Petrol engine doesn’t feel powerful at initial acceleration but it catches pace early.The best about this engine is that we can amble around quite easily at low speeds without shifting gears again and again.
1.4L has an excellent fuel efficiency with decent punch.It is the same engine powering elite i20 but it is tuned for the creta.1.4 motor might not be as fun to drive.But is is certainly for the one who is looking for a SUV with excellent mileage and fair output figures.
1.6L diesel is the most powerful among all.The moment you put your foot down on acceleration paddle,it gives humongous amount of power.If you love to rev,then this is the engine you should look for.Creta’s Diesel engine is also relatively silent as compared to it’s rivals.
The 1.6L manual petrol motor was churning out a mileage of 9-11kmpl in city traffic,8-9kmpl for the 1.6L AT.On wider roads and highways,Creta gave us a mileage of between 12-14kmpl for the manual one while 12kmpl for AT transmission.
Mileage of 1.4L petrol was between 15-17kmpl in normal city congestion.While on highways,a high average of 18-20kmpl was reported.
In Creta Long term review, 1.6L diesel manual gave us a mileage of 12-13kmpl in town and AT generated a mileage of 10-11kmpl.17-18kmpl was the figure estimated for 1.6L diesel manual while the AT was giving stable average of 13-14kmpl.
Suspension is a bit on softer side.As you move around the corners,you could feel sharp bumps.But anyways,it doesn’t make us uncomfortable at all.Ride is stable and well balanced.Steering is light at initial speeds and carry certain weight as speed goes up.Creta is perfect for city driving.Talking about highways,it can do triple digits easily without hesitating.High speed stability is also very good.
The price of Hyundai Creta starts at Rs. 9.29Lakhs to Rs. 13.07Lakhs(Ex-Showroom,Delhi) for petrol.Pricing for diesel begins at Rs.10Lakhs and goes upto Rs. 14.68Lakhs for the diesel top end model.
