Hyundai has launched the second-gen Creta in India. The SUV is offered in five variants with three engine options. While the power figures of these engines were already revealed, we now have their fuel economy figures as well.

Under the hood, the new Creta is offered with the Seltos’ three BS6-compliant engines: a 1.5-litre petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel, and a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol. Hyundai is offering these engines with the following transmission setups: a 6-speed MT/CVT, a 6-speed MT/6-speed AT, and a 7-speed DCT respectively. Let’s see how it stacks up against other compact SUVs in terms of mileage:

Petrol	2020 Hyundai Creta (1.5-litre)/ (1.4-litre turbo)	Kia Seltos (1.5-litre)/ (1.4-litre)	Renault Duster (1.5-litre)	Nissan Kicks (1.5-litre)	Renault Captur (1.5-litre)
Power	115PS/ 140PS	115PS/ 140PS	106PS	106PS	106PS
Torque	144Nm/ 242Nm	144Nm/ 242Nm	142Nm	142Nm	142Nm
Transmission	6-speed MT, CVT/ 7-speed DCT	6-speed MT, CVT/ 6-speed MT, 7-speed DCT	5-speed MT, CVT	5-speed MT	5-speed MT
Fuel Efficiency	16.8kmpl, 16.9kmpl/ 16.8kmpl	16.5kmpl,16.8kmpl/ 16.5kmpl	14.2kmpl, 15kmpl	14.23kmpl	13.9kmpl
Emission Norms	BS6	BS6	BS4	BS4	BS4

The table above suggests that the petrol-powered second-gen Creta is the most fuel-efficient compact SUV in the segment. Even though it shares its engines with the Seltos, its mileage figures are better than those of the latter by up to 0.3kmpl. The mileage figures of the new Creta go up by over 2kmpl when compared to those of the Renault Duster and Captur and Nissan Kicks.

Diesel	2020 Hyundai Creta (1.5-litre)	Kia Seltos (1.5-litre)	Mahindra Scorpio (2.5-litre)/ (2.2-litre)
Power	115PS	115PS	75PS, 120PS/140PS
Torque	250Nm	250Nm	200Nm, 280Nm/320Nm
Transmission	6-speed MT/ 6-speed AT	6-speed MT/ 6-speed AT	5-speed MT/6-speed MT
Fuel Efficiency	21.4kmpl/ 18.5kmpl	21kmpl/ 18kmpl	Up to 16.1kmpl (2.2-litre 120PS & 140PS- 2WD)/ 14.2kmpl (140PS-4WD)
Emission Norms	BS6	BS6	BS4

When the diesel versions of all the compact SUVs are considered, the second-gen Creta is the most fuel-efficient model here as well. The new Creta’s fuel efficiency betters that of the Seltos by up to 0.5kmpl. In the case of Mahindra Scorpio, the fuel efficiency figures vary depending upon the variant chosen. However, they still can’t match those of the second-gen Creta and fall short by up to 7.2kmpl.
