2022 Hyundai Venue facelift to launch in India in June
In June, Hyundai India is expected to launch the mid-life facelift for the Hyundai Venue sub-four-metre SUV. The Hyundai Venue was launched in India in 2019 and has seen its segment expand since then to include an offering from most mainstream car-makers. With this update, the Venue will get new styling to match the latest Hyundai design themes and will also get more tech and features to better match the competition. Another notable addition will be that of a driver-focused N-Line variant.

The new slatted design seems to have been inspired by the latest-gen Hyundai Tucson and is also seen on the facelifted Hyundai Creta that debuted in Indonesia recently. The headlamps may also be reworked to be full LEDs while the front air dam also seems to have been enlarged to go with the new look.
The side profile remains largely unchanged except for a new design to the alloy wheels. The rear, on the other hand, seems to have been significantly revised. The simple taillamp unit has evolved into a two-piece LED design while the boot lid now gets a slight brow below the rear windscreen to meld with the new look. The bumpers seem to have been reworked as well, with a distinct ridged reflector unit and differently styled faux diffuser.
