The Next Big Upgrade: Hyundai Venue 2025 Is Almost Here
Hyundai has finally revealed official details about the next-generation 2025 Venue, one of India’s most popular compact SUVs. Set to be launched on November 4, 2025, the new Venue promises a complete transformation in design, technology, and safety while continuing its made-in-India success story.
The new Venue will also be manufactured at Hyundai’s Talegaon plant, strengthening the company’s local production strategy and expanding capacity to meet growing demand in India’s subcompact SUV segment.
Design: Familiar Form, Bold New Attitude
The 2025 Hyundai Venue follows the brand’s latest Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy, which has already been seen on models like the Exter and Alcazar. While the outgoing model was known for its compact proportions, the new Venue grows sharper, tougher, and more premium.
Front Design: Muscular and Distinct
At the front, the SUV sports a rectangular parametric grille, flanked by vertically stacked LED headlamps. The C-shaped LED DRLs lend it a distinct lighting signature that makes it instantly recognizable on the road.
The large bumper and squared-off design add visual weight, while the silver skid plate gives it a rugged SUV appeal.
Side Profile: Stronger Stance
The side profile retains the Venue’s compact proportions but with more sculpted lines. Key highlights include:
- New dual-tone alloy wheel design
- Flared fenders with black cladding
- Body-coloured insert on the C-pillar
- Tall roof rails and flat bonnet
These elements together give the 2025 Venue a sportier and more planted stance, while still retaining its urban-friendly dimensions.
Rear Design: Connected and Confident
At the rear, a connected LED taillight bar stretches across the hatch, mirroring Hyundai’s global design trend. The rear bumper now features a chunky faux skid plate, C-shaped reflectors, and a slightly compact tailgate for better proportion balance.
The result is a Venue that feels more mature, premium, and contemporary from every angle.
Interior: Premium Tech Takes Center Stage
While the leaked images have already hinted at major interior upgrades, Hyundai has now confirmed several premium inclusions.
Dual 12.3-Inch Screens
The highlight of the cabin is the twin 12.3-inch digital displays — one for the infotainment touchscreen and the other for the fully digital instrument cluster. These high-resolution panels will feature Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates, ensuring the infotainment system and navigation stay up-to-date.
This layout gives the Venue’s cabin a modern, minimalist vibe similar to Hyundai’s global models like the Tucson and Kona.
New Touch Controls and Steering Design
The 2025 Venue introduces a touch-based climate control panel that replaces the conventional knobs, adding a futuristic touch. There’s also a new steering wheel design — unique to this model — with integrated controls for drive modes, audio, and ADAS functions.
The dashboard features soft-touch materials, ambient lighting, and a floating center console for a cleaner aesthetic.
Feature List: More Tech, More Luxury
The new Venue doesn’t just look premium — it feels premium. Hyundai has confirmed a wide list of creature comforts that will make the 2025 model the most feature-rich Venue yet.
Confirmed and Expected Features
- Dual 12.3-inch screens (Infotainment + Instrument Cluster)
- Over-the-Air (OTA) updates
- Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System)
- Powered and ventilated front seats

- Ambient interior lighting
- Premium Bose sound system

- Touch-based HVAC controls
- 360-degree camera system
- Keyless entry and push-button start
Safety has also been given priority, with Hyundai confirming a stronger body structure that could target a 5-star crash test rating under the Bharat NCAP framework.
The inclusion of Level 2 ADAS is a massive leap forward, making the Venue one of the most technologically advanced SUVs in its class.
Engines & Performance: Proven Powertrains, Refined Delivery
Under the hood, Hyundai continues with its tried-and-tested engine lineup, ensuring reliability while refining performance and efficiency.

What’s New?
While the engines themselves remain familiar, expect updated tuning for smoother throttle response and better fuel efficiency.
The 1.0L turbo-petrol with DCT will continue to serve driving enthusiasts, while the 1.5L diesel remains a strong choice for long-distance commuters.
Hyundai may also introduce idle start-stop technology and improved NVH insulation, enhancing both economy and refinement.
ADAS and Safety: Smarter, Safer, Stronger
The 2025 Venue is taking a bold step forward with Level 2 ADAS, bringing safety features once limited to high-end SUVs into the compact SUV segment.
Expected ADAS Features Include:
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
- Blind Spot Collision Avoidance (BCA)
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
- Adaptive High Beam

Combined with six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), and a reinforced body shell, the new Venue sets a new standard for safety among its peers.
Manufacturing and Localization: Made at Talegaon
Hyundai has confirmed that the 2025 Venue will be produced at its Talegaon plant in Maharashtra, which was recently acquired to expand production capacity.
This move aligns with Hyundai’s “Make in India, Make for the World” strategy, ensuring:
- Better supply chain integration
- Faster production scalability
- Potential exports to global markets
The Talegaon facility is expected to become a key hub for Hyundai’s compact SUVs and electric vehicles in the coming years.

| Variant | Expected Price (Ex-Showroom) |
| Base (1.2L Petrol) | ₹8.00 lakh |
| Turbo Petrol (DCT) | ₹12.50 lakh |
| Diesel Top Trim | ₹14.00 lakh |
Hyundai will continue to offer multiple trim levels to cater to both budget buyers and premium customers.
Competition Check
Once launched, the 2025 Venue will take on several strong rivals in the subcompact SUV segment, including:
- Tata Nexon
- Maruti Brezza
- Mahindra XUV 3XO
- Skoda Kylaq
- Renault Duster (upcoming)
While each competitor brings unique strengths, Hyundai’s combination of design, technology, and safety gives the Venue a competitive edge.
