What is the real mileage of Creta diesel?
There is no single real-world figure for the current Creta diesel: what owners get varies with the route and the driver, and no two independent tests have reported matching figures for it. The ARAI figures, 21.8 km/l for the manual and 19.1 km/l for the automatic, stay the comparable numbers. The ARAI figure comes from a fixed laboratory drive cycle; on the road it moves with traffic, driving habits and the car's condition.
