Hyundai Motor Company is a brand that is well known in India. It established its presence in the country many decades ago. The brand is unlike any other brand as it continues to stay true to its identity- “a carmaker for car lovers.”

Right from 1996, when it landed on Indian shores, the brand has been catering to budding car lovers. Even as times changed, the brand’s values remained unchanged. But their vision for each decade has been broad enough to realize the needs of the developing nation. Their products are proof of this.

Speaking about products, their most recent car, the Creta, is a statement of innovation. The Creta has always amused auto enthusiasts for the comfort it offers. But wait, this does not mean that we are throwing away the fact aside. Yes, the Creta is also a powerful car. Why? well, it has proven its capability in the past through drag races.

Nonetheless, the Hyundai Creta has never gone up against its sibling. So, nobody knows which is the best Creta. It’s a burning question that has never found an answer. Not to worry because today is the day you get answers. We have a drag-racing video between a Hyundai Creta Turbo Petrol vs Hyundai Creta Diesel. The video gets brought to you by the YouTube Channel ’Yagya Sharma’.

Let’s not waste any more time. It’s a necessity to find an answer. So let us dig deep into the video right away!

Like always, it's time to see which one is the winner on paper!

The power on paper challenge!

Hyundai Creta (Turbo Petrol)

The Creta Turbo Petrol

The Creta Turbo Petrol used in this drag race comes powered by a 1.4L GDi Turbo Petrol engine which has the capacity to generate 138;08bhp at 6000rpm and 242Nm of torque

The Creta is a car ready to take on the tarmac. Under its hood lies the 1.4L GDi Turbo Petrol engine which has the capacity to generate 138.08bhp at 6000rpm. It also produces 242Nm of torque at around 1500-3200rpm.

Hyundai Creta (Diesel)

The Creta Diesel

Meanwhile, the Creta diesel used here comes powered by a 1.5L CRDi engine that has the potential to churn out 113;42bhp at 4000rpm and 250Nm of torque

The Hyundai Creta also comes in a diesel variant powered by a 1.5L CRDi engine. This engine has the potential to churn out 113.42bhp at 4000rpm. It also has the capacity to generate 250Nm of torque at 1500-2750rpm.

Now if we compare both the variants of the Creta, the Diesel has better torque. Even so, the power delivery is higher in the Turbo Petrol variant. Hence, we declare it as a tie between the two cars, at least as far as these power figures suggest.

But the real deal is the drag race. So, let us jump right into it!

First attempt

So, the battle between the two cars begin soon after the prep work gets done and quite instantly, the diesel gains the lead

The two vehicles have their own character, so there is no definitive answer to which will win. Moreover, one can say that it’s a blind battle. But the driver of the Creta turbo petrol has the confidence that it will win the challenge.

But it was only for a short period of time as the Turbo petrol engine powered Creta claims victory

The drag race battle begins on the count of three. As expected the Creta diesel pulls ahead of the Creta turbo petrol. But before you know it, the driver of the Creta petrol model pulled ahead by a considerable margin

Thus, Creta Petrol wins the first round of the drag race.

An attempt to regain lost pride!

The YouTuber and his buddies try another round of drag racing but this time the YouTuber himself is behind the wheel of the Creta Diesel

Another round of the race gets conducted but this time, the driver of the Creta Diesel is the YouTuber. After the driver change, the battle begins on the count of three. The results remain the same.

But the results remain the same, the turbo petrol-powered Creta beats the Creta Diesel

The Creta Tubro Petrol claims victory yet again.

Attempt to test the drive modes!

The Youtuber now gets behind the wheel of the Creta Turbo Petrol and this time the two vehicles are engaged in Comfort mode

The first two attempts took place with both the cars engaged in sport mode. But this time they make changes. They change the drive mode to ’comfort’. It did make a huge difference in performance strangely. The two vehicles were neck to neck in the drag race but eventually, the Creta Turbo Petrol takes the victory.
