Design & Dimensions
Exterior & dimensions
- The 2026 Venue is longer, wider, and taller than the outgoing model. According to sources: length approximately 3,995 mm; width about 1,800 mm; height about 1,665 mm; wheelbase around 2,520 mm (up ~20 mm) in some measurements.
- Design features: quad‐beam LED headlamps, twin‐horn LED daytime running lights (DRLs), dark chrome grille, “bridge” roof rails, flared wheel arches – all lending a more muscular, SUV-oriented stance.
Interior & features
- Inside, a major update: the new Venue gets dual 12.3-inch curved panoramic displays for instrument cluster and infotainment (in higher trims).
- Premium touches: dual‐tone leather upholstery, ambient lighting (Moon White), D-cut steering wheel, rear AC vents, rear window sunshades, reclining rear seats (two-step).
Powertrain & Mechanicals
One of the interesting things about the 2026 Hyundai Venue is what has changed — and what hasn’t — under the hood.
What remains the same
- The core engine options from the previous generation appear to carry forward:
- 1.2 litre Kappa MPi petrol
- 1.0 litre Turbo GDi petrol
- 1.5 litre U2 CRDi diesel
- Transmission choices: manual, automatic, dual-clutch transmission (DCT) or other automated gearboxes depending on variant.
- This continuation is smart: Hyundai retains proven powertrains while focusing investment on design, tech and packaging upgrades.
Booking, Launch & Variants
What you, as a potential buyer, should know about how to secure the car, when it hits and your options.
- Booking is open now in India: token amount of ₹ 25,000 at authorised dealerships and Hyundai’s official booking portal.
- Launch date: 4 November 2025. That’s when Hyundai will disclose full pricing, variant breakdowns, and begin deliveries.
- Variant nomenclature: instead of older names like S, SX, SX+, etc., the new model uses “HX” series: HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX6T, HX7, HX8, HX10 (depending on features/powertrain).
- Colour options: new shades are introduced such as Hazel Blue, Mystic Sapphire; dual-tone roof options are expected.
Tips for buyers
If you’re serious, book early. Token is small (₹ 25,000) relative to full price, so makes sense to secure your preferred colour/variant.
Decide on powertrain ahead — petrol vs diesel vs turbo petrol — as transmission choice and variant may be variant‐specific.
Watch out for waiting lists; popular combinations may have longer lead times.
Conclusion
So, there you have it — the 2026 Hyundai Venue, launching 4 November 2025, is shaping up to be much more than just a mild update. With significant design upgrades, more space, better tech and smart engineering, it aims to raise the bar in the compact SUV segment in India.
