2. Engines, transmissions & performance

- 1.0-litre turbo petrol (118 bhp approx) CarWale+1
- 1.5-litre diesel option is also mentioned (in select cases) The Daily Jagran+1
- Transmission choices include manual, DCT (for turbo petrol), and automatic (for diesel in some trims) depending on the engine. CarDekho+1

3. Dimensions & practicality
- With the increased size compared to the previous model, there’s more space inside, and the broader stance gives a stronger road presence. CarWale+1
- Given it’s still in the sub-compact SUV category, rear shoulder space (for three across) may still be a constraint. (This comes from market commentary.) CarWale
4. Features & safety
- The base variant gets some strong kit: 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, all four power windows, rear AC vents, type-C USB ports for front and rear, etc. CarDekho+1
- Safety is well catered for: six airbags, ESC (electronic stability control), hill start assist, ISOFIX child seat anchorages. CarDekho+1
- Advanced driver assistance (ADAS) features are also mentioned in higher trims or special variants. Navbharat Times+1
5. Price & variants (India)
- The Venue 2025 has launched in India starting at ₹ 7.89 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base HX2 variant. The Economic Times+1
- Some of the early variant pricing: HX4 at ~₹ 8.80 lakh, HX5 at ~₹ 9.15 lakh. Hindustan Times+1
- Top variants with more features, higher trims will cost higher (up to ~₹ 15 lakh ex-showroom depending on engine/gearbox). CarWale+1
6. How it compares & where it fits
- The Venue targets the compact SUV / sub-4 metre SUV market in India. Competes with vehicles like the Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Brezza etc. Autocar India+1
- Its strengths lie in offering premium features, strong brand backing, and updated design all at a competitive price.
- Some of the trade-offs: rear seat width may still be less than ideal for three adults, and the diesel automatic variant may not deliver the best fuel-economy compared to simpler manual/NA petrol options. CarWale
7. Should you consider it?
If you’re looking for a compact SUV in India that provides:
- modern design inside & out,
- credible engines (especially if you go turbo petrol or diesel),
- good technology & safety features even in lower trims,
- a strong value proposition starting under ₹ 10 lakh for many variants —
then the 2025 Hyundai Venue is a strong option.
On the flip side, if your priorities are rear-seat space for three adult passengers consistently, or ultra-high fuel economy with minimal maintenance, you might want to compare with some rivals or consider simpler engine/gearbox combos.
