Hyundai Venue models not only generate more power and torque than the Renault Kiger variants but are also slightly heavier. This might influence their mileage in real-world conditions. However, Hyundai engines are known to be better turned for fuel-efficiency as compared to the engines from Renault. So let’s see how these factors affect the mileage of both these cars.
Hyundai Venue vs Renault Kiger: ARAI Claimed Mileage
ARAI stands for Automotive Research Association of India. It is a premier organisation that analyses vehicles on the basis of their safety, mileage, performance, and other aspects. The mileage tests are conducted in a lab-controlled manner by the ARAI and therefore, the measured ARAI mileage figures are always on the higher side as compared to the real-world mileage offered by the cars. Let’s compare Hyundai Venue and Renault Kiger on the basis of their ARAI claimed mileage figures now. The below table carries some key details regarding the claimed mileage figures of both these cars:
| Engine & Transmission | Fuel Type | Hyundai Venue – ARAI Mileage (km/l) | Renault Kiger – ARAI Mileage (km/l) |

Renault Kiger claims a higher mileage for NA petrol variants whereas Hyundai Venue claims a higher mileage for turbo petrol automatic variants. Kiger claims a higher mileage with the turbo petrol manual variants. The diesel variants of Venue cannot be compared with Kiger because Kiger does not offer any diesel engine. Similarly, Venue does not offer a petrol+CNG powertrain which means that we cannot compare it with the CNG variants of Kiger. The ARAI claimed mileage of Kiger’s CNG models aren’t officially published. So, it would be interesting to see how much real-world mileage these models deliver.
