The recently launched Kia Seltos Facelift and the upcoming Honda Elevate have revealed their fuel efficiency stats. While the Honda Elevate is equipped with only a petrol engine, the Seltos offers three engine options: two petrol and one diesel. Let’s compare these mid-size SUV contenders and see how they stack up against their rivals!
Petrol/CNG Manual
| Model | Claimed Mileage |
| Kia Seltos Facelift | 17 kmpl (1.5L NA) 17.7 kmpl (1.5L Turbo-iMT) |

| Volkswagen Taigun | 19.20 kmpl (1L), 18.47 kmpl (1.5L) |
Most Fuel Efficient: Maruti Grand Vitara / Toyota Hyryder. Least Fuel Efficient: Honda Elevate.
The Grand Vitara and Hyryder stand out as exclusive options with a factory-fitted CNG kit. Additionally, they offer an optional AWD system for their petrol engines, enhancing their off-road characteristics.

Most Fuel Efficient: Toyota Hyryder Hybrid / Maruti Grand Vitara Hybrid (Once again, the Grand Vitara and Hyryder reign as exclusive choices, boasting robust hybrid powertrain options that achieve an impressive mileage of 27.97 kmpl.)
Least Fuel Efficient: MG Astor.
Diesel
| Model | Claimed Mileage |
| Kia Seltos Facelift | 20.70 kmpl (iMT), 19.21 kmpl (Torque Converter Automatic) |
| Hyundai Creta | 21.4 kmpl (Manual), 18.5 kmpl (Torque Converter Automatic) |
Both the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos are powered by an identical 115PS 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine. However, the conventional manual gearbox outperforms the clutchless intelligent manual transmission (iMT) in terms of fuel efficiency.
Surprisingly, the Seltos’s diesel automatic boasts better fuel efficiency than its Hyundai counterpart.
