India’s automotive scene is buzzing with excitement as two major SUV models gear up for their arrival next month. Hyundai is all set to unveil the refreshed version of its popular Venue, while Tata Motors prepares to revive the legendary Sierra nameplate. These launches promise to shake up the market with fresh designs, advanced tech, and powerful performance options.
Hyundai’s Revamped Venue: A Bigger, Bolder Compact SUV
Hyundai kicks things off early in the month with the new-generation Venue making its debut on November 4. This updated model has grown in size, boasting an increase of 48 mm in height, 30 mm in width, and a 20 mm extension in wheelbase for improved space and presence on the road.
Up front, the SUV sports a sleek dark chrome grille paired with four-beam LED headlights and a seamless horizontal light strip. At the back, a full-span LED tail light and redesigned bumpers add a modern flair. Inside, the cabin embraces Hyundai’s contemporary H-shaped layout, featuring unique stone-inspired patterns and a sophisticated mix of deep blue and soft gray tones.
Tech takes center stage with dual 12.3-inch curved screens powered by NVIDIA technology for seamless connectivity. Owners can enjoy more than 70 smart features, over 400 voice-activated controls in five regional languages, a premium eight-speaker audio system from Bose, and wireless software updates for up to 20 vehicle systems. Reservations are already open via Hyundai’s website and authorized dealers, positioning this SUV as a tech leader in its segment.
Tata’s Sierra Revival: Blending Heritage with Modern Power
Tata Motors follows suit on November 25 with the much-awaited Sierra, marking a departure from initial plans by prioritizing internal combustion engine variants over the electric model. The EV version will arrive later, featuring dual battery packs for a driving range exceeding 500 kilometers, potentially borrowing elements from the upcoming Harrier electric.
For the gasoline and diesel editions, expect a versatile 1.5-liter engine lineup: a standard petrol, a turbocharged direct-injection petrol delivering about 168 horsepower and 280 Nm of torque, and a diesel option. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual or an automatic with torque converter for smooth shifts.
Priced competitively from around Rs 11 lakh to Rs 20 lakh before taxes, the Sierra aims to challenge rivals like the Hyundai Creta. Its styling pays homage to the classic original through elements like rounded rear glass, bold fender flares, and a tall profile, while contemporary touches include divided LED lights, linked LED accents, and large 19-inch wheels.
The interior impresses with a three-screen setupโone each for the instrument cluster, central entertainment, and passenger-side display. A two-color dashboard, steering wheel with a glowing Tata emblem, high-end Harman speakers, mood lighting, a massive sunroof, cordless device charging, and adjustable powered seating elevate the experience.
