Korean automaker, Hyundai is preparing to launch 4 new models in the Indian market this year. The company will launch the new-gen Tucson and the facelifted Venue, Creta and the Kona EV in the country. Hyundai is currently testing the updated version of the Venue sub-4 meter SUV that has already been spotted testing multiple times.
The 2022 Hyundai Venue facelift is expected to be launched before the Creta facelift. It is most likely to be launched in the mid-2022, most probably around June-July. The new model will come with significantly revised styling, which is evident from the spy images.
The 2022 Hyundai Venue will receive the brand’s new design language, which we have already seen on the Creta facelift and the new Tucson. The SUV will have Tucson-like parametric front grille and rectangular shaped headlamp unit placed lower on the front bumper. The LED DRLs (Daytime Running Lamps) are expected to look like new Creta. The LED DRls will look like a part of grille.
The projector headlamp design, air-dam and round fog lamp housing along with faux skid plate are likely to remain the same; however, Hyundai could alter the bumper design to keep things fresh. The overall shape of the Venue facelift will remain identical to the existing model. It is likely to retain the powered ORVMs with integrated blinkers, and blacked-out pillars.
The new Venue is likely to get newly designed alloy wheels. It is likely to get a new tailgate and a completely re-designed LED tail-lights. There could be a thin chrome bar that connects the new tail-lights. The company is also likely to introduce the Venue N-Line, which will have a sportier double-barrel exhaust.
The 2022 Hyundai Venue cabin is likely to receive minor changes. It could get new colour scheme and upholstery along with an updated infotainment system and new BlueLink connected car tech. The SUV likely to retain the existing engine set-up comprising a 83bhp/113Nm, 1.2L NA petrol, a 118bhp/175Nm, 1.0L turbocharged petrol and a 99bhp/240Nm, 1.5L turbo-diesel.
Transmission choices include a 5-speed MT with 1.2L petrol, a 6-speed MT as standard, an iMT and 7-speed DCT with 1.0L turbo-unit. Similar to the Sonet, the Venue diesel could also receive an automatic gearbox option. With 6AT, this engine should offer 113bhp and 250Nm of torque.
