When comparing standout features, the Mahindra XUV 3XO edges slightly above the Hyundai Venue. This advantage comes mainly because of the inclusion of a segment-first panoramic sunroof, ADAS L2 suite, and dual-zone climate control. The Hyundai Venue on the other hand gets features like a dash-cam, which is absent in the XUV 3XO. Notably, the infotainment screen size is smaller in the Hyundai Venue when compared to the 10.25-inch unit on the XUV 3XO. A premium Harman/Kardon sound system can be found in the top-spec XUV 3XO, while the Venue offers a regular 6-speaker sound system.
