Pro's:
1. The Venuecomes with the design and proportions of a proper SUV. It's also one of the most attractive offerings in this segment.
2. Hyundai has an array of powerful and efficient engines on offer with the Venue - A frugal 1.2-litre petrol engine, a powerful 1.0-litre turbo petrol, and for the diesel lovers, a capable 1.5-litre oil burner.
3. The Venue is also backed by Hyundai's strong after-sales support. The SUV also comes with 3 years / Unlimited Km warranty, along with 3 years of Road Side Assistance (RSA) service.
4. The Venue is smartly priced. With prices starting at ₹ 6.99 lakh and going up to ₹ 11.85 lakh (ex-showroom) the Hyundai Venue offers great value.
Con's:
1. The styling of the Venue might not attract those looking for a bold, flashy SUV with a lot of chrome accents.
2. While features packed, the cabin space inside the Venue is not the best, especially at the rear. It's a 4-seater SUV at best and taller occupants might not be very comfortable on long journeys.
3.No automatic diesel option on offer. All other subcompact SUVs with a diesel engine come with automatic options, either an AMT or in the case of the Sonet, a proper torque converter.

Pro's:
1. The Kia sonet is a good-looking SUV, and its aggressive design and styling are also one of the reasons why customers are opting for this subcompact SUV. In fact, in our opinion, the Sonet is the best-looking SUV in the sub-4-metre space.
2. The Sonet also comes with a great choice of engine options - a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol motor, a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel mill. Kia also offers 5 transmission choices with the Sonet - 5-speed MT, 6-speed iMT, 6-speed MT, 7-speed DCT and 6-speed .
Con's:
1. The cabin of the Kia Sonet is a bit cramped, especially at the rear. In fact, we would say it is a 4-seater SUV because three average-sized adults cannot really sit comfortably in the second row of Sonet.
2. The Sonet falls a bit short when it comes to handling, and on corners and turns, you will definitely feel a bit of body roll. The steering too can only be adjusted for height but not for reach.

Conculsion:
> By observing above all the model in the customer requirement point of view we can conculde that the suitable model is Hyundai Venue E.
>Because it is with in the Budget of 8 lakhs intgrated with all new latest technologies comparing to milage it gives 18 km/ltr
>It is the best safest vehicle amog all which all are having presently,the crash test restult very good compared to others.
>The seating capacity is also 5 and provided with back pack comfortable laguage
>The model also looks very intersting and stylish,in nexon series we have different variants which are with in the range of 8 to 10 lakhs only.
> It's teastament to how good the older compact SUV still are,despite the newer one adding more plish,that the points are also so close between them all.The swift is a bestseller was Hyundai itself,it does most things resonably well,and will go the furthest on every liter of fuel.
>Where as the tata nexon was very quite intersting model but in it variant it ranges high compared to Hyundai but in milage wise nexon gives more milage.
>Coming to Kia sonet which are new and upcoming maufactures from the Kia motor,based on our requirements the kia sonet is very good in comfort and specification but cost ranges littile higher than all.
>Here the Nissan Magnet which is an latest model from nissan ,comparing all its sounds less cost which nearly 7 lakhs,but coming to comfort and condition and features of nissan not as much updated as other manufactures,in milage ,pickup all similar to new models,but interior and some of factors are not good.so due to it the model was was quite not famous in market.
>The best and suitable for all condition vehicle is Hyundai Venue E.so i suggested the venue model for the customer to go on.
