The Hyundai Venue 1.0-litre DCT in the HX6 trim fits within your budget and is a good choice in this segment. Since most of your driving is in the city and easy parking is a priority, its compact size is an advantage. The light steering also makes it easy to drive and park. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is refined, and the DCT is generally smooth in operation, with only occasional delays in shifts. It also offers good performance for a car in this class, so overtaking on the highway is not an issue.Cabin space is good too, but the slightly narrow width means squeezing three passengers in the rear can be a bit tight. That said, the boot is a useful 375 litres, and it comes with rear AC vents and rear sunblinds in the HX6 variant. Before you decide, do take a thorough test drive.
