The facelifted Hyundai Venue’s exterior styling has been leaked via a 3D model configuration. The unofficial bookings for the SUV are already open and the prices will be announced on June 16.
The 2022 Venue’s front profile is inspired by the new generation Tucson, which will be launched in India this year. In these leaked 3D model photos, you can see the ‘Parametric Jewel’ grille, but with the same split headlight setup. However, the upper portion of the headlight has been replaced by sleeker lamps.
Also refreshed is the front bumper that is upright and gets a more simplistic look. The side profile remains largely unchanged, save for the slightly tweaked 16-inch alloys. The more prominent rear profile gets connected LED taillights and a restyled bumper. While the changes are quite significant, the overall boxy silhouette of the SUV remains unchanged.
Hyundai is also expected to offer minor revisions inside in the form of a revised upholstery and (maybe) a redesigned centre console. The 2022 Venue will sport new features such as full LED lighting, a bigger 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, a premium sound system (possibly Bose), front ventilated seats, and four airbags (standard).
What is likely not to change is the subcompact SUV’s engine and transmission options. The engine choices will include an 83PS 1.2-litre petrol with a 5-speed manual, a 100PS 1.5-litre diesel with a 6-speed manual, and a 120PS 1-litre turbo-petrol with a 6-speed manual, 6-speed iMT (clutchless manual), and a 7-speed DCT. Hyundai might also introduce the diesel-automatic option, which is seen on the Kia Sonet. With the facelifted Venue, we’re also getting the second N Line model for India.
