It is already known that Hyundai is working on the second generation Venue for some time now. Test mules of the new-gen Hyundai Venue have been spotted on numerous occasions in the last few months. It has now come to light that Hyundai is about to launch the second-gen Venue in India sooner than expected.
According to Autocar India, the South Korean carmaker is planning to launch the new-gen Venue in October this year. Internally codenamed the QU2i, the new Venue will see a comprehensive overhaul of the exterior and interiors. The first-gen model of the sub-compact SUV made its debut in May 2019.
New-Gen Hyundai Venue: Expected Design
The next-gen Hyundai Venue will draw inspiration from the facelifted second-gen Creta, featuring an L-shaped LED DRL that extends down to the front bumper. It adopts a split headlight layout paired with a parametric grille, while silver-finished skid plates add a rugged touch. Previous spy shots also reveal a redesigned rear section with fresh LED tail lamps, a shark-fin antenna, and a bumper-mounted number plate. A set of fresh alloy wheels are also expected.
New-Gen Hyundai Venue: Expected Interiors & Features
Interiors of the new-gen Hyundai Venue are still under the dark. We expect changes such as a newly designed dashboard with a larger infotainment system along with an all-digital instrument console. The subcompact SUV will offer ventilated seats and a panoramic sunroof. One of the crucial updates will be the Level 2 ADAS. Other notable feature additions expected are ventilated front seats, wireless charging, six airbags, reversing camera, a 360-degree camera, and more.
New-Gen Hyundai Venue: Expected Powertrain
Hyundai is expected to carry over the same powertrain setup as the current Venue. This includes a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (82 bhp || 114 Nm), a 1.5-litre diesel engine (114 bhp || 250 Nm), and a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine (118 bhp || 172 Nm). Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.
