Which one should you buy?
Even the base variant of the 2026 Hyundai Venue now arrives with a surprisingly generous equipment list, making it a strong contender right from the start. But if you're after the perfect blend of features, performance, and value, the HX5 1.0-litre turbo-petrol is the one to look at. If your budget allows a bit of a stretch, the HX6 variant is worth exploring. It builds on the HX5's solid foundation with a few extra comfort and tech features, though many are reserved for the turbo DCT and diesel automatic trims. Still, for most buyers, the HX5 remains the most balanced choice.

Verdict
The 2026 Hyundai Venue facelift raises the bar in the sub-compact SUV segment with its improved design, advanced tech, and versatile powertrain options. While even the base variant is well-equipped, the HX5 1.0-litre turbo-petrol trim delivers the best mix of features and performance for the money. Those looking for a touch more luxury and convenience can consider the HX6, but for most buyers, the HX5 remains the sweet spot, blending practicality, punch, and polish in true Hyundai fashion.
