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.
