The full story
Engine or equipment, and only you can price that: the Magnite Tekna+ asks ₹5,000 more for 360° camera and headlamps (Bi-LED projector against Halogen), but the Hyundai Venue HX 5 costs less and has the stronger engine, at 116 PS against 100 PS. The useful extras on top: auto climate (single zone) and speakers (6 against 4).
- Also on the Magnite Tekna+: driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and 60:40 split rear seat, 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
Whichever you pick, the variant is where the money goes
