Upcoming Hyundai Venue Spotted Testing Ahead Of Launch, Again
Hyundai is putting its all into the testing of the next-gen Venue. By now, the SUV has been spotted testing on multiple occasions, and the sightings continue. In the latest spy shots, the SUV has been spotted testing at night and seems to be in its production-ready form. Based on the pictures, this iteration of the vehicle is expected to bring cosmetic changes with an extended list of features. Meanwhile, the powertrain will likely be carried forward from its predecessor.
In terms of appearance, the new Hyundai Venue seems to be following in the footsteps of its siblings. The brand has used a design language similar to its global portfolio. Similar to what we saw on the Creta and the Alcazar. This will be seen in the form of the presence of L-shaped LED DRLs and rectangular headlights with dual-chamber LED reflectors.
The rear end of the vehicle has also been revamped with a new design for the tail lamp, which is a pattern very similar to the front end. While the bumpers and the rest of the body is covered in camouflage. These are expected to have some changes. However, the SUV maintains its silhouette. It will also carry new alloy wheels as part of the updates.
The interior of the Venue is expected to feature an updated dashboard, redesigned center console, new seat upholstery, and enhanced ambient lighting options. To improve comfort, front ventilated seats may be included in the feature list.
Existing elements from the current Venue, such as connected Bluelink features, voice recognition, and Alexa compatibility, will be retained. Emphasis on safety will remain a top priority, highlighted by features like six airbags, electronic stability control, hill assist, and Level-1 ADAS.
In terms of performance, the Venue will maintain its current engine options, including the 1.2L petrol, 1.0L turbo petrol, and 1.5L diesel engines. The new-generation Venue will go up against competitors like the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV3XO, Skoda Kushaq, and Toyota Hyryder.

India's EV growth is significantly lower than top 10 countries
India's electric vehicle (EV) growth is significantly slower than the top 10 global standouts, according to a recent report by Intelsense. As per the FY24 figure, the EV growth in India was 27 per cent (YoY), significantly slower than the top 10 global standouts. India's EV Market Share was about 2-3 per cent of new car sales in 2024, well below the 5 per cent average of the top 10 nations. However, the report adds, India although not in top 10 in terms of growth globally but it falls just outside the top 10, and is the fastest-growing major large market. At current pace, India ranks 11-12th globally, trailing emerging leaders like Thailand, Vietnam, and Mexico. Penetration of EV remains significantly lower compared to top 10 nations, a factor that could hinder the country's aspiration of achieving a 30 per cent EV market share by 2030. However, the reports also mention about the India is making strides towards its 2030 goal, with a steady increase in EV registrations and charging infrastructure. EV sales in India rose 27 per cent to reach 1.94 million units in 2024, mainly driven by two-wheelers and three-wheelers, which account for the bigger share of the market. In the four-wheeler segment and passenger vehicle , Tata Motors , Hyundai, Mahindra and MG are the top players in the Indian market. However, they have not met the expectations in terms of increased market share of new 4-wheelers along with EV infrastructure like battery and charging stations. Hero, Ola and TVS dominate the two-wheeler and three-wheeler segment in the EV sector. The report suggests that, India's growth in the EV sector remains strong in absolute numbers, but there is a need to accelerate more to reach tipping points. One of the major problems faced by India is that there is about 95-100 per cent reliance on China and other East Asian countries like South Korea and Japan for critical EV battery materials. In order to deal with this, India is working towards the search of lithium Reserves. As of now, 5.9 million tonnes of lithium inferred in Reasi, J&K, which is one of the top 10 global reserves by quantity. There are Additional geological finds in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, and Rajasthan as well. Additionally, there are various home grown Refining Projects such Lohum commissioned India's first battery-grade lithium refinery (1,000 tpa) in March 2025. Along with, Vardhaan Lithium partnering with Maharashtra govt to build a 60,000 tpa refinery near Nagpur (Butibori).
