Hyundai Creta Facelift vs Kia Seltos: Mileage Comparison
The Hyundai Creta has the same engine options as the Kia Seltos, but with differing transmission options for the turbo-petrol and diesel
The facelifted Hyundai Creta has just been launched in India with prices beginning from Rs 11 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom pan-India). While we already had various details including its new features and powertrain options, its claimed fuel efficiency figures were only revealed during the time of its launch. As it shares its engine options with its sibling, the Kia Seltos, we decided to compare the claimed mileage figures of the two SUVs to see which one would be better for your fuel budget. Check them out below:

Although both the SUVs get the same engine choices underneath their hood, the new Creta is more frugal in all powertrain options when compared to the Seltos with almost all powertrain combos. That said, the Seltos with its petrol-CVT and diesel-AT units matches the Creta’s claimed fuel efficiency figures.
The facelifted Creta isn’t available with a turbo-petrol iMT combo as the Seltos. It also has a conventional manual gearbox with the diesel engine, while the Kia SUV gets an iMT unit instead.
