Q. I am bit confused in between Tata Nexon and Hyundai Venue. Which one is good with in 9 lakh budget? My options is XM, XT, Venue S 1.2l? Can you please suggest me which is better one in this segments?

‘In the 9 lakhs range budget the Nexon XM clearly wins hands down. The Venue S is powered by a 1.2 litre naturally aspirated engine which is clearly underpowered compared to the Nexon XM which is powered by a 1.2 turbo engine delivering nearly 50% more power/ torque yet is 5% more fuel efficient. However the NexonXM is costlier by around 40k but it’s worth if you consider that it comes with 16 inch wheels compared to Nexons 15 inch wheels, it is wider by 30 plus mm , higher ground clearance, higher safety rating. If you have to shift to turbo engine in Hyundai to improve on a major performance letdown, you will have to shell out Rs 1 lakhs more than the S version, which makes it costlier by 60k than the Nexon XM

Tata nexon is good choice it is strong heavy car on highway it is tiger , but you want some new tec than you should go with venue 1.0 turbo smooth engine with some new features it depends on you

Go for Venue. Nexon has lots of issues. bad quality checks. engine issues. battery problems. interior noise problems. am a nexon owner and its been 2.3 years and i have faced multiple issues some of which even the service centre people don't know to solve.
