We are a family of two (newly married). I am confused between the i20 N Line N8 and the Verna 1.5 NA petrol manual. My budget is ₹16 lakh. Fuel preference is petrol manual. Brand preference is Hyundai, Kia, Honda, Volkswagen, and Skoda. My yearly usage is about 10,000-12,000 km, with 60% highway and 40% city driving. I am more concerned about mileage and want to know which of these two will be more fuel-efficient.

    While turbocharged engines theoretically could offer better efficiency, due to more air intake and thus better burning, they are very sensitive to driving style and in real-world scenarios return a lower mileage than a naturally aspirated engine (other factors being the same).
    This is because a turbo engine injects more fuel into the cylinder every time it senses upcoming knocking. This happens when you give a bit more throttle input than required. Thus, you will very likely see better mileage with the naturally aspirated Hyundai Verna.
