Hyundai Venue vs Kia Syros: which should you buy?
The Hyundai Venue starts at ₹8.00L against the Kia Syros's ₹8.42L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.42L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹15.65L, where the Venue tops out. Past that only the Syros has anything left to sell you, up to ₹15.82L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹15.65L to both showrooms and you come out with the Venue HX 10 at ₹15.65L or the Syros HTX (O) at ₹15.00L, the Syros leaving ₹0.65L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.65L more for the Venue HX 10: level 2 (full suite) ADAS and 360° camera. The useful extras on top: wired CarPlay / Android Auto. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Going to the Venue HX 10, you give up JBL system with Dolby Atmos, tri-screen cabin layout and sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane), which the Syros HTX (O) keeps
- Choose the Kia Syros HTX (O) if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.65L 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
