2019 Hyundai Venue Petrol-DCT Fuel Economy: Claimed vs Real

The Hyundai Venue Petrol-DCT has a claimed fuel economy of 18.15kmpl

The sub-4m SUV segment is one of the fastest growing in the country. And with the launch of the Hyundai Venue recently, the South Korean carmaker has also decided to claim a piece of it. The Venue not only brings segment-first connected car features to the table but also comes with a turbocharged petrol engine mated to a segment-leading dual clutch automatic transmission. We recently tested the Venue petrol-DCT and noted the mileage it delivered per litre of fuel. Here's what the numbers reveal:

As expected, the real-world fuel economy of the Venue petrol-DCT is lower than what Hyundai claims. This is due to the fact that the claimed fuel economy figures are measured in a controlled environment.

If your regular commute is in city conditions, then expect an average mileage of around 11kmpl. However, it could drop further in dense traffic conditions. But if your travel involves more highway stretches or a relatively clearer route, the overall fuel efficiency should go up by about 3kmpl. On the other hand, in the scenario where your commute is equally distributed between the city and highway, the fuel economy hovers around 12kmpl.

These figures are just indicative and bound to change depending on the road and car conditions along with the vehicle's health. But if you own a Venue DCT petrol, please share your findings with us and fellow owners in the comments section. Also if you own 1.0-litre petrol with the 6-speed manual gearbox, let us know how much its fuel efficiency figure differs from the DCT.
