Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Kia Carens is रु 6,06,000 cheaper ex-showroom (11.5%), while the Hyundai Venue F/L is ahead on dealer and service reach — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Hyundai Venue F/L if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 5 more service centres in Nepal (35 vs 30); 38 more showrooms in Nepal (81 vs 43).

Choose the Kia Carens if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking
  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often

Measured: 40.2 PS more power; 70 Nm more torque.

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
