Long term reliability and maintenance cost of Hyundai Venue CNG?
by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views7 comments
With the introduction of factory fitted CNG kits in vehicles like Hyundai Venue, a question arises about their long term reliability and maintenance cost. Though CNG vehicles are known for their low fuel costs, there are questions about the durability of CNG specific components and how they will impact the life of the vehicle as a whole. While some are concerned that the CNG kit will present problems, will put more strain on engine components, or require more servicing. Yet others believe that factory fitted CNG systems are more reliable than aftermarket installations and that the savings in fuel costs are more than the additional maintenance costs. The comparison often gets extended to discuss the total cost of ownership (TCO) between CNG and petrol variants over a period of years the resale value, part replacement cost, availability of technical expertise to serve the CNG system etc. A question that this question also raises is the broader question of owning a CNG vehicle and associated experience over the period of ownership and financial planning.

I don’t think people realize how much it costs to maintain CNG vehicles. If taken care of properly, they can be just as reliable, and possibly more cheap in the long run because of less carbon buildup.

It's the real test, after 5-6 years. We'll know then if these factory fitted CNG systems are going to be able to last the distance, without major problems.

I've owned aftermarket as well as factory fitted CNG cars before, but the Venue is in a different league. It’s much more reliable, and doesn’t feel like a compromise.

Resale value is what I’m worried about. High mileage CNG vehicles are hard to find buyers for and CNG cars tend to depreciate faster.

The trick is to keep it maintained regularly. These cars will be as reliable as petrol versions if you stick to the service schedule and use good quality CNG.

I've had my Venue CNG for a year and it's actually quite low maintenance. So far, the fuel savings definitely outweigh any extra service costs.

With other CNG cars I’ve had, they seem to require more regular servicing. I still think the long term costs might be better with the Venue CNG, since it's factory fitted, but I'm still sceptical.
