Autocar Professional, 16 October '25
Ahead of its market launch on November 4th, 2025, Hyundai India has commenced series production of the second-generation Venue at its new Talegaon plant in Maharashtra.
The new Venue is the first Hyundai model to be manufactured at this facility, which has an annual capacity of 170,000 units.
At its investor day, Hyundai Motor India announced that production capacity at the plant will be increased to 250,000 units in the near future. The Talegaon facility - acquired from General Motors - has been modernised to support the production of models with multiple powertrain options.
The new Hyundai Venue has a redesigned exterior and interior, incorporating styling elements from contemporary Hyundai models such as the latest-generation Creta, the Exter, and the Ioniq 9.
On the inside, it includes features and safety technologies, including a sunroof, 10.25-inch curved dual infotainment screens, Level 2 ADAS, and OTA updates.
Hyundai has indicated that the new Venue will have a "stronger" body structure, which may target a high BNCAP crash test rating.
Initially, the new Venue will be offered in standard variants, with the Venue N Line range expected to be introduced later.
Mechanically, the next-generation Venue is expected to retain the current model's three engine options: a 122 PS 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, an 84 PS 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, and a 101 PS 1.5-litre diesel.
The base naturally aspirated petrol engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the turbo-petrol is available with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT. The diesel engine is only offered with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The Venue has averaged approximately 7,000-8,000 units per month. The new Venue will continue to compete with models such as the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, and Mahindra XUV 3XO.
