2026 Hyundai Venue First Drive Review | What’s New, What’s Not & Should You Care? | autoX

Hyundai’s compact SUV has been reborn — but how new is the new-generation Hyundai Venue really?

Kingshuk drives the 2026 Hyundai Venue on the roads of Goa to find out whether this second-gen model is more than just a facelift. With familiar engine options but a completely new design, high-tech dual 12.3-inch displays, and Level 2 ADAS, Hyundai’s best-seller seems to have levelled up in comfort, style, and safety.

We test the 1.0-litre turbo petrol with 7-speed DCT, check out the revised ride quality, and see if Hyundai’s updates make the Venue the most complete compact SUV in its class.

Prices: ₹7.9 lakh – ₹15.51 lakh (ex-showroom)
