Hyundai, the popular South Korean carmaker, is gearing up to introduce a range of new vehicles in India over the next 8 to 12 months. From refreshed designs to cutting-edge technology, these upcoming models promise to elevate the driving experience. Recently, several test vehicles were spotted across India, giving us a sneak peek into whatโs coming. Letโs dive into the details of these four highly anticipated Hyundai cars.
1. Next-Generation Hyundai Venue
Hyundai is preparing to launch the all-new Venue compact SUV on October 24, 2025. Spotted testing under heavy and partial camouflage, this redesigned model is set to make a bold statement. The new Venue will feature a striking exterior, a revamped interior, and a host of modern features. One of the highlights is the inclusion of Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), offering enhanced safety with features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist.
The powertrain lineup is expected to remain similar to the current model, including a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.0L turbo petrol, and a 1.5L diesel engine. Transmission options will likely include manual and automatic choices, with rumors suggesting Hyundai may introduce an Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) for the diesel variant. This SUV will compete with rivals like the Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, Skoda Kylaq, and Tata Nexon.
2. Hyundai i20 Facelift 2026
The Hyundai i20 is due for a significant update, with test models recently seen in Gurgaon, Haryana. Expected to hit showrooms by mid-2026, the facelifted i20 will bring a fresh look and upgraded features. Unlike the current model launched in 2022, the new version will sport a modernized design, though test vehicles lacked roof rails, hinting at subtle styling changes.
Inside, the i20 is likely to feature a premium 12.3-inch dual-screen setup, combining a digital driverโs display and a touchscreen infotainment system. It may also include a Level 1 ADAS package and a 360-degree camera for added safety. The engines are expected to remain unchanged, offering the same reliable performance as the current model. The i20 will go head-to-head with the recently updated Tata Altroz, aiming to capture the premium hatchback market.
3. Hyundai Verna Facelift 2026
Hyundai is working on a mid-cycle refresh for the Verna sedan, which debuted in March 2023. Test vehicles were recently spotted near Hyundaiโs Chennai factory, revealing minor design tweaks. Expect a refreshed front grille, updated bumpers, and stylish new alloy wheels to enhance its appeal. These subtle changes aim to keep the Verna competitive against rivals like the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus.
The cabin is set to receive significant upgrades, including a possible 12.3-inch dual-screen setup for the infotainment and driverโs display. Hyundai may also introduce ventilated rear seats for added comfort, making the Verna a more premium offering. The engine and transmission options are expected to remain the same, ensuring the sedanโs proven performance remains intact.
4. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Facelift
The Hyundai Ioniq 5, the brandโs flagship electric vehicle in India, is slated for a facelift by early 2026. Already unveiled globally, the updated Ioniq 5 will bring refreshed styling, improved comfort features, and an extended driving range. With a larger battery pack, the electric sedan is expected to deliver over 500 km on a single charge, making it a strong contender in the premium EV segment.
The Ioniq 5 facelift will build on the success of the current model, launched in February 2023, and compete with other electric vehicles in India. It will sit above the upcoming Creta EV in Hyundaiโs electric lineup, offering a blend of luxury, performance, and sustainability.
