Top 7 Changes Expected at the Hyundai Venue in 2022
The refreshed Hyundai Venue will make its debut in India around the middle of next month, most likely on June 16. The updated model will have new exterior and interior styling, new features, and minor engine changes. It has already been spotted testing multiple times in India, revealing some of the changes, including the sportier N-Line model. Surprisingly, India will be the first market to get the refreshed Venue.
Ahead of the launch, here are the seven major changes that you can expect onboard:
Exterior Styling
Moving towards the side profile, the updated Venue will just sport new alloys. At the back, it’ll get a redesigned boot lid, a revised bumper and new connected LED tail lights. With these changes, the rear profile will look more modern and sleek.
Interior Styling
The cabin should get subtle changes in form of a revised upholstery and possibly, a new interior colour theme. The overall layout is expected to remain identical to the current model.
New Features
The Hyundai Venue is already one of the most feature-rich offerings in the subcompact SUV segment. However, to up its game, the carmaker could offer more features, at least to keep it in line with feature-rich offerings like the Sonet and Tata Nexon. The refreshed Venue should gain front ventilated seats, a bigger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and premium sound system (possibly Bose) and LED lighting.
New Safety Features
On the safety front, it’s expected to get a 360-degree camera and four airbags (standard), the latter being seen on the Sonet. Moreover, through feature-reshuffling, lower variants could be offered with more safety features.
Engine Specifications
The 2022 Venue should continue with its existing powertrains:
83PS 1.2-litre petrol with 5-speed manual
120PS 1-litre turbo-petrol with 6-speed manual, iMT (clutchless manual) and 7-speed DCT
100PS 1.5-litre diesel engines with 6-speed manual
Hyundai could add the diesel-automatic option here, as seen on the Sonet. The latter gets the same 1.5-litre diesel with a 6-speed automatic, but in a higher 115PS tuning.
The N-Line version
Along with the facelifted Venue, Hyundai has also been testing the SUV’s N-Line version in India. The Venue’s sportier avatar will be the second N Line model in India, after the i20. Just like the hatchback, the Venue N Line could gain sportier exterior styling cues including racier grille and alloys, tweaked bumpers, and exclusive colours. The N Line should deliver the same power figures as of the regular 120PS turbo-petrol variants, but the suspension and steering wheel might be tweaked for a more engaging drive.

Price Difference
The new Venue will demand a premium over its current prices, which starts at Rs 7.11 lakh to Rs 11.83 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). In case of the N Line, the prices could be around Rs 50,000 to a lakh costlier than the Venue.
