Hyundai India has revealed their upcoming facelifted Venue (2026 Model) and it is looking like an major upgrade. The fresh new design along with new color tone and upgraded tech with safety is going to appeal mass population. Bookings are now open on the online Hyundai website and also in the showrooms. Booking amount is 25,000 which is refundable if you cancel it.
Official launch is set on the November 4th, right now no one has seen physical model of this car but official teaser has revealed exterior as well as interior. In this post we are going to compare old model with newer one to get idea of all the new changes.
First impressions — front profile
Look at the front and the facelift makes itself known immediately. The new Venue gets connected LED daytime running lights with integrated turn indicators and full LED headlamps — the whole face looks much cleaner and more premium. The older model had separate square DRLs and projector headlamps, which now feel dated next to this.
Hyundai has redesigned the grille completely. The new variant also adds a front parking camera and front parking sensors — features missing on the old car. Also, new Hyundai Venue 2026 gets level 2 ADAS whereas the old Venue had level one ADAS.
Both year models offers sixteen-inch dual-tone diamond-cut alloys but they are completely different in terms of design and look. We also have to talk about the upgrades done in the braking system. The older model was offering front only disc breaks but new model has high performance disc brakes at all four wheels. So that’s an amazing upgrade that we need to appreciates.
Roof and rear
The ADAS camera in the newer model is placed on the windshield which was absent in older model as it only had level one ADAS. Hyundai has completely changed rear in the new model, you get connected taillight giving it much more modern look.
Common features in both models include:
- Reverse camera,
- Reverse sensors,
- Shark-fin antenna,
- Integrated spoiler,
- High-mounted stop lamp,
- Defogger and rear wiper.
Interiors
the biggest changes in new model is the interior where Hyundai has made the biggest changes. I feel this is the first time Hyundai has thought out of the box. The newer blue and beige color combo in the interior feels much more modern than the old ones black dashboard color. AC vents, trims, and overall layout have been refreshed.
Display and tech
New Venue now has 12.5 inch floating display along with 12.5 inch digital instrument cluster on the facelift. This replaced 8 inch display from the previous model. 360 degree camera given on the new car which i feel need nowadays specially for the parking in tight spaces. Old model did not had this as it only had rear view camera.
New model also get more buttons on the steering wheel as it has adaptive cruise control. There is also addition of dual zone climate control along with wireless charging in the front.
Controls and ergonomics
The facelift now offers multiple drive modes, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, dedicated buttons for the front parking sensors, and a 360° camera toggle, these are features the older Venue did not had.
Safety features
Safety features has got a big boost in the upcoming model. The new Venue offers:
- Six airbags * ABS with EBD * 360° camera plus front and rear parking sensors
- Keyless entry and push start/stop
- Auto-dimming IRVM (day/night)
- Three-point seatbelts all around and ISOFIX child anchors
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC), hill-hold assist, seatbelt pretensioners with load limiters
- Engine immobilizer, reinforced impact beams and anti-theft features
- Multiple drive and traction modes for better control
Hyundai’s facelifted Venue pushes the model forward in practically every area: design, tech, comfort, and safety. If you’re deciding between the two, the facelift gives you a convincingly modern cabin, stronger ADAS, and more everyday conveniences — worth considering if those matter to you.
