Is the Venue N Line's sporty appearance more than skin deep?

The Hyundai Venue N Line has sportier bumpers, side skirts, unique alloy wheels, N Line badging and red accents over the standard Venue. The car comes with these visual upgrades meant to give the car a more aggressive and dynamic look. But there is always debate amongst car enthusiasts about whether or not these aesthetic changes are worth the performance improvements they supposedly bring. The N Line does have a stiffer suspension and a few other minor tweaks, but it’s powered by the same engine as the top spec standard Venue. But it prompts us to ask: Are we willing to pay for the sportier look if it sets expectations of performance that the car may or may not achieve? The conversation usually revolves around how the N Line walks the line between style and substance, and if the enhancements are merely for show or do they actually give a noticeably different driving experience.
