Hyundai’s much-awaited Venue facelift is not too far away and unofficial bookings for the compact SUV have begun already. The Venue facelift will feature extensive changes to the exterior and interior. Now, we get to take a closer look at what the Hyundai Venue facelift could look like thanks to a 3D render.
What’s new?
The Venue facelift features a redesigned front fascia which is more in line with Hyundai’s larger SUVs like the Tucson and Palisade. The older grille has been replaced by a square parametric grille which is finished in chrome. The projector headlamps are placed on the lower part of the bumper just like before with the LED DRLs integrated into them. The turn indicators now get a split design.
The side doesn’t see any major changes except the new 16-inch alloy wheels. The rear gets a completely new look thanks to the horizontal LED taillights which are connected by a thin strip. The reversing light is placed lower down and is stacked vertically with the reflector. Other details include silver skid plates for the front and rear, a shark fin antenna, and an electric sunroof.
What to expect
The interiors of the Venue will feature extensive changes too in terms of features and the layout. The current 8-inch screen will be replaced by a 10.25-inch screen. The instrument cluster is expected to be a digital unit as well. Features like a cooled glovebox, keyless entry, push start/stop, cruise control, sunroof, Bluelink connected car tech, automatic climate control, android auto, and apple car play and wireless charging will be retained. The Venue facelift will continue to offer the same powertrain options as before.
The naturally aspirated 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine churns out 83ps and 114nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The 1.5-liter diesel churns out 100ps and 250nm of torque mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The turbocharged 1.0-liter 3-cylinder petrol engine produces 120ps and 172nm of torque. It gets an option of a 6-speed manual, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, and a 6-speed iMT. The Venue facelift could also offer a 6-speed torque converter automatic paired to the 1.5-liter diesel in the 115ps tune.
