Currently positioned as one of the most value-for-money and feature-rich offerings in the mid-size SUV segment, the Hyundai Creta continues to dominate the market. It is available with multiple powertrain options to suit the diverse needs of SUV buyers in India. But how fuel-efficient is the Hyundai Creta?
The Hyundai Creta gets three engine options – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel, and a 1.5-litre turbo petrol. As for gearbox options, buyers can choose between manual and automatic transmissions, depending on the engine..
The official Hyundai Creta mileage is 17.40 km/l for the petrol manual variants, 17.70 km/l for the petrol automatic variants, 21.80 km/l for the diesel manual versions, and 19.10 km/l for the diesel automatic variants. The 1.5-litre turbo petrol variant is claimed to deliver 18.40 km/l.
According to current owners, the Hyundai Creta 1.5-litre NA petrol manual version delivers around 14 km/l in mixed usage. The petrol automatic variants, equipped with a CVT transmission, offer a similar fuel economy.
The Creta diesel is slightly more fuel-efficient in real-world conditions. Owners report achieving around 20 km/l on highways and about 16 km/l in city driving. The automatic diesel versions are slightly less efficient, and offer around 15-16 km/l in mixed usage.
The 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine reportedly delivers around 15-16 km/l in mixed usage. However, on highways, it can be extremely fuel-efficient, reaching up to 18 km/l when driven conservatively.
