Hyundai Motor India is betting big on the third-generation Venue to revive its position in the competitive subcompact SUV segment. The all-new model is likely to feature a larger and revised front grille with new inserts, new DRLs and taillamps, redesigned bumpers and new dual-tone alloy wheels. Inside, the 2025 Hyundai Venue might feature a newly-designed dashboard with new upholstery and trims, and a revised centre console along with a bunch of new features. Mechanically, the all-new Venue is likely to remain unchanged.

The all-new Tata Sierra is one of the biggest new SUV launches of this year. The model will be offered with three engine options – petrol, diesel and electric. The petrol version will initially be introduced with a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine, which will be followed by a 1.5L turbo petrol engine. The electric iteration is expected to source the 65kWh battery with single motor and 75kWh battery with dual-motor powertrain options from the Harrier EV.
