Hi team, I am planning to buy new compact SUV under 20 lakhs, confused between New Hyundai venue petrol dct and diesel tc. I heard diesel is not fuel efficient and dct is overheating if we drive more in traffic. I prefer diesel cars but iam not able to find a better mileage diesel automatic cars in the segment. I am open to any other compact SUV that should feature tech listed, fuel efficient, long engine lifespan, mainly should be sub 4 meter. Please suggest.

The Hyundai Venue with a diesel-automatic powertrain is efficient, but it would be more efficient with a manual gearbox. However, compared to a petrol-DCT, the diesel will definitely be better if mileage is the priority. The other option would be the Tata Nexon, which also has a frugal diesel engine. The downside, is the AMT gearbox that isn't as smooth or efficient as the torque converter on the Venue. 

The Hyundai car also has more features, a well-sorted and high-quality cabin and a better after-sales network.
