Hyundai Motor India has officially revealed the first look at the all-new Hyundai Venue 2026, announcing that the popular sub-4m SUV would be launched on November 4, 2025. The teaser shows the SUV’s revamped front, which has sharper LED lighting elements and a bolder front profile consistent with Hyundai’s new design philosophy. This is the global premiere of the next-generation Venue, which will be manufactured in India and sent to important international markets shortly after introduction.
Hyundai Venue 2026 Design
As shown in the teaser, the new Venue has a more robust and upright attitude, with a fully reworked front that includes a rectangular grille, C-shaped LED DRLs, vertically stacked headlights, and a full-width LED light bar. The bottom bumper features a bull-bar-style design for a more SUV-like appearance.
The sides have flatter door panels, larger wheel arches, and a revised C-pillar design akin to the Creta. New alloy wheel designs and a slimmer silver inlay on the rear quarter round off the contemporary but powerful look. The rear receives a cleaner design owing to integrated LED taillights and a more contoured tailgate. Overall, the 2026 Venue seems bigger and more luxurious than previous models, setting a new standard for Hyundai’s design language in the small SUV sector.
Hyundai Venue 2026 Interior
The cabin at the 2026 Venue will get a significant makeover. Like the new Creta and Alcazar, Hyundai is giving the SUV two 12.3-inch curved displays for instruments and infotainment. The dashboard will include a new flat-bottom steering wheel, revamped AC vents, and touch-based temperature controls.
On higher versions, premium amenities such a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone temperature control, ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, and an 8-speaker Bose sound system are anticipated. Beyond the existing model’s Level-1 array of safety features, which includes driver attention alert, lane departure warning, and front collision warning, the new Venue will add Level-2 ADAS. A 360° camera, front parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot collision warning might all be included in the upgrade.
Engine and Transmission
The well-proven 1.5-litre diesel, 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol, and 1.2-litre petrol engine choices will still be available in the new Venue’s mechanical configuration. However, a much-awaited upgrade among purchasers is anticipated when Hyundai introduces a 6-speed torque converter automatic with the diesel engine. The 5-speed manual, 6-speed iMT, and 7-speed DCT gears will remain available for the petrol versions. The 1.5L diesel’s power output of 116 PS, the 1.2L petrol’s 83 PS, and the 1.0L turbocharged petrol’s 120 PS are all the same.
Launch and Deliveries
Excitement is growing for the November 4 debut as Hyundai formally releases the first teaser. Soon after, deliveries should start, in time for the holiday season. With its sleeker design, cutting-edge technologies, and improved comfort, the new Venue is poised to be one of Hyundai’s most significant debuts of the year. It will still compete with the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV3XO, Kia Sonet, and Toyota Taisor.
