Profile: Bridge-type roof rails, reworked C-pillar with in-glass “Venue” branding and fresh 16-inch diamond-cut alloys.
- Bigger footprint: Now 3,995 mm long, 1,800 mm wide, 1,665 mm tall with a 2,520 mm wheelbase — noticeably wider and taller than the outgoing model, improving interior space and presence on the road.
Cabin, tech & safety upgrades
The cabin is where the Hyundai Venue 2025 really levels up:
- Twin 12.3-inch curved panoramic displays merge the instrument cluster and infotainment — wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay supported.
- Premium finishes: Navy + dove grey dual tone, Moon White ambient lighting, leatherette seats, ventilated front seats, and a redesigned centre console for a more upmarket feel.
- Comfort & utility: 4-way power driver seat, 2-step reclining rear seats, rear AC vents and sunshades for rear passengers.
- Unique touches: New steering wheel with four illuminated dots (a Morse-style nod to the ‘H’ logo).
- Software & updates: Over-the-air (OTA) support for 20+ vehicle functions.
- Safety tech: Level 2 ADAS with up to 16 ADAS features, plus a claimed 65 safety features overall (33 standard). The structure uses 71% high-strength steel for body rigidity.
Engines, transmissions & drivetrains
Hyundai has retained the existing engine lineup but added an automatic for diesel buyers:
- 1.2-litre NA petrol: ~83 hp & 114 Nm — 5-speed manual.
- 1.0-litre turbo petrol: ~120 hp & 172 Nm — 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT).
- 1.5-litre diesel: ~116 hp & 250 Nm — now available with manual and a new automatic transmission option.
This strategy keeps proven powertrains while broadening appeal with extra gearbox choices — especially useful in urban and highway mixes.
Trim structure, pricing & colours
Hyundai has introduced a fresh naming scheme: HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX7, HX8, HX10 (petrol & diesel ranges mostly align). Introductory pricing starts at ₹7.90 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant; Hyundai will phase out prices for remaining trims in due course.
Colour options: six single-tone and two dual-tone schemes, with new shades like Hazel Blue and Mystic Sapphire; dual-tone pairings include Hazel Blue or Atlas White with Abyss Black roof.
Who should consider the new Venue?
- Tech-first buyers: If you prioritise modern displays, ADAS and OTA updates, the Venue is compelling.
- Urban families: Taller dimensions and a longer wheelbase mean improved cabin space and comfort for daily commutes and weekend trips.
- Value seekers: The Venue’s price bracket and level of features aim to offer premium technology without stepping into higher SUV price tiers.
The Hyundai Venue 2025 is a major reboot — one that moves the compact SUV into a more premium, tech-driven space. With retained engine reliability, new gearbox choices (notably for diesel), Level 2 ADAS, and a cabin that feels a class up, the Venue looks positioned to stay competitive in India’s hot compact-SUV segment. Early buyers will get the tech advantage; remaining buyers should watch for variant-wise pricing and feature distribution.
