Hyundai Venue vs Skoda Kylaq: which should you buy?
The Skoda Kylaq starts at ₹7.59L against the Hyundai Venue's ₹8.00L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.41L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹12.99L, where the Kylaq 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 Kylaq in petrol.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹12.99L to both showrooms and you come out with the Venue HX 7 at ₹12.76L or the Kylaq Prestige+ at ₹12.99L, the Venue leaving ₹0.23L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.23L more for the Kylaq Prestige+: ventilated front seats. The useful extras on top: 6-way powered driver seat and driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Kylaq Prestige+: rain-sensing wipers and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Kylaq Prestige+, you give up touchscreen (10.25" against 10.1"), connected car tech and wired CarPlay / Android Auto, which the Venue HX 7 keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Venue HX 7 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.23L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Skoda Kylaq Prestige+ if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
