The market for compact SUVs in India is getting a major change. Hyundai has officially announced the second-generation Venue model for India and the debut is scheduled for October 2025. This is a total revamp of the model, not just a facelift. It includes a variety of brand new design elements including interior enhancements, as well as segments-first safety features.
Let’s look at the features that the new Hyundai Venue brings to the table.
Launching Details
The brand new Hyundai Venue is scheduled to arrive in showrooms on October 2nd 2025 which coincides with the holiday season. The estimated price will be in the range of Rs7.90 lakh to the price of Rs14 lakh (ex-showroom). A slight increase over the old version is expected because of the addition of higher-end features.
Target Audience
Hyundai is targeting the new Venue towards younger professionals and first time buyers of SUVs and suburban middle class families who are looking for a sleek well-equipped, feature-packed and small SUV. With its striking new style and the latest technology for driver aids (ADAS) as well as many other tech-related attributes, it’s targeted towards buyers who value security and technological advancements.
Its Impact on the Market
The compact SUV space is one of India’s most competitive segments. With rivals like Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, and Mahindra XUV3XO, the new Venue has to stand out-and it just might.
