The Hyundai Venue made its debut in India in 2019 and quickly became one of the best-selling subcompact SUVs in the country. The Venue was the first car in India to be produced with linked car technology, and its popularity increased as a result of this innovative feature. Due to its modern appearance, well-appointed cabin, and a variety of gearbox-engine combinations, the Hyundai Venue has sold over 3 lakh units in the country since its launch.
However, the Venue is set for a semi update after three years; Hyundai has said that the Venue facelift will be unveiled in India on June 16th. However, the South Korean carmaker has already unveiled many official designs for the new Venue, giving us a good look at the upcoming SUV.
The 2022 Hyundai Venue will have the same design as the current model, according to the sketch. The split headlamp design will remain on the SUV, but it will now be joined by a new dark chrome radiator grille inspired by the new Tucson. The alloy wheels have been redesigned as well, making the new Venue even more modern and attractive than before. However, the most visible change is in the back. A light strip will connect the LED tail lights on the new Hyundai Venue.
The next Venue’s inside is unlikely to change much, but it could get a bigger touchscreen. Another new feature we expect to see on the new Venue is ventilated front seats. This will be in addition to existing equipment such as the BlueLink communication suite, Arkamys sound system, motorised sunroof, automatic air conditioning, wireless phone charging, driver rearview monitor, rear AC vents, and rear parking camera.
The current engine options are expected to be carried over to the Hyundai Venue in 2022. The current Hyundai Venue, for example, comes with a 1.2-litre normally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Only a five-speed manual transmission is offered with the 1.2-litre engine, which delivers 82 horsepower and 115 Nm. The 10-litre turbocharged Hyundai Venue, on the other hand, delivers 118 horsepower and 172 Nm. A six-speed manual transmission, a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission, or an iMT unit are all available with this engine. The Hyundai Venue diesel, on the other hand, comes with a six-speed manual transmission with a power output of 99 horsepower and torque of 240 Nm.
