It is already known that Hyundai is working on the second generation Venue for some time now. Test mules of the newgen 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 secondgen Venue in India sooner than expected.
According to Autocar India, the South Korean carmaker is planning to launch the newgen Venue in October this year. Internally codenamed the QU2i, the new Venue will see a comprehensive overhaul of the exterior and interiors. The firstgen model of the subcompact SUV made its debut in May 2019.
The nextgen Hyundai Venue will draw inspiration from the facelifted secondgen Creta, featuring an Lshaped LED DRL that extends down to the front bumper. It adopts a split headlight layout paired with a parametric grille, while silverfinished skid plates add a rugged touch. Previous spy shots also reveal a redesigned rear section with fresh LED tail lamps, a sharkfin antenna, and a bumpermounted number plate. A set of fresh alloy wheels are also expected.
Interiors of the newgen Hyundai Venue are still under the dark. We expect changes such as a newly designed dashboard with a larger infotainment system along with an alldigital 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 360degree camera, and more.
Hyundai is expected to carry over the same powertrain setup as the current Venue. This includes a 1.2litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (82 bhp || 114 Nm), a 1.5litre diesel engine (114 bhp || 250 Nm), and a 1.0litre turbocharged petrol engine (118 bhp || 172 Nm). Transmission options will include a 5speed manual, a 6speed manual and a 7speed dualclutch automatic.
