The full story
The Venue base model is the HX 2, from ₹8.00L ex-showroom; the top model is the HX 10 Knight, from ₹14.82L. That is ₹6.82L more.
The HX 10 Knight adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera, all-wheel disc brakes and tyre pressure monitor, and 31 more over the HX 2.
Top of the ladder is not top of the price list here: the HX 10 Diesel AT at ₹15.65L costs more.
11 trims sit between the two, so the jump is rarely how anyone actually buys.
The best value for money on this ladder is the step into the HX 5+, not the jump to the top; above it the HX 10 Knight adds all-wheel disc brakes, 360° camera and front parking sensors, and 19 more for the rest of the money.
