The next generation Hyundai Venue has been spied on in South Korea for the first time. The spy shots capture the second generation Hyundai Venuefully-camouflaged. Nonetheless, plenty of details have been garnered about the upcoming subcompact SUV which is expected to be launched in 2025.

Internally codenamed asQU2i, the second generation Hyundai Venue has undergone a complete change as compared to the current model. The front grille has undergone a complete transformation, now featuring cuboid-shaped inserts. This new grille is complemented by a split lighting arrangement, with rectangular LED headlights integrated into the bumper and tri-LED daytime running lights (DRLs) positioned above.

The front bumper has also been altered to include a new air dam, contributing to a slightly more dynamic appearance. Along the sides, the Venue will roll on 16-inch machine-cut alloy wheels, wrapped in MRF tires for a balanced mix of performance and durability. These updates, while subtle, add to the overall stance of the vehicle without being overly aggressive.

At the rear, the Hyundai Venue will feature sleek wraparound LED tail lights, further enhancing its modern design language. The upright pillars remain a distinctive feature, giving the SUV a taller and more upright stance, which may appeal to those looking for a more commanding presence on the road. While details remain unclear, it is likely that the rear bumper will also receive some design adjustments to align with the overall refresh of the vehicle.

While exact details on the interior upgrades are still limited, it is expected that the new Venue will include a range of modern gadgets and enhancements aimed at keeping up with the rapidly evolving compact SUV market.
