Safety

The Venue is the safest SUV in its segment, and the 360-degree camera and the Level-2 ADAS suite further instil confidence into the buyer’s mind. The Kylaq also offers a decent standard safety list, but it isn’t enough to beat the Venue.

Our Verdict
The Venue offers more powertrain options, features, better safety and practicality than the Kylaq. But are these differences worth almost Rs. 4 lakh (for top variants)? For the lower trims, the Venue makes much more sense than the Kylaq, but as you go higher up the variant list, it gets difficult to justify paying the heavy premium over the Kylaq.
