The new Hyundai Venue is in its final global testing stage, with a production-ready model recently spotted in India without any camouflage. This reveals significant exterior updates compared to the current version. The 2026 Venue is expected to launch this November.
Spy photos from South Korea show the refreshed Venue will have a revamped lighting design, featuring split LED headlamps paired with a sleek full-width LED strip set within a glossy black panel. The front also includes prominent C-shaped LED daytime running lights (DRLs) flanking a larger grille and a more sculpted bumper with bigger air vent openings.
Images from India highlight the rear changes, showcasing new two-piece LED tail lamps, L-shaped reflectors embedded in the rear bumper, a redesigned faux skid plate with vertical black inserts, functional roof rails, a shark-fin antenna, and bold Venue badging between the tail lights.
Under the hood, the facelifted Venue is likely to continue with the current engine options: a 1.2-liter Kappa petrol, a 1.0-liter Turbo GDi petrol, and a 1.5-liter U2 CRDi VGT diesel engine.
