HYUNDAI VENUE VS TATA NEXON

Hyundai has unveiled its updated 2022 Venue compact SUV, which calls for a thorough comparison with the Tata Nexon, the sector leader. For a few months now, Nexon has consistently performed well on the sales charts. However, it might be argued that the facelift versions of the Hyundai Venue and Maruti Brezza, the other two major competitors in the market, were being developed.
