Kia Seltos Vs Hyundai Venue : Nevertheless, the battle, tough and good, is definitely going on between the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Venue among compact SUVs in India. The persuasive equal share between the two for trendy looks, fun features, and good performance is so well-balanced that choosing one out of the two on the basis of which is better becomes so difficult. Now, let’s see which of the two is better on the counts of aesthetics, comfort, features, and performance among the equipment-laden SUVs.
The other Is outside
The Kia Seltos heads with strength and muscular, backed by a lot of flair to please the soul. With sharp LED headlamps, a front grille that threatens sporty aggression, and an all-sporty demeanor, it sure gives a high street premium presence. On the contrary, the compact Hyundai Venue is more city-friendly. Modern in an appealing boxy shape, their mystique lights are alluring. Thus, while Seltos appears to carry an upscale compact image, Venue is for those who want a petite yet sexy-looking car for a common-day drive.
Interiors And Comfort
The soft-touch materials using all of that with ventilated seats, and, of course, a wide 10.25-inch touchscreen are included in the package for the Kia Seltos. It really feels roomy and refined, especially in the higher trims. Comfort-wise and usability-wise, the interiors of the Venue blend well, and they are fairly well designed. They are, however, really high-seated SUVs to give the best visibility, but on all other accounts, Seltos takes the cake for considerably more space and a premium feel.
Performance And Engine Options
Both SUVs come in various engine options, whether petrol or diesel. The 1.5-liter turbo petrol engine of the Seltos has powerful performance apt for cruising over the expressway. The Venue’s smaller turbo engine makes it lively and great for economy in town driving. While making long-distance travel almost effortless, the Seltos feels lighter in traffic, making it easier to dodge around.
Technologies And features
The Seltos roasts with a bevy of modern traits: a 360-degree camera; connected car technologies; ambient lighting; and advanced driver assistance systems. The venue has a lot of other tech features: wireless charging, digital instrument cluster, and BlueLink connectivity. But the Seltos takes the lead by far in terms of safety features and lavish appointments.
Fuel Efficiency And Pricing
Venue rides on the competitive price tag of around ₹7.9 lakh, while Seltos relays around ₹10.9 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant. Almost, however, both give better mileage figures, but the Venue proves to be slightly better and is hence ideal for ‘around town’ users. The price of Seltos, however, reflects comfort and power, giving a rather tenable ground for it to be priced higher than that of the Venue.
Conclusion
On your type for either will depend a lot; the Kia Seltos seems like a premium comfort SUV that can afford space besides strong performance, rather than just the Venue. Prefer mini but packed with features and easy driving, a Venue sounds smart in this case. Both shine and have made their marks as among the best compact SUVs of 2025.
