Hyundai Venue Variant-Wise Engine Details: The upcoming 2025 Hyundai Venue has created massive buzz just days before its official launch. A new internal document leak has revealed the complete variant-wise engine combinations and transmission options of Hyundai’s compact SUV.
The Venue, one of India’s best-selling SUVs, will now adopt the new HX-series nomenclature (HX2 to HX10) and bring major updates to its engines, design, and overall features.
Hyundai Venue 2025 Variant Line-Up
With the 2026 Hyundai Venue, Hyundai has completely revamped its trim hierarchy under the new HX-series banner. The lineup now starts from HX2, followed by HX4, HX5, HX6, HX6T, HX7, HX8, and HX10.
Interestingly, the numbers 3 and 9 are missing, as Hyundai has deliberately skipped these positions to maintain clear segmentation between entry, mid, and top trims. The “HX” prefix stands for Hyundai Xperience, symbolizing the brand’s refreshed design language and technology-driven product philosophy.
Bookings for the new Venue are now open for a token amount of ₹25,000, both at Hyundai dealerships and through the brand’s official online platform.
The new HX-series structure not only simplifies the variant lineup but also introduces new powertrain flexibility, including the confirmed 1.5-litre diesel automatic (AT) — as the diesel engine was previously offered only with a manual transmission.
