Those who believe in the concept of ‘change is the only constant’ find success rather frequently. Hyundai is one of those companies and as a result, we frequently see Hyundai cars getting upgraded. This time around it is the Venue which has gone through a refresh.

Being a mid-life facelift changes to the exteriors are simple but add value. The dark chrome treatment on the grille looks good and it will come to you as a surprise when we tell you that when the Venue was being designed, this particular design was seen as a concept. The headlamps are now LED projectors and come with the signature DRLs. The winkers are the same too, but look different thanks to the unique cladding on them. The front bumper has also been redone. In profile not much has changed apart from the new 16in alloys and the ORVMs which now feature puddle lamps. At the back though is where the Venue has become a whole more handsome. The connected LED light panel and the LED tail lights look smashing. Add to that the new rear bumper and overall the new Venue looks rather cool. As far as dimensions are concerned, there is literally no change.
