Next-Gen Hyundai Venue Possible Updates
We have come across the very first spy shots of the upcoming Venue today, now I can clearly say that the next-gen Venue will get some major updates on the front fascia. Although the test mule was covered with heavy camouflage from all sides, it is expected to feature the all-new lighting units, a new set of bumpers and an upgraded grille. The compact SUV is expected to get the same headlamps as the Inster EV.
Next-Gen Hyundai Venue: Features
The next-gen Venue could have features such as ADAS Level 2 as we have seen some sensors positioned on the lower section of the grille. The current-gen Venue also has Level 1 ADAS, but the upcoming model will take the game to the next level, improving the overall safety suite with the Level 2 ADAS suite.
Interiors
The latest spy shots of the new-gen Venue hint at the completely upgraded interior theme. Although the test mule's cabin was also covered with black camouflage, we expect that higher variants of the compact SUV would have a dual-screen setup, similar to the Creta facelift. Additionally, we can also expect a panoramic sunroof which will replace the currently available single-pane sunroof.
Next-Gen Hyundai Venue: Engine Options
For the power, the new-gen Venue is expected to get three engine options that are on offer with the current-gen Venue as well. These include a 1.5-litre CRDi VGT that produces 116 PS of power and 250 Nm and a 1.2-litre petrol engine that makes 83 PS of power and 113.8 Nm of torque. While the former gets a 6-speed manual gearbox, the latter gets a 5-speed manual transmission. There will be a 1.0-litre turbo petrol option as well that produces 120 PS and 172 Nm on the current gen Venue. The turbo version gets a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT unit for transmission duties.

Verdict
The next-gen Hyundai Venue promises significant upgrades, likely making it a standout in the compact SUV segment. With anticipated design enhancements, advanced ADAS Level 2 features, and a more luxurious interior, it could set a new benchmark in its class. Hyundai's focus on blending tech and style should appeal to modern buyers, strengthening Venue's already strong market position.
