Hyundai launched the second-gen Creta in India on March 16, 2020. It is priced between Rs 9.99 lakh and Rs 17.20 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It shares its engine options with its cousin, the Kia Seltos: a 1.5-litre petrol (115PS/144Nm), a 1.5-litre diesel (115PS/250Nm), and a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol (140PS/242Nm). We recently tested the Creta’s diesel-manual variant for fuel efficiency and here’s what the numbers have to say:

Engine Displacement	1.5-litre
Power	115PS
Torque	250Nm
Transmission	6-speed MT
Claimed fuel efficiency	21.4kmpl
Tested fuel efficiency (city)	16.03kmpl
Tested fuel efficiency (highway)	20.23kmpl

The Hyundai Creta diesel was unable to match its claimed fuel efficiency figure in the city as well as on the highway in our tests, but it wasn’t far off at least when it comes to highway efficiency.

Let’s take a look at how it fared in mixed driving conditions:

Mileage	City:Highway (50:50)	City:Highway (25:75)	City:Highway (75:25)
	17.88kmpl	18.98kmpl	16.90kmpl

If your commute is split equally between the city and the highway, expect the Creta diesel-manual to return a mileage of around 18kmpl. If you use the SUV mainly on the highways, the overall efficiency should go up by about 1kmpl -- closest to what the manufacturer claims. If you’re mostly in the city, you should get an average mileage of around 17kmpl.

It is important to note that these figures are indicative and are bound to change depending on the road and car conditions along with the vehicle’s health. If you own a Creta diesel-manual, do share your findings with us in the comments.
