Same money, which car?
Take ₹12.78L to both showrooms and you come out with the Venue HX 7 at ₹12.76L or the Urban Cruiser Taisor V at ₹12.78L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.02L more for the Urban Cruiser Taisor V: 360° camera and head-up display. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Going to the Urban Cruiser Taisor V, you give up tyre pressure monitor, single-pane sunroof and touchscreen (10.25" against 9"), which the Venue HX 7 keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Venue HX 7 if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.02L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor V if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
