Venue 1.0 DCT review

My final shortlist had Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet but I went for the Venue because personally, I liked its looks compared to Somet. I got the car approx 2 months after booking since the DCT variant was on high demand. I felt that the car is a perfect balance of power and fuel economy. In city traffic conditions, the normal mode would only yield a mileage of 10kmpl whereas the eco mode easily gives 15+km/l mileage. In highway, the normal mode gives around 16km/l which can be stretched to 17 or 18 with eco mode. The sport mode is also really good for driving enthusiasts. The DCT is also good compared to AMT vehicles but still could have been better. Comfort wise also it is a really good car for 4 people. The back middle seat is not that comfortable to sit in, especially for long journeys. Also, it lacks is ventilated seats at this price point. Another major con is that it doesn't have wireless Android auto on the top variant but lower variants do have it. Which is really weird. Overall it is a really good car and gives good performance if driven correctly.
