Other changes include a chrome window line, a new dual-tone design for alloy wheels, and split tail lamps with a connecting light bar and revised graphics.

Inside, the cabin looks modern with the utilisation of black and beige colours on the dashboard, door pads, and seat upholstery.

The touchscreen infotainment system of the Venue has been updated with support for Alexa and Google assistant in 10 regional languages. Other highlights include over 60 connected car features, automatic climate control, electric sunroof, push start/stop button, and cooled glovebox.

Under the bonnet, the Venue is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine that generates 82bhp and 114Nm of torque and a 1.0-litre turbo petrol motor that puts out 118bhp and 172Nm of torque. The 1.5-litre diesel derivative has an output of 99bhp and 240Nm of peak torque. The Venue also gets multiple transmission options, such as a five-speed manual, a six-speed manual, an iMT, and a DCT unit.
