Hyundai has now officially confirmed that its second-generation Venue (codename QU2i) will be launched on November 4, 2025. Prior to that debut, our colleagues at ShortsCar captured the vehicle fully undisguised — giving us our clearest look yet at its final design and feature upgrades.
These new images confirm much of what was previously speculated, while adding fresh detail that sharply defines Hyundai’s direction for its compact SUV.
Confirmed Launch Date & Key Announcements
- During Hyundai Motor India’s Investor Day 2025, management confirmed the November 4, 2025 reveal.
- At the same time, they confirmed that the new Venue will include Level-2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and a dual 12.3-inch screen setup (infotainment + digital instrument cluster).
- Production is reported to have commenced at Hyundai’s Talegaon plant in Maharashtra in preparation for the launch.
So the countdown is on — and the spy shots suggest Hyundai is leaving little mystery ahead of reveal day.
What the New Spy Shots Reveal
The newly leaked, undisguised images give us a far more polished and complete look at the Venue’s design changes, interior features, and styling execution. Below are the highlights, updated with fresh visual confirmation:
Exterior: Sharper, More SUV-Oriented Design
- The front end now sports a split headlamp layout: a thin LED strip near the hood line, and vertically stacked quad LED units below.
- The grille has been made bigger, with rectangular insert patterns and a more structured, muscular presence.
- The C-shaped DRLs (daytime running lights) flank the headlights and bring a modern, signature light motif.
- On the side, strong body lines, pronounced wheel arches, new 16-inch alloy wheels (with a sporty / aero look), and a blacked-out C-pillar with silver garnish stand out.
- The rear features a full-width LED light bar connecting split tail lamps, bold dual-tone cladding, L-shaped reflectors, and a sculpted bumper. The “VENUE” name is prominently placed between the tail lamps.
- Some spy images even hint at an N-Line variant spotted undisguised, with sportier touches (more aggressive styling, black accents).
These new images strongly support earlier render predictions — but in actuality, the design seems more refined, with higher emphasis on muscular surfacing and visual contrast.
Interior & Features: Tech, Safety, and Premium Touches
- Interior spy shots confirm the dual 12.3-inch display setup (infotainment + digital instrument cluster) in a curved / integrated layout.
- The cabin design appears cleaner, with horizontal air vents, simplified switchgear (physical buttons replacing many dials), and a more modern dashboard layout.
- Hyundai has confirmed that the new Venue will offer Level-2 ADAS, which includes features such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, etc.
- Over-the-air (OTA) update capability, upgraded body structure, and improved safety features (sensor fusion) are confirmed by Hyundai’s own statements.
- Earlier expectations like ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and a 360° camera remain credible based on earlier spy leaks and render interpretations.
Conclusion
The confirmation of a November 4, 2025 launch date gives the upcoming Venue a clear timetable — and the latest undisguised spy photos strip away much of the mystery. What emerges is a compact SUV recast with sharper styling, more aggressive lines, stronger tech credentials, and a more premium aura.
