Where the Brezza does better
Highway overtaking
Brezza: Generally positiveVenue: Strongly negative
Brezza: “You get real extra pickup from the mild-hybrid battery — I took it to full speed, 90 to 100, and floored it, and you can genuinely feel the extra pickup coming through, useful for overtaking.”
Venue: “this car takes over 15 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h... if you are an enthusiast and you love revving out this motor, you will be left yearning for more performance. Power delivery tapers down quite sharply beyond 5,000 RPM”
Highway stability
Brezza: Strongly positiveVenue: Mixed reviews
Brezza: “The Brezza feels like a tough, solid compact SUV with excellent high-speed manners and an overall confident driving feel.”
Venue: “there is a bit more heft to the steering, at least at low speeds, but as soon as you pick up the pace, it disappears and becomes all loose in your hands once again, which is a little bit disappointing”
Ride comfort
Brezza: Generally positiveVenue: Generally negative
Brezza: “the Brezza has always had a soft suspension setup and it is a setup that suits Indian road conditions very well. Low speed bumps are very well contained. You have no issues in the city. So, it never really thuds or feels firm inside.”
Venue: “it's still not completely sorted, and there are other compact SUVs that ride better than it. You feel a bit of movement, a little bit of bounce as you go over bumps or unruly surfaces.”
Where the Venue does better
Handling
Venue: Generally positiveBrezza: Generally negative
Venue: “Handling itself is predictable and neutral, exactly what you'd expect from a city-friendly family compact SUV.”
Brezza: “The steering, for instance, is pretty direct but it just doesn't feel crisp — the way it turns into corners it's quite planted, feels solid, but again it's not as quick and as sharp as you'd want it to be to really hit that sweet spot.”
Seat comfort
Venue: Generally positiveBrezza: Mixed reviews
Venue: “The Venue's rear seat recline angle is quite good -- it has a one-step recline, and after driving 250km the rear passenger was basically lying down comfortably”
Brezza: “The front seats are also large and accommodating, but the cushioning is just too soft, so on a long journey you'd probably be fidgeting about.”
