New compact crossover combines bold design, smart technology, everyday practicality and advanced safety for Saudi drivers
Riyadh, August 24, 2026: Wallan Trading Company, the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles across the Central and Northern regions of Saudi Arabia, has introduced the new Hyundai Venue to the Kingdom, bringing a compact crossover designed to balance distinctive styling, intelligent technology and practical everyday mobility.
The new Venue was unveiled at a special launch event held on Saturday, August 22, at the InterContinental Durrat Al Riyadh Resort. The occasion brought together company representatives, customers and Hyundai enthusiasts to mark the arrival of the latest addition to Hyundai’s growing portfolio in the Saudi market.
With the compact SUV segment continuing to appeal to drivers seeking versatility without compromising on technology or comfort, the new Venue is positioned as an accessible and contemporary choice for urban lifestyles. Offered across multiple trims and configurations, the model combines Hyundai’s modern design language with a broad range of convenience, connectivity and comfort features.
Designed for Modern Urban Life
The new Hyundai Venue makes a strong first impression through a bold exterior that gives the compact crossover a confident presence on the road. Dual front LED daytime running lights and LED rear lamps contribute to its contemporary character, while its compact dimensions make it well suited to navigating busy city environments.
Inside, the Venue focuses on creating a practical and comfortable environment for both everyday commutes and longer journeys. Depending on the selected trim, customers can access features such as leatherette seating, electronic climate control and wireless smartphone charging, bringing added convenience to the cabin.
Technology is also central to the Venue experience. Available features include a 12.3-inch navigation and infotainment display, smart key functionality with remote start, cruise control, selectable drive modes and an electric sunroof, giving drivers a range of tools designed to make everyday journeys more convenient and connected.
Responsive Performance for Everyday Driving
Under the hood, the new Hyundai Venue is powered by a 1.0-litre T-GDI engine producing 120 horsepower and 175 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and front-wheel drive, delivering a responsive driving experience tailored to urban mobility.
The combination is designed to provide the balance expected from a compact crossover, offering easy manoeuvrability and responsive performance while remaining suited to the demands of everyday driving.
Safety at the Core
Safety remains an important part of the new Venue’s offering. Depending on specification, the model is equipped with up to six airbags, supported by an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC).
Additional technologies available across selected specifications include front, rear and side parking sensors, helping drivers navigate tighter spaces with greater confidence. A Surround View Monitor (SVM), which uses four cameras to provide enhanced visibility around the vehicle, is also available on selected trims.
Together, these systems reinforce the Venue’s focus on combining convenience with confidence behind the wheel.
A New Addition to Hyundai’s Saudi Lineup
Commenting on the launch, Fahad Al-Wallan, Chairman of Wallan Holding Company, said the arrival of the new Venue represents an important milestone in the company’s partnership with Hyundai and reflects its commitment to responding to the evolving expectations of Saudi customers.
“The launch of the new Hyundai Venue in the Saudi market represents an important milestone in our partnership with Hyundai and reflects our ongoing commitment to introducing models that meet customer expectations and keep pace with the rapid developments taking place in the Kingdom’s automotive sector. We are confident that the Venue, with its diverse range of options, features, and technologies, will deliver distinctive value to our customers.”
He added that the partnership between Wallan Trading Company and Hyundai extends beyond the vehicles themselves, with a continued focus on delivering a complete ownership experience.
“Our partnership with Hyundai is based on a shared vision that goes beyond delivering vehicles to creating a comprehensive ownership experience. Through our continued collaboration, we strive to provide the highest levels of service and support to our customers, from vehicle selection through after-sales services, reflecting our commitment to building long-term relationships with our customers.”
The new Venue therefore arrives in Saudi Arabia as more than another addition to Hyundai’s model range. It represents an effort to bring together the qualities increasingly sought by modern drivers: distinctive design, useful technology, practical space and accessible safety features in a compact package.
Confidence Beyond the Showroom
Supporting the ownership experience, the new Hyundai Venue comes with a five-year or 100,000-kilometre warranty, together with five years of roadside assistance. The package is designed to give customers additional reassurance beyond the initial purchase and support them throughout their ownership journey.
With its combination of contemporary design, connected technology, compact practicality, responsive performance and safety-focused features, the new Hyundai Venue strengthens Hyundai’s offering in Saudi Arabia while giving drivers another versatile option within the Kingdom’s growing crossover market.
For Wallan Trading Company, the launch also underlines its continuing partnership with Hyundai and its focus on bringing products and services that respond to the changing needs of Saudi motorists. As urban mobility continues to evolve, the new Venue is positioned to meet that shift with a compact, technology-led package built around the realities of everyday driving.
