Here’s A List Of CONFIRMED FEATURES For The 2025 Hyundai Venue…..

After revealing the design of the 2025 Hyundai Venue, the carmaker has just announced some very important features that it will get. Slated for launch on November 4, the second-generation Venue brings forward a major upgrade in almost every area to retain its crown in the sub-4 metre SUV space. Let’s take a look at what Hyundai has revealed so far:

Exterior: A Family Look

While being an evolution of the older Venue, the 2025 Venue carries a family look which borrows the design language of other Hyundais like the Exter, Creta and Alcazar. Starting off from the front-end, the new Venue gets a rectangular grille with dark chrome inserts and a square quad-beam LED headlamp setup. Below this is a chunky-looking skid plate for a tough look. Just like other Hyundais, it now gets a connected LED light strip at the top, albeit with a unique C-shaped DRL signature, making the new Venue look unmistakable on the road.

In profile, the new Venue has imbibed a lot of touches from the Exter, Alcazar and Creta too. You get muscular fenders and taller roof rails, lending it an Exter-like visual appeal. There are new 16-inch diamond-cut alloys with an ‘aero-inspired’ design as well. Here, you will also notice a Creta-like grey insert on the C-pillar with ‘Venue’ badging for another distinct touch. 

At the rear, however, the new Venue carries a relatively minimalistic theme. It now gets a full-width connected LED taillamp cluster along with a thick faux skid plate and a larger rear spoiler to enhance the sporty credentials. A bit ‘inspired’ from the Ioniq 5 perhaps?

Interior: Opulent And Cutting-edge

Inside the 2025 Venue lies a premium cabin and a lot of tech. The dashboard layout is all-new and features twin curved 12.3-inch screens for the infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. It gets a dual-tone Dark Navy and Dove White theme, slim central AC vents, a new AC control panel below, a Terrazo insert on the passenger side with ‘Venue’ motif and a new centre console, all of which work together for a comprehensive and premium upgrade over the outgoing car.

You will also notice a new steering wheel with the ‘four-dots’ Hyundai logo. Could this mean a Venue EV in the future? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Chauffeur-driven buyers will be glad to know that Hyundai has extended the wheelbase of the new Venue by 20 mm, which could translate into better legroom for rear passengers. You still get the 2-step reclining backrest and rear AC vents for extra comfort, while the new generation also adds rear sunshades to the package.

Features: A Looooong List

With the latest round of feature reveals, we now have some key insights into the sort of features that the 2025 Venue will get. The aforementioned 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system will feature wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, an Nvidia chipset, in-built Navigation, OTA update capability and connected car technology. This will be powering an 8-speaker Bose sound system with an amplifier to replicate home theatre-like music quality in the car. 

On the other hand, the adjoining 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster also offers a tyre pressure readout, customisable drive mode themes and even a blind-spot view monitor. The new Venue is also equipped with other features such as a voice-enabled electric sunroof, ventilated front seats, 4-way power adjustable driver seat, ambient lighting and remote engine start.

Safety-wise, the new Venue carries a new Level 2 ADAS suite along with 6 airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, 360-degree camera, electronic parking brake with autohold, electronic stability control, hill hold assist, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror and rollover mitigation.

Powertrain: Now With A Diesel AT!

Under the hood, the Venue carries the same set of engines, including a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The 1.2-litre petrol comes paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox while the 1-litre turbo-petrol gets a choice of 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissions. 

On the other hand, the 1.5-litre diesel is now available with a 6-speed automatic gearbox as well, in addition to the 6-speed manual offered before. Here are the detailed specifications of these powertrains:

Expected Price And Launch Date

Prices for the 2025 Hyundai Venue are all set to be revealed on the launch date of November 4. Considering the pricing of the outgoing Venue, we expect the new-gen to be priced from Rs 7.5 to Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom). 

Rivals: Many And Fierce

In order to regain its crown in the sub-4 metre space, the new Venue will be fighting rivals like the Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor, Mahindra XUV 3XO and Skoda Kylaq.
