We understand your concern and genuinely sympathise with your situation. A dealership is expected to communicate the status of your booking clearly and provide regular, transparent updates. If your chosen colour or variant isn’t currently in the dealer’s inventory, a factory allocation and delivery typically takes around 30-45 days from the date of booking.The Hyundai Venue itself is a strong product, and a poor dealership experience shouldn’t cloud your purchase decision. It may be worth reaching out to another dealer in your city; some outlets are more proactive in their communication and may even have your preferred colour or variant readily available in stock.

Both the Kia Sonet and the Hyundai Venue have the same powertrains under the hood, but the 2025 Venue was launched recently and has grown in size. The suspension, too, has been tweaked, and the ride is a lot more comfortable. So between the two, you can pick the Hyundai Venue.Parking your car for two months is not recommended. Please ask someone you trust to take the car out for a small drive every few days when you are not around. With E20 fuel, one of the problems is that if left for long, it can separate and attract water that can corrode your fuel tank. To avoid this, a simple measure is to keep your tank full and keep driving the car.

For the 10 lakh band, you can look at either the Tata Altroz or Honda Amaze. Altroz gets a torque converter automatic and will be around 10 lakhs on road. It also gets the features you are looking for. Honda Amaze gets a CVT and will fit in your budget, but misses out on 360 degree camera. Both of these cars have secured a 5-star safety rating.For the 14 lakh, you can choose the Tata Nexon, the Petrol Creative DCT variant, which also gets most of the features you want.

If you can stretch your budget a little, you should consider the Toyota Innova HyCross strong hybrid. The HyCross has a spacious and very comfortable cabin for seven adults, and the 183hp, petrol-electric strong hybrid powertrain has a claimed fuel efficiency of 23.24kpl. Toyota Innova HyCross strong hybrid prices range from Rs 26.30 lakh to Rs 31.30 lakh (ex-showroom, India).Alternatively, you could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, which is essentially a rebadged Innova HyCross with the same strong hybrid powertrain. Prices for the Invicto range from Rs 24.97 lakh to Rs 28.70 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
