One of the most popular compact SUVs on sale in India could well be ready to receive a facelift in the near future as yet again the refreshed version of the car has been spied overseas. Unlike the model spotted in October which was heavily covered, this example of the Venue facelift only has the camouflage wrap, revealing the fact that Hyundai is almost done working on the car.
Only the rear profile image of the
recently spied Hyundai Venue facelift is available and from the picture, it is
clear that the compact SUV will gain a new set of tail lamps. These lights look
inspired by the LED units found on products from a certain Czech carmaker and
are more sleeker than the stop lights that the current Venue features.
While the tailgate seems to have been
carried forward, the bumper is new and judging by the tail pipes, it is
possible that Hyundai will release an ‘N Line’ variant of the compact SUV in
the future. Also, the alloys look new. Although the front profile image of this
particular model is not available, previously spotted development mules were
featuring a redesigned front end.
Hyundai will give the car a new grille and
restyled DRLs, while the headlight setup will most likely remain as is. Of
course, a restyled front bumper will also be part of the facelift package. Expect
to see some changes made to the interior of the Venue which should be powered
by the same set as powertrains as the current, pre-facelift model, which
comprises a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and
1.5-litre diesel engine options.
The Venue facelift should go on sale in India
sometime next year (the car was originally launched back in May 2019) and will
continue to rival vehicles like the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon,
Mahindra XUV300, Nissan Magnite and the like.
