The grille is also significantly slimmer than before, paired with an elongated lower bumper intake. Despite these updates, the hood and front fenders seem to remain untouched.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s less drama at the rear, though the updates are still noticeable. A new pair of taillights gives the back a sharper signature, while the tailgate has been reworked slightly to include large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/nissan-versa\">Versa<\/a> lettering.
