Hyundai Venue Second Generation: A Fresh New Look with Advanced Features

We’re excited to introduce the all-new second-generation Hyundai Venue — a compact SUV that’s packed with over 80 updates and enhancements, promising a much smarter and stylish driving experience. While the engine remains unchanged, the design, dimensions, and features have seen a significant overhaul. Let’s dive into what makes this new Venue stand out!

Striking New Design: Modern, Bold, and Elegant

The first thing that catches your eye is the revamped exterior. Hyundai has given the Venue a completely fresh look that sets it apart from the previous model. The headlamps now feature a quad LED setup, which looks sharp and contemporary. The connected DRL pattern is uniquely designed, extending downward and covering the entire headlamp area, creating a distinctive and smart appearance.

At the front, the all-new grille adds to the SUV’s stylish appeal. It’s flanked by silver accents and black elements that lend a bolder stance. The bumper design complements the overall look, while a camera in the grille’s centre hints at the advanced ADAS Level 2 features.

Enhanced Side Profile & Practical Details

Moving to the side, the Venue looks sleek and modern. It comes with 16-inch alloy wheels on higher variants, while the lower trims get 15-inch wheels. The silver and black combination on the body enhances its sporty character. The side mirrors are equipped with turn indicators, and a 360° camera system provides comprehensive coverage, making parking and manoeuvring effortless.

The vehicle features broad black cladding for added protection and style, especially useful for rough roads, although some may find the design a bit too wide around the wheel arches. Roof rails, a shark fin antenna, and a stylish spoiler add to its sporty profile. The connected tail lamp setup, along with embedded Venue badging and silver accents on the rear, gives the car a premium and modern look.

Spacious & Functional Rear Features

In the rear, the Venue boasts a generous 375-litre boot, perfect for daily errands and weekend getaways. The rear camera and six parking sensors at both ends ensure safety and ease of parking. The spoiler, wipers, and defogger make it a practical choice for all weather conditions. The stylish tail lamps and embedded badging complete the contemporary aesthetic.

Interior Comfort & High-Tech Features

Step inside, and you’re greeted with a dual-tone door design that’s both eye-catching and elegant. Power windows, with single-touch operation and anti-pinch on the driver’s side, add convenience. The all-new steering wheel is a D-cut design with three spokes, equipped with controls for media, calls, and navigation, all easily accessible.

The instrument cluster is a dual 12.3-inch digital display that shows vital information such as trip data, tire pressure, drive modes, traction settings, and navigation. The infotainment system is a large 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with connectivity features like OTA updates, vehicle diagnostics, and remote control via your smartphone.

Comfort & Convenience: Thoughtfully Designed

Inside, the climate controls are sleek and intuitive, with a single-zone AC system. There’s a dedicated space for wireless charging, along with two Type-C ports and a 12-volt socket for all your charging needs. Ventilated seats are available for the driver, ensuring comfort during long drives.

Additional features include an electronic parking brake, auto hold, and multiple transmission options—ranging from a five-speed manual with the 1.2L petrol to a seven-speed DCT with the 1L turbo engine, and a six-speed manual or automatic with the diesel variants.

Smart Safety & Drive Assistance

The Venue now comes with Level 2 ADAS, which includes radar and camera-based safety features. These assist with lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and more, making your drive safer and less stressful.
