2025 Hyundai Venue features Leaked info shows what’s coming – just days before its November 4 reveal. Before it hits showrooms, specs on trims, tech, and engine choices popped up online. The next-gen model’s pushing a classier vibe into Hyundai’s compact SUV range, thanks to a fresh look, extra size, better cabin quality, along with smarter features no matter which version you pick.
New Design and Exterior Highlights
The 2025 Venue sticks with Hyundai’s newest styling, just like on the Creta and Alcazar – bold front, sharp edges. Instead of a small grill, it’s got a big rectangular one lined with dark chrome bits. On each side, you’ll find quad-beam LED headlights giving it extra punch. Above that, a stretched LED strip runs across, linking both sides for a standout glow. Then down below, a wide silver skid plate boosts how tough it looks on the street.
On the side, there’s fresh 16-inch alloy wheels styled after aerodynamics, along with roof rails, door handles in chrome, while the C-pillar gets a silver piece that holds the ‘Venue’ badge. Out back, things stay simple – LED taillights stretch across, teaming up with a fake silver skid plate that echoes the front end. Oddly enough, the reverse lights moved down to the bottom edge of that rear skid plate, just to keep the look tidy.
Still, the HX 5 model leaves out a few of those features – instead, you get halogen projector headlamps, steel rims covered by hubcaps, alongside door handles painted to match the body rather than shiny trim. Up front, the linked lighting element is swapped out for a fake white line so it stands apart.
Interior and Comfort Features
Inside, the Venue blends style with everyday usability. The high-spec HX 10 model features a two-tone interior in Blue Navy paired with Dove Grey, using synthetic leather, touch-friendly surfaces, while the dash includes a patterned panel inspired by terrazzo stone. What stands out is the twin 12.3-inch curved screen unit – merging gauges and infotainment – that works alongside an 8-speaker Bose audio setup plus mood lighting.
The HX 5 trim isn’t packed out but still throws in essentials – like a 12.3-inch touchscreen, beige-and-grey two-tone seats, basic AC plus airflow to back passengers, a half-digital gauge setup, phone mirroring via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, along with buttons right on the steering wheel.
Honda tweaked the cabin room by stretching the distance between wheels – now 20mm longer – and making it wider by an extra 30mm, so backseat riders get more legroom. Since there’s more space, people at the back get to enjoy separate air vents, pull-down shades for side windows, yet can lean back in two different angles thanks to a new recline feature.
Safety and Technology Upgrades
Safety’s a big deal on the new Venue. Higher trims pack Level 2 ADAS along with six airbags, disc brakes on every wheel, ESC, hill hold, parking sensors front and rear, or even a full-surround camera setup.
Even the HX 5 trim comes with six airbags, ABS, ESC, a rear parking camera, but disc brakes all around are standard. What’s left out compared to the HX 10? Front parking sensors, ADAS, plus traction control.
A fresh key shaped like Hyundai’s logo – featuring remote unlock plus tailgate release – is on the way; meanwhile, the HX 5 model should come with this upgraded key style too.
Powertrain Options and Transmission
The 2025 Hyundai Venue keeps giving folks a few engine picks, so you can go with petrol, turbo-petrol, or diesel – depends on what fits your drive. Only the HX 5 trim lets you mix and match any of those three engine types.
Engine Options:
- 1.2-litre Petrol: 83 PS, 114 Nm, 5-speed MT
- 1.0-litre Turbo-Petrol: 120 PS, 172 Nm, 6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT
- 1.5-litre Diesel: 116 PS, 250 Nm, 6-speed MT / 6-speed AT
Hyundai’s fresh automatic gearbox, made for diesel motors, brings softer shifts while boosting fuel economy when cruising through town or hitting the open road.
Variants and Classification
The new Venue’s getting eight petrol versions along with four diesel ones, using Hyundai’s latest letter-number naming approach:
Petrol: HX 2, HX 4, HX 5, HX 6, HX 6T, HX 8, HX 10
Diesel: HX 2, HX 5, HX 7, HX 10
This broad range means shoppers pick what fits their cash and needs – whether it’s the no-frills HX 2 or the packed HX 10.
Launch, Price and Rivals
The big debut’s set for November 4, while price tags should hover from ₹8 lakh up to ₹14 lakh (ex-showroom). Instead, this compact SUV will go head-to-head with models like the Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Skoda Kylaq, Nissan Magnite, or even the Renault Kiger.
Final Take
The 2025 Hyundai Venue shows how far Hyundai’s come in the small SUV game – crisper looks meet smoother cabin finishes, while updated tech stacks pile on appeal; different engine picks suit varied driving needs, whether dodging city traffic or cruising open roads. Inside, sleek curves pop on display screens, safety aids work quietly behind the scenes, plus that redesigned key adds flair – giving it an edge over rivals without piling on fluff.
