Hyundai Venue vs Hyundai I20

Hello Autocar Team, I obtained my car driving licence over a year ago, but I have almost no real-world driving experience apart from the driving test. Since my father drives a Mahindra XUV300 Manual (he lives in another city), I was initially inclined to buy a Mahindra XUV 3XO AT (AX5/AX5L/REVX A). However, some advice I found online has encouraged me to consider buying a smaller, less powerful used car to drive for a year. After giving it some thought, I completely agree with the idea of starting with a smaller car, especially since I'll mostly be driving alone. After some research, I narrowed my options down to the Hyundai i20 AT (2021-2023 IVT) over the Toyota Glanza and Maruti Suzuki Baleno in Bengaluru. My plan is to use the car mainly for highway trips (I'm planning lots of temple visits across South, East, and West India) while also practising city driving over the next few months. As a motorcyclist, I've been riding a Triumph Scrambler 400 X for the past two years and occasionally go on highway rides. Although I'll be a new car driver, I don't want to feel that the car is underpowered after a short period of ownership. Along with the i20 (and the Glanza/Baleno), I've now also added the Hyundai Venue to my shortlist. P.S. I'm also planning to enrol in a 10-day doorstep driving instruction course. Could you please suggest which car would be the right choice for me? My key requirements are: Automatic transmission, beginner-friendly automatic gearbox, reasonably quiet cabin, good highway stability, and good or decent resale value after 12-15 months

I have be budget of under 13 Lakhs. An automatic car that looks and feels good to drive in city bumper to bumper as well as go to trips. My drive is likely 8000 kms a year. I was looking at Venue petrol, i20 (it vibrates with road texture), kia etc. Please suggest.

I'm a first-time car buyer planning to purchase an automatic petrol car in Q3 2026, mainly for city use and occasional long trips. I want modern features such as a 360° camera, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, etc. My budget is around Rs. 10-12 lakh, but I can extend it to Rs. 14 lakh if the car is feature-rich and offers good safety, ADAS, etc. Initially, I shortlisted the Hyundai i20 Asta variant, but I have heard that it will receive a facelift soon. I have also heard that Hyundai will be launching the Bayon soon. So, I am a little confused about whether it is a good decision to buy a car that is due for a facelift, wait for the Hyundai Bayon launch, or consider other alternatives such as the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, or Mahindra XUV 3XO. I am avoiding Maruti Suzuki because I have read that the features and safety offered in this price range are not as good as those of the competition. Please advise me. Thanks.

We are planning to buy a car and are confused between the Hyundai i20 Asta Optional and the Hyundai Venue HX6T 1.2-litre NA petrol. Our budget is up to Rs. 12.5 lakh, and we drive around 8,000km annually, mostly in the city with light to moderate traffic. We occasionally take highway trips. We currently own a 2015 Wagon R VXi. The quoted prices are Rs. 10.44 lakh for the i20 and Rs. 12.7 lakh for the Venue. What makes more sense, a small hatchback or a Venue?

I'm planning to purchase a car, but I'm confused between the Kylaq AT, Venue DCT, and i20 N Line DCT. My primary usage will be mostly city driving.
