What Can You Expect From Upcoming From Upcoming Hyundai Venue Facelift?

The hype around the Hyundai Venue facelift has intensified since it was spotted in the production-ready version, revealing key details about this facelifted model that is set for launch in India soon. 

The front fascia of the new Venue is now bolder and more imposing than its predecessor. It features split headlamps within a prominent rectangular grille, with C-shaped LED DRLs integrated into the setup. The redesigned front bumper adds an aggressive look, complete with vertical functional air vents on either side to enhance airflow and aesthetics.

The overall front and rear styling draws clear inspiration from the Creta, while the sharp creases and lines on the side profile resemble the Exter. Its boxy stance includes flared wheel arches with black cladding, and the unique C-pillar gets silver accents - another design cue from the Creta. The Venue facelift gets new alloy wheels sporting a five-spoke design.

The major design highlight of this facelift is its rear end, sporting a rugged dual-tone bumper cladding and a sleek horizontal strip connecting the taillamps. Full LED lighting is expected across headlights, taillamps, and turn indicators, with higher variants potentially featuring sequential turn indicators for a premium appeal.

Detailed spyshots of the Venue facelift revealed a revamped dashboard layout inspired by the Creta, featuring an all-black theme for a sporty ambience. Major additions seen were a twin-screen setup with dual 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment system and digital instrument cluster, along with a new three-spoke steering wheel. Other changes likely include a new panel for climate control and a refreshed pattern for the upholstery. Expect a panoramic sunroof too, even though it was not visible in the spyshots. 

Features like a wireless charger, push-button start, keyless entry, an eight-speaker Bose audio system, a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, and powered driver seat adjustments are expected to be carried over from the existing model.

On the safety front, the Venue facelift is expected to get Level 2 ADAS suite, including forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. Standard safety features like ABS with EBD, six airbags, ESP, hill-hold assist, ISOFIX seat mounts, and parking sensors should continue.

The new Venue is expected to continue with the same powertrain options. These include a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (83 PS, 114 Nm torque) paired to a 5-speed manual, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (120 PS, 172 Nm torque) with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, and a 1.5-litre diesel (116 PS power, 250 Nm torque), mated to a 6-speed manual, with a possible automatic variant.

With an expected India launch around early-November 2025, prices are expected to range from ₹8.00 lakh to ₹14.00 lakh (ex-showroom). The Venue will continue to rival other segment contenders like the Kia Sonet, Skoda Kylaq, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Maruti Brezza.
