They run together up to ₹14.52L, where the AircrossX tops out. Past that only the Venue has anything left to sell you, up to ₹15.65L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the AircrossX comes in petrol, the Venue in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?

Our take
Keeps ₹60,000, and on features gives up only third-row AC vents and driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital)
Buy the Hyundai Venue HX 8 Knight and keep the ₹60,000: on features, the AircrossX Turbo Max 7-Seater only adds small touches like third-row AC vents, driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and wheel size (17" against 16"). Where they part company is what they run on, so make sure the cheaper one is the car you actually want.
