New 2025 Hyundai Venue – Hyundai Motor India has officially launched the 2025 Venue, introducing significant updates to its popular sub-compact SUV. The refreshed model features a bold new design, enhanced powertrain options, advanced technology features, and improved safety equipment, reinforcing its position as a strong contender in the highly competitive sub-4 meter SUV segment in India.
Launch Overview and Highlights
The 2025 Venue marks the first major update to the model since its facelift in 2022. Unsoo Kim, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor India, emphasized that the new Venue builds on the success of its predecessors while introducing features previously unseen in the segment.
“The 2025 Venue represents Hyundai’s commitment to providing innovative and feature-rich vehicles that exceed customer expectations,” said Kim during the launch event at Hyundai’s headquarters in Gurugram. “With enhanced styling, advanced technology, and improved performance, the new Venue is designed to appeal to young, tech-savvy consumers who seek a premium experience in a compact package.”
The updated Venue will continue to be manufactured at Hyundai’s state-of-the-art facility in Chennai, with over 70% localization to ensure competitive pricing and easier maintenance.
Design and Exterior Updates
The 2025 Venue features Hyundai’s latest ‘Sensuous Sportiness’ design language, with a completely redesigned front fascia dominated by a wider parametric grille and new LED headlamps with H-shaped DRLs that align with Hyundai’s newer models. The front bumper has been redesigned with larger air intakes and a more pronounced skid plate, enhancing its SUV character.
In profile, the Venue retains its compact proportions but gets new 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels (up from 15-inch) on higher variants and stronger character lines. The rear receives connected LED tail lamps with a light bar running across the tailgate, a sportier bumper design, and dual exhaust tips on turbo variants.
Hyundai has introduced four new color options for the 2025 Venue: Starry Night Blue, Ranger Khaki, Fiery Red, and Atlas White with black roof, bringing the total color options to nine. The dimensions remain largely unchanged at 3,995mm in length, 1,770mm in width, and 1,617mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,500mm, maintaining its sub-4 meter classification for tax benefits.
