Of these two, we’d recommend you choose the Hyundai Venue HX5. The Tata Nexon has the slight edge on driving enjoyment with its punchier engine, sharper steering and better-tuned suspension, but in most other areas, the Venue excels.
The HX5 variant is decently well equipped, and the Venue diesel in general is smoother, more refined, better built and of higher interior quality. Plus, Hyundai’s aftersales and service are known to offer a better experience than Tata’s.
