New-Gen Hyundai Venue
The third-generation Hyundai Venue is expected to be launched in October 2025. While the mechanical setup will remain the same as the current model, this new version will feature revised styling both inside and outside. Updates may include a newly-designed dashboard, fresh upholstery, a reworked centre console, ambient lighting, and possibly a larger infotainment display. Other features may include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and an enhanced ADAS package. The SUV will continue with its existing engine lineup that includes a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol, 1.0L turbo petrol, and 1.5L diesel.
Hyundai Bayon
The Hyundai Bayon will introduce a new 1.2L TGDi petrol engine developed locally, offering improved torque over the Venue’s 1.0L turbo petrol engine. Despite being smaller in size than the Hyundai Creta, it is expected to be more efficient. Internationally, the Bayon comes equipped with a 10.25-inch infotainment unit, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, and wireless phone charging. In India, it will likely compete with models like the Maruti Fronx.

It may also include a new hybrid powertrain that pairs a 1.5L petrol engine with an electric motor and strong hybrid technology. In addition to this new hybrid option, the model will retain its current engine options – the 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol, 1.4L turbo petrol, and 1.5L turbo diesel units.

The Hyundai Palisade is anticipated to be the brand’s new flagship SUV in India by 2028. This full-size model will likely arrive with Hyundai’s advanced hybrid technology. It may be offered with either a 1.6L or a 2.5L petrol engine, though the Indian market is expected to get the more powerful 2.5L option. This engine will be supported by regenerative braking and V2L (vehicle-to-load) charging capabilities. It is expected to produce up to 334bhp and 460Nm of torque.
These upcoming Hyundai SUVs reflect the brand’s effort to meet the diverse needs of Indian consumers by offering a mix of style, technology, and performance across segments.
