The Hyundai Creta is one of India’s best-selling SUVs, but with five powertrain options on offer, choosing the right variant might get difficult. Here’s a detailed breakdown of both claimed and real-world mileage figures for each engine-gearbox combo that might help you pick the right variant.
A side-by-side mileage comparison of what Hyundai claims and what you’ll likely get in day-to-day driving based on the user reports is mentioned in the table.
The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol manual variant has a claimed mileage of 17.40kmpl. However, in the real world, the owners report figures of around 14kmpl in mixed conditions while it delivers 12-13kmpl in city traffic.
Opting for the CVT doesn’t significantly improve fuel economy over the manual. With an ARAI-rated figure of 17.70kmpl, real-world mileage hovers around 13-14kmpl in mixed driving. However, in dense stop-go traffic, efficiency drops sharply — with owners reporting figures as low as 10kmpl.
The 1.5L turbo petrol DCT is one of the best when it comes to performance and boasts a claimed mileage of 18.40kmpl, real-world numbers hover around 15kmpl and around 12kmpl inside the city.
The diesel manual variant claims an impressive 21.80kmpl, and in actual conditions, you can expect somewhere around 17kmpl. This makes it one of the most fuel-efficient options in the Creta lineup and great for those looking for an efficient mile muncher.
The diesel automatic has a lower claimed efficiency of 19.10kmpl. In real-life, the owners report a mileage of close to 16kmpl.
