Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.20L more for the Venue HX 10: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and all-wheel disc brakes. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1") and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Venue HX 10: ventilated front seats, 4-way powered driver seat, drive modes and terrain modes, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Venue HX 10, you give up rain-sensing wipers, which the Taigun Highline Plus keeps
- Choose the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Plus if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.20L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Hyundai Venue HX 10 if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
