Hyundai 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

Ex-showroom rates apply to all

Please take notice that the prices listed below are exclusively for the 1.5-liter turbo-petrol version of these SUVs.
