Variants	KM to Recover

Should You Buy Hyundai Venue Petrol Or Diesel?

If you have a budget of about Rs. 12 lakh (ex-showroom), then we’d recommend the Venue SX diesel variants. The price difference of Rs. 85,000 and a km-to-breakeven figure of about 49,000km is negligible since most owners would cover that distance in about 2-3 years of Venue ownership. The diesel variant of the Venue is not only more fuel efficient but could also serve as a solid companion on long drives. The stronger torque output will not only help you maintain good pace on the highways but can also make overtaking slower traffic a breeze.

However, it is important to note that if you buy the Venue diesel variants, you will have to contend with the higher noise, harshness and vibration levels that are an inherent characteristic of diesel engines.
