The sub-compact SUV segment just got a serious wake-up call. Hyundai Motor India has officially rolled out the 2026 Hyundai Venue, and it isn’t just a minor facelift.
Whether you are looking for the latest price list or the specific features of the new HX trim levels, here is everything you need to know about the 2026 Hyundai Venue.
The 2026 Venue has grown in all the right places. It is now 30mm wider and 48mm taller than its predecessor, providing a much-needed boost to its road presence and cabin shoulder room.
Front Facade: A new Dark Chrome radiator grille flanked by Quad Beam LED headlamps and Twin Horn LED DRLs.
Rear Profile: Horizon LED tail lamps and a wing-type spoiler give it a futuristic, "mini-Palisade" vibe.
Wheels: New 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels (on higher trims) replace the older 16-inch units.
Hyundai has scrapped the old E, S, and SX naming convention.

The biggest mechanical news for 2026 is the 1.5L U2 CRDi Diesel engine paired with a 6-speed Automatic transmission.
1.2L Kappa Petrol: 83 PS / 114.7 Nm (5-speed MT)
1.0L Turbo Petrol: 120 PS / 172 Nm (6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT)
1.5L Diesel: 116 PS / 250 Nm (6-speed MT / 6-speed AT)
Inside, the black-and-beige cabin has been replaced by a premium Dark Navy and Dove Grey theme.
Dual 12.3-inch Screens: A curved panoramic display houses both the instrument cluster and the infotainment system.
SmartSense Level 2 ADAS: Includes 16 features like Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Comfort: 4-way powered driver seat, front ventilated seats, and a 2-step reclining rear seat.
Following a recent price adjustment in March 2026, the Venue starts at an attractive entry point, though top-end variants reflect the premium tech additions.
Starting Price: ₹7.99 Lakh (Ex-showroom)
Top-End Diesel AT: ₹15.51 Lakh (Ex-showroom)
Note: Hyundai has announced a further 1% price hike across all models effective May 1, 2026, due to rising input costs.
With a 5-Star BNCAP safety rating and the inclusion of premium features like a Bose 8-speaker system and 360-degree camera, the 2026 Hyundai Venue is no longer just a budget SUV.
