India’s popular sub-compact SUV Hyundai Venue has now been launched with its new generation update. The company has kept the starting price of 2025 Venue at Rs 7.90 lakh (ex-showroom), which will remain valid till 31 December 2025. This time Hyundai has released the prices of only the 1.2-litre petrol engine HX2, HX4 and HX5 variants, while the prices of the diesel and Venue N Line versions will be announced soon.

• The new Hyundai Venue will now compete directly with five popular SUVs in the Indian market – Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Syros and Skoda Kylaq. Let us know, which of these SUVs can become the biggest challenge for Venue.

Maruti Suzuki Brezza

Brezza has features like 6 airbags, ESP, 360° camera, cruise control, wireless charging, and 9-inch touchscreen. Available in both petrol and CNG engine options, Brezza starts at Rs 8.25 lakh. Due to its trustworthy brand and strong service network, it can give a tough competition to Venue.

Skoda Kylaq

• Skoda’s new SUV Kylaq looks ahead of the Venue due to its modern design and premium interior. Starting at Rs 7.54 lakh, this SUV comes with features like 17-inch alloy wheels, large 10.1-inch touchscreen, ventilated seats and wireless connectivity. Its modern-solid design and European finish puts it above the Venue in terms of style and quality.

Starting at Rs 8.67 lakh, Syros has features like 30-inch dual screen, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof and 360° camera. The premium quality of its interiors and hi-tech systems will prove to be a big challenge for the Venue.

Tata Nexon

• Tata Nexon is one of the safest SUVs in India, having received a 5-star safety rating. Its new model comes with 1.2L petrol and 1.5L diesel engines, with manual, AMT and DCT gearbox options. Starting at Rs 7.32 lakh, Nexon has features like 360° camera, digital display and wireless connectivity. Its strong body and strong performance is a tough challenge for Venue.

Starting at Rs 7.28 lakh, the XUV 3XO comes with features like two 10.25-inch displays, level-2 ADAS, 6 airbags and 360° camera. With smart technology and strong safety package, it gives tough competition to Venue feature-wise. The competition between these five SUVs against the new Hyundai Venue will be very interesting.

Hyundai has launched its new generation Venue in India, which has more advanced features and updated design than before. Interestingly, the new Venue is built on the K1 platform of Kia Syros. However, the design of both is quite different from each other. The look of Venue is strong and stylish like an SUV, whereas the design of Syros is more high and compact in tallboy style. Let us know which of the top variants of both the cars is more feature-rich and value for money.

Price and engine options

• The top variant of the new Hyundai Venue comes in both HX 10 (Turbo Petrol DCT Automatic and Diesel Automatic) options. The top model HTX+ (O) variant of Kia Syros is also available with the same engine and transmission combination. Both SUVs come with 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine and 1.5-litre diesel engine with the option of DCT automatic transmission. In terms of price, both are almost similar, but Syros may be a little expensive due to some extra features in its top variant.

Who is ahead in exterior?

• If we talk about the exterior design and dimensions of both, then Kia Syros proves to be a bigger SUV than Venue by a slight margin. The wheelbase of Syros is 2,550mm, which is 30mm longer than the Venue. Its height is also 15mm more, which gives more headroom to the rear seat occupants. In terms of design, Syros has 17-inch alloy wheels, while Venue has 16-inch alloy wheels. The front grille and DRL design of Venue gives it a more muscular and SUV look, while the design of Syros gives it a slightly urban feel.

Interior and Features

• Both the SUVs are feature-packed and loaded with premium technology. Venue comes with features like touchscreen infotainment system, wireless charger, powered driver seat, and premium audio system. At the same time, Kia Syros is more feature-rich than Venue. It has advanced features like 5-inch separate AC control display, rear seat base ventilation, built-in air purifier, sliding rear seats and panoramic sunroof. These features are not present in the top variant of Venue, which gives Syros a step ahead in terms of interior features.

Safety and driving features

• In terms of safety, almost similar technology has been provided in both the SUVs. Both have features like Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), traction control mode, paddle shifters, drive mode selection and adaptive cruise control. The build quality of the Venue is strong and made of high-strength steel, while the frame of the Syros is also quite stable due to the K1 platform. Both are provided with essential safety features like 6 airbags, rear camera, parking sensor, and electronic stability control.
• If you give priority to comfort, space and luxury features, then the top variant of Kia Syros will be better for you. At the same time, if you give more importance to SUV looks, rod presence and driving performance, then Hyundai Venue will prove to be a strong option.
