Hyundai has officially unveiled the first images of the new-generation Venue, ahead of its global debut on November 4, 2025.
The 2026 Hyundai Venue is built on a new platform, with increased dimensions in length, width, and height compared to its predecessor. This transformation gives the Venue a more robust, SUV-like appearance, moving away from its previous crossover-inspired design.
The front fascia stands out with a dark chrome-finished grille and modern Quad Beam LED headlights. The distinctive Twin Horn LED daytime running lights stretch across the front, enhancing visibility and making the Venue instantly recognizable on the road. The body features muscular wheel arches, dark cladding, and sharp character lines—elements commonly found on larger Hyundai SUVs like the Tucson and Santa Fe.
Inside, the 2026 Hyundai Venue impresses with a seamless 12.3-inch dual curved display, combining a digital instrument cluster and an integrated infotainment screen. This upgrade significantly elevates the Venue’s interior, bringing it closer to the premium SUV experience within Hyundai’s lineup.
The cabin features a sophisticated two-tone Dark Navy and Dove Grey color scheme, premium soft-touch materials, and ambient lighting, creating an upscale and refined atmosphere. The rear seats are now reclinable, ensuring greater comfort for passengers on extended journeys.
Hyundai has also enhanced sound insulation and the air conditioning system, while adding more practical storage solutions throughout the cabin, catering to young, functionality-focused customers.
The 2026 Venue offers versatility with three engine options. The standard 1.2L gasoline engine prioritizes smooth urban driving and fuel efficiency. For a sportier driving experience, the 1.0L T-GDi turbocharged engine delivers quick throttle response and robust torque. Additionally, the 1.5L CRDi diesel engine remains an option, ideal for long-distance travel with its exceptional fuel economy and high torque output.
These engines are paired with manual, automatic, or dual-clutch transmissions, depending on the variant and market. The steering and suspension systems have been refined for improved high-speed stability while maintaining agility in city driving.
A notable innovation is Hyundai’s introduction of the “Hyundai Experience (HX)” version structure, allowing customers to easily select equipment packages tailored to their preferences. This approach mirrors the personalization philosophy of European automakers, enabling buyers to choose between luxury, sporty, or tech-focused configurations without upgrading to a higher trim level.
