Next-gen Hyundai Venue spotted on road

The next-generation Hyundai Venue small SUV has been photographed overseas in all its uncamouflaged glory, ahead of its official unveiling in just a few weeks.

The Hyundai Venue 2025 is currently one of the most affordable SUVs in Australia, but prices are almost certain to rise, with the all-new compact SUV breaking cover this week, sporting new angles, a refreshed exterior and more tech.

But there’s good and bad news.

The good news is, prices aren’t due to rise dramatically anytime soon, because – and this is the bad news – the images you see here are of a prototype model for the Indian market and the new Venue – which will be sourced direct from Korea – isn’t likely to arrive Down Under for several more years.

Hyundai’s answer to the Mazda CX-3, Toyota Yaris Cross and Kia Stonic – at least for India – will make its global unveiling on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 but we’ve got a pretty good idea of how it’ll shape up, thanks to recent images shared by Korean Car Blog.

The next-gen Hyundai Venue sports a similar front end to the larger Palisade SUV, with a new set of stacked headlights, along with a full-width light bar and fresh bumper and grille.

The rear end also gets a horizontal light bar connecting a new set of taillights, while a new rear bumper features, along with an entirely resculpted body makes the boxy little SUV appear wider at the rear haunches.

It also features new roof rails, body-coloured C-pillar inserts with Venue lettering, and a redesigned boot lid with a more prominent spoiler. The entire package sits on a fresh alloy wheel design.

Inside, a pair of 10.25-inch digital displays feature in what appears to be a more modern-looking cabin, which pairs Hyundai’s latest badge-less steering wheel with a basic cloth interior.

Considering the Venue only touched down in Australia in 2019, the current model is set to continue for a few more years yet, before it’s due for replacement with the second-gen model Venue.

Australian pricing for the 2025 Hyundai Venue rose earlier this year, then again last month, with a current starting price of $23,000 before on-road costs, which sees it continue on as one of the cheapest SUVs in its category.
