- 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol making 82hp & 113Nm torque mated to a 5-speed manual
- 1.5L CRDi diesel making 100hp & 240Nm torque mated to a 6-speed manual
- 1.0L GDi Turbo petrol making 120hp & 172Nm torque mated to a 6-speed manual with an optional iMT or 7-speed DCT. Hyundai might carry the engine options forward without any changes for the facelifted Venue. It is expected to arrive sometime in 2022.

Overall the significant changes would be cosmetic and minor feature upgrades. Hyundai will rework the looks altogether, but the previous body design will be carried over. The sharper cuts will offer a sleeker appeal with the boxy side profile.
Facelift for every 2 years has become a norm. Hope event Kia Sonet also sees the face lift.
