The BS6 compliant Hyundai Venue recently made its debut in the Indian market. The compact SUV from Hyundai has been on sale in India for less than a year. Considering the success, Hyundai upgraded the previously available 1.4-litre BS4 diesel engine to a brand new BS6 compliant 1.5-litre diesel engine. The engine specifications like the power and torque output are already known. The prices were also revealed earlier. The most important thing that wasn’t there till now is the mileage. Fuel economy is one of the most important factors that Indians consider while buying a car.
