The Hyundai Venue small SUV is about to get a bold new look, at least according to a series of spy shots from Korean media outlet Autospy. Based on these snaps, it appears that the Hyundai Venue now flaunts a more aggressive look as compared to its facelifted predecessor, which recently made its way here in the Philippines.
One of the most striking changes is found at the rear. Unlike the current venue, which has a set of simple, boxy taillights, the supposed upcoming model adopts a sleeker, more modern look. A full-length LED light bar now sits prominently at the rear, creating a wider and more sophisticated stance. The bumper has also been completely redesigned with a more dynamic shape and diffuser-like lower cladding. These updates give the SUV a sportier and more upscale appearance, aligning it more closely with Hyundai’s other models, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Hyundai Ioniq 9, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Stargazer, and the Hyundai Palisade.
Although Autospy couldn’t capture images of the front, it’s clear that the fascia will undergo major design changes to align with Hyundai’s latest design language. This is proven to be true as per the Hyundai Venue spy shots report by Car Sales, an Australian automotive media entity. These spy shots show the upcoming Hyundai Venue in all its aggressively restyled pre-production glory. It even showed the front and and parts of the interior, suggesting that the Venue is indeed leveled up to spec with the Korean brand’s latest design strategies.
The front end looks sharp, has that familiar face found in models such as the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9, complete with a full length LED light bar and a bumper design that evokes a futuristic touch. In profile, the Venue flaunts a wider rear fender, hinting that it could sport some sportier upgrades that places it within the brand’s N Line models like the Hyundai Elantra N Line. Inside, the Venue shows off a cabin that’s highlighted by a huge LCD screen, which most likely combines the driver instrument cluster and infotainment.
Of note, Hyundai has not released official information about the model’s launch or specifications. However, the level of design shown in these photos suggests a full model change, rather than a refresh. The venue has been in the market since 2019, and a generational update would fit in with Hyundai’s usual product cycle. Plus, the “turbo” badge at the back suggests an update to the powertrain.
With the global demand for small SUVs still growing, the upcoming Venue could play a crucial role in strengthening Hyundai’s position in key markets. The production version is expected to be revealed in the coming months, possibly first in Korea before reaching international markets.
