News & Top StoriesHyundai Creta N Line vs. Turbo-petrol Competitors: Purported Fuel Economy Comparison
The Hyundai Creta N Line was just introduced in India, and the carmaker has made all of the information on the features, technical specs, and fuel economy of the SUV public. Exclusively offered with a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine, the Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun, and Skoda Kushaq’s comparably potent versions face off against the Creta N Line. Let’s examine the Creta N Line’s cost effectiveness compared to its competitors.
| Specifications | Hyundai Creta N Line | Kia Seltos | Volkswagen Taigun | Skoda Kushaq |
| Engine | 1.5-litre turbo-petrol | 1.5-litre turbo-petrol | 1.5-litre turbo-petrol | 1.5-litre turbo-petrol |
| Power | 160 PS | 160 PS | 150 PS | 150 PS |
| Torque | 253 Nm | 253 Nm | 250 Nm | 250 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT | 6-speed iMT / 7-speed DCT | 6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT | 6-speed MT / 7-speed DCT |
| Claimed Fuel Efficiency | 18 km (MT) / 18.2 kmpl (DCT) | 17.7 kmpl (iMT) / 17.9 kmpl (DCT) | 18.61 kmpl (MT) / 19.01 kmpl (DCT) | 18.60 kmpl (MT) / 18.86 kmpl (DCT) |
Principal Learnings
- The 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine that powers the Hyundai Creta N Line is mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (automated DCT). Although it is less economical than the Skoda-VW SUVs, it claims to give marginally higher fuel efficiency than the Kia Seltos.
- Although the Seltos and the Creta N Line share the same 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine, the Seltos has the lowest fuel efficiency of all the SUVs listed here. But the only small SUV with an option for a 6-speed iMT (manual transmission without clutch pedal) is the Seltos.
- The 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine in the Taigun and Kushaq has 10 PS less power than the one in the Creta N Line and Seltos. Out of all the SUVs listed here, Volkswagen’s compact SUV with DCT automatic gives the best fuel economy.
- With a 6-speed manual gearbox, the Skoda Kushaq nearly matches the fuel efficiency of the Volkswagen SUV, but with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, it is marginally less fuel-efficient than the Taigun.
- Not to mention, for enhanced economy, the Skoda-VW engine unit has active cylinder technology. When the engine is not under stress, such as when driving at high speeds on the highway in the highest gear, this mechanism permits two of the four-engine cylinders to become idle.
Disclaimer: Please be aware that the producers of the different products have made these fuel economy claims. The real fuel economy may differ depending on variables like weather, driving style, and state of the car.
In this case, the Volkswagen Taigun stands out as the most performance-focused small SUV. However, despite having a 6-speed iMT option, the Kia Seltos has the lowest fuel efficiency. Considered in isolation from its competitors, the Hyundai Creta N Line’s stated fuel efficiency is neither noteworthy nor concerning.
Prices
| Hyundai Creta N Line | Kia Seltos | Volkswagen Taigun | Skoda Kushaq |
| Rs 16.82 lakh to Rs 20.30 lakh (introductory) | Rs 15 lakh to Rs 20.30 lakh | Rs 16.77 lakh to Rs 20 lakh | Rs 15.99 lakh to Rs 20.49 lakh |
