Exterior Design: The New “H-Pattern” Philosophy
The 2025 Venue adopts a sharper, more muscular, and distinctly boxy SUV aesthetic. It moves away from the previous generation’s softer lines toward Hyundai’s new “H-Pattern” design language.
Exclusive Design Insights
- H-Pattern DRLs: The C-shaped LED DRLs wrap around the vertically stacked headlamp clusters, forming an inverted ‘H’ motif—a direct link to its bigger Creta and Tucson siblings.
- Dimensional Growth (Unique Data): The new Venue has grown, translating directly to improved cabin space:
- Length: Retains 3,995 mm (to stay sub-4 metre).
- Width: Increased by 30 mm to 1,800 mm (enhancing shoulder room).
- Height: Increased by 48 mm to 1,665 mm (improving headroom).
- Wheelbase: Extended by 20 mm to 2,520 mm (critical for rear legroom).
- Rear Design: A full-width connected LED light bar is housed within a contrasting gloss black panel, giving a futuristic, wide appearance.
- New Color Palette: Introducing new shades like Hazel Blue and Mystic Sapphire, alongside the existing five monotone and two dual-tone options.
Interior: A Premium Digital Cockpit
The cabin is where the 2025 Venue truly separates itself from the competition, redefining the sub-4m segment with luxury-class technology.
Confirmed Interior Highlights
- Dual 12.3-inch Curved Display: This is the centerpiece. A single curved panel houses the digital instrument cluster and the infotainment system, offering a seamless, high-definition digital experience.
- Level 2 ADAS Controls: The Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) suite includes features such as:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (with Stop & Go Functionality)
- Lane Keeping Assist & Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Warning & Avoidance Assist
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning
- Comfort & Convenience:
- Ventilated Front Seats
- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Hold (A highly-requested feature for automatic variants).
- 360° Surround View Camera
- Powered Driver Seat (4-way adjustment)
- Bose Premium 8-Speaker Sound System (Expected on top trims, a major audio upgrade).
Exclusive Cabin Detail
The new steering wheel is expected to feature four illuminated dots instead of the traditional Hyundai logo. This is a nod to the company’s Ioniq-series philosophy, where the four dots represent the letter ‘H’ in Morse code. This subtle detail adds a unique, high-tech touch that will appeal to tech enthusiasts.

Engine, Transmission & Performance (The Diesel Automatic Advantage)
The Venue retains its proven three-engine lineup, but with one critical addition that directly addresses a major market gap.
| Engine Type | Power (PS) | Torque (Nm) | Manual Transmission | Automatic Transmission |
| 1.2L Kappa Petrol | 83 PS | 113.8 Nm | 5-speed MT | N/A |
| 1.0L Turbo GDi Petrol | 120 PS | 172 Nm | 6-speed MT | 7-speed DCT |
| 1.5L U2 CRDi Diesel | 116 PS | 250 Nm | 6-speed MT | NEW! 6-speed Torque Converter AT |
The Game Changer: The introduction of a proper 6-speed Torque Converter Automatic with the powerful 1.5 L diesel engine is a massive selling point, offering better drivability and reliability than the previous model’s manual-only diesel.
Fuel Efficiency: All engines are fine-tuned for the latest BS6 Phase 2 norms, guaranteeing excellent fuel efficiency figures, expected to be in the 18 – 24 kmpl range.

Hyundai Venue 2025: Detailed Comparison with Segment Leaders
The new Hyundai Venue 2025 enters the segment with a clear strategy: to be the technology leader. This means competing directly on segment-first features like Level 2 ADAS and an updated digital cockpit, while its rivals—the Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Kia Sonet—counter with proven safety and/or best-in-class power and cabin space.
Here is a detailed comparison of the top-end Turbo-Petrol Automatic variants of the key competitors in the Indian market:

The 2025 Hyundai Venue is strategically priced to undercut the most heavily loaded top variants of its rivals, while offering segment-defining technology.
Segment Position: The Venue aims for the balanced buyer—one who wants best-in-class technology, safety assistance, and premium features (like ventilated seats) without needing the absolute highest engine output or the largest sunroof.
Tech Dominance: The combination of Level 2 ADAS and the Dual 12.3-inch Curved Display setup puts the Venue in a class above, particularly for the tech-focused and safety-conscious buyer.
The Safety Benchmark: The Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3XO remain the established leaders in passive safety with their confirmed 5-Star BNCAP ratings, a factor still paramount for Indian buyers.
Power and Space: The Mahindra XUV 3XO is the undisputed segment king for performance, offering the highest torque and power figures, alongside the practical luxury of a Panoramic Sunroof.

Author Insights: The ‘Digital Safety’ Pivot
The 2025 Venue is a clear attempt by Hyundai to shift the narrative in the highly competitive sub-4m SUV segment from “size/power” to “Technology and Premium Experience.” By offering Level 2 ADAS and dual 12.3-inch screens—features usually seen on models â‚ą5 – 10 lakh higher—Hyundai is creating a clear, superior value proposition for the tech-savvy, aspirational buyer.
- Competitive Edge: While rivals like the Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3XO boast 5-star safety ratings (an unrated area for the Venue), the Venue now offers the highest “Active Safety” technology with its L2 ADAS suite. Furthermore, the combination of Diesel with a Torque Converter AT is a powertrain configuration that directly undercuts a key advantage of the Kia Sonet and is a massive win for highway driving.
People Also Ask (FAQs)
Q1. What is the official launch date of the 2025 Hyundai Venue?
The official launch date for the all-new second-generation Hyundai Venue in India is November 4, 2025.
Q2. Does the new Venue come with a panoramic sunroof?
No. The 2025 Venue continues to offer a single-pane electric sunroof, not the panoramic type, which is reserved for larger Hyundai models.
Q3. Is the Level 2 ADAS standard across all variants?
No. The Level 2 ADAS suite is expected to be offered only on the top-spec HX8 and HX10 variants, both for the petrol and diesel engine options.
Q4. What is the major change in the Diesel engine lineup?
The biggest change is the addition of a 6-speed Torque Converter Automatic transmission to the 1.5L Diesel engine, making the diesel variant much easier to drive in city traffic.
Q5. Has the crash test safety rating been announced?
No. The 2025 Hyundai Venue’s official Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP safety rating has not been announced as of the launch date confirmation.
The new Venue will inject much-needed freshness into Hyundai’s compact SUV line-up, which has seen its market share challenged by newer models.
Future Safety Rating: The market will wait for an official Bharat NCAP (or Global NCAP) rating. Achieving a 5-star rating, coupled with the L2 ADAS, would make the Venue an almost unbeatable package in the segment.
Sales Target: We anticipate the Venue can comfortably achieve monthly sales figures of 12,000 – 15,000 units in its first six months, provided the base and mid-range variants are priced aggressively.
Product Cannibalization: The new Venue’s premium features (especially the dual 12.3″ screens) could slightly impact sales of the entry-level and mid-level trims of the larger Hyundai Creta, making the Creta’s higher trims even more important for Hyundai.
