Striking Exterior Redesign
The facelifted Venue features a wider front grille with vertical slats, giving it a stronger road presence. Vertically stacked LED headlamps and distinctive C-shaped daytime running lights enhance its modern identity. A silver skid plate adds a rugged touch, hinting at light off-road capability.
From the side, sleeker body lines and larger diamond-cut alloy wheels — up to 17 inches on the N Line — elevate its sporty stance. Bridge-type roof rails further boost its SUV appeal. At the rear, slimmer LED tail lamps connected by a light bar provide a premium finish. Slight increases in height, width, and length improve presence without compromising its sub-4m classification.
Premium and Tech-Loaded Cabin
Inside, the Venue receives a major upgrade with a dual-screen layout — either 10.2-inch or 12.3-inch curved displays — dominating the dashboard. Improved soft-touch materials, ambient lighting, and redesigned seats enhance comfort.
Engines and Performance
The Venue continues with its reliable engine lineup, including a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol paired with manual or DCT options, alongside naturally aspirated petrol and diesel choices. A 121-hp four-cylinder with CVT prioritises smooth urban driving. The N Line variant adds sportier detailing and a twin-tip exhaust for enthusiasts.
Safety and Pricing
Level 2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking enhance driver confidence. Multiple airbags, ABS, and stability control remain standard.
With prices expected between Rs 9–19 lakh (ex-showroom), the 2026 Venue facelift aims to compete strongly against rivals like the Tata Nexon, offering a compelling blend of style, technology, and safety.
