The all-new VENUE marks the first of 26 new models Hyundai plans to launch in India by 2030, reaffirming its long-term commitment to the market. HMIL recently announced a ₹45,000 crore investment plan by FY30 to fuel its growth vision in India by launching 26 new products, expanding its manufacturing capacity, and enhancing localisation in both production and R&D.

The refreshed VENUE lineup brings a bolder design, smarter connectivity, enhanced safety, and new powertrain options, which is touted to be game-changer in the compact sports utility vehicle (SUV) segment. The sub-4m SUV comes in 17 variants, spread across eight broad trims- HX2, HX4, HX5, HX6, HX6T, HX7, HX8, and HX10.

Built on Hyundai’s enhanced Global K1 platform, the all-new VENUE is taller, wider, and longer than before, offering a more commanding road presence and improved cabin space. It introduces Hyundai’s Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) system powered by NVIDIA, paired with dual 12.3-inch curved panoramic displays, OTA updates for up to 20 controllers, and over 65 advanced safety features—33 of which come standard across all variants.

“The all-new Hyundai VENUE marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter and is the first product to roll out from our state-of-the-art Pune manufacturing plant,” said Unsoo Kim, Managing Director of Hyundai Motor India Limited. “It is also the first among 26 new models we plan to introduce by 2030 as part of our long-term commitment to India.”

Tarun Garg, Whole-Time Director and COO, HMIL, added, “Since its debut in 2019, VENUE has been one of our most successful SUVs, selling over 7 lakh units. With the all-new VENUE and VENUE N Line, we are redefining the compact SUV space with advanced technology, superior safety, and exhilarating performance. The VENUE will now be exclusively manufactured in India for global markets, reinforcing Hyundai’s ‘Make in India for the World’ vision.”
