Being from the same Hyundai-Kia family, the 2025 Venue will come with the same 1-litre turbo-petrol engine and manual as well as automatic gearbox choices as the Sonet and Syros. On the other hand, the Sonet misses out on a proper manual gearbox and is only available with the choice of a 6-speed iMT gearbox among the trio.
-
The Tata Nexon and Mahindra XUV 3XO get a slightly larger capacity 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine here. It’s Tata who is offering a buffet of transmission choices with the turbo-petrol unit and it’s also the only carmaker to provide a CNG option with the turbo-petrol engine here.
-
When it comes to performance, the Mahindra XUV 3XO – with its relatively newer 1.2-litre T-GDI turbo-petrol engine – takes the lead as it makes the maximum power and torque of all SUVs in this comparison.
- In case, if you’re confused between the 2025 Hyundai Venue and the Maruti Brezza, this detailed spec comparison will help you figure out which one fits your needs better.

More About The 2025 Hyundai Venue
Hyundai will sell the second-gen Venue in eight broad variants: HX 2, HX 4, HX 5, HX 6, HX 6T, HX 7, HX 8, and HX 10. However, the Korean carmaker has yet to disclose the entire variant-wise features list of the new SUV. That said, some key equipment on board includes dual 12.3-inch screens (one for instrumentation and the other for infotainment), ventilated front seats, a single-pane sunroof, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Its safety net comprises six airbags (as standard), all-four disc brakes, a 360-degree camera, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and Level-2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Alongside the turbo-petrol engine, the new Venue will also be offered with the same 1.2-litre naturally aspirated (N/A) unit and the 1.5-litre diesel engine as the outgoing model. While the transmission options remain unchanged for the 1.2-litre petrol engine, the diesel now gets the Kia Sonet’s 6-speed AT as well.
