Kia seltos is equipped with tiger nose grille and heart beat shaped lights at rear which makes her wild. Both the vehicles are very up market in terms of design. However design is a subjective factor, that varied person to person.
At the side profile sonet is flat at rear because sonet is a B segment SUV ant it must have length under 4 meter. So rear/side design of sonet may be disappoint some people. In rear/side profile of venue there is no such issue. Rear profile of venue is quite simple where as a sort of diffuser like treatment on the rear bumper of sonet results a sporty look.
