The compact SUV has been among the most popular vehicles in this segment for a long time now
The next-gen Hyundai Venue was recently spotted testing in Kasar, Uttarakhand. Venue features in one of the most crowded market segments in India. There are SUVs from just about every major carmaker in this space. Some of the most prominent rivals to the Venue include Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV3XO, etc. By being one of the most feature-packed cars in this segment, it has been able to face the stiff competition in the last few years. Now, it is time for a thorough update and the lauch is slated for CY2026.
Next-Gen Hyundai Venue Spotted
We are able to glance at this spy image courtesy of tejendhankhar on YouTube. The visuals capture the heavily camouflaged compact SUV parked at a resting place. Despite the heavy covering, we are able to experience some elements, including things like roof rails, a shark fin antenna, a familiar silhouette from the sides, new-design alloy wheels and more. It will be interesting to see how the Korean auto giant designs the new Venue, as the front fascia is not visible in this image.
Apart from that, we know that Hyundai equips its vehicles with all the latest tech and convenience amenities. In fact, Hyundai cars are some of the most feature-laden in their respective segments. The existing Venue is no different, and I expect the same for the new-gen model as well. Additionally, there will also be multiple powertrain and transmission options to choose from, just like the current version. Hence, the buyers will be able to choose the right variant for themselves as per their needs.
My View
The Hyundai Venue has been a key model in the compact SUV segment in India for a long time now. As the competition in this space gets tougher, carmakers need to make sure that they put their best foot forward. Therefore, vehicles generally come with tons of modern amenities to pamper the occupants and challenge the rivals. Let us keep an eye out for details in this case in the times to come.
