The 2026 Hyundai Venue was spotted once again, this time wearing minimal camouflage, revealing most of its redesigned front fascia. Expected to launch in November 2025, the new Venue will continue to rival other B2-SUVs such as the Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Kia Sonet and the Mahindra XUV 3XO, among others. In this article, we take a look at the latest 2026 Venue spy shots and breakdown its updated design and features.

2026 Hyundai Venue Facelift Spied – Design, Features, Launch Timeline

2026 Hyundai Venue To Offer Creta-Inspired Front End

The upcoming Venue adopts Hyundai’s latest design philosophy, similar to what we’ve seen on the Creta N Line and Exter. Up front, it gets a wider, squarer grille with horizontal slats and a vertically stacked LED lighting setup. The main headlamps sit lower on the bumper, surrounded by C-shaped LED DRLs, while the turn indicators are positioned at the edge of the bonnet. Also visible in the latest spy shots are the Venue new faux skid plate.

At the rear, the new Venue is expected to feature slimmer LED tail lamps, possibly connected by a light bar across the tailgate, as seen on the current Creta.

2026 Hyundai Venue To Offer Level 2 ADAS

A rectangular sensor module below the number plate confirms that the new Venue will offer Level 2 ADAS features at launch. In comparison, the current Venue offers camera-based Level 1 ADAS features only.

On the inside, we expect the Venue facelift to offer a completely redesigned dashboard with a dual 10.2-inch curved screen setup for the infotainment and digital instrument cluster. In comparison, the current model offers an 8-inch infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster with a full-colour TFT multi-info display (MID).

Feature highlights of the Venue 2026 are expected to include:

Panoramic sunroof
Ventilated front seats
Dual-zone climate control
360-degree surround view camera
Wireless smartphone connectivity

With the features mentioned above, the Venue will finally be able to contend with other B2 SUVs that received key upgrades in the last few years, such as the Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3XO.

2026 Hyundai Venue Engines And Transmission Options

Hyundai are expected to carry forward the same set of engines from the outgoing Venue:

1.2L normal petrol (MT/AMT)
1.0L turbo petrol (MT/DCT)
1.5L diesel (MT)

Here are the powertrain specifications of the current Venue:

2025 HYUNDAI VENUE POWERTRAIN SPECS
Engine	1.2L Normal Petrol	1.0L Turbo Petrol	1.5L Diesel
Power	83PS @ 6000rpm	120PS @ 6000rpm	116PS @ 4000rpm
Torque	114Nm @ 4000rpm	172Nm @ 1500-4000rpm	250Nm @ 1500-2750rpm
Manual	5-speed	6-speed	6-speed
Manual FE	17.27kmpl	18.07kmpl	22.7kmpl
Automatic	-	7-speed DCT	-
Automatic FE	-	17.99kmpl	-

It remains to be seen if Hyundai offer the diesel engine with the 6-speed torque converter from the Kia Sonet diesel.

2026 Hyundai Venue N Line Variant Also On The Way

Hyundai are also developing a sportier N Line version of the new Venue. We expect it to debut shortly after the launch of the standard model. The Venue N Line is expected to feature red accents, dual exhausts, unique alloys, and N Line badging. Inside, it will likely get an all-black cabin with red stitching, metal pedals, and a tuned suspension for a sportier driving experience — similar to the Creta N Line.

Expected Launch And Rivals

The Hyundai Venue is expected to launch around November 2025. Once launched, it will continue to go up against the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, and Mahindra XUV3XO.
