Introduction
The second-generation Hyundai Venue 2025 is here, and it’s far more than a mild facelift. Hyundai has gone all out — reworking design, safety, and tech — while keeping pricing competitive at ₹7.9 lakh onwards (ex-showroom).
As Hyundai’s compact SUV enters its newest generation, it goes up against the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Kia Sonet, aiming to reclaim the top spot with better value and technology.
Exterior Design & Dimensions
The 2025 Venue adopts Hyundai’s Sensuous Sportiness global design language. The new connected LED DRL bar, quad-beam LED headlights, and dark chrome grille make it look bolder than before.
The Venue now feels more muscular thanks to subtle dimensional growth:
- Width: +30 mm
- Height: +48 mm
- Wheelbase: +20 mm
This translates into better interior packaging and a more upright stance. The connected tail-lamp design with LED light bar gives it a premium edge, while new 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels (17-inch on the N Line) add flair.
At the back, six rear parking sensors, a camera, and a high-mounted LED stop lamp enhance both convenience and safety.
Venue 2025 Dimensions (mm)
| Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Boot Space |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3,995 | 1,770 | 1,617 | 2,500 | 375 L (+25 L) |
Engines, Transmission & Performance
Under the hood, the engine lineup remains unchanged but is now more refined. Hyundai continues to offer three powertrains:
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2L Kappa NA Petrol | 83 PS | 114 Nm | 5MT |
| 1.0L Turbo GDi Petrol | 120 PS | 172 Nm | 6iMT / 7DCT |
| 1.5L U2 CRDi Diesel | 116 PS | 250 Nm | 6MT / 6AT (new torque converter) |
The biggest mechanical update is the introduction of the 6-speed automatic gearbox for the diesel — finally adding convenience to the segment’s most fuel-efficient variant.
The 2025 Venue continues on the enhanced K1 platform, now built with 71% high-strength steel for improved rigidity, handling, and crash protection.
Safety & ADAS Features
Hyundai takes safety seriously with the Venue 2025, which now comes with Level 2 ADAS featuring 16 autonomous safety systems (21 on the N Line).
Key ADAS Features
- Forward Collision Avoidance Assist

The Venue also gets six airbags as standard, ESP, hill-start assist, TPMS, and a 360° camera system with Blind View Monitor.
Interior & Features
Step inside, and you’ll immediately feel Hyundai’s step-up in quality and tech. The 2025 Venue sports a dual-tone cabin (blue-beige combination) with soft-touch accents and clean horizontal lines.

Hyundai has loaded the Venue with 70 Bluelink connected features, 400 voice commands (in 5 languages), and OTA updates for navigation, ADAS, and instrument cluster — making it one of the most feature-rich SUVs in its class.
Driving Experience
On the road, the Hyundai Venue 2025 feels composed, refined, and perfectly tuned for Indian conditions. The improved suspension setup absorbs bumps with ease, while steering feedback has marginally improved for urban and highway driving.
The diesel automatic feels smooth and efficient — perfect for long commutes — while the 1.0 turbo petrol remains the most fun, especially with the quick-shifting DCT.
Noise insulation, vibration levels, and braking response have all improved, giving the Venue a more mature, “big car” feel.
Verdict
The Hyundai Venue 2025 is a textbook example of Hyundai’s approach: incremental but meaningful evolution. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it perfects what already worked — offering more features, more safety, and more polish than ever before.

Final Word:
