With both the Hyundai Creta 1.5-litre petrol IVT and Creta 1.5 Turbo-petrol DCT N Line in our long-term fleet, we subjected these cars to our fuel efficiency test.hasNext();) { Here are the results.
While the Creta 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol with a CVT (automatic) returned an average of 11.17kpl in our city loop at an average speed of 18kph, it seems pretty respectable given how slow-going this test is and the civil nature we modulate throttle inputs on most occasions to get smooth results. An example of the N Line with a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol and dual-clutch automatically returned 11.62kpl-interesting – The petrol-IVT version returned 15.05kpl on the highway while t was rated at 14.50kpl in N Line trim in N Line trim.
Both versions feature automatic engine stop-start tech that helps conserve fuel while the truck is at rest, and we left them in Eco mode for our drive. The petrol-IVT is peppier and offers smoother power delivery but also feels more at home driving in the city. But that also makes it less efficient, particularly alongside the N Line’sLinggier Eco-throttle and early upshifting tendencies.
Cruising at 100kph (briefly, on the track), both engines are spinning below 2000rpm. The N Line is a lot punchier than the NA petrol, and it feels far more relaxed on the highway. But it also suffers a little more when it comes to fuel consumption. This is intriguing because on the road, when we tested it earlier with its power train related to N Line, Hyundai Verna 1.5 Turbo DCT had better efficiency than now as well.
Autocar India efficiency testing
We fill our test cars to the brim before staging real-world fuel efficiency tests, maintaining tire pressures as per manufacturer specifications. The runs are in fixed city and highway loops around Navi Mumbai at average speeds that we support. During the tests, each car had only one occupant, and that person ran the aircon in addition to any other electrical load they needed to drive (audio system, turn signals when required for traffic, wipers). The regular driver swaps go even further to neutralize any variances from the drivers. After every cycle, we refill the tanks to make them full and calculate efficiency.
