On longer highway drives, it returns a fuel efficiency of 20 km/l at speeds varying from 80 to 115 km/h when accelerating linearly.

15,000 Kms Update
- I’ve reached the 15000 km milestone in just 6 months of owning the Creta. It has been used extensively, more than any of my other cars have been in my whole life.
- The usage includes monthly 1000 km round trips to Surat from Udaipur, a long trip to Shimla, a long trip to Ellora Caves Aurangabad, and 50 km of daily driving within the city.
- The car is running perfectly fine. In these 15000 km, the car has not experienced any issues, except for a problem that was due to a mistake by the service centre which I have shared in my previous post.
- At the 1500 km service, the Adblue tank was fully filled, and at 15000 km, the tank is at 80% level, giving an idea of the full tank Adblue long range.
- The stock Apollo ALNAC tyres have exceeded my expectations, providing good grip and minimal air loss in the month and showing very little loss in grip after covering 15000 km.
- The Tusa tyre inflator I’ve been using for the last year is of good quality and robust. The TPMS of the car and the reading of the Tusa tyre inflator match exactly.
- I maintain a tyre pressure of 32 psi in the front and 30 psi at the rear while driving in the city, while I follow the company-recommended tyre pressure of 35 at the front and 33 at the rear during highway drives.
- On longer highway drives, the car gives me a mileage of 20 kmpl at speeds varying from 80 to 115 kmph when accelerating linearly. The mileage drops to 17 kmpl if driven enthusiastically on highways. The MID shows 10% more mileage than the actual tankful method.
- City mileage is between 13-15 kmpl.
- The stock wipers gave out in only 6 months, so I bought Michelin wiper blades as replacements. Check this link for my experience with Michelins.
- The white leather interior seats are holding up well. I clean them every 3 months with 3M foaming interior cleaner, and it does the job perfectly.
- The console area near the gearbox, wireless charging pad, and handbrake rattles as usual, which seems to be a common issue in all 2nd generation Cretas. Other than this, there are no rattles inside the car.
- For washing the car I have been using Autobros Car shampoo + Turtle wax (have to spray it on the wet car and wipe it with a microfiber cloth).
