Tech-Driven Transformation

Inside, a Terrazzo-textured crash pad, dual-tone leather seats, and ambient lighting elevate the cabin’s premium appeal.
The VENUE N Line, meanwhile, takes sportiness to another level with 32 exclusive upgrades, including a wing-type spoiler, twin-tip exhaust, red brake calipers, and N Line badging. The interiors feature black upholstery with red accents, metal pedals, and an N-exclusive steering wheel with performance control buttons, underlining its athletic character.
