The Tata Curvv diesel has the advantage with its larger size and better ride quality in comparison to the XUV 3XO and the Hyundai Venue.

However, in your budget, you can get a better spec'd Mahindra XUV 3XO with almost the same amount of room. The AX7 trim would be a good choice with a well-equipped cabin and a smooth diesel engine.

Hi, I am planning to buy my first car and have shortlisted two options - the Hyundai i20 N Line N8 DCT and the Hyundai Venue HX6 DCT. I test-drove both and instantly fell in love with the way the i20 N Line drives and handles. However, I could feel and hear every bump and pothole quite clearly in the N Line. On the other hand, the Venue’s suspension felt more compliant and better at absorbing bad roads. Cabin insulation and seating comfort also felt better in the Venue. I also came across your review. Is the Venue’s steering and suspension a deal-breaker? At triple-digit speeds, does it feel bouncy or unstable while changing lanes? I understand these cars belong to different segments, but could you please suggest which one I should choose? My primary usage will be weekend road trips, with occasional city driving, as my daily office commute is on a two-wheeler.

You have already picked up on the core difference. The Hyundai i20 N Line is tuned for sporty driving, so the suspension is firmer, and you will feel more of the road. That is not a flaw; it is a deliberate setup to improve control and handling.The Hyundai Venue, on the other hand, is tuned for comfort. It has a softer suspension, better bump absorption and a more relaxed driving character. You also sit higher and more upright, and the cabin insulation is better, which makes it feel more comfortable in everyday use. Being the newer car in this comparison, that difference you felt is expected. The choice really comes down to what you value more. The Venue is the easier and more comfortable car, while the i20 N Line is the more engaging one to drive.If you were to compare the standard i20 instead of the N Line, it would feel noticeably more comfortable, closer to the Venue. But then you lose the turbo petrol performance that you liked.

I have decided to go ahead with the Mahindra XUV 3XO, but I am confused between two automatic variants - AX5L and REVX A. The AX5L offers features like a 360-degree camera, auto-dimming IRVM, and ADAS, while the REVX A comes with a panoramic sunroof and leatherette seats. The price difference is not significant, so I am trying to decide based on real-world usability. My parents (in their 50s and relatively new to driving) will occasionally use the car, while I will be the primary driver. I am unsure whether ADAS will be useful for them or feel intrusive. The 360-degree camera could help them, but I am not sure how much difference it will make in day-to-day use. Personally, I have been driving for a few years and am fairly confident, so I feel I may not use ADAS or the 360-degree camera much. Because of this, I am slightly inclined towards the REVX A, mainly for the panoramic sunroof and overall cabin feel. Given this usage, which variant would you recommend for better long-term value?

The 360 camera, auto-dimming inside mirror, and ADAS are driver-assist features that can certainly help tangibly. For your parents, the 360 camera would be a big help in tight parking, narrow lanes and when judging the corners of the car. The auto-dimming mirror is a nice touch and helps with sustained good visibility, and even if you won’t use ADAS every day, it’s a nice safety net on highway runs, and you can turn most alerts down or off if they feel too intrusive in city traffic.As for the panoramic sunroof and leatherette of the Mahindra XUV 3XO REVX A, they do make the cabin feel special, but there are also practical trade-offs. The sunroof adds heat in summer and needs some care over the years, and leatherette seats can get hot and clammy to sit on.

I live in a small town called Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan. My monthly driving mileage is approximately 1,400 km. I have a preference for modern and good-looking cars. I have shortlisted the Venue HX5 Diesel and the Victoris CNG. Please share your suggestions.

From your requirements, we feel the Hyundai Venue HX5 diesel will suit you better than the Maruti Suzuki Victoris CNG. It fits because diesel pulls stronger at low speeds and on open roads, so overtakes are easier even with family and luggage, and you will not have to plan trips around CNG pumps, which can be fewer and have queues in smaller towns. The new Venue is also compact and easy to park on narrow streets. This Hyundai car feels steady on rough patches common around small towns in Rajasthan, and Hyundai’s service network is wide.It also looks modern inside and out, which is what you are after. Even in the HX5 trim, the quality levels are high and there are modern design flourishes inside and out that keep the Venue from looking too basic or cheap. For instance, you still get a dual screen layout which looks crisp and high tech, as well as projector headlamps and LED DRLs on the outside. The Victoris, in comparison, looks a lot more conservative in its design, even though it is a larger vehicle. What's more, even though the Victoris has a larger boot than the Venue, its rear seat space is quite similar.
