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:

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.
