The new Hyundai Venue is off to a strong start. Hyundai has confirmed that the compact SUV has already received over 32,000 bookings in a little over a month. Bookings had opened on 24 October, and prices were announced on 4 November. Since then, the numbers have kept rising, which shows how much interest the updated Venue now has.
Hyundai India also reported 66,840 units sold in November 2025, further highlighting the brand’s strong performance in the market — and the new Venue is playing a significant role in this growth.
What’s New Under the Skin?
The latest Venue is built on Hyundai’s Global K1 enhanced platform, which has helped it grow in every key dimension. It is now taller, wider, and carries a longer 2,520mm wheelbase, resulting in better cabin space and a more confident road presence.
It is also the first Hyundai model to be manufactured at the brand’s new Pune plant, forming a key part of Hyundai’s plan to launch 26 new products in India by 2030.
