There are always reasons not to buy anything in the market. Here are the potential reasons NOT to buy the 2026 Hyundai Venue over the Maruti Brezza, Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra 3X0 and Tata Nexon. The charts should make your life easier.
Let’s begin with the Mahindra XUV 3XO which is recently turned blockbuster product. The SUV is the most aggressive on price, offering a certified 5-star safety rating and a powerful engine lineup (including the high-torque diesel) starting at the lowest price. Skoda Kylaq is the most fuel-efficient on paper for its potent 1.0L Turbo Petrol engine and has a lower top-end price than the Venue. Hyundai Venue 2026 commands a premium at the top end over ₹15 Lakhs for the fully loaded Diesel Auto which goes into 18 lakhs on-road, the mid-size SUV space .
Choose Maruti Brezza if you want the highest fuel economy in this class. Choose Mahindra XUV 3XO because maximum safety (5-star BNCAP), the most powerful engine options (Petrol and Diesel), and segment-unique features like the Panoramic Sunroof and rear disc brakes. Choose Skoda Kylaq because need a massive boot (446L), excellent build quality (5-star BNCAP), European driving dynamics, and segment-unique comfort features like ventilated and powered front seats. Choose Hyundai Venue (2026) if: Your top priority is the latest technology and do not have a smartphone to see similar things. Venue has Level 2 ADAS, but so does Tata Nexon now with the 2025 update. The Venue is said to be on the Kia Syros platform, while an improvement in one or two areas over the previous, Venue value proposition isn’t great like others.
