Hyundai
Hyundai is gearing up to introduce the updated version of its popular compact SUV, the Venue, in 2025. Since its launch in 2019, the Venue has been a strong performer in the Indian and global markets, known for its modern design, feature-rich interior, and competitive pricing. With the facelift version expected to launch soon in 2025, Hyundai aims to further strengthen its position in the sub compact SUV segment.
Fresh Design Changes
The 2025 Hyundai Venue facelift is expected to feature several exterior updates that give the car a more premium and aggressive look. Spy shots and industry reports suggest a redesigned front grille, inspired by Hyundai’s global design language. The LED headlamps may also get a new shape, along with updated DRLs (daytime running lights).
At the rear, minor changes like tweaked tail lamps with LED elements, a revised bumper, and new alloy wheel designs are expected. These cosmetic updates will refresh the Venue’s road presence without deviating too far from its recognizable silhouette.
Updated Interior and Features
Inside, Hyundai is likely to offer improved materials and a more refined layout. The touchscreen infotainment system may see an upgrade in size and functionality, possibly with Hyundai’s latest connected car technology. Features like wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and an updated digital instrument cluster could be included in the top variants.
The Venue has always stood out for its feature loaded cabin, and the facelift is expected to build on that strength. Hyundai may also improve safety features, adding more airbags and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to keep up with increasing customer expectations.
Engine and Performance
The engine options are likely to remain similar to the current model. This includes the 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol, the 1.0L turbo-petrol, and the 1.5L diesel engine. However, Hyundai may tweak the engines slightly for improved fuel efficiency and better compliance with the latest emission norms.
Transmission choices, such as the 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 6-speed iMT, and 7-speed DCT (for the turbo-petrol), are expected to be carried forward.
Expected Launch and Price
Hyundai has not officially confirmed the launch date, but the Venue facelift is expected to hit the Indian market in the first half of 2025. Pricing is likely to see a slight increase, with the starting price estimated to be around ₹8 lakh (ex-showroom). Higher end variants could go up to ₹13 lakh, depending on features and engine choices.
The Hyundai Venue facelift will look to build upon the SUV’s already successful formula by offering enhanced design, better features, and more safety. With rising competition from Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, and others, the 2025 Venue update will play a crucial role in Hyundai’s compact SUV strategy.
Car buyers looking for a modern, tech loaded, and practical urban SUV should keep an eye on the launch of the new Venue in 2025.
