Should You Buy Hyundai Venue Turbo Petrol Or Diesel?

If you have a budget of about Rs. 10 lakh (ex-showroom), then you can buy the SX diesel eyes shut. Because this is a rare car, which is not only going to save you money during the ownership but it’s saving you money from day one. The Venue SX diesel is already Rs. 7.000 cheaper than the turbo petrol model.

As for other variants, you’ll have to decide if you’re willing to let go of the auto-clutch manual transmission for the better fuel efficiency and torque of the diesel. From our perspective, this it’s already better than a fair deal as you'll only have to drive the car for about 20,000 - 25,000km to breakeven. But from a VFM perspective, you should definitely consider the SX diesel over any other Venue diesel variant.
