The SUV could also get a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment unit and a digital driver’s display.

New-gen Hyundai Venue

The Korean automaker, Hyundai will launch the new generation Venue sub-4 meter SUV on October 24, 2025. The new model has been caught testing numerous times on the Indian roads. Going by the spy images, it is visible that the SUV will receive substantial changes to outside and inside. However, mechanics will remain the same. 

The new Venue will adorn Hyundai’s new design language, featuring horizontally layered rectangular bars in the front instead of mesh-type grille in current car. The SUV gets new C-shaped DRLs, new headlamp set-up and bumper. However, the SUV will retain its boxy design with limited changes to its profile. The rear will have new tailgate, bumper and new tail-lamp cluster. 

The cabin layout is expected to be completely revised, as it is likely to get a larger connected screen for infotainment and driver’s display. The New Hyundai Venue is expected to get a dual-pane sunroof, LEVEL 2 ADAS, front and rear parking sensors, ventilated front and rear seats, and others. Engine option will include a 1.2L petrol, 1.5L diesel and 1.0L turbo petrol. Transmission choices will include a 6-speed manual, 6-speed torque converter and a 7-speed DCT, depending on the engine. 

Tata Sierra EV

Tata Motors will introduce the Sierra EV before festive season Diwali, most probably in October 2025. The new model will come as a lifestyle midsize SUV and will take on the likes of the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6 and others in the category. It will be based on Tata’s Acti.ev 2nd gen platform, which also underpins the Punch EV and Curvv EV. 

The Tata Sierra EV will measure around 4.3 meters in length. With bolder looks and squarish design, the new model will have a strong road presence. The electric SUV will also mark the debut of triple screen dashboard for Tata Motors. The SUV will be offered as a 5-seater model, but a 4-seater Lounge version could also join the line-up. 

The Tata Sierra EV will most likely to be a front-wheel-drive SUV with a front-axle-mounted electric motor; however, Tata could offer an AWD set-up. It is likely to share the battery options with the Harrier EV, which is available with 65kWh and 75kWh batteries. The SUV should offer a realistic range of up to 500km in a single charge.
