It is hardly surprising that the 1.5-liter diesel engine with the iMT gearbox is at the top of the fuel efficiency rankings. The shocker is located between the turbo-petrol engine.
When paired with a DCT gearbox, the turbo-petrol hybrid promises a little higher fuel economy of 19.2 mpg compared to the naturally aspirated petrol-manual combination’s 18.83 mpg. Another surprise is that, while by a small margin, the diesel automatic’s fuel efficiency (18.6 kmpl) is surpassed by the turbo-petrol automatic’s fuel efficiency. The kitna deti hai numbers for the diesel-manual model are not yet available because it is still awaiting certification.
