Hyundai: Hyundai’s Venue has been a steady performer in India’s sub-4-metre SUV market since its debut. The 2025 facelift (or next-gen refresh, depending on how Hyundai positions it) looks like a serious step up, especially inside the cabin. Recent spy shots and multiple media reports reveal a modern, tech-forward interior and a launch scheduled for November 4, 2025. Below, I break down what the spy shots reveal, what Hyundai is likely to offer, and how the refreshed Venue compares to key rivals, the Tata Nexon and Maruti Brezza. I’ll conclude with a concise comparison table, allowing you to quickly scan the differences.

Hyundai: Launch timing & positioning
Multiple auto media outlets are reporting a November 4, 2025, unveiling/launch for the Venue facelift — timed well for the festive season and a strong sales push before year-end. Hyundai appears to be positioning this as a more premium, tech-heavy rival to the popular Nexon and Brezza, rather than changing the Venue’s fundamental role (value-oriented urban crossover).
Venue 2025 facelift vs Tata Nexon vs Maruti Brezza
| Item / Model | Hyundai Venue (2025 facelift — expected) | Tata Nexon (current) | Maruti Brezza (current) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch / Availability | On sale (existing generation/updates) | On sale (existing generation/updates) | On sale (existing generation / updates) |
| Interior highlights | Dual curved 10″ displays, layered dash, ambient lighting, ventilated seats (top trims). | Modern cabin, good materials; digital cluster on higher trims. | Practical cabin, large touchscreen on higher trims; simpler execution vs Venue facelift. |
| ADAS / Safety | Reported Level-2 ADAS, 360° camera, 6 airbags (higher trims). | Strong safety credentials historically; 6 airbags on higher trims; ADAS offerings vary by market. | Competitive safety kit but fewer ADAS features historically; 4–6 airbags depending on variant. |
| Powertrains | Expected to carry existing 1.2L / 1.0L turbo / 1.5L diesel line-up — no radical change reported. | Petrol + turbo petrol + diesel options (market dependent). Known for punchy performance in turbo trims. | Petrol-focused (strong fuel efficiency). Hybrid options in some markets; emphasis on low running cost. |
| Price positioning (expected) | Likely to be priced slightly above outgoing Venue for higher trims, targeting feature buyers (est. competitive with Nexon/Brezza top trims). | Competes across mid to upper segment; often priced similarly for equivalent feature levels. | Generally value-focused; pricing and wide dealer reach are strong levers. |
| Why buy | If you want a modern, techy cabin + ADAS in a compact SUV. | If you prioritise safety credentials and muscular performance in turbo trims. | If you prioritise ownership costs, dealer convenience and reliability. |
Conclusion
Hyundai is clearly trying to move the Venue from “good city-SUV” to “serious tech contender” in the segment. The spy shots show a cabin that borrows the premium cues from Hyundai’s larger models, which is exactly what buyers in the sub-4m SUV market are beginning to demand. If Hyundai pairs attractive pricing with the reported Level-2 ADAS and the curved display hardware, the Venue facelift will be a credible threat to both the Nexon (on tech/safety grounds) and the Brezza (on perceived premium value and features).
