Hello, Preeti,

The Climber has more cladding that will protect the car's sides and a

skid-plate to add a little cover under the front bumper too. However, it

isn't tuned any different and has the same ground clearance. As such, it

won't perform any different when taken off road. It does look funkier

and has the extra protection, though.

fairly high opinion after driving the Mahindra XUV300. So, you can't go

wrong if you opt for it. However, considering the Venue is set to be

launched on the 21st of this month and if you aren't in too much hurry, you

may wait for it and see for yourself how Hyundai's offering in the segment
