The 2022 Hyundai Venue facelift is all set to go on sale in India today, June 16, 2022. The subcompact SUV has not just been one of the top-selling models in the company's line-up, but also one of the best-selling SUVs in the Indian market. The Venue was first launched in India in 2019 and this is about the right time for a mid-cycle facelift. Now, we already know what the new Hyundai Venue will look like, with the company recently releasing photos of the SUV. However, there is still a lot that is yet to be revealed, and that includes the prices.

Now, the outgoing Hyundai Venue was priced starting from Rs. 7.11 lakh and went up to Rs. 11.84 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). In comparison, we believe the 2022 model will come with a slight bump in the price tag. That's mainly because, in addition to the updated styling, the car will also come with several new and updated features, tech and a slightly more upmarket interior. This will include new stylish exterior lighting, sportier alloys, a smarter-looking cabin and a new, bigger touchscreen infotainment system with more connected car tech. Given all that, we expect the Venue facelift to be priced from Rs. 7.29 lakh, going up to Rs. 12.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
