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.

Same money, which car?

Our take
Keeps ₹81,000, and gives up only third-row AC vents and driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital)
Buy the Hyundai Venue HX 8 and keep the ₹81,000: 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"). Nothing there changes the car.
