Same money, which car?
Take ₹15.04L to both showrooms and you come out with the Venue HX 10 at ₹14.65L or the XUV 3XO AX7 L at ₹15.04L, the Venue leaving ₹0.39L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.39L more for the XUV 3XO AX7 L: blind spot monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call) and JBL system with Dolby Atmos. The useful extras on top: dual-zone climate control and headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the XUV 3XO AX7 L: sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane) and rain-sensing wipers, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the XUV 3XO AX7 L, you give up ADAS (Level 2 (full suite) against Level 2 (core suite)), ventilated front seats and touchscreen (12.3" against 10.25"), which the Venue HX 10 keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Venue HX 10 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.39L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX7 L if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
