The BS6 Step 2 emission regulations require manufacturer to show real-world vehicle emission figures, as a result of which the company also launched a new 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine for the Creta. Hyundai for now has also stopped production of its diesel vehicle for the very reason. The updated vehicles now also E20 compliant, which means they can run on fuel with 20 per cent ethanol blend.
