Facelift generation map
Hyundai's first India compact SUV since 21 May 2019, built as the India-coded QXi (3,995 mm) at Chennai to sit under Creta in the sub-4-metre tax class; the all-new second generation (QU2 / QU2i) is the first product from HMIL's Pune/Talegaon plant and is made in India for global markets. One ICE generation with a 16 June 2022 mid-cycle facelift, then a true second generation on the K1 platform from 4 November 2025 — not a second facelift (Hyundai PR / 'all-new' / QU2; some newspaper copy still said 'facelift'). N Line (6 Sep 2022, relaunched with gen 2) is a sporty trim, not a generation. Knight / Sport / Adventure packs are cosmetic. i20 (K2 hatch) and Creta (larger K2 SUV) are platform/range siblings; Kia Sonet is the related compact-SUV twin. No India Venue row on SIAM as of 19 Aug 2026. ~8.02 lakh domestic sales by May 2026; Hyundai had already claimed 7 lakh+ at the gen-2 launch. India launch: 21 May 2019.
