In a crowded and fiercely competitive compact SUV market, manufacturers are constantly seeking the edge. With the new-generation Hyundai Venue, Hyundai India is aiming to deliver that edge—starting at an ex-showroom price of ₹7.90 lakh.
What’s new in this Venue?
Compared to its predecessor, this next-gen Venue has undergone a comprehensive redesign:
The dimensions have grown: it is 48 mm taller and 30 mm wider, bringing it to 3,995 mm length × 1,800 mm width × 1,665 mm height with a wheelbase of 2,520 mm.
On the exterior, fresh styling: LED light bar, quad-beam LED headlamps, new grille, larger alloy wheels—all adding a premium feel. The cabin now boasts higher-end features: dual 12.3-inch curved displays, dual-tone interiors, ambient lighting, and tech features such as ADAS Level 2 with 16 driver-assist functions.
Engine & Transmission Options
Interestingly, while the styling and features have been significantly upgraded, the engine lineup remains largely the same as before:
1.2 litre naturally aspirated petrol (≈82 BHP) paired with a 5-speed manual.
1.0 litre turbo-petrol (≈118 BHP, 172 Nm) available with either 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT.
1.5 litre diesel (≈114 BHP, 250 Nm) with 6-speed manual or automatic.
This means buyers can have the new look and tech without a radical change in power-train costs.
Why this launch matters
Value proposition: At ₹7.90 lakh, the Venue makes its upgraded offering accessible in this segment, adding rationale for purchase beyond just style.
Technology edge: With dual large screens, premium interior touches, and connected-car features, it pushes expectations in the segment.
Competitive positioning: Against rivals such as the Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, the new Venue strengthens Hyundai’s offering in the sub-4-m SUV category.
