A smooth petrol engine, a spacious cabin, and very comfortable ride quality. The 2020 Vitara Brezza has its basics in place. Kiger is a car that offers a great mix of utility, practicality, features, and comfort. It’s spacious enough for the urban family, it has a large boot, and it’s offering the right blend of features and quality. Hyundai has got the basics spot on with the Venue. It’s delivering on the wow factor with pukka mini-SUV looks, quality interiors, and a feature list that’d make you question paying a premium for larger SUVs. The Sonet is ticking all the right boxes otherwise. Kia Sonet, Venue, Kiger, Brezza or XUV300.Īll the five cars are good in their own forte. UPDATE: Since this review Hyundai has discontinued the 1.4-litre diesel engine and added in the 1.5-litre diesel from the Seltos. There are some weird feature compromises in the DCT petrol and some of the lower variants, but if your budget allows you to aim for the SX Opt petrol or diesel, you will be more than happy to run with the crowd. It packs in a lot in terms of sensible features while throwing in some extra ‘wow’ ones as well. Yes, it’s neither as sporty-handling as say the EcoSport is, nor does it pack as much punch as the XUV300 does, but it’s not far from them both in terms of measured performance or driving feel. It manages to cover a number of bases without real deal breakers. When pitched against its rivals, the Venue sits below the higher priced Mahindra XUV300 and the Ford EcoSport, at par with the Tata Nexon and just above the Maruti Brezza.īalance is the one word that comes to mind when you think of the Venue. With prices starting at Rs 6.5 lakh and heading up to Rs 11.1 lakh for the DCT Petrol, the Venue is competitive. This all combines to make the Venue a nice, balanced drive that’s good when you’re confined to the city, and while it’s not the sportiest option when the road opens up it’s not boring either. The weight helps when the pace increases though, and it’s relatively quick too. The steering too is quite un-Hyundai like in that there is some weight to it, but it hasn’t lost any of its streetability. Around corners the Venue also stays nice and flat and only really quick direction changes can induce roll into the cabin. On the highway it stays impressively flat and settled quickly over any bumps we could throw at it. It’s just over really broken roads that you will notice some side to side motion creeping into the cabin. In the city, over our regular roads and speed breakers you will have no complaints at all. The Venue dials things back again and is a much nicer balance between handling and comfort. The current cars have changed that and some will argue that Hyundai have over compensated a bit and they have firmed up their ride a little too much. Ride quality wasn’t one of Hyundai’s strong points after being rather soft with the earlier generations of the i20 and the Verna.
