The second generation Hyundai Venue, which is expected to be launched sometime in the second half of 2025, was earlier spotted being tested in South Korea. Now though, the sportier version of the upcoming sub compact SUV, the second gen Venue N Line has been spotted testing in South Korea. This version is expected to arrive at a later date after the standard model.
The Venue N Line has always been positioned as the performance-inspired version of Hyundai's popular sub compact SUV. For the next-gen model, Hyundai seems to be sticking to that formula with some noticeable updates. Though the test mule was heavily camouflaged, tell-tale signs like red accents on the side moulding and roof rails suggest a more aggressive styling package.

Expect a redesigned front grille and new alloy wheels, this time wearing the N badge instead of the Hyundai logo. The rear is also expected to get red trim on the bumper, in addition to the usual dual-exhaust setup that has been inherited from the existing model.
Inside, the N Line will probably persist with red highlights and contrast stitching to further portray its sporty image. Hyundai will also likely fine-tune mechanical bits like suspension and brakes to provide a more taut driving experience.
The powertrain of the new Venue N Line is also likely to remain the same. It will be powered by the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, which produces 120 PS and 172 Nm, coupled with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT transmission. (힐러 Healer TV/YT) Second gen Hyundai Venue N Line: Expected features
The next-generation Venue is likely to bring a bunch of feature updates, most of which will be made available on the N Line too. Among the expected updates is possibly the addition of Level-2 ADAS, an improvement over the present camera-based Level-1 system. Spy photos have already displayed a test vehicle with a front radar module, suggesting features such as blind spot avoidance, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

Rallying-Ogier edges Tanak to win in Sardinia, Evans stays top

-Sebastien Ogier clinched a record fifth Rally Italy victory on Sunday, fending off Hyundai's Ott Tanak by 7.9 seconds after a tense final stage in Sardinia, while Toyota teammate Elfyn Evans stayed top of the championship standings. Ogier, with co-driver Vincent Landais, completed the sixth round of the season in three hours 34 minutes and 24.5 seconds to secure the Frenchman's third win in four starts in a part-time campaign. The eight-times world champion was beaten by Tanak on the island last year by 0.2 seconds after a final-stage puncture but this time Ogier stayed composed and took the win despite a late wobble. Ogier had built a 17.1-second cushion heading into the Wolf Power Stage, but the 41-year-old overshot a tight, rutted corner in the final kilometres. This forced him to stop and reverse after his car refused to turn, cutting his advantage by more than half in a tense finale. "In the ruts, I just couldn't turn the car," Ogier explained. "There was no speed at all, so I didn't try to force it and hit it - I preferred to stop and reverse. But yeah, not ideal. Still, it was enough to win." The victory follows hot on the heels of his Rally Portugal triumph and sent Ogier second in the championship with 114 points to Evans' 133. Toyota, who have won every rally so far this year, also tightened their grip on the manufacturers' race with 312 points to Hyundai's 243. "There are many places I've won several times," said Ogier. "It's just a type of rally I like, where precise driving is needed, but also smoothness for tyre management. Thanks to the team, great turnaround after Portugal in terms of speed and set-up, so good job." Tanak pushed hard in the final stage but fell short, while Kalle Rovanpera, clawing his way up from fifth during Saturday's stages, completed a double podium for Toyota in third, 50.5 seconds behind Ogier. The Finn dropped to third overall, one point behind Ogier, with Tanak fourth on 108. Evans and Takamoto Katsuta rounded out a strong showing for Toyota, taking fourth and fifth respectively. Hyundai's reigning champion Thierry Neuville, fifth in the championship on 83 points, took four points from the Power Stage and one from the 'Super Sunday' format after returning following Friday's retirement. The next round is in Greece on June 26-29.

Hyundai Motor India is now planning to bring out the updated iteration of the Venue in India.

