Hyundai Venue in short
The second-generation Venue, launched in late 2025, is Hyundai's volume compact SUV against the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon and Kia Sonet. It grew in size and moved decisively upmarket with dual curved displays, Level 2 ADAS and a diesel automatic option. A 5-star Bharat NCAP result finally silences criticism of the old car's safety.

Facelifted in July 2026 with a Rs 7.40 lakh entry price — notably for the new turbo, which Maruti has made the range's entry engine — the Brezza remains Maruti's sub-4-metre SUV workhorse and a perennial top-three seller. The big news is the 1.0L Boosterjet turbo-petrol option (from the Fronx) alongside the familiar 1.5L K15C and a new underbody dual-cylinder CNG kit that frees up boot space, plus front parking sensors, TPMS and Level 1 ADAS features like blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert. It fights the Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Kia Syros and Mahindra XUV 3XO, and its 5-star Bharat NCAP rating and strong resale keep it the segment's safe default.
