Interestingly, the facelifted Venue doesn’t get fog lamps, unlike the pre-facelift version.
The turn indicators now get a split design. The side doesn’t see any major changes except the new 16-inch alloy wheels. The rear gets a completely new look thanks to the horizontal LED taillights which are connected by a thin LED strip. The reversing light is placed lower down and is stacked vertically with the reflector. Other details include silver skid plates for the front and rear, a shark fin antenna, and an electric sunroof.
