Interior
The interior of both Hyundai Venue and Tata Nexon has a modern layout, with clean lines on the dashboard and the free-standing touchscreen infotainment system, which is the latest look.
In contrast, the Nexon has a fantastic cabin and even sports some features that make it really racy-say, the flat-bottomed steering wheel, a fully digital instrument console, mounted touchscreen infotainment system, and a wider, more practical centre console with storage space. The dual-tone theme adds to the temptation of the Nexon. Added to that, the Nexon is wider, hence ensuring there is more room for the comfort of the passengers in comparison to any other car in its class.

Colours
The manufacturers have made sure to provide a wide range of colour options for customers seeking vibrant and high-quality aesthetics. The Tata Nexon is available in seven chic shades: Calgary white, Creative Ocean, flame red, Daytona grey, fearless purple, and pristine white.
Moreover, Hyundai Venue is also available in seven wonderful shades: Fiery red with black roof, denim blue, abyss black, typhoon silver, atlas white, and titan grey.

Safety
Amongst the cars made in India, Nexon stands alone as the only car receiving a 5-star rating from GNCAP. Some of the features in a Nexon are dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, seat belt warning at the front, and speed alert warning, among others. The top trims also give access to a reverse camera with grid lines, though the resolution could be higher. One area in which Nexon is very good is the braking system. It really bites (discs up front and drums at the rear), and it is able to stop the SUV without any incident. Additionally, Hill Hold ensures functionality smoothness to keep the SUV from rolling backwards in the absence of brake application.
On the other hand, the Venue offers the same standard features as the Tata. However, it also comes with the option of six airbags when one goes for the manual Venue. However, both cars miss out on providing a headrest for the passenger at the rear and height-adjustable front seat belts, and only the Nexon provides the same.

Price
If you talk about price, both compact SUVs have almost similar prices. This means Tata Nexon's price starts at Rs 9.02 L to Rs 18.44 L while Hyundai Venue starts at INR 8.85 L to INR 15.77 L.
The Bottom Line
Summing up the detailed analysis of the Tata Nexon and Hyundai Venue, it is needless to say that with all the astounding features and great selling points of both SUVs come their benefits and downsides. While the Nexon does come with its share of luxuries, advanced features, and great post-sale support, the Venue gets a sharper design and a marginally better set of mile-munching engines.
