Hyundai Venue vs Nissan Magnite: which should you buy?
The Nissan Magnite starts at ₹5.68L against the Hyundai Venue's ₹8.00L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹2.32L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹10.99L, where the Magnite tops out. Past that only the Venue has anything left to sell you, up to ₹15.65L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Venue comes in petrol and diesel, the Magnite in petrol.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹10.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Venue HX 5 at ₹10.94L or the Magnite Tekna+ at ₹10.99L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.05L more for the Magnite Tekna+: 360° camera. The useful extras on top: headlamps (Bi-LED projector against Halogen) and speakers (6 against 4). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Magnite Tekna+: driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), auto climate (single zone), auto headlamps and rain-sensing wipers, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Magnite Tekna+, you give up single-pane sunroof, touchscreen (10.25" against 8") and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Venue HX 5 keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Venue HX 5 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.05L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Nissan Magnite Tekna+ if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
