Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.29L more for the Venue N Line N10: the Venue N Line N10 runs the turbo engine, 120 PS against 103 PS, a 17 percent jump you will feel and the Venue N Line N10 shifts itself while the other is a manual. It also adds level 2 (full suite) ADAS and all-wheel disc brakes. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Venue N Line N10: touchscreen (12.3" against 9"), 8-way powered driver seat, drive modes and terrain modes, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Venue N Line N10, you give up sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane), head-up display and rain-sensing wipers, which the Grand Vitara Alpha keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Alpha if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.29L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Venue N Line N10 if
- You want the stronger, quicker car and will use the performance
