Venue N Line

Just like the i20 N Line, Hyundai also offers the N Line version of the Venue compact SUV. Venue is among the highest-selling products in this segment. Note that the N Line is different from the hardcore N Division of Hyundai. The latter is responsible for the creation of some of the most powerful hot hatchbacks in the world. The Venue N Line has a similar engine as the i20 N Line. It is a 1.0-litre turbo petrol mill which churns out a useful 120 PS and 172 Nm of peak power and torque. The transmission options are also similar, although there is an iMT instead of a pure manual. In the manual version, the mileage is 18.20 km/l, while in the automatic trim, it is 18.30 km/l.

Skoda Kushaq

Finally, there is also the Skoda Kushaq mid-size SUV. Now, we know that VW Group makes some of the most engaging automobiles. In fact, that is the reason why people prefer these over their rivals. Skoda Kushaq and VW Taigun are cousins with the same engine and gearbox options. Furthermore, they are underpinned by the same MQB A0 IN platform and even share body panels. The smaller engine on offer with the Kushaq is the 1.0-litre TSI turbo petrol mill good for 115 PS and 178 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine pairs either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The mileage figures are decent at 18.09 km/l with the manual and the same with the automatic.
