Hyundai has released the claimed ARAI fuel efficiency numbers for the second-generation Venue, launched today at starting price of Rs 7.90 lakh (introductory). The compact SUV continues to offer petrol, turbo-petrol and diesel engine options. The NA petrol engine comes only with a 5-speed manual transmission, whereas the turbo-petrol motor is available with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. A new diesel-AT option has also been added to the line-up.
- New diesel-AT variant’s claimed ARAI fuel efficiency is 17.9kpl
- Diesel-MT most fuel efficient Venue variant with a 20.99kpl figure
Petrol and turbo-petrol variants
18.05kpl to 20kpl
The Venue’s 1.2-litre petrol engine with 5-speed manual gearbox returns a claimed 18.05kpl. The 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is more efficient, delivering 18.74kpl with the manual gearbox. The DCT version posts the highest figure among the petrol line-up at 20kpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient turbo-petrol automatic options in its class.
Diesel variants
17.9kpl to 20.99kpl
The 1.5-litre diesel achieves the strongest numbers overall. Hyundai claims 20.99kpl for the diesel manual, placing it at the top of the Venue’s powertrain options for fuel efficiency. The diesel-automatic, meanwhile, returns 17.9kpl, reflecting a typical drop compared to the manual version.
These figures place the Venue competitively within the compact SUV segment, especially for buyers prioritising fuel economy without compromising on powertrain choice.
