Cons	It somewhat feels like a bigger version of the Baleno specially from sides The turbo petrol engine choices is only available for the higher variants. This makes them slightly more expensive. The quality of interior plastics doesn't quite match up to that of its competitors It provides the smallest boot space in its segment, measuring at 308 liters The rear seat may not be overly comfortable for taller passengers It lacks certain features such as TPMS, rear armrest, auto wipers, and more The 1.0-litre turbo engine is quick. However, it doesn't deliver an enjoyable driving experience. Some competitors like the Sonet, Venue have an advantage by offering diesel engines	No automatic transmission with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine The lower models lack features.
