2026 Hyundai Venue N Line Spied – Sportier Design, More Features

Hyundai is preparing to update its compact SUV lineup with the arrival of the new-generation Venue and its N Line variant. Recently spotted on test in South Korea, the 2026 Hyundai Venue N Line appears to carry forward its sporty positioning with subtle design changes, improved features, and expected mechanical enhancements.

Design and Exterior Updates

Drawing visual inspiration from the Creta N Line and Exter, the upcoming Venue N Line is expected to feature a redesigned grille, sharper air intakes, and Hyundai’s signature N Line red accents on the front, side, and rear. Spy shots reveal newly designed alloy wheels, red brake calipers, squared-off wheel arches, and sleeker ORVMs. Key elements like blacked-out A and B pillars and traditional door handles remain unchanged.

Interior and Features

Interior upgrades are set to include a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster of the same size. Ventilated front seats may also be introduced. Familiar N Line interior highlights such as leatherette seats with red stitching, sporty metal pedals, N-badged steering wheel, and red ambient lighting are expected to be retained.

Performance and Mechanical Specs

The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is likely to be carried over, producing 120 PS and 172 Nm of torque, paired with 6-speed manual and 7-speed DCT transmission options. The 2026 model may continue to offer retuned suspension, sharper steering, all-wheel disc brakes, and a dual-tip exhaust for a sportier driving experience. There is also a possibility of upgraded ADAS, potentially moving from Level 1 to Level 2.

Launch Timeline

The standard new-gen Venue is expected to launch by late 2025 or early 2026, followed by the N Line variant later in the year.
