Depending on the variant, you’ll have to cover 27,895km to 95,823 km with the Hyundai Creta diesel manual to recover the extra price you pay upfront over the Creta petrol.
With the automatic, depending on the variant, you’ll have to cover 1.60 lakh to 1.63 lakh km with the Creta diesel to recover the extra price you pay upfront over the Creta petrol.
Should You Buy Hyundai Creta Petrol Or Diesel?
We’ll need to break down this recommendation into 3 parts:
- Creta Base Variant: If you’re considering the base model of the Hyundai Creta and intend to cover 65,000km or more, then the Creta diesel is a good option. It has the least price premium between petrol and diesel among all variants of the Creta.
- Creta Manual: If you’re buying the Creta diesel manual, then you’ll have to drive the car for about 66,000km to 93,000km to recover the higher cost you paid for the diesel engine over the petrol model. So, it makes financial sense to buy the diesel variant if you intend to cover about 1 lakh kilometres.
- Creta Automatic: Creta diesel automatic buyers have a bigger km-to-breakeven figure of more than 1 lakh kilometres. The reason behind this large figure is the lower mileage figure of the Creta diesel automatic. The torque converter type of automatic is quite inefficient, especially in stop-and-go traffic. Meanwhile, the CVT automatic of the Creta petrol performs efficiently in all conditions. Given the 6-figure km-to-breakeven number of the Creta diesel automatic, we’ll suggest this option only to those who are planning to drive the car for 1.5 lakh kilometres or more.

CRETA SX Automatic is the best buy, keeping in view the city traffic conditions. However, mileage differs from city to city. I get a mileage of 7-8.5 in city driving and 10-11 in highway driving. If the road conditions are good then prefer Verna over Creta. If the road condition is bad with lot of poth holes then any SUV is ok. But i am for Hyundai only.
My monthly driving of car is 1000 km to 1200 km. Now I plan to buy a new creta. Which creta will be better for me diesel or petrol version ?

Comparison is good..But nowhere i see the price difference we will get during the resale of a petrol and Diesel Creta... We can easily sell a deisel car for a better price than petrol.