The fully camouflaged version of the Hyundai Venue also suggests some of the exterior design cues and updates. 2026 Hyundai Venue: Exterior Expected The 2026 Hyundai Venue has been snapped testing in India. The test mule suggests that most of the exterior design elements have been borrowed from the Hyundai Exter SUV, currently on sale. The 2026 Hyundai Venue test vehicle suggests that it gets a large center grille, and vertically-stacked rectangular headlamps with a dual-chamber LED reflector. It gets an inverted L-shaped DRL on the side. Another similar element is the presence of an LED strip covering the width of the vehicle. The side and rear profiles of the updated Hyundai Venue are the same, with no major changes. 2026 Hyundai Venue: Interior Expected The exact interior specs and details of the Hyundai Venue will be revealed as the launch gets closer. However, we can expect it to get a 10.2-inch infotainment screen, enabled with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 10.2-inch TFT instrument cluster, ventilated seats, auto climate control, panoramic sunroof, powered driver's seat, and more. The safety suite of the 2026 Hyundai Venue is also expected to be updated with a set of Level 2 ADAS features. 2026 Hyundai Venue: Powertrain Expected The 2026 Hyundai Venue is likely to retain the same engine options as seen in the current models on sale. It is expected to get a 1.5-liter turbo diesel, a 1.0-liter turbo petrol, and a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, as options.

Maruti Suzuki expects 20% export growth in FY26, Hyundai bullish about single-digit growth

Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai are expecting upbeat export performance in FY26. Check Offers Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki, two leading car manufacturers in the Indian passenger vehicle market, are expecting robust growth in export volumes in FY26. Both these car manufacturers expect healthy growth in overseas shipments in the current financial year amid the challenging business environment in the domestic market. PTI has reported that Maruti Suzuki is bullish about achieving around 20 per cent export growth in FY26, while Hyundai is expecting a single-digit growth in overseas shipments this fiscal. Maruti Suzuki aims for 20% export growth in FY26 Speaking about Maruti Suzuki's export shipment expectation, MSI Senior Executive Officer (Corporate Affairs) Rahul Bharti said that the auto company aims to sell four lakh units in export markets in this fiscal. "Our target for this year (FY26) is at least four lakh units, which implies growth of at least 20 per cent over FY25," he said. He said the company's exports are fairly diversified, with a presence in about 100 countries. "Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia are our big markets. We have entered Japan recently, and it has quickly sprung up to the second most popular destination on the back of just two models, the Fronx and the Jimny," Bharti added. The key official also said that once the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara is launched, which is going to be the first-ever electric car of the brand, the overall export volume of the company will further shore up. Maruti Suzuki has already stated that the e-Vitara electric SUV will be shipped to overseas markets alongside being sold in the Indian market. "We do think that our market share in exports will grow this year. We are already at 43 per cent and the golden mark of 50 per cent is close," Bharti further stated. Last fiscal year, Maruti Suzuki reported record exports of 3,32,585 units, a growth of 17.5 per cent over FY24. The auto major had exported 2,83,067 units in the 2023-24 fiscal year. The company accounted for nearly 43 per cent of the country's total passenger vehicle exports last fiscal year. Fronx, Jimny, Baleno, Swift, and Dzire were the highest exported models in 2024-25, while South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Japan, and Mexico were the top five markets. Hyundai hopeful about single-digit export growth in FY26 Hyundai is expecting to record a single-digit growth in its export numbers from India. Speaking about this, Hyundai Motor India Managing Director Unsoo Kim said that the company is aiming to become the Hyundai group's largest export hub outside South Korea. "We aspire to continue our growth trajectory in exports in the coming years," he said, while also adding that exports have gained strong momentum in recent months, and the automaker aims to sustain this trajectory going forward. "For FY26, we anticipate the growth in export volumes to be around 7-8 per cent, supported by robust demand for our products in the emerging markets," Kim stated. Hyundai Motor India exported 1,63,386 vehicles in FY25 as compared with 1,63,155 units in FY24. Commenting on the business outlook for the domestic market, Kim said, 'For financial year FY26, our endeavour is to grow broadly in line with the industry, driven by our strong SUVization and premiumisation strategy along with focus on rural markets, among others."
