The Creta EX (O) 1.5 Petrol is powered by a 1497 cc 1.5 litre MPI petrol engine that generates 113 bhp at 6300 rpm and ~144 Nm of torque at 4500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive layout. This setup delivers a smooth driving experience with decent acceleration and efficiency for both city and highway conditions.

The “(O)” in the EX (O) designation means this variant adds optional upgrades over the regular EX, such as slightly enhanced comfort or convenience equipment while retaining core SUV practicality. It sits between the base EX and higher-end trims in the Creta lineup — offering a good balance of value, equipment, and cost.
