In this category, the Hyundai Venue N-Line’s primary rivals include the Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300, Kia Sonet, Nissan Magnite turbo, Renault Kiger, and the recently-launched Maruti Suzuki Brezza. Let’s compare the prices to see how the new Hyundai Venue N-Line stands against the competition.
Hyundai Venue N-Line vs Kia Sonet
Kia does not offer a sportier version of the Sonet like the N-Line, however, Hyundai’s sister company does offer the same engine specifications as the Venue N-Line — 1.0-litre turbo petrol mated to a DCT. The Kia Sonet with a similar setup is priced at Rs 11.55 lakh onwards, ~Rs 50,000 cheaper than the Venue N-Line.
Hyundai Venue N-Line vs Maruti Suzuki Brezza
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza was launched recently in India with a host of updates that included design tweaks and tech upgrades. The new Brezza is powered by a 1.5-litre engine and gets a new 6-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters, although there is no turbocharged version on offer.
The AT variants of the 2022 Maruti Suzuki Brezza are priced between Rs 10.96 lakh and 13.96 lakh ex-showroom, while the new Venue N-Line variants are priced between Rs 12.16 lakh and Rs 13.15 lakh ex-showroom, making the N-Line ~Rs 80,000 cheaper than the top=spec Brezza.
Hyundai Venue N-Line vs Tata Nexon
The Tata Nexon is the carmaker’s best-selling product and also India’s second-best-selling SUV last month after the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. The Nexon gets a 1.2-litre turbocharged engine mated to a manual or an AMT, while the AMT versions are priced between Rs 9.24 lakh and Rs 14.07 lakh, ex-showroom.
Hyundai Venue N-Line vs Mahindra XUV300
The Mahindra XUV300 is a good option in the compact SUV segment, as it gets a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine mated to a manual or an AMT gearbox again, as there’s no DCT on offer. The Mahindra XUV300’s AMT range is priced between Rs 10.50 lakh and 12.30 lakh ex-showroom, making the top-spec XUV300 variant ~Rs 15,000 more than the entry-level Venue N-Line.
2022 Hyundai Venue N-Line vs Renault Kiger
The Renault Kiger also gets a sportier turbocharged petrol variant that gets a 1.0-litre engine that makes 99 bhp and 160 Nm of torque, mated to a manual or a CVT gearbox. The automatic (CVT) variants are priced between Rs 9.82 lakh and Rs 10.62 lakh, priced considerably less than the Venue N-Line, however, the CVT gearbox is a let down compared to the Venue N-Line’s DCT gearbox.
2022 Hyundai Venue N-Line vs Nissan Magnite
Similar to the Renault Kiger, the Nissan Magnite also gets a 1.0-litre turbo petrol variant that makes 99 bhp and 160 Nm of torque with either a manual or a CVT gearbox. Prices for the CVT versions range between Rs 9.74 lakh and Rs 10.53 lakh, which are a lot more affordable than the Venue N-Line but get a CVT.
