We’ve already talked quite a bit about the brand-new 2020 Hyundai Venue, coming soon to the area, but one thing we’ve yet to have had a chance to talk about is its fuel economy ratings. The only fuel efficiency number we could talk about was Hyundai’s own internal estimate of 33 miles per gallon combined, but now the EPA has released its official fuel economy ratings for both the automatic and manual transmission versions of the Venue.

Hyundai’s internal estimate wasn’t too far off for the IVT-equipped model! As you can see, the Venue equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission is slightly less efficient than the Intelligent Variable Transmission, but not by much. The column on the right is the estimated fuel cost per year of the vehicle based on Environmental Protection Agency data. Check out the second table below to give you an idea of how the Venue compares to other Hyundai models in this regard.
