After numerous spy shots, leaks, and teasers, Hyundai has finally revealed the Venue facelift. Bookings for the Venue facelift have now commenced for an amount of ₹21000. The Venue facelift will launch on the 16th of June and will be offered in up to 5 variants across multiple powertrain options. Hyundai has also revealed some of the new features that will be offered in the new Venue. Let’s take a closer look:
Design
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 The older grille has been replaced by a square parametric grille which is finished in chrome.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. Interestingly, the facelifted Venue doesn’t get fog lamps, unlike the pre-facelift version. 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 LED 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 else do we know?
The new Venue will feature Home to Car with Alexa and Google Voice Assistant wherein users can check the vehicle status and control multiple remote functions from the comfort of their home. The Venue facelift will also feature Eco, Normal, and Sport driving modes. Other expected features are 2 step reclining rear seat and acoustic Sounds of Nature via the infotainment system. The Bluelink connected car technology offers 60+ features and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates. Colour options of the new Venue include Polar White, Typhoon Silver, Phantom Black, Denim Blue, Titan Grey, and Fiery Red. It will also be available in one dual-tone shade of Fiery Red with a Black roof.
