New Hyundai Venue vs Old Model: What's Different?

Hyundai is set to announce the prices for the updated Venue on November 4, 2025. However, before that, the SUV’s exterior, interior, and features have been revealed, giving us a clear idea of what’s new compared to the outgoing model. While the 2025 Hyundai Venue gets notable updates inside and out, its powertrain options remain unchanged.

The lineup continues to include the familiar 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel engines. However, there’s a key mechanical update – the 1.5-litre diesel engine now gets a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission option. Let’s take a closer look at how the new Venue differs from the previous model in detail.

New Hyundai Venue vs Old Model: Exterior

The updated Hyundai Venue gets a new face with a more upright stance and sharper, more assertive styling. A full-width LED light bar now stretches across the bonnet line, while the quad-LED headlamps sport a new lighting signature. The grille is wider, flatter, and exudes a stronger, more planted appearance, while a prominent skid plate adds to the rugged appearance. For reference, the outgoing model has a less aggressive stance.

Hyundai has also moved its emblem to the bonnet. The new alloy wheel designs and squared-off wheel arches emphasise the SUV’s muscular proportions.

The rear includes a Hyundai badge that now sits neatly above a full-width LED light bar, with the Venue branding stretching across a black strip (which connects the redesigned block-style taillamps). Dimensionally, the new Venue is 48mm taller (1,665mm), 30mm wider (1,800mm). It also has a 20mm longer wheelbase (2,520mm).

New Hyundai Venue vs Old Model: Interior

From the inside, the 2025 Hyundai Venue has become more modern and sophisticated than before. Gone is the older black-and-grey layout – in its place is a new blue and grey colour scheme. The dashboard seems simplified and flattened. The previous rotary-style air vents are replaced by slim horizontal units, while the climate control system now features fully digital, touch-based controls.

The highlight? The all-new Venue has a curved dual 12.3-inch display setup, seamlessly integrating the infotainment system and digital instrument cluster into a single, continuous panel, a significant upgrade from the outgoing model’s 8-inch screen and semi-digital cluster. Hyundai has swapped the earlier four-spoke steering wheel for a chunkier three-spoke unit adorned with four illuminated dots, a design cue borrowed from the brand’s latest electric vehicles.

New Hyundai Venue vs Old Model: Features

The feature list of the 2025 Venue is quite extensive. The major highlight is Hyundai’s all-new ccNC (Connected Car Navigation Cockpit) infotainment system, powered by NVIDIA. It is complemented by a Bose 8-speaker sound system, ventilated front seats, Surround View Monitor (SVM), wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, voice-controlled sunroof, and a suite of 70 Hyundai BlueLink connected car features. The SUV also gets a Blind Spot View Monitor (BVM).

For safety, the new Venue takes a major leap with the introduction of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This setup includes advanced features like Lane Keeping Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Rear Parking Collision Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, and Driver Attention Warning. Unlike the outgoing model’s Level 1, camera-based ADAS, the new system integrates both camera and radar sensors.
