Honda Elevate vs Hyundai Venue: which should you buy?
The Hyundai Venue starts at ₹8.00L against the Honda Elevate's ₹11.81L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹3.81L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹15.65L, where the Venue tops out. Past that only the Elevate has anything left to sell you, up to ₹16.36L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Elevate comes in petrol, the Venue in petrol and diesel.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹15.65L to both showrooms and you come out with the Elevate ZX at ₹15.19L or the Venue HX 10 at ₹15.65L, the Elevate leaving ₹0.46L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.46L more for the Venue HX 10: ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), 360° camera and all-wheel disc brakes. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25") and 4-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Venue HX 10: tyre pressure monitor, ventilated front seats, drive modes and terrain modes, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Venue HX 10, you give up blind spot monitor, which the Elevate ZX keeps
- Choose the Honda Elevate ZX if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.46L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Venue HX 10 if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
