Hyundai has officially revealed two new variants in its sub-4-meter compact SUV. The new-gen Venue and Venue N Line launched on November 04, 2025, with a wide range of upgrades bringing in the Indian compact SUV market.
If you are looking for a features-packed SUV that gives you a combination of performance, technology, and design, then these launches worth your consideration. The models are launched with significant upgrades, and here is everything you need to know about Hyundai’s newest compact SUVs.
Powertrain Options: Something for Everyone
Hyundai has offered us several powertrain options. The new-gen Venue is available in three different engine options that gives buyers the option to choose that meets their driving needs & budget as well.
The first option is a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine that generates 82 hp and 115 Nm torque. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and is an excellent pick for those who desire a comfortable city driving and are conscious of their budget.
Contrary to this, the 1.0L turbo petrol motor would be a right pick if anyone is after a sporty performance instead of a regular drive. It produces 118 horsepower and 172 Nm of torque. You can choose between a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed DCT automatic.
Lastly, the 1.5L diesel version can be mated with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission, which gives an output of 114 bhp and quite high 250 Nm of torque. It gives a mileage of 23km/l (ARAI certified), for buyers looking for fuel efficiency.
Design Philosophy: Sophistication meets Sportiness
The front look of the new-gen Venue comes with wide rectangular dark chrome with vertically stacked LED projector headlamps and C-shaped LED DRLs
The redesigned LED tail lights at the back are connected by an all-width LED bar. The new-gen Venue comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, whereas the higher variants will have 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels.
The new-generation Venue is available in six monotone colours and two dual-tone options which are – Hazel Blue and Atlas White with a common Abyss Black roof.
The Venue N Line takes a different approach when comes to the front Fascia because the first thing to notice is the prominent N Line logo on the grills and fenders with red accent highlights on the front bumper and brake calipers. The car is equipped with a 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheel.
The cabin’s interior comes in all-black with red highlights everywhere. Adding to this is the red stitching on the seats, steering wheel, and gear shifter.
